flo & eddie - keep it warm (1976)

dorothy ashby - "hip harp" (full album)

:)

whitney - no woman (2016)

this song popped up on spotify and i was very pleased with it, but surprised to discover that it was a recent song by a group of young white boys! wow! there's a depth to this tune / production that belies that fact. nice song!

jim sullivan - jerome (1970)

francis the great - look up in the sky (1977)

francis the great a french/cameroonian kid singer in paris, lighting up this afro funk track! the rare album was recorded in 1977, but only recently re-released in 2015 on hot casa records + is now featured on spotify if you have the right kinda "discover weekly" algorithms.

rachel sweet - it's so different here (1978)

stereo total - orange mechanique

i used to listen to stereo total in high school!! now it's 11 years later and my head is spinning!

this track is a wonderful, compact morsel - like so many stereo total songs. i love the dramatic opening, the monologue, and the thematic go-go portion that follows... evocative of a monster B-movie. stereo total transcends time and space!

joe cocker - space captain
