This group’s infectious blend of R&B, soul, funk, jazz, disco, pop, rock, dance, Latin, and Afro-pop has set them apart as trailblazers, influencing today’s genre-bending artists.
The penultimate track, “Turn On The Action” from Quincy Jones’ album, The Dude, is an absolute treat for the ears. This track, a fusion of funk and jazz, is a testament to Jones’ genius – a constant source of inspiration for modern producers.
Finally, we explore the heart wrenching ballad “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You” by Michael Bolton from his Greatest Hits 1985-1995 album. This song, with its raw emotional power and Bolton’s mesmerizing vocals, remains a classic in the realm of romantic music.
