Here I Stand

Here I Stand: 20 Greatest Hits /　Wade Flemons（2000）



R&B artist who was on the register from "The Salty Peppers" ,
initial of Earth and Wind&Fire .

He left EWF in 1973 after the p articipation for 2 albums.
He took charge of Vocal, Vibes, and Electoric Piano, and we can find his name to the writer name of the tune.

The atmosphere of this album was quite different from the one of EWF !
Though I was expected an initial EWF sound .

It is up to a tune like the oldies in the 60's
Tunes that sounds to be used for high school barn dance of gym.
This is music that an easy mind seems to lighten.
Ｉ　like this album ,anyway.

Writing On The Wall

Writing On The Wall (1987)


Finally I could get the record that I was looking for long time!

"Writing On The Wall"

I knew that this song was being collected only to the record as a coupling of "System Of Survival"
But I couldn't find it for over 10years!

This tune starts from a witty rhythm of Kalimba.
I imagined a quiet mysterious tune from the title.

But it is a tune of up-tempo!
Easy to remember the melody of this song!
Written By Maurice White , Philip Bailey, Preston Glass.




Thank you,Kim for giving me this information!

Cher

Cher / Cher  (1987)



What a brilliant carrer that Cher has in her history!
For the actress,she won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award and three Golden Globe Awards.

For the singer she got the gramy awards with the song "Believe".

In the 8th song of her 13th album "Cher",Maurice White participated in with his vocal!

The appearance of the of Maurice is from the latter half but gave a strong spice to this song.
Two from this album, "I Found Someone" and "We All Sleep Alone" was a smash .

If this tune of the Maurice White participation ,
 I guess it did the nature that becomes a hit enough ･･･
It is a wonderful hot and sexy tune.

I think that only a star could have gathered such a high-quality tunes .
