James Knight & The Butlers- Black Knight (1971)


Good ol' Miami Soul. When listening to this you may think you're listening to the likes of Baby Huey mixed with a little Chuck Berry. Probably one of the most expensive LP's you would buy if you racked up the $500 to get an original copy, so get it while its hot!!

Cameo- Cameosis (1980)


Now that you got a taste of Larry's Production, you can catch his group in their essence in this 1980 release. Definitely my favorite release from them besides Secret Omen and Word Up!

L.A. Connection- Now Appearing (1982)


A groovy Funk/Disco album from the early 80's that could definitely pass as a album from the 70's. With production exclusively from Larry Blackmon (Leader of the renowned Cameo), It's destined to give you a good time in the studio/dance floor. Dig It!!

Rosaline Joyce- Lovers Soul (1987)


A 1980's street soul classic, one of my favorites from that time. Rosaline was signed to the UK Jam Today but her career was cut short with legal issues with the label. There is very little information about her on the web, but unfortunately i recall reading that she passed away recently. Dig It!!--Forgot to add that this record was produced by Master T.

Ultimate Breaks & Beats- Vol. 11 (1987)


Definitely my favorite release from this series, I could DJ this record alone for hours. It has the more 'Essential' breaks on this one, and my favorite tune of all time LOVE'S THEME. You Know exactly what that DJ is thinking when you hear that jam on the radio. Feel the love and boogie to this.

Man Parrish- Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don't Stop) (1982)


This 45 right here.... Just makes you wanna get the hell up and dance! The funk was definitely pouring through the walls with this one.... I even felt like doing the electric boogie, hell my neighbors probably did too. One of my favorite works in Hip-Hop, it definitely puts a smile on your face and makes you think about the time when people weren't tired of electronic sounds. Oh how time has changed.
