Everyone knows Mtume for Juicy Fruit, the track that Notorious BIG used for the backing of Juicy. What you might not have known is that there were plenty of other great songs by the band and that James Mtume, their founder, has a list song writing credits longer than something incredibly long indeed. You should be well aware of one of them, at least
As a side note I just realised that I’ve been pronouncing the band’s name incorrectly for a long, long time. Anyway, this tune’s wicked
Soulful grooves from the awesome Imagination. They’re probably best known for the mighty Just An Illusion but I prefer this one. The dub mix is also great if you’re not so into the vocals
Hella cheesy 80s funk goodness. Collage’s early stuff was produced by The Whispers who had some wicked tunes. I’ll put a few of them up soon, I reckon.
