Mickey Finn Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 "Give it on up" quite similar in style and arrangement to Stephanie's "Put your body in it" from the previous year ... and always good to hear Tawatha. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chris Turnbull Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Didn't realise when I posted this morning that Reggie Lucas died only a couple of weeks ago. Interesting piece here from Rolling Stone - didn't know him and Mtume were in Miles Davis' band together:- https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/reggie-lucas-madonna-producer-dead-at-65-w520529 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mickey Finn Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Chris, I strongly recommend you get yourself a copy of this great compilation on Expansion: Most of the tracks featured here are on this, including this floor filling cracker: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Reggie Lucas - totally missed that Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mickey Finn Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 That comp steered me much deeper into their output than I had been previously. Everything seems to be available cheap as chips on vinyl or on cd reissue which makes for a very nice price/quality ratio. I'll never forget seeing Shaun Robbins pack the Blackpool Hilton lounge twice in the same weekend with that Sadane track. But Ralph Tee and Paul Clifford have been two of the biggest champions of this production team, representing what Ralph means by the whole luxury soul concept. This tune regularly gets described as the best Mtume-Lucas production that wasn't produced by the great men themselves - Michael Lovesmith gets the credit: Vinyl only for the album (easily her best for me - the others too eurodisco but all reissued), but this tune appears on another Expansion comp well worth acquiring: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mickey Finn Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 "Keep going on" by Gary Bartz feat. Tawatha appears on the Expansion Mtume-Lucas comp but this mainly instrumental is on the "Bartz" LP, also cheap as chips, and reissued on cd a few years back. Classy classy classy...
