I think Daft Punk demonstrated this well, when they actually ventured out of house and electronic into orchestration with TRON and Random Access Memories (basically seventies music). |

Duran Duran is one of the first acts to have a sampler in their music with the remix for The Reflex. They also remade White Lines and Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5 is on the song and the music video. They did 911 Is A Joke too which is on the same album. Phil Collins has said that he got the "Ha! Ha! Ha!" on Genesis song Mama from The Message. Phil has been sampled quite a bit too. Yeah I'd say a lot of black Gen X and fans of that era have a lot of respect for Duran Duran, Phil Collins and George Michael as a soul singer. That makes it even more upsetting that R&B is getting killed because it also kills blue eyed soul. Adult pop or contemporary or whatever is a mediocre substitute.

Yeah "Get Lucky" was a smash with that Nile Rodgers signature on the bass line. It could have been released in the 70s and would have been a hit too. Trolls be gone! | |

And Chic was a major inspiration to Duran Duran, while Nile Rodgers himself actually produced the group later. |

I miss blue eyed soul music because if Ed Sheeran is the "best" UK singer then we're doomed lol. I don't know but social media and autotune have obliterated popular/mainstream music but I suppose you just have to dig more. Trolls be gone! | |

Nile's Duran Duran stuff is some of their best - I also enjoyed their most recent collaboration "Pressure Off" with Janelle Monae. A nice bridge to the 70s, 80s, and modern sound. if it was just a dream, call me a dreamer 2 |

That ain't rotary. But agree in spirit. Come now, we must feed the suits at the parent company. https://en.m.wikipedia.or...Industries [Edited 1/11/19 1:26am] | |
