Now playing some sweet Soul, R&B and Funk

Mr. Autotune feat. Mr. Talkbox. Love the keys and drums at the end.

Any Roger Troutman (RIP) fans here ?

The Queen. Pioneered the Neo Soul sound.

But the single mix… well. Anchored to a sample of a shrieking chimp, remixed by the scorching songwriting-production pair Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, this “Monkey” never gets off your back; it’s addled as hell. Jam & Lewis coaxed every aural possibility out of Michael’s version: bass runs, thundering programmed drums. And that was the abridged single version: The full eight-minute Jam & Lewis extended mix, included in the re-mastered two-disc Faith, opens with the chimp, a synth playing a variation on Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit” hook and samples from the other Faith singles, and climaxes with a distorted Michael ordering “SOME SNARE.” Listening to this version is like sleeping while the city’s being nuked. Guilty feet got rhythm, turns out.

My goodness. This track is an almost perfect example of Rhythm and Blues (how I like it anyway hehe).

I’m putting together my personal fav Top 10 list of R&B/Soul/Funk releases of 2017, just for fun (nothing serious).

This album is in there.

A really sad song that has the most awesome choreography.

The very definition of Rhythm & Blues :grin: :man_dancing:

My goodness. If this is not an all star cast, I don’t know what is.

Just reading the album credits gives me tingles and that’s before I even press PLAY :grin:

Before roon I used to have a Rod Temperton playlist and a best of Quincy as well. Took hours to compile. Now it’s just a few clicks away. Love what roon have done for my music consumption!

Hehe. I was naughty and forgot to include the incredible Bruce Swedien in the album credits…

Apologies to Bruce if he’s reading this lol

Didn’t have a Bruce Swedien list. Did sort of come packaged in the Quincy list. :smiley:
