BRENDA RUSSELL Way Back When JOEY NEGRO REMIX

Of the 8 tracks on Brenda Russell's 1979 self titled solo debut, 6 of them have stayed with me for 40 years and I am really enjoying rediscovering them via extended remixes that some creative geniuses such as Joey Negro have done - as displayed here with the magical treatment of 'Way Back When'. When I saw that Joey had tackled this great Brenda Russell song I knew I would be hooked immediately as he is a master at giving renewed funk to some classic R&B gems. With Brenda's beautiful melodies, and soulful lyrics; the strings' arrangement on this is just sublime, as is the entire backing band. Joey's remix brings out the wonderful joie de vivre of the original and makes it vibier and more joyous, if that is at all possible! The 'Brenda Russell 'LP from 1979 is so underrated - considering the hit single 'So Good So Right' is far from the only brilliant track on it. I've already posted 'In The Thick Of It' with its R&B flavour, 'If Only For One Night' the soulful ballad that became a hit for Luther Vandross several years after Brenda's, and now this marvellous funky outing 'Way Back When'..... Still to come - two other terrific selections that have been sampled, covered and remixed!
