Retro Thursday With Sweetback & Wax Poetics

Photobucket

So we'll take a break from the present day and go through the time portal for a second, Each week the team will bring you something that you may have missed or never knew existed. From videos to actual songs that never really got the shine they deserved, in the meantime enjoy the selections we're providing and put on the Headphones from Middle School where you had to raise your hand if you heard the beep!!!!





Wow!!! we had to dig through the crates for this one, and this was well worth the hunt. Besides being one of our favorite songs of all time, no one can argue how beautiful this selection was from
Amel Larriuex & Sweetback. This is a groove that could be a hit on the charts now, not bad for Sade's former band whose classic debut album is still in heavy rotation amongst true fans.



Sometimes we all have a few tunes that slip our minds and a recent email made us have one of those moments!!! some are not familiar with Wax Poetics and there hit "Angels" with lead vocals from Norah Jones (Yes thee Norah Jones folks) many may not know that this was her very first group before she broke off and made Nyquil Music (excuse us we mean no harm) to the masses. A slept on selection from a decent album.
