The Carnival

The Carnival / Wyclef Jean (1997)



I found this CD by the result I did net retrieval of by a word and phrase of Earth,Wind & Fire.

Because EWF participated in his album "The Ecleftic -2 Sides II A Book", I also expected it this album.

But voice or performance of Earth,Wind & Fire didn't appear.

" A song called To All The Girls" is using a backing phrase of "Sunshine" of EWF.

Rap jumps in good on this striking rhythm.
In Cool and Hot Rap tune.

The cheerful contents makes us listen the melodies matched with our ears besides this song .
Wyclef Jean has added new essence to a famous tune in the past.

This album filled in diversity very much.

Modern Drummer August'90



An interview of Sonny Emory appears on the drum magazine which represents the world "Modern Drummer" and a cover of August in 90 !
Sonny Emory did the gig with various big artists. Even if I'm not a drum fan, such inside story is dragged.
These episodes attracted and interested me so much!
The episode when he speaked by telephone at first time with Philip Bailey and David Samborn.
The episode when he took a tour of Earth,Wind & Fire
I suppose that EWF fan would like to check this article .

The Lady Killer

The Lady Killer / Cee-Lo Green (2010)



Philip Bailey did participate in the album of Cee-Lo Green .
Cee-Lo Green is American singer , rapper, songwritter.

I didn't know his name.
Songs of this album was indeed melodious though I expected that hard rap was
unfolded.
"I have license to kill" dialogue of 007 is quoted and it was humorous ...

Nostalgic funk sound feeling in the 90's unexpectedly at the center ･･･

Well, it is a wonderful number of slow "Fool For You"
that our Philp Bailey participated with vocal.

However, it was regrettable for the fan that the volume of his voice was restrained.

Sweet love song !
