[ record of the day ]
FIRE FOX / FIRE / 1985

Hot on the heels of the success of the Breakin’ movie franchise, drummer/producer/songwriter extraordinaire Ollie Brown churned out this boogie nugget (and album) for Fire Fox which consisted of Toi Overton and Paulette McWilliams (a legendary artist in her own right whom, amongst other things, was the original female vocalist of Rufus before bringing in Chaka Khan upon her departure).

Featured prominently on and in the Breakin’ soundtracks and movie (they’re singing for their lives about the Radiotron in Breakin 2’: Electric Boogaloo), things looked fairly promising for the duo when their one album was released in ‘85 featuring a who’s who of some of the brightest in R&B AND Funk at the time. While it didn’t quite yield the hit results, it wasn’t a slouch as the uptempo tracks are still fun and pretty popular with boogie funk record collectors and aficionados.

I had ONE GOAL! And that was to put my baby in a pumpkin. Nya did NOT like this plan. 😂 Tried to eat her way out of it! Maybe next year we will get a smile…😋 Still a cutie pumpkin! I can’t believe Halloween came and went. October was NON-STOP but thankful for all of the fun moments with family and friends. More fun posts to come! 😅

Scroll to the last pic to see the REALITY of trying to get cute photos of your kids at a pumpkin patch.

For those who really know me already know what the Jacksons mean to me as an artist myself who comes from a famous music family and of course, as a celebrated noted Jackson historian as well as being friends with a few of Jacksons themselves

So you can imagine how felt when I got hired to do this mega dope industrial gig for the Discovery channel and who was in the building in RIGHT in our dressing room ?!!

LATOYA JACKSON 🤯🤯🤯🤯

she was in the building because her reality tv show “Starting Over” was part of the Discovery channel new line-up

sooo super sweet and gorgeous as I imagine her to be after all those years of watching her on tv doing interviews

and you better believe I FINALLY had the chance to tell her how much I LOOOOVED her first 2 albums especially with her classics “If You Feel The Funk”, “Night Time Lover (Written By Her King Of Pop Baby Bro) and “My Special Love” and the fact that my favorite album of hers “Latoya” was mostly produced by my Brooklyn mentors Full Force and even the later albums that she did....plus the fact the majority of her first 2 albums were produced by not only her brothers but some of the musicians who influenced me like Ollie E Brown known for his prolific work with my iconic “Uncle” Ray Parker Jr in his band Raydio and later as half of the duo Ollie & Jerry known for their hit “There’s No Stopping Us” from the movie “Breakin”...Even the great Billy Ocean wrote a couple of songs on these albums before he finally EXPLODED a few years later with “Carribean Queen” and his mega classic “Suddenly” album

And she really got excited when I told her that I LOOOOVE her version of my #1 idol Prince “Private Joy”

So she says to me in that trademark soft spoken Jackson tone: “Wowwwwwww !!! You really are a true fan that knows our history ! We MUST take a picture”

Which is why I say F*** these critics and naysayers…
SHE’S BEEN THAT GIRL AND STILL IS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ICONIC LATOYA JACKSON
Thank You For Your Service And Influence In This Business

Burton Cummings' 2nd studio album - My Own Way to Rock!!
Original 1977 copy

The Guess Who Series (11/15) 🇨🇦

"The follow-up album continued the mission statement of establishing Cummings as a vital solo act. Support is provided by the expected team of LA session musicians: bassist Ian Gardiner, Jeff Porcaro, Lenny Castro, & none other than Randy Bachman himself, rejoining his 1-time bandmate. Richard Perry returned to the producer's chair for the album.

The album features 6 original songs among the 9 tracks, kicking off with the rocking "Never Had a Lady Before." A non-album Bob Seger composition, "Come On By," with Bachman on guitar, would seem to indicate a softening of the friction between Randy's Morman beliefs & the wilder touring lifestyle of Burton. The song is a paean to post-show partying with groupies, & incredibly, it is even Bachman who shouts the line "We'll get high!"

An album highlight, "Timeless Love" boasts flawless vocal support from the team of Bobby King, Terry Evans, & E.L. King, whose wonderful contribution cannot be overstated.

The album reached No.4 in Canada & 51 in the US. Biggest single was "My Own Way to Rock," which hit No.38 in Canada & No.74 in the US.

Nothing like running into your iconic “Uncle” whom I’m proud to annouce that I am working together with my idol AGAIN thanks to the one and only Ray Chew. The first time was at his house on @nikkole.music’s masterpiece album courtesy of my other uncle/mentor the great LEON SYLVERS so yeah…..THE PLATINUM RESUME GETS THICKER AND SICKER

Yeah its still surreal for me considering all the years as a kid I spent studying his solo and Raydio albums as well as the other albums he was featured playing on reading the liner notes of Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Cheryl Lynn, albums and seeing my guitar/producer hero’s name praying one day that I would meet him and rock with him

just goes to show you that dreams don’t have deadlines and yeah….MY SPOT IS FOREVER RESERVED IN THIS BIZ

And as I often have to remind some folks that DON’T know the history…HE WAS THAT DUDE WAYYYYYY BEFORE “Ghostbusters” AND STILL IS !!!!

Guitar Slingers Back Together Again
Ladies & Gentlemen….
L*A*W And The Great RAY PARKER JR !!!!

Love You Uncle
And THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
