This Yearās Dream: Special Tribute To Mizell Brothers
Mizell Brothers A special mix for special days! To close this year properly I present to you a tribute to Fonce and Larry Mizell, a.k.a. the Mizell Brothers. In the late 1960s Fonce worked for Motown and co-wrote for instance āI want you backā, āABCā and āThe love you saveā for the Jackson 5. Exactly 40 years ago Larry and Fonce started their production company āSky highā and began to work for several artists, like Donald Byrd, Bobbi Humphrey and Johnny Hammond. They created a unique multi-layered sound that shimmers somewhere between funk, jazz, soul and disco. After having huge commercial success with A Taste of Honey (ā Boogie oogie oogie ā), they suddenly stopped producing and playing on records and they mysteriously disappeared. Larry only shortly appeared on āPlay with the changesā from 4Hero in 2006. Fonce sadly passed away last year.
