What a way to get the weekend just around the corner underway with two fab "Going home for the Weekend" tunes, enjoy.

Instant Funk - Crying, a Larry Levan 12" Mix

Gospel BeBe Winans - Thank You (1997) Rare MAW 12" Inch Remix

With another Bank Holiday just around the corner, what better way to begin then with two outstandingly great "Going home for the weekend" tracks from the O'Jays, beginning with "I love music"

Swiftly followed on by "My favourite person",

 

[jazzer]

A Bank Holiday Bonus Track;

Marvin Gaye, "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You (Instrumental)".

Probably the best track on the entire album IMO.

It's Friday again, so it can only mean more "Going home for the weekend" tracks.

First up is a remix of Brass Construction's Movin by Djinji Brown

Followed swiftly by Marcus Miller from the Tutu Revisited LP (Live) featuring the superb Christian Scott, Hannibal. An absolutely stonking jazz track.

 

[Alan Medic]

Zombie, an anti war song and a Munster anthem.

 

[jazzer]

So many tunes and so little time to squeeze them all in by closedown, but lets start with two more outstandingly stonking good "Going home for the weekend" tunes from 1973 and 1975 with;

The Intruders, "I'll Always Love My Mama"

Followed swiftly by;

The Trammps, "Trusting Heart"

In memory of Cathal who we lost this week

I saw the Silver and Golden Jubilee's and now here we go with the Platinum Jubilee.

It's a double bank holiday weekend, and I'm feeling it's time to begin pulling some tunes out for the four days of celebrations which are ahead, and funk up your life so what better way to start than with some funky sounds to get you tapping and bopping across the floor. Tune 1, from a bag bursting at the seams;

Chaka Khan "I Know You, I Live You"

Followed by a touch of sweet jazz;

Eddie Russ, "take a look at yourself"

 

[jazzer]

Azymuth, "Jazz Carnival"

More Chaka Khan, "what cha' gonna do for me"

 

[Jah Lush]

Stuff the Jubilee!

 

[jazzer]

Bust'in hard, bust'in lose with a couple of more tunes from the box.

Eddie Russ - Zaius

Gene Chandler, "Love is the answer"
