Jazzy.. Funky... Latin... Soul...

A rare groove that I really enjoy is 'To prove my love' from Ned Doheny (born in 1948 in Los Angeles):

“Sampling would make his music accessible to a succession of hip-hop and rap artists. One of his songs, “To Prove My Love”, would become an underground dance hit in England and a seminal influence in the world of house music.” (Quote: Ned Doheny Official Site)

Thanks to DJ Spinna for the inspiration! Picture: Arjan Benning.
