Slow & Easy Grooves II

It’s time to ease things down a little bit. This is my follow-up for 'Slow & Easy Grooves part 1' that came online a few weeks ago (24th of November). One of the highlights in the mix is Roger (Troutman). He became well-known for singing through his talking-box (which gave him a robot or vocoder sound). He was co-founder of the legendary eighties funk band Zapp, together with his brothers Larry and Terry. They were an inspiration for many hiphop acts. Roger can be heard on ‘California love’ from 2Pac, for instance. During an argument about money Larry killed his brother Roger on the 25th of April 1999, before he aimed the gun at himself.

Hall & Oates were a rock-soul duo and highly successful from the late 1970s to the mid 1980s. ‘Kiss on my list’ is one of their best pop singles.
