A lovely haunting tune from the original metallers taken from the amazing Master Of Reality LP. Just shows that there was more to Ozzy and crew than the heavy, in your face numbers. Hardly an unknown tune but might be new to some of you…

Massive amount of funk in this one. Been sampled several times on lots of tracks but here’s the original for you to get your groove on to. Love it…

I just stumbled across these. Some great videos on YouTube showing all the original samples from a load of dance classics. I knew quite a few of these sources already but there are loads here that I’ve never heard before. Check them out…
Eric B & Rakim – Paid In Full (Coldcut’s 7 Minutes Of Madness Mix)
Dee Lite – Groove Is In The Heart
Bomb The Bass – Beat Dis
There are loads more, check out DJ Prince’s channel on YouTube for the rest

A tune that’s been sampled and re-recorded many times but nothing beats the original (I think this was the first one!). I expect a fair few people will recognise this but might not know the name – Foxy Brown & Jay-Z did a hip hop version in the late 90s which wasn’t far off this one, beats-wise.
A total 80s soul classic, I could dance to this stuff all night long. Love it

Alexander is one of my favourite r&b/soul singers. The man can sing his heart out and has a super distinctive voice that always sounds totally wicked. In the 80s he was a big, big deal selling out arenas all over the shop and rightly so, his hits from back there were absolutely top.
He usually rocked the suave gentleman look while on stage: sharp suits done well but there are a few videos of him around where he is showing some amazing fashion sense off. I wish I looked as cool as him in these clips
The yellow suit
Saturday Love – what a tune. This yellow suit is seriously amazing, not many people could pull this off but Mr O’Neal makes it looks fresh. Shame about the crappy clip 🙁
Furry collared leather jacket, white scarf and argyle jumper
Innocent – another great tune but, wow, this outfit is off the hook. No wonder all the girls are all over him, this look is increds. I have to admit he doesn’t look as good towards the end when the jacket comes off to reveal a tank top underneath…should have kept it on, pal.
Totally badman tracksuit with white shirt
Saturday Love again, I honestly can’t explain how much I love this tune. Anyway, that’s not what we’re on about here. The fact that he’s crooning away wearing what appears to be a black & white tracksuit with a shirt underneath is brave. I don’t how but he looks so fucking cool in this.
Alex, I take my hat off to you…
ps just found out that he sang backing vocals on SOS Band – The Finest which makes him even more awesome
