Several questions!

**Fabrizio** · September 22nd, 2002, 09:08 AM

I made some very short mp3s (only 200 KB)
from old recordings of mine, and
I would like someone to listen to them
and to tell me the songs:

http://www.usa.gl/temp/benson.mp3
(it *may* be George Benson)

http://www.usa.gl/temp/sledge.mp3
(it *may* be Sister Sledge)

http://www.usa.gl/temp/desire.mp3

http://www.usa.gl/temp/armatrading.mp3
(it shoud be Joan Armatrading,
this is not a dance song)

If you have problems in donwloading, please browse:

Another question:

Which is the exact title of
"Dance on the groove and do the funk"
(around 1981 by Love International?)

Thanks

Fabrizio

The song by LOVE INTERNATIONAL is really
named "Dance On The Groove And Do The Funk".
It has been also released by the FUNK MACHINE
Cosmic Love & Kisses From SIRIUS & DARKTUNES

Hi Fabrizio,

I listened to your sound samples...I had no trouble at all!!!!

I'm sure #1 is Al Jarreau "Distracted" (1980)

After that, I'm less sure....

#2 sounds like Change possibly...I don't think it's Sister Sledge...sounds like the title should be "On Top"...ring any bells???

#3 is a male vocal "baby I'm burnin' with DESIRE" ...The Masqueraders did a "Desire" song in 1980...BUT that's a wild guess.

#4 sure sounds like Joan Armatrading doing a light reggae shuffle thing...BUT again it doesn't sound familiar...if I have time I'll pull my Joan records and listen again.

Someone else here will know them easily I'd think.

Fabrizio,

I was over at allmusic.com ...so I did a few title searches on your songs.

I'm pretty sure that #2 IS Change cause I found a song titled "On Top" by them. I don't have that LP..so I can't definitively say...BUT I'd be very surprised if that's not it.

On #3....I found several more possibilities for "Desire" songs...Leon Haywood, Philip Bailey, and BB& Q Band from that early '80's time period. I have to listen to the sample again to see if it sounds like any of those artists. Anyone ELSE know?????

The Joan Armatrading is STILL a mystery.

BUT I haven't given up.

Hi Fabrizio,

Marky is right about # 2. It's "On Top" by Change from their 1981 album, MIRACLES.

Sorry, I don't know who does 'desire' and I'm clueless about Joan A.
