The overriding reason for so many acts doing this is the diminishing income from publishing. With streaming being the norm re how people "consume" music, royalty payouts are a fraction of what they...

Donny wrote and produced this. It's the same backing track as Cold Blood's version so this is in effect a guide vocal. An absolutely stunning vocal by anyone's standards...

Here's hoping that the sound quality is better than the Kool & The Gang and Cameo Collected set. A lot of poor vinyl needledrops on both sets.

There is no way that this is official.

The Stevie Wonder and Al Green shows were due to be officially released on DVD in the UK in 2006. They were cancelled at the last minute owing to rights...

The most singular genius in popular music.

Interesting hearing Stevie speaking to Questlove earlier today in the middle of his Stevie tribute streamed DJ set - he mentioned how it was interesting...

For what's it worth, there's a Stevie forum where someone with close connections to his inner circle stated that he does have kidney issues, but he's been having treatment for a while and all is...

Which German person is this?

A namedrop admittedly, but I was in a band that accompanied Brenda Holloway at a private gig in London last month (I was the guitarist). Brenda certainly still has it...

Aaron Hall, the poor man's Charlie Wilson.

That's because there aren't any. But, as I said earlier, the chord progression in the former is pretty much the same as Let's Get It On with one exception. The rhythmic movement of the backing music...

Actually, in the eyes of the law, it is an argument with merit, thanks to the ridiculous Blurred Lines decision, which saw Thicke and Pharrell losing for appropriating the feel of Got To Give It Up....

I love Chaka...but I saw her live in 2017 in London and...well, she definitely was a bit out of it. But sounded fantastic and definitely not messy vocally.

Some good points - I know where you're coming from. It's not dissimilar in its quirky compositional characteristics to "I'd Be A Fool Right Now" (no accident that both feature Henry Cosby as a...

It totally amazes me that something as incredible as Stevie's "I'll Wait For You To Come Home" has been unreleased for so long - Stevie's voice at its best too.

Truly a crying shame if, as rumour...

A good amount of Stevie stuff there!

Please let there be some Stevie in there...

Duffy pretty much killed her career in the UK at least with this advert - it's not pleasant vocally...

The warp's apparently throughout the whole track! It's a good song but practically unlistenable owing to the state of the tape.

Sadly, the first few tracks on CD1 of the Kool & The Gang "Collected" set are needledrops of off centre pressings. This isn't mentioned in the booklet or case.

Great! It always irks me when there's no mention of needledrops on a CD release.

Did the full length version of this ever surface?

Jungle fever's a great album - Make Sure You're Sure's one of his best ballads ever.

I have a fair bit of unreleased stuff from mainly '73/'74 that just begs to be released - maybe Stevie will dig...

Let's face it, they're pretty glaring. "Silly" was definitely...er, "inspired" by the former.

Just an observation.

Amazing! I particularly love hearing Stevie directing the band...

I would still love to see the Dare You To Love Me album released in full. OK, most of the tracks have been released, but there are a good few that remain unavailable - and the version of You And I...

It has some incredible ballads (Send One Your Love, Power Flower, The Secret Life Of Plants for example). It undeservedly has a bad reputation. I've got a few alternate unreleased versions from the...
