This is priceless -- probably one of the best solos Prince has played, and Tom Petty adding additional coolness on vox.
Enjoy, especially from the 3:30 minute mark onwards..
Mica Paris and Wrapt Up
Ladies and gentlemen,
listening to a song in a mixtape, my feet could not stop moving. What was that? And then this voice -- hey, I know this voice from somewhere. Is it? Yes it is, the great Mica Paris. Jointly with UK funky outfit Wrapt Up.
If this song does not move you I do not know what will -- grooovvyyyy and fuuuuuunky. Check it out: Wrapt Up & Mica Paris -- Take it back
For those of you not in the know -- may I direct your attention to the undisputed queen of UK soul -- Mica Paris. A truly gifted singer, she had a great ear for perfect summer pop songs, still with lots of depth to them…
Hitting the UK soul scene at the end of the 80s, she had a couple of hits, notably “My one temptation” -- check it out…
Also great: a duett with Boy George on the classic God Bless The Child
Mica’s voice was always a favourite for house remixers, and there are an amazing array of funky house songs with her voice on. Check out Funky Soul Rebels -- and listen to it with your volume all the way up…
Eli “Paperboy” Reed
What an amazing voice -- and I was stunned to see this is a white soul boy. This guy sounds like he has inhaled a big dose of Stax soul music. Somehow his voice reminds me of Otis Reading….
His new CD is great, but check out this nice live video
Here is the new single, nice groove
Prince – Somewhere here on earth – Live
Prince videos are always hard to find, as the man seems to be quite protective of his opus being shared on the net. However, here I found a great gem. Live and in your ear!!!!
Boy, can this guy sing falsetto. And what a nice make-up he is wearing, matches nicely with the funky ear-rings.
Enjoy:
And for those remembering “back in the day”, here as nice promo of Sheila E and Prince with “A Love Bizarre”. Full Paisly Funk
