    Artist 'Themes'

    Remicks thread inspired me to start this one about Artist Themes, you know, those tracks that are usually instrumentals that bear the artist's name in the title.

    Besides Trammps Theme, which was mentioned in the other thread, here are a few others. They don't necessarily have to have 'theme' in the title, like MFSB for example

    Anglo Saxon Brown - ASB Theme
    MFSB - MFSB
    Vivian Reed - Vivian's Theme (previously unreleased, it was put on a philly compilation CD a few years ago)
    The Brothers - Brothers Theme


    Alright, your turn guys.

    2 that spring to mind are the 'Earth, Wind & Fire' track form their 'Spirit' LP which I adore, & 'Chic Cheer' from 'CEst Chic'.

    Re: Artist 'Themes'

    Here's two that I enjoy that fit the "theme" of discussion:

    "D Train Theme" by D Train


    "Theme for Black Light" by The Black Light Orchestra
    (there was no clip of this song on YouTube, "Morricone" is very similar.

    I got a few more

    Village People - Village People
    Soul Train Gang - Soul Train Theme (a bit of a cheat since the artist is named after the show)
    Carol Douglas - Carol's Theme (I and II) part of Midnight Love Affair

    Those are good selections. Anything that has the artists name in the title, it's basically a 'theme', but I don't think has to be an instrumental.

    Kool & The Gang, New York City Band and Pieces Of A Dream did eponymous tracks. Some more I've come up with:

    Re: Artist 'Themes'

    One could argue that Donna Summer's Summer Fever and Village People's Village People qualify as themes.
