Beggars can't be choosers

Submitted by shedload on 1 December 2008 - 10:55am.

Is it just me or is the first track, Live in Me, pretty much identical to Beggar & Co's Help Me Out? Did the Britfunk boys nick the tune? I think we should be told...
Superb stuff with the Chaka mix as with the Dan one previously. Many thanks.

Live In Me

Submitted by Andrew 6MS on 1 December 2008 - 11:13am.

Hi shedload

Not sure about Beggar & Co nicking "Live In Me" - I can hear the similarities. "Live In Me" was actually written by Rod Temperton - we featured it on the ROD TEMPERTION SPECIAL we did earlier this year, give it a listen if you haven't heard it.

The Chaka tune came out in '79, "Somebody Help Me Out" came out in '81, so maybe they did get their inspiration from it.

Cheers.

Andrew

I did indeed listen to - and download - your Rod Temperton special and very good it was too. That's where I first heard Live in Me - which seems very hard to find on MP3.

Wrath of Khan....

Submitted by mwkinley on 28 November 2008 - 4:50pm.

Hey,
Just a quick note to say how much I'm enjoying these sessions. Loved the Chaka , especially the Live in Me too, think I've got that on a Good Times compo somewhere, will have to go and find it...
Keep up the good work, am giving my non computer literate Bro some of your mixes for Christmas burnt with some nice labels etc. he's an soul boy who I took to the O2 last Sat to see Alex O'neal but we kicked off at home with your Luther (his idol) mix and some beer....and he just loved it.

Cheers

I know exactly what you mean

Submitted by jj6ms on 28 November 2008 - 11:26am.

I know exactly what you mean Soulie, i hate all that feel for you nonsense... i was gonna throw a bottle i was gonna chucka can, chucka, chucka can..etc

i think my compatriots - Andrew and DC - will probably do a Walter Gibbons special on the radio . i can feel the vibes :)

yeah eugene might be a goer, but E.W.F up next, their own tunes and some of the productions they did for the likes of the Pockets, Emotions, Ramsey Lewis, Deniece Williams etc

cheers
