Awakening

Awakening / The Pharaohs(1972)


The Pharaohs is The Pharaohs. is the Jazz Soul Funk group formed in 1962

It is the group known some members existed  before joining Earth,Wind & Fire

Louis Satterfield and Don Myrick were in!


I expected to listen to  EWF-like funky sound,

but I had the impression that folk music was near with first several pieces.

It is important for the instrumental music,  how stronger  shook the soul of the listener.
It sounded to my ear  like folk music at first time.

 While I listened several times, I noticed that it had mysterious power .

Even if the origin in the big meaning is the same as EWF,
 the brunch seems to be at the different position.


① Damballa
② ibo
③ Tracks Of My Tears
④ Black Enuff
⑤ Somebody's Been Sleeping
⑥ Freedom
⑦ Great House

Body Guard

Body Guard (1992)



I spent dreamy time with members of Earth,Wind &Fire at the back stage of the Japan tour .

I had chance to talk with  vocalist, B David Whitworth at  this time.


I told him that I collected albums these members  participated and had them ,he told me.

He  had participated in a song of C+C Music Factory by the back vocal before. ...

... the hip hop project which caused a boom by "Everybody Dance now" !


I have also liked them very much and have also gone to their  live before!


" What's the tittle of the album?"

 " I don't remember"

  The song title was informed from David, and  it's taken notes but I lost the memo.


Coz It was probably the simple title ,I thougut that my eyes could recall a song name,.

Check  all albums of C + C out from CD shelfs !

But  couldn't found...

After  2 days search of internet, I finally got the answer!

Wow,

I had it!

I had the album featuring a voice of B David Whitworth!


S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M.,

It wasn't the C+C Music Factory !

C+C Music Factory stood for 2 persons.

David Cole and Robert Clivilles .

They always made songs featuring many talented artists.

Originally,This song, "Lovely Day" was written and performed by Bill Withers /

But this version has different faces.

So Cool and Hot!



Main leading vocal was  by  Rapper,Michelle Visage,

but  a part of chorus, B David Whitworth did performe at rrthe center .
