1. Alan Hawkshaw – Move Move Move

“One of the most colourful and varied acts we have had the pleasure of working with – great!”

— Bill Wyman

Negli anni ’70 ha suonato in The Shadows; ha lavorato per Olivia Newton-John, Jane Birkin e Serge Gainsbourg come direttore musicale, arrangiatore e pianista ed è stato tastierista per Cliff Richard, per il quale ha anche co-sceneggiato (con Douggie Wright) “The Days of Love”, uno dei sei brani selezionati che Richard ha suonato in A Song per l’Europa quell’anno. Ha anche suonato le tastiere nel doppio album di Donna Summer del 1977, Once Upon A Time.

2. Isley Brothers – It’s Your Thing

“It’s Your Thing” è un singolo funk di The Isley Brothers. Rilasciato nel 1969, l’inno funk fu una risposta artistica al capo impegnato da Motown Berry Gordy sui suoi artisti dopo che gli Isleys lasciarono l’etichetta alla fine del 1968.

I testi del coro, che servono anche come primo verso, corrono: “È la tua cosa / fai ciò che vuoi / non posso dirti / a chi calpestarla”. La canzone è classificata n. 420 nella lista della rivista Rolling Stone dei 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

3. Sly stone – Crossword puzzle

“Crossword Puzzle” è un brano super-funky di Sly Stone che non ha avuto molto spettacolo quando è stato rilasciato nel 1975. Il brano è tratto dall’album High on You, sottovalutato da Sly, che è il primo album attribuito a Sly Pietre piuttosto che Sly e la pietra di famiglia. Sly ha scritto, prodotto e arrangiato la canzone, oltre a suonare la chitarra e le tastiere.

L’agile lavoro di basso di Bobby Vega mantiene le cose belle e funky, e Little Sister offre alcune voci vocali di sottofondo. Nei testi della canzone, Sly presenta le sue acute osservazioni sociali nella sua inimitabile moda hip-poeta.

All’incirca nel tempo in cui è uscito High on You, la maggior parte dei membri originali di Family Stone aveva lasciato la band, e l’album è essenzialmente un tentativo solista di Sly. Tuttavia, alcuni dei membri originali della band hanno fatto apparizioni nell’album. Il fratello di Sly, Freddie (un membro originale di Family Stone) suonava la chitarra e forniva voce su alcuni brani. E i componenti della band originale Cynthia Robinson (Trumpet) e Jerry Martini (Saxophone) hanno suonato sulla maggior parte delle tracce. Sly ha anche arruolato alcuni musicisti di sessione per suonare nell’album e aggiunte più recenti al Family Stone, come il bassista Rustee Allen, che ha sostituito Larry Graham dopo la sua partenza dalla band nel 1972.

Talking to the hippies and the Watergate hiders
Talking to the people getting down at the go-go

Any kind of whistle and blow!
Sock it to your biscuit, now blow!
