TEN CITY THATS THE WAY LOVE IS


The Chicago vocal group Ten City was one of the few house units to enjoy mainstream exposure during the late '80s and early '90s. Originally called Ragtyme, the trio was formed by vocalist Byron Stingily, guitarist Herb Lawson, and keyboard player Byron Burke, all under the aegis of producer extraordinaire Marshall Jefferson. After signing with Atlantic in the late '80s, Ten City's debut LP, Foundation, included the singles "Right Back to You" and "That's the Way Love Is," both of which received a good response in R&B and dance circles. Stingily went on to a solo career.

FARLEY 'JACKMASTER' FUNK LOVE CAN'T TURN AROUND


Farley created his first house music productions in 1984. His roommate at the time, Steve 'Jack Master Silk' Hurley, had produced a cover of "I Can't Turn Around" by Isaac Hayes, which sold well in the Chicago area. Before Hurley could arrange to have the record licensed for overseas distribution, Farley managed to attach his own name to a European release of a very slightly altered version of Hurley's track. The new version, "Love Can't Turn Around" by Farley Jackmaster Funk (vocals by Darryl Pandy), which charted highly in Britain, reaching number 10 in 1986

GINO LATINO WELCOME

This is produced by another group of very Italian sounding names (Jovanotti, Cecchetto,Cersosimo) although released on the New York based Harbour Light label. I guess the vocals to this say it all "House music all night long". This tune has a quite unique feel to it, electro house cross over? anyhow a great Italo House track from the late 80's, always played and always loved.

SMITH & MIGHTY ANYONE

A bit to laid back for their own good to have gained any credible success or recognition on a national platform in the late 80’s/early 90’s, (it took them 7 years from the date of their first release in 1988 to 1995 when they released their debut LP, Bass is Maternal)Smith & Mighty still command significant respect amongst the more discerning music aficionados. This track was a favourite of mine payed most nights at a Nightclub in Stafford UK. It has been fifteen years since the release of their first single "Anyone". One and a half decades later, the Bristol based duo can proudly look back at their oeuvre.

He split from the group in 83′ and released this Larry Levan mixed monster. Sampled on countless house records.
