Jermaine Jackson
Michael applied himself better than I did at school. His thirst for knowledge was far greater than any of the rest of us. He was that curious kid who asked, ‘Why? Why? Why?’ and he listened to and logged every detail. I’m sure his head had an in-built recording chip for data, facts, figures, lyrics and dance moves.

Save Your Fork, There’s Pie
It’s a chilly autumn morning and the clouds are hanging low
I’ve got my morning coffee, but my engine’s running slow
Heading north on 23, with a long, long way to drive
The thought of her home cooking, well, it keeps my soul alive
And I can hear her sayin’ with a twinkle in her eye
Enjoy this meal before you girl, now save your fork, there’s pie

France Joli: Witch of Love

George Duke
She wanted to enter a song in a contest that Yamaha was holding in Japan and we didn’t have time to develop a new song and make the required entry deadline. I suggested “Party Lights” because the track was basically finished and all she had to do was sing the song and bring it to life. She liked the song, re-sang the lead vocal and we remixed it, entered it into the contest and won.

Beau Williams Album: Bodacious! (1984) Dark and Lonely Nights

by musician on August 12, 2017

Beau Williams Album Bodacious

Artist: Beau Williams
Released: 1984
Label: Capitol Records
Genre: Funk, Soul
Produced by Alan Abrahams
Album Recorded at Producers Workshop and Capitol Records (Hollywood, California)

About Beau Williams

Beau Williams was raised on Gospel music in Houston, Texas. As a teenager, he regularly appeared on a local live television show and had a regional hit record.

In 1984 he competed as a male vocalist on Star Search and defeated thirteen-week champion Sam Harris. During this time he recorded several albums for Capitol Records: a self-titled album in 1982, Stay With Me (1983), Bodacious! (1984), and No More Tears (1986).

Following his association with Capitol, Beau Williams signed with Light Records and returned to his roots in Gospel music. His album Wonderful (1989) debuted at the number nine spot on Billboard’s chart, landed at two, and stayed in the top ten family for 58 weeks. The album earned a Dove Award for “Song of the Year,” as well as Grammy, Stellar, and James Cleveland Award nominations.

Beau Williams is one of the most sought after National Anthem singers in the United States. The Los Angeles Lakers relied on his powerful vocal skills for six years. He’s also performed for the Texas Rangers (MLB), Dallas Cowboys (NFL), and Houston Rockets (NBA).

Beau Williams
The label and management booked me on ‘Star Search’ in early 1984. My job was simple–out-sing the reigning male vocal champ, Sam Harris. Simple, indeed. Sam went on, sang his song, took a bow. Then I came on, sang ‘A Song for You’ and boom! I won the vote.

Sergio Mendes Brasil 88

by musician on August 10, 2017

Sergio Mendes

Sergio Mendes is the most internationally recognized Brazilian artist of all time. Working tirelessly as a keyboardist, vocalist, composer, and producer, the talented musician rose in popularity during the sixties Bossa Nova era. His phenomenal success has endured for more than five decades, including performances for Kings and heads of state all over the world.

With more than 55 releases to his credit, Sergio Mendes has performed non-stop since his career was launched in 1961. He continues to create a unique blend of Bossa Nova, jazz, and funk, often collaborating and sharing the spotlight with other musical artists.

Getz/Gilberto (1963)
The first Bossa Nova single to achieve international popularity was perhaps the most successful of all time, ‘The Girl From Ipanema.’ The resulting fad was not unlike the disco craze of the 1970s.
