Midnight Breeze: Slowing Down Before Bedtime

Volkswagen
“The recipe for good times is simple, it calls for a boat, open shirts, sun kissed women, a few bottles of spirit, a couple of joints and some of that peruvian marching powder.”
(Sweatson Klank)

Soul singer Sunny (Leslie) used to be in the original line-up of Brotherhood of Man (United We Stand), but she had left the group already, when they became extremely successful from the mid- to the late seventies. Sunny is mostly known as one-half of UK backing vocals duo Sue & Sunny with her sister Yvonne Wheatman, later known as Sue Glover. During the late 1960s and 1970s, Sue and Sunny were two of the busiest session vocalists in England, working with Lulu (backing her at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969), Tom Jones, Joe Cocker (on With a Little Help from My Friends), Cat Stevens and Elton John, to name but a few. In 1974 Sunny Leslie finally had a solo hit record with Doctor's Orders, after quite a few failed attempts. Sister Sue sang with Germany’s Joy Fleming on the excellent Ein Lied kann eine Brücke sein at the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest. The renewed Brotherhood of Man, in the meantime, had become an ultra-light weight pop group, which is not always a step in the right direction, but it helped them to win the Eurovision Song Contest a year later.

Singer Marc Almond (formerly of Soft Cell) about his track Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, live at the Royal Festival Hall:
“You know what, being a narcissist, that could be a love song to myself”

Disco Knockouts!

Apart from the picture of Sharron Davies, there are two songs that inspired me to make this mix. One of them is a recent track from Duck Sauce. The repetition of the female vocals reminded me of Stars On 45 (I believe they both sampled 'Gotta Go Home' by Boney M). The other one is from Dutch singer Dee Dee. I heard ‘I put a spell on you’ on a recent episode of Tim Sweeney’s ‘Beats in space’. In the accompanying video she looks a little bit like a sex doll, but I love the song! I like the closing track from soul veterans the Drifters, but isn’t it strange to hear guys who were in their thirties at the time sing about schoolgirls? Different times, I guess, when no one had heard of R. Kelly yet... One of my personal favourites is ‘Night time’ from Maggie MacNeal. I bought the 7” which was produced by Michael Lloyd (known for his work for the Osmonds, Lou Rawls and Solomon Burke) way back in 1979. Maggie MacNeal was one half of successful Dutch duo Mouth & MacNeal. Their bigg

The Smooth Operators Present Classic Yacht Rock

Unsplash The Smooth Operators (Martijn Soetens and I) introduce you to yacht rock songs that you must have heard at least once in your life! We present some real yacht rock classics and yacht rock songs that we think should have been classics. Harden My Heart by American pop/rock group Quarterflash was written by guitarist Marv Ross and included on the band's debut album, Quarterflash (1981). The song was originally released as a single in early 1980 by Seafood Mama, Quarterflash's predecessor band. Quarterflash's version became a top-10 hit in the United States, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1982. Guitarist and songwriter Marv Ross remembered that a friend of his had given him the title and that he came up with the lyrics very quickly. Last Monday Michael McDonald, front man of the Doobie Brothers, celebrated his 72th birthday: "Emerging from the laid-back California rock scene of the '70s, McDonald found his niche in a unique blend of

West Coast Sundown: Yacht Rock, Late Night Pop & Sunset Soul

Unsplash Enjoy the soundtrack to a West Coast sundown! 😊 The closing track by Matt Duncan is brand new, by the way. It sounds like a lost recording from The Nightfly sessions by Donald Fagen. At the time critics sometimes called David Cassidy’s music bubblegum pop. That was simply defined  music manufactured to sell as much records as possible and it was mostly aimed at a very young audience. Bubblegum's classic period ran from the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies. At that point disco music took over the single market. However, David Cassidy certainly made some very good records, although in later years he found it difficult to shake off his teen idol image. “His wispiest, breathiest hit was called ‘I Am A Clown’. Poor, sweet, forlorn sexy David – marshmallows could’ve bruised this sound.“ (Bob Stanley in his book Yeah Yeah Yeah )  Midas Shadow by Al Stewart is from his classic 1976 album The Year Of The Cat . The message of this song is that when a successful businessman stops
