| Maybe his name is not as familiar as the ones from Cerrone and Costandinos, but the man has made great contributions to their sound and is a legendary composer and musician. Discover the man and his soundz: Vulture interviews... ![]() |

| There was no mention of Here Comes That Sound by Love Deluxe. That was a monster hit, and had a remake just a few years ago. http://www.discomusic.com/records-more/1819_0_2_0_C/ |

| Yep, I noticed that too, a pity! Needle, can you do me a favour? Can you go to the "Honey, I shrunk...."-thread and listen to the Alan Hawkshaw entry there. It's the same vid but mashed up with a Discogroove and I don't recognize it!!!! Thx! |

| Nice, but I don't know the song. And I also do not have the Love DeLuxe lp. I only have a bootleg re-issue of the long version of Here Comes That Sound. It may be one of the songs on the flipside. Or something all together different. Anybody else? |

| Thanks for the link to the video. The track 'The Champ' was a hip hop samplers favourite back in the day. It was a generic remake of Lowell Fulsom's The Tramp, although I think it was more based on the Otis Redding version. I still think they say 'Tramp' in the Mohawks studio recording, but they changed the title to avoid being sued. I didn't think Hawkshaw played all that great in the video. It sounded like he hadn't played anything for a number of years. Disco Funk |

| I didn't know anything about him before other than him playing on some of the disco albums and Love DeLuxe. It was quite an eye opener to read. toto |

| The interview doesn't seem to mention that Alan composed the theme music to Channel 4's 'Countdown'!

| Well the mystery is solved! I've recieved the info by the man behind that clip and this is what JLFU says about it: "That Hawkshaw tune doesn't really exist in that format, it's one of my creations. The original tune is a never commercially released tune by him called "Man Of Means" and has a very mellow stripped down sound to it. I added a whole new percussion section and some synths to it and called it "VD". In it's original format the only place it's ever made public was in the adult flick "Maraschino Cherry" from 1978 (co starred Wade Nichols aka Dennis Parker). My version is edited down by a few minutes in that videoclip I made." |
