Not only did these tunes supply the beats for many of the classic rap tunes of the 1990's, they are also fantastic in their own right. Check the break out at 2.19..

Tweet - Turn Da Lights Off
The beat on this one is awesome. Just wish Missy would turn her mouth off. Sadly she doesn't.

Donald Byrd Think Twice
More brilliance from Donald Byrd. Sampled on a house track (4.46) and by various other hip hop artists..
Donald Byrd Wind Parade 1975
Did these 1970's soul legends really realise just what they were creating? Donald Byrd with yet another killer track. Sampled by Black Moon and Tupac. Real music.

Soul Inspired - Soul Night In Manchester UK
Soul music - in Manchester? The legendary soul control sound system are back! The amplifiers are being dusted down as we speak! Real soul music hits Manchester this weekend. Streetsoul/rnb/classic 80's grooves will be the order of the day here, or night! The last time I heard Mike Stephens play he was on FIRE! If you like the tunes on this blog and complain there's nowhere to go - this is for you. The survival of nights like this relies on people like you to make an appearance! Get yourself down there, I'm sure this is gonna be something special.
