Hey SDF!

I'm proud to announce that on September 1st, the "Back To Class" benefit project will continue with "Take It Slow," a single featuring Mr. Eddie Willis of The Funk Brothers. As with the original album, 50% of the profits from the single will be donated to the music programs of the Detroit Public Schools.

My group from NYC, The Funk Machine, provides the backing track. The song also features Delbert Nelson and Brian Asselin who both toured extensively with the Funks after the "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" movie, and are now working together in Delbert & The Commotions.

Many of you know that Uriel Jones of the Funks was an early inspiration and mentor to me, and I couldn't be happier to work with Eddie and Delbert to try and capture the spirit of the music that influenced me so much!

Thanks everyone, I hope you like it!
