For a Young Marlena Shaw Lover

Posted about 4 years ago
A while ago, LLCodyB made this post with Marlena Shaw's version of ??California Soul??, and Lester Jonze was good enough to add ??Woman Of The Ghetto??. Now, while I was playing them, my son was around...(here he is at the age of 2...)He was particularly impressed in MS's "gegegegengegeng" styles. So to keep my boy happy, I dug up this dance hit from 96 or 97 which includes prominent samples of the two Marlena Shaw tunes mentioned. Needless to say, the boy is very happy with it... and "gengegegegegengeng"-ing away.

    mickimicki says He, he, he... ??Scattered Emotions ep??, Guidance Records, with a kitty-kat on the label... as it happens i was lucky and _also_ got it... I happened to be in the record store when the owner unpacked it... Great minds think alike! Tell me whether your nephew likes the genga-genga. Jennifer, hugs to you! Don't worry... "yesterday I was standing before an abyss, today I've gone a step further" (No, that's a stupid German joke... I'm bad but stable...)
