Richards Dimples Fields — Your Wife Is Cheatin’ On Us (1984)

June 23rd, 2009

dimples1

Friend of mine once said to me that this song resem­bles Michael Jack­son a lot. I instantly real­ized that this is it: a poor man’s Michael Jack­son. Not quite as good as Baby Be Mine but still very good elec­tro­funk of the 80s. The track is typ­i­cal to Dim­ples Fields: he sings with his soft-toned voice about his lovelife; in this case, about wife who is cheat­ing on us.

Richard ‘Dim­ples’ Fields got his nick from a girl who observed him smil­ing a lot (not to be con­fused with Dim­ples D).

I believe this could almost be desribed as “fish­net funk”, a style of funk music from late 80’s & early 90s. You know, this kind.

Richard Fields died in 2000 at the age of 58.

Al Green – Everything’s Gonna Be Alright (1987)

Al Green — Everything’s Gonna Be Alright (4:24) (320 kbps, 10,1 MB)

Soul? Gospel? Boo­gie? Electro-Funk? Song’s from the album Soul Sur­vivor. At this point of his career Al Green was mak­ing gospel tunes and had become an ordained pas­tor of the Full Gospel Taber­na­cle in Mem­phis in 1976. Thereby this would prob­a­bly be regarded as — gasp — gospel. Gospel with drum machine and synths. Oh, and there’s also a music video.
