The Brides of Funkenstein - Love Don't Come Easy



I found this song on a cassette tape that I had called George Clinton and the P- Funk All-Stars. This tape had a lot of good songs on it. I used to pop it in the tape deck and let it ride. Unfortunately that tape deck ate my tape. I made attempts to repair it with the old clear scotch tape technique and eventually threw it away. No need for the tape. These songs are embedded in my memory. I will post more songs from this album as I find them. Hope you enjoy this selection.

Eddie Hazel - California Dreamin'



 The first time I heard this song, It was sang by Bobby Womack. I stumbled upon this version when I started researching Eddie Hazel's music. This a song from the his solo album "Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs". I love this version of "California Dreamin'". Listen to that Guitar! I love it!

Anita Baker- Whatever It Takes


When I think of Anita Baker, I think of a beautifully unique voice that gives me goosebumps when I hear it. She is truly a great example of a woman. Listening to the songs from this songstress helps me to understand things from a woman's perspective. With that jazzy, soulful voice Anita Baker expresses every note with feeling. She's a wonderful artist and I am very grateful that I grew up on her music. Check out her website here: http://www.anitabaker.com/
