Late Night Summer Groove

Just sit back and relax on a warm summer night… One of the tracks is Music Of The Earth by Patrice Rushen, which can also be found on the new compilation You Remind Me (The Classic Elektra Recordings 1978-1984):

“A child prodigy gifted with a honey-dipped voice, Rushen was already a sought-after musician in the late ‘70s when Elektra/Asylum came calling. You Remind Me (The Classic Elektra Recordings 1978-1984) showcases and celebrates her freewheeling soul sound. Alongside labelmates and fellow visionaries like Donald Byrd and Grover Washington, Jr., she took soul into less rigid and earnest territory, mixing in pop-friendly melodies and rhythms, and even a dash of new wave.”
