Bridgette Mcwilliams - Fire (Remix)

A very tasty soul song that I heard via Gavin Christopher, mentioned in the post below this one. Trying to figure out what Gavin did on this track. Can hear his voice in the background. He may have played a songwriting and production roll too. GC

ZANA.M

Came across Zana.M from a old friend, Gavin Christopher. Gavin is one of those gifted cats who is one of the most serious soul singers you'll ever see live. He is also a great songwriter whose reputation goes back to the days of writing and co-writing songs for great groups like Rufus & Chaka Khan. I got to know Gavin when I shot the China Club Pro Jams back in the 1990's and he was lead vocalist in the group, Jack Mack and the Heart Attack. Gavin never stops working and writing. Here is one of his current collaborations with ZANA.M of Tokyo.

***Gaby Moreno update: Since this post was originally posted in February of 2012, Gaby has transcended beyond "indie" status when she was signed to Metamorfosis‎ Records in March of 2012. In November, 2013, Gaby won the Latin Grammy in the category for Best New Artist, something MusicLoad had proclaimed several times prior to that as far back as 2006 :)

See the video to a song from Gaby's latest 2014 Christmas Album:

Billy Preston

Billy Preston wrote this song with two other writers, and he was the first to record it and release it, just before Joe Cocker covered and released it slightly later in the same year and was credited for making the song famous. This recording by Billy Preston is such a beautiful heartfelt authentic recording. It was the 6th track on Billy's 11th record, The Kids & I, released in 1974.

It was such a cool thing to film Billy Preston live, performing at the China Club pro jams in the 1990's, where I was the exclusive videographer. I have some dope ass footage. The dude was full of rare energy that always brought the room to higher life. Will post at some point. Stay tuned.

Peace Love Groove,

And, I love her and all of her music. AND..... She has a great sense of humor and is super duper humble and cool, as is evident in the video.
