Chic: Think Of You (Parts 1 & 2) LNTG Rework

Late Nite Tuff Guy reworks Chic's "I Want Your Love" into "Think Of You". The guitar, the strings, the voices and the wonderful reworking - it's all too much for me!

The Theory of Evolution... Chic: My Forbidden Lover / Luther Vandross: Shine

So let's journey through time and watch Darwin's Theory of evolution at work...

First of all Chic release the fabulous "My Forbidden Lover" in 1979...

 

Then early Chic singer Luther Vandross samples "My Forbidden Lover" for his lovely 2007 track "Shine"...

This in turn gets the remix treatment at the hands of The Freemasons...

Then shortly after this UK dance group Booty Luv released their version of "Shine' sounding more like the Freemason's remix than the original Luther version...

The descendent now in no way resembles the ancestor...

Oh and btw...

Change: The Glow of Love ft. Luther Vandross / Janet Jackson: All For You

Change released The Glow Of Love album in 1980 and it featured the title track sung by Luther Vandross who at that time hadn't yet secured a solo recording contract. I love it for that wonderful Chic-esque intro which was heavily sampled onto Janet Jackson's "All For You" which I've also posted below.

Sister Sledge: Thinking Of You

"Thinking of You" by Sister Sledge is one of my favourite Nile Rodgers / Bernard Edwards productions. I love the sultry vocal, the Summer vibe, and of course that wonderful trademark guitar intro.

LNTG: Boy U Turn Me (Diana Ross: Upside Down) Edit

I just bought tickets to go and see one of my musical heroes in London this Summer - Nile Rodgers and Chic. So for my first post and to celebrate my tickets purchase, lets go a little Nile crazy...

First up is the LNTG remix of the Diana Ross classic "Upside Down". I love what LNTG has done to the original version. I've been playing this non-stop for months now.
