Chinese Wall

Chinese Wall / Philip Bailey (1984)




I did't know that Ralph Johnson participated in the song writing of "Go" in this album.
Also The Phenix Horns were in with horns and backvocal.

Produced by Phil Collins featuring smash hit "Easy Lover"
The lineup of this album is various.
Slow ballade pulled out the charm of a beautiful falsetto of Philip Bailey fully,
and up-tempo musical pieces  made us funky!

Maximum hit album of Philip got the 2nd place at Billboard Hot 100.
And also got the gold record by RIAA in March in 1985.


How about you to take this  CD out of shelf and listen it after a long time?

Lover's Silhouette

LOVER'S SILHOUETTE Larry Dunn Orchestra (1996)




Larry Dunn was original member of Earth, Wind & Fire as a keyboardist .
I feel happy that he sometimes appear at the recording of EWF still now.

His solo project is the historical master piece.
The beautiful melody which he plays charms our heart always.

Many members of EWF gathered for this album.
Though I did't get which music and which members were in,
cause of no nortification.

Al McKay / Gutitar
Ronnie Laws / Saxphones
Ralph Johnson / Drums
Louis Satterfield, Don Myrick, Micheal Harris, Luiso,

Ramlee used to play trumpet @ " Phinixs Horns"well known as former horns of
Earth,Wind & Fire.

After they left EWF, they got together with Pill Collins.

In this album, although slow melodious music is in the mainstream, the up-tempo ethnic music is also contained.

It is the one which deliver us various expression of the trumpet .

Face Value

Face Value / Phil Collins (1981)



British rock star Phil Collins is well known with many hit songs.
"Easy Lover" duet song of he and Philip Bailey also made a big hit!
But I didn't know that he had career of playing an active part as an actor.

This album is his first solo album which should be commemorated after he got out from Genesis.

I think, maybe it was necessary that this made a hit with these sophisticated songs, and his singing ability .

It contains various tune from cool to hot ,sometimes.
In this album, Earth,Wind & fire Horns at that time participated !

Don Myrick/ Tenor Sax
Louis Satterfield/ Trombone
Ramlee Micheal Davis & Micheal Harris/ Trumpets

They joind in 3 songs.
Track 3,6,7,9,11,12

My fovorite number is "Hand in Hand ”.
Instrumental tune that reminds me of Urban Knights of Ramsey Lewis & Maurice White.

Brazillian drums and funky melody got my soul.
Eric Clapton and Alphonso Johnson aiso participated in this album.

1. In the Air Tonight
2. This Must Be Love
3. Behind the Lines
4. Roof Is Leaking
5. Droned
6. Hand in Hand
7. I Missed Again
8. You Know What I Mean
9. Thunder and Lightning
10. I'm Not Moving
11. If Leaving Me Is Easy
12. Tomorrow Never Knows

Al McKay All Stars / Al dente

★  Al dente/Al McKay All Stars (2001)




Will not there be many people who give the name of this person when you say a guitarist of Earth,Wind & Fire?

This is the mighty album including his original and famous tunes of EWF!

The music of EWF increases new rhythm and becomes the fresh finish, and the music that the original is so good to listen to.
A vocal of Ali Woodson is attractive, too.

  1. Getaway    
  2. Evil 
  3. Make It Happen     
  4. It's Only Love   
  5. Love's Holiday 
  6. Who Am I?    
  7. My heart Is Wide Open    
  8. You Owe It All To Love
  9. Singasong     
10. Fantasy      
11. September 

Rhamlee Micheal Davis joined in 2 songs.


Probably it is "LA.ALL STARS. to have become the forerunner of this band .

... That I think that it is constituted AL MaKAY as leader with members , VERDINE WHITE,FRED WHITE, RALPH JOHNSON,ANDREW WOLFORK,PHNIX HORNS.

I think that this band have wanted to release the CD!
