FUNKY-SOUL-VINYLS CLASSIC SOUL AND FUNK ALBUMS OF THE 60's 70's and 80's # 17

In this Series of Posts, I will writing about a Particular Classic Soul/Funk Album from the 60's 70's and 80's

The one's that stand out in my Mind, as The Best Soul/Funk/Jazz/R&B Albums ever Released. All of them, I purchased on Vinyl many Years ago and also now have them on CD or Digital Download today.

You may have a Differing view (as we all do) on these Choices, but these are my Favorites!

Number 17.......DAYTON.......FEEL THE MUSIC

Dayton Released their 4th Out Of 5 Career Albums on the Capitol Record label in 1983, it was called "Feel the Music"


It was Produced by Rahni Harris apart from Track 5 which was Produced by Roger Troutman, incidentally all the Troutman Brothers appeared on the Track!


Only One Track made the US R&B Charts, that was "It Must Be Love" which reached Number 54!

My Favorite Track on the Album is "Promise Me" I've Played this Track more than the Rest put Together!


Another Great Track on the Album was "Sound Of Music" which was Very Popular on the UK Dance Scene.


Not Forgetting the Zapp Produced Track "Love You Anyway"


The Track's I liked the Least are "Eyes" its a Sort of Rock Track, and the Reggae Sounding "Looking Up"


The Track Listing:

01. Sound of Music
02. It Must Be Love
03. Out Tonight
04. So What
05. Love You Anyway
06. Caught in the Middle
07. Eyes
08. Promise Me
09. Lookin' Up 

As with all their Releases, Dayton Changed quite a lot of their Personnel with this Album, Originally the band were formed by a Couple of Members from the Band "Sun"

BANDS AND SINGERS I HAVE SEEN IN CONCERT!!!!!! part 3

A couple of things concerning the Groups I have seen in concert, probably the Worse Group I saw was The Dazz Band, they played like a Rock Band! you would have never of guessed they were a Funk/Soul Band to hear how they played!

One thing that did happen during this Concert what I always remembered, I was taken short and needed the Toilet, so my Wife stood waiting outside, when I was followed into the Toilet by this Black Chap, my Wife said she was worried about what was going to happen! was I about to get my head kicked in!

As it turned out, the Chap was Wayne Foote of Slave , he sung Lead and Backing Vocals on 2 of Slave's Album's in '83 and '84, the Bad Enuff (Wayne Foote, 3rd on the left) and New Plateau albums.

I had worn my Slave T-Shirt at the Dazz Band Concert and he had seen it and came over just to say hello, he as I remember was a nice chap and he talked for a few minutes about Slave and the Dazz Band, he also signed a book I had, and he also agreed about The Dazz Band being to Rocky!

I wonder what happened to Wayne Foote, I have looked on Web, but not much info!

BANDS & SINGERS I HAVE SEEN IN CONCERT!!!!! part 2

Some of the other Acts I have seen in concert over the years, I see my Favorite Band "Slave" about 25 years ago at a place called "The Pink Elephant" in Luton uk.

Steve Arrington had left them by this time, but they still put on a Great Show!

The picture above was taken by somebody I know at the Hammersmith Odeon Concert in London a few days later!

A few other Acts I have seen are "Change" Kleeer "Steve Arrington" Level 42 "Gil Scott Heron"Dante "Mtume" Brass Construction "Dazz Band" Alexander O'neal " Cherrelle" Michael Jackson"

Of these I would say the Best Concert was Brass Construction, before the Concert I actually met all the Band members including Randy Muller, I also have a signed Program from all the members.

I also thought Kleeer, level 42 and Mtume were Great! but these are among my Favorite Soul Bands, so perhaps thats why I liked them more!

GSH was alright, allthough he did start knocking "White People" during his show, as my Wife clearly remembered and always reminds of!

Steve Arrington was Good, although he never did any of the "Hall of Fame" stuff!

The Micheal Jackson Concert was the "Bad Tour" the one that Princess Diana attended!
I would not probably have seen "Jacko" but I used to have a Shop in them days, and I used to sell "Pepsi" and entered a Competition with them and Won!
2 tickets to see Jacko, so I went with my Wife, who does like "MJ"
It was a Good concert, but not really my "cup of tea" Susan thought he was Great!

Alexander O'neal was Alright, but I have recently seen him in a different light, through the English Television Show "Wife Swap" please watch this program, its in 5 parts!, you will see what I mean!

As for the "Dazz Band" please come back in the Future and read " Part 3" of this Blog entry!
