River Of The Dreams

River Of The Dreams / Billy Joel　（1998）
                                                  feat. B David Whitworth




Big Rock singer ,also a pianist and composer from State of New York South Bronx,.
His name is to the extent there isn't a person who doesn't know ,I suppose.

He got glory of a superstar in his hands since Stranger in 1977.

But I heard that album of studio recording wasn't released at all because Billy Joel placed a live in his center.

This his the 12th album got the top in Billboard.
His wild vocal and a delicate melody are touching our hearts damply.

B David Whitworth participated in this album with the back vocal!
It's more than one vocal work, so it isn't possible to be satisfied with his voice,
but I'm happy that his voice can be heard in such popular album.

LALALA

LALALA　/ Miriya Kato (2007)


Every time I search about Maurice White on AMAZON, I find in the upper ,
single CD of Japanese female artist Miliya Kato.


But I've never heard of attendance of Maurice to that CD!
Anyway, I orderd this!

I found the name of Maurice White as the author of FUTURECHECKA featured in this CD .
FUTURECHECKA used the sample of "Brazilian Rhyme" of Earth, Wind & Fire.

It was very suited to that melody.
I like it!

Long Fore-Play

Long Fore-Play / Yoko Blackstone (1998)



LONG FORE-PLAY

I listened this Cd after a long time during the driving to my homutown of Kanazawa in this summer vacation.

This is a mini album of Yoko Blackstone with 5songs.

Though she is a Japanese singer, it sounds like Amerikan soul music with cool and numb taste!

"Fantasy" of Earth,Wind& Fire was coverd in this album!

So cool version with simple arrangement and  chorus.

It stands near the street of New York , I felt.
That sounds like the way of Robert Brookins.

I really love this version!
I want youm fan EWF fan ,to listen to this tune....


1. Private Party
2. Nobody Else
3. No Need 2 Worry Part2
4. LONG FORE-PLAY
