"The Three Degrees When Will I See You Again [----] Soul Purrfection Version Upon repeated listenings I have come to the conclusion that this song pays tribute to "WIll You Still Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles. By echoing the vibe the wonderful tradition of the girl groups continues even to today. The Three Degrees had been recording for years before they supplied the sparse vocals for "TSOP" a #1 pop hit from the house band at Sigma Studios known as MFSB. Before they joined the Gamble & Huff stable of artists three women Linda Turner Shirley Porter and Fayette Pinkney got together in 1964"

"The Blackbyrds Walking In Rhythm [----] Disco Purrfection Version Today's remix of the day This comes from a mountain of requests over the years sorry it took so long but I just figured out how to do this. I think you will be surprised how disco-ey this got when I made it longer. Byrd truly came into his own as a jazz fusion artist when he hooked up with producer brothers Larry and Fonce Mizell. Their first collaboration was 1972's "Black Byrd" an upbeat funky blend of jazz and R&B. Jazz critics savaged the album but the record was a smash hit becoming the biggest seller in Blue Note history"
