Comment:

Hope that some of you have been waiting for this one... My mixes of "Colored in the Key of G & B" have been warm ups for this one. A recent favorite of mine off this mix is track 18 (even if it didn't do well on either the pop or R&B cha_rts). The length of this mix is 56m17s.
The image is of course Little Rich_ard.

There must be something in the air! Love the stretch from The Brothers Johnson to Little Rich@rd. Very nice. Can't wait to listen. This is funky indeed!

Well, I have had a similar mix in the works for some time now, but I am definitely putting it on hold for a bit after seeing this set of master works.
