Wade Marcus

Yet another version of spinning wheel plus
a bonus track. I think he gets most of his credits
as an arranger for various people. Played with
Donald Byrd, Stanley Turrentine, blah blah blah.
Remember this Jungle Brothers/Q-tip song?:

GET

Hielo Ardiente


A nice spanish
cover of Cymande's "The Message,"
"Mensaje," 1974:

Mother Nature's Son


Sorry about the editing on these recordings. The songs mix
into each other on the record so you may notice little bits at the
beginning and endings. Shouldn't be enough to get anyone
upset though. If you have any download problems just
add .stix to the file. Should fix it. I think I've had this
record for about 10 years and have just now really listened to it.
There are so many RamseyLewis records that it's easy to let one
slide by every now and then, or at least put off listening to one you
already own. Most people probably know about these Beatles covers.
Here's a few of my favorites...
your welcome:

Death Machine

Does anyone listen to the radio show religously? Ice Cream Sunday?
If so, some of the songs on this mix'll be repeats from the show.
A fair mix anyhow, if you comment then i'll know. Maybe
I should be a little bit more informative on my posts?
See if yous can guess what song on this mix the
post is named after. It's another pretty
broad mix. Sorry it's been so
long since my last post.
I'll try to keep up
on it more
often:

The combination is powerful"

Roosevelt Franklin

Roosevelt Franklin (middle) was the first major black character
on sesame street. He was dropped after they received
too many letters stating that he was a negative stereotype.
Here are a couple of songs from the record
"Hi, My Name Is Roosevelt Franklin."
(Sorry, my record's not the best quality)
