Smooth Sailing: California Dreaming & Soulful Streaming
Feel the Californian moods and soulful grooves on this new episode of Smooth Sailing!
The soon to be released 45 box and cd ‘The Brasileiro Treasure Box of Funk and Soul’ stretches across the scope of funk, soul, and psychedelic music from Brazil. Some highlights include the extremely rare and funky ‘Labirinto’ by 2001 & Beto, the blistering psychedelic funk of Antônio Carlos & Jocafi’s ‘Quem Vem Lá’, the essential rare groove track ‘Bananeira’ by Emilio Santiago and Osmar Milito E Quarteto Forma’s rare ‘América Latina’, which is sampled by Madlib and featured on this cloudcast. ‘The Brasileiro Treasure Box of Funk and Soul’ is out on ‘Culture of soul’ on the 23rd of October.
In 1970 Syreeta (or Rita) Wright and Stevie Wonder got married and
although they were divorced just 18 months later, they continued to work
together for several years. They wrote 'Spinnin' and spinnin', for
instance, in 1974 (4 years after 'It's a shame' for the Spinners). Born
in Pittsburgh in 1946, Syreeta originally joined Motown Records as a
receptionist. Brian Holland discovered her musical talents and she then
became a performer and songwriter. Big successes after her work with
Stevie Wonder were her duets with Billy Preston around 1980, like 'With
you I'm born again'. She sadly passed away on the 6th of July 2004 of
heart failure, due to cancer treatment.
The track by Skylephant is an exclusive one! It will be released on the 13th of November.
