If you own the copyright for any of the music in these videos, please message me if you'd like them removed. I am not capitalizing on your music, just a fan that is trying to spread your sound. I grew up making pause/stop mixed tapes and use youtube in the same way - to learn, share, and discover! www.mrssidebottom.com
What's interesting is that growing up a teen and adulthood in the mid/late 90s and 2000s, I got into slow jam oldies music. Started hearing it on the radio every night. Thats how I started matching songs with the singer/bands. Then expanded my knowledge through finding other bands with similar styles. I rarely heard Sun band but they have so many similarities with the Stylistics, Earth Wind and Fire, as well as others, but for some reason Sun weren't as mixed in with slow jam oldies music. It took me a long time to find out about Sun. I just happened to hear one of their songs outside of the slow jam oldies radio late night hours, this song, and couldn't recognize the the artist/band, so I thought it had to be a new age group with an old school soul. I was surprised they were from the same era. I was kinda embarrassed I didn't know about them. Now I wonder if there's other artists/bands that fell through the cracks in hearing their music and I'm missing out on great slow jam oldies music.
I know whats right for me!! Sounds like the anthem you play when you are a teenager growing up and you feel like you are always right and no on can tell you better. Such a Angsty yet phenomenal piece of work. Only the greats like Kevin Parker can fathom such a sound. Super wavy and classic hit! Three cheers for this music to live forever!!!
My mom had I'm In Gear on an old cassette recorded off the radio in the 80s, without knowing the artist or the title for sure When she tried to use Shazam/SoundHound like a decade or so back, the quality wasn't good enough to get an answer Tonight while watching a video about a mysterious song off an 80s cassette I decided to try for at least the 4th or 5th time to Google And I finally got the answer, and was able to solve her 30-40 year mystery
From 1974: I wonder how Brian, brother Eddie and Lamont Dozier would have done as a singing group as opposed to short-lived solo careers after Motown songwriting for Berry Gordy.
this album has an old school saturated tape quality reminiscent of the late 60s-early 70s that's very difficult to replicate. I'll never understand how Kevin did this with such minimal resources at the time
