Shep Pettibone mixes are always welcome here.
Thanks Paul 🙂
She looks marvelous! The Brothers Johnson is funky enough and then some.
Isaac Hayes, Peaches and Herb, Patrice Rushen are some others but those are 1970’s heyday.
This isn’t a request line and you don’t owe anything but do you have any Miami Bass or singles by the Smiths?
Many thanks!
You’re welcome 🙂
This is a new one for me Paul, but I love discovering new things, especially with a Shep Pettibone remix! Should be a lot of fun, for a Friday making way for a weekend!
Thanks again for very cool music this week, as always. Hope you, Song And Dance and your readers have a fantastic weekend!!!
Jeff
A very fun song I am really surprised it did not get a wider release only in Belgium and UK. I think it could have been a big dance hit if it had been released in the USA. Have a great weekend 🙂
