7Th Wonder - The Tilt

[@JamesSono-r8s]

Radio Bophuthatswana at its best, with Thapelo Thipe,yours body, mind and soul at the helm

[@jabulanimsibi6816]

reminds me of 1979 when I was much more younger than I am today - good old days.

[@ldubb9621]

The Pride of the Swift growing South! Tuskegee Alabama in the house!

[@jamesferrell2449]

That's right they're from Tuskegee, Alabama !

[@gbrown4x4]

I have been looking for this song for over 20 yrs. I used to have that album & saw them n concert prolly n ‘82 n Lake Charles La. FINALLY !!! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@leetate977]

This is an excellent upload... I remember hearing this as a senior at Hawthorne High School in late 1980.... I had only heard it a few times on KDAY and after a few months I never heard it again until today....Never knew who it was, but now I can hear Leon Sylvers stink all on it....

[@carletonmartin4820]

[@robertplautz9722]

this is so funk. love it

[@fernetpunker]

great great music, thank you

[@alexha737]

terrible incredible

[@Rell-m1x]

If my memory serves me correctly Stephen Shockley of Lakeside was part of the production team also

[@jeffrey5165]

Close. It was Leon Sylvers. However Lakeside’s Otis Stokes co wrote this jam. This sounds like a song for Dynasty or Midnight Star.

[@playsbass1969]

@MusicLova84 it came out 1979 1990 from birmanham alabama

[@46jazzz]

Awesome !

[@jeffreychatman4376]

This one screams "Solar Records" big time. It's unmistakable.

[@rondmc44]

It was written by Nidra Beard (Dynasty) and Otis Stokes (Lakeside) and produced Leon Sylvers III, who are all involved with SOLAR, an outside project.

[@zapphead]

Your ears hear right...it is a Leon Sylvers III production!

[@Dee9158]

The groove sounds like a Leon Sylvers production. Is it?

[@Bewareofthewolves]

@MusicLova84 There were quite a lot of underground 70's groups into the demonic new age movement, so that is where the symbolic album covers come from.

[@MrJuly1990ish]

They were pretty much a one hit wonder with this song, when it came out in 1980, just like The Reddings with "Remote Control."

[@MusicLoverPearson]

They were not a one hit wonder they had a hit song in 1979 called Daisy Lady which was sampled by the Sugar hill Gang called 8th Wonder also in 1980 their biggest hit was I Enjoy Ya

[@MusicLoverPearson]

The Reddings wasn't a one hit wonder they had other hit songs from their second album called Class (Is What You Got) and Seriously

[@TheRoland1947]

@@MusicLoverPearson All in All, Don't You Let Me down Easy a few more. Not A lot of hits but surely more then a 1 hit wonder

[@lungilenhleko1587]

The tilt, and indeed it was a tilt. If this doesn't move you, there's a problem.

[@MusicLoverPearson]

ROFL You got that right

[@nhlanhlamthembu1552]

Yes indeed that's when music was at it's best

[@rchilds59]

@Bewareofthewolves Patently false. The album cover graphics of the time complemented, and were illustrative of the powerful southern funk music period of the late 1970s (to the mid 1980s), not some imaginary "demonic new age movement." There were dozens of funk bands coming out of the southeast in those days, hailing from Memphis, Tuskegee, Atlanta, Houston, Dayton and other such locales, but the only subliminal statement being made in most album graphics was freedom of expression.

[@rchilds59]

@MusicLova84 Earth Wind & Fire did indeed study Egyptology, and other world religions. Doing so broadened their thinking, their global world view and contributed to the enlightened nature of their musicianship and lyricism. There was nothing demonic about it. Only western culture (which borrows from every other nation on earth), takes what it doesn't understand and destroys it, or errantly labels it "the occult." What may actually be demonic, is much of today's music. EWF, 4-Ever.

[@robertplautz9722]

here's a link to their Egyptology discosyconciertos.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/7th-wonder-thunder-1980/ the cover artist is Jeff Wack here are his album covers www.discogs.com/artist/2231892-Jeff-Wack

[@beltranarellanes]

Woke!

[@haroldf3581]

Man that’s fucked up. This song cuts off too soon.😮

[@OLDMUISCLOVER]

they had others songs that were good

[@Bewareofthewolves]

@rchilds59 So you are telling me that this and many other album covers had nothing whatsoever to do with any spiritual beliefs? Have you ever looked into the New age movement, or are you locked in its shackles?

[@tedblgtn9430]

:-)

[@46jazzz]

Awesome !
