Loose Ends - No Stranger To Darkness

[@Bishopstreetboy]

Brings back timeless memories from a hot summer of 1983 this was one of many tracks on a mix tape of classics

[@crosbonit]

Jane Eugene had one of the very best female voices of all time.

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

Her voice is simply exquisite!

[@benji.B-side]

Her voice, this tune and its vibe, are perfection! Slow Jam at its very finest!

[@troymorris1183]

Love this song 😅

[@AnnekaLarwood]

Discovered this song through sampling, gotta say it's a really sweet and calming tune. Much better than the remix I found before. :)

[@janeadams5112]

What song was it?

[@AnnekaLarwood]

@@janeadams5112 hello, sorry for the late reply. The song is 'MAITRO - Flying Nimbus 筋斗雲' I do like the beat but I feel like it was a bit loopy throughout.

[@luly2369]

The UK aint ready for this funk 😎

[@dirtyglovekennels616]

Don't you guys know they probably made this song in the UK?

[@crosbonit]

But these very talented people are from the UK. It's just that times have changed and things have collapsed and gone straight to hell.

[@na3811]

[@dontaviouschandler3961]

This was released in 1983 but was it ever released here in the United States? Because I have this same album on both cassette and CD and never heard it before

This song sounds like it inspired the beat for Fonzworth Bentley’s - "EveryBody" featuring KanYe West and Andre 3000.

Jane Eugene

[@funkyballs4904]

not only...Carl McIntosh, Jane Eugene, Steve Nichol

[@13x305]

​@@funkyballs4904 & da secret 4th member; Nick Martinelli

[@funkyballs4904]

@@13x305 Nick Martinelli can be seen as a member. But he is more of a producer than a full member of the group. He was prolific for other funky bands in the 80s. Loose Ends are Jane Eugene, Steve Nichol and Carl MacIntosh. However Loose Ends owes a lot to Nick Martinelli for the Zagora album. The only member who really brings Loose Ends to life is Carl MacIntosh in my eyes. I regret that the group no longer truly creates.

[@13x305]

@@funkyballs4904 I'm only saying this cuz they each have stated dat in different interviews. He was behind the 1st four albums. It aint only Zagora. I mention it cuz folks don't know he behind da scenes. Got joints with Fat Larry's Band, Phyllis Hyman, Stephanie Mills, Teddy Pendergrass, 52nd Street, Regina Belle, etc. Granted, Look How Long is skraight heat. I see dat one as an unofficial Carl McIntosh debut if U ask me. Killed da production

[@funkyballs4904]

@@13x305 ha ok, I didn't know that Martinelli was so influential. (Thanks to him then, the sounds were so good). What do you please say at the end about Carl's activity? I didn't understand.
