Disco Monk wishes you a Happy Valentines Day with The Emotions. This fabulous R&B all girl trio were the Hutchinson sisters from Chicago and they are one of my all time favorite of the girl groups. They made impeccable and well produced music during the late '60s and '70s. They were also associated with Earth, Wind and Fire by performing live with them and collaborating on their timeless classic "Boogie Wonderland". They also worked with the late Issac Hayes as well. Ms. Wanda, Pamela and Sheila were huge on the dance floors 1976 with their dance classic "I Don't Want To Loose You" and "Best Of My Love" from their LP Flowers released that same year. My friend Wiki told me that they still continue to perform and make personal appearances. So here is one of their lesser known early singles from 1969 that I could always dance to and just seems fitting for this Valentine's Day. Wishing you a lot of love always and specially today. Enjoy!
It was time again to honor the life of Martin Luther King Jr. New York City style by going to the legendary Body & Soul at Webster Hall. The party was stunning with the trio comprised of legendary Joe Clausell, Francois K and Danny Krivit manning the turntables. The music was exquisite with a blend of old school house and some classic disco. Highlights were a sublime remix presented by Joe Clausell of Eddie Grant's "Timewarp"with a harmonica/bluesy break that lifted souls on that dance floor. He actually remixed the original and added the break from "Nobody Got Time", a brilliant re-take of the same song by Timmy Regisford. Also, disco classic "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth Wind & Fire brought the house down in the tradition of B&S. Danny Krivit dropped an exciting never heard of before, cinematic instrumental epic disco song. I was also pleasantly surprised and taken by the early 00's house that was played with some forgotten yet amazing tracks making the evening memorable. One such tune was Beth Orton's emblematic "Central Reservation" elevating the song to dance classic status. So here is the Spiritual Life/Ibadan remix of "Central Reservation", an interesting live take of Eddy Grant's "Timewarp" from one of David Mancuso's loft parties plus Timmy Regisford's "Nobody Got Time" and "Earth Wind & Fire's classic "Boogie Wonderland" giving you great time capsule of the event. Enjoy!
