nurirashid Imagine yourself on a Sunday morning in a hotel room. You have a little hangover from the night before and you are staring out the window. You watch the first seaside visitors arrive, while your girlfriend is taking a bath. You take a peek behind the curtain. Then you take a sip from your first cup of coffee. You are starting to enjoy the day, but most of all you like the easy Sunday morning sounds in the background… ;-) Key track of this mix is 'Any old Sunday' by Chaka Khan. It's from her best album 'What cha' gonna do for me': “Teaming again with Arif Mardin, slowly but surely the two began to craft an even more successful and innovative sound.” ( Allmusic.com ). Thanks to Nicolas Drosos ! Have fun with this Sunday edition of ‘ Groovy, sexy and soulful ’! Tracklist: Johnny Hammond – Tell Me What To Do (1975) Ronda Thomas – Show Me How To Love You (2014) Sunburst Band – Everyday (2004) Chaka Khan – Any Old Sunday (1981) Eddie...

In 1978 Deprijck also had a major solo success in France, the Netherlands and Belgium with ‘Kingston, Kingston’, under the moniker Lou & The Hollywood Bananas. In the English speaking world Deprijck's best known hit was ‘Ça plane pour moi’, which he recorded and sang for Plastic Bertrand. 'Que tal America' has become a big underground disco classic over the years. It has been played by Bob Sinclar​, Joey Negro​ and Dimitri From Paris​. Tracklist: Bloodstone ‎– Nite...

Groovy, Sexy & Soulful Part 45 Love Ballads Edition

Prepare yourself for Valentine’s Day with these love ballads! Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti's 'Alelui' is from the outstanding new compilation album 'Brazilian Boogie Connection – From Rio To Sao Paulo 1976 to 1983'. This collection of songs is a great example of the nation's rich legacy of soul music, especially the kind of upbeat, hard-grooving styles that still stay strong on today's global dancefloors! The ground-breaking selection is a wonderful batch of rare club, disco, and boogie tracks from the Brazilian scene of the late 70s and early 80s. The grooves here are razor-sharp throughout and many tracks may well blow away better-known US cuts from the time! One of the best tracks in this mix is the doo wop disco song 'Tonight' by American Italians The Earls (a bit similar to the Four Seasons). It sounds incredibly good! You can feel the excitement of the singer. It’s a rework of their sixties original in a style that is comparable to di...
