The boxes of tape are cracked and splitting. Some of the tape is threatening to crumble. The great Harvey Fuqua is stacked on top of the Bluegrass Alliance.

Classic lp gets a cd outing Smile on my face seeing this classic lp finally geting a cd release, (now wondering where my old copy is stashed) Ronnie Laws- Every Generation Saxophonist Ronnie Laws held high profile gigs with Quincy Jones and Earth, Wind And Fire before signing with Blue Note in 1975 where his first album Pressure Sensitive yielded the hit “Always There” which is still a staple in dance clubs around the world. By Every Generation, his fourth album, Laws’s writing and production was getting so sophisticated and R&B-oriented, that he was moved to United Artists Records. With writing and producing partner William Jeffrey, Ronnie produced state-of-the-art R&B gems with this album, using his own band plus siblings Hubert and Eloise Laws and guests Larry Dunn, Joe Sample and Patrice Rushen. samples at http://www.bluenote.com/detail.asp?SelectionID=10433 1 Young Child 2 Never Get Back To Houston 3 Every Generation 4 Tomorrow 5 O. T. B. A. Law (Outta Be A Law) 6 Love’s Victory 7 Thoughts & Memories 8 As One Every Generation, now a sought after collectors’ item for DJs and club habitués, appears on CD for the first time.

Usually pretty switched on here but do at times make odd mistakes one pointed out to us (see below) was calling Rufus Wonder Mr Wood in a news post https://www.soul-source.co.uk/a...hp?storyid=1427 anyway thats all sorted now and as email contains news of his website reckon email is worth a pass on ta mike To whom it may concern--- I am Rufus Wonder, there was and article in the Oakland Tribune that read Soul ledgen Rufus Wonder makes music again, March 15, 2004. I am not Rufus Wood, it was and article about "Rufus Wonder". Angela Hill of the Oakland Tribune, interviewed me at my apartment in Oakland before the Soul Trip USA, 2004. My web site: https://www.rwe-usa.com . Thank you very much, Rufus Wonder.
