Luther Vandross: Never Too Much (Scratchandsniffs Extended Re-dub)

Bright blue skies, sunshine and a voice to melt your ice cream!

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.
