I've ALWAYS loved this song !! The vocals are outstanding....but the arrangement is just killer. Love the break into the guitar and simple piano chords...then the build back to full band. | ||

Those glee-club background vocals is what gives this song it's edge. | ||

Fred McFarlane, Allen George were co-producers with Jocelyn on this track. Fred McFarlane released a rap version response version of the track by a guy named M.C. Count without Joycelyn's knowledge and it pissed her off. | ||

Whew!!! That song was the jam back in the day!!! The background vocals on that song are killer gospel vocals in the style of The Thomas Whitfield Singers. I just love singing along with the background vocals! | ||

By complete coincidence i ran into Ms Brown in the most unusual circumstances recently, she is living next door to my Uncle in a very pleasant part of London. When my Uncle told me on my last visit ( May ) I expressed pleasant surprise and told him that I'd bought the record that this thread is about and also been to a Jocelyn Brown concert many moons ago at Hammersmith Odeon. He immediately called her ( she's a great neighbor he says ) and about five minutes later I received an autographed CD over the quite high fence - so to summarize I've heard her voice, thanked her and got her autograph without ever meeting her - I'm taking some flowers next time though. She's still working and doing great by all accounts. | ||

Great story DeWalt, rather nice of you to share. Your story led me to this wonderful trove of information. Things I never knew about this fine singer. Hope you enjoy as well. http://www.disco-disco.com/artists/jocelyn.shtml  | ||

Thanks Kdubya, it's the ' Unreleased' record Ms Brown signed and passed over. | ||

Great great interview...I think I'm going to have to put some Jocelyn on when I get home. I can definitely here the influence of Barbar Roy in her voice. I just asked a few weeks ago if that was Jocelyn singing "Touch & Go" only to find out that it was her aunt | ||

As much as I like Somebody Else's Guy I went to a party once and that was all they played I got so tired of hearing it (must have been 20 times) that I never cared if I heard it again in life. Anyway I go to youtube and decide Ok I will listen to it and I was reminded of what I liked it so much before the party its an awesome record. | ||
cOzmic (cozmic) 6-Zenith Username: cozmic Post Number: 1361 Registered: 3-2005 |
20 times ?! Yeah, that's indeed a bummer and no doubt a good reason to not listen to it again. I must say that i rarely listen to that track anymore, such as other party-hits like Tom Browne's "Funkin For Jamaica", and a few others. Had my share by hearing it too many times at parties or radio-shows | ||
stephanie (stephanie) 6-Zenith Username: stephanie Post Number: 3161 Registered: 2-2005 |
Oh Cozmic in college that is all they played I thought if I heard that Chaka Khan soundalike one more time I was going to croak! | ||
