*How Do You Say::Eivets Rednow*

One of my first Stevie Wonder records that I got was Eivets Rednow. I scored this in Franklin County, Ohio at a 7-11 that happen to have a records for sale bin. The thing about it is that I had no idea it was Stevie's album until I read the credits. Considering his name is spelled backwards on the sleeve I was rather surprised that this was my score.
When I was djing at Bob's Salon in LES, NYC the security guys girlfriend was in disbelief that I owned this records apparently it was a childhood favorite of her's.

Wikipedia says: Eivets Rednow (prominently featuring "Alfie" by Burt Bacharach and Hal David) is a 1968 instrumental album released by Stevie Wonder under the pseudonym Eivets Rednow on the Gordy (Motown) label.

**Smokey Is Big Time**

I've always been a fan of Smokey Robinson, in this instance I was stoked when I scored this record years ago. It's the soundtrack for a movie called "Big Time" on Tamia records in 1977.

*Mark The 45 King Turns The Party Out*

If you're a party go-er/Dj/NYC resident then you know about the great "The 45 King".His biggest record to date is Jay-Z's Hard Knock Life, which to me is mediocre compared to his track record of goodness stemming for the 80's on.
My favorite records he produced were a bunch of singles/Lp cuts he made for The Native Tongues collective, folks like Jungle Bros, Tribe Called Quest, ect..
This record came out in 1988 on Tuff City Records, which I believe is now defunkt. Vocals by M.C. La Kim. It includes the original edit of "The 900 Number"
This cut is called "Turn The Party Out"

*This Is As Close As It'll Get To Summer's Heat*

Bill Summers is just one of the guys that rolls with the times. Judging from the span of his recordings I would have to say that he's a well rounded versitle musician. Sounds that ranges from mid-70's funk & soul to disco early 80's R&B..never the less this song kicks ass!!

Things People Like:::Sea, Sex & Sun::

Of course we all know what hot & foxy is within our pulsating libidos. Internationally renowned Frenchman Serge Gainsbourg always had his finger on the magic button that stirs up those impulses, par example the 1978 song Sea, Sex & Sun. There's always been a certain feeling that he brought to the table via his sophisticate trippy sound. This particular selection has a bit of an Italo twist without losing the feel of the sand between your toes on the French Riviera. Here's the English version...
