Gwen McCrae

The last tour Soulpower put on for Gwen McCrae in June was a smashing success, so we'll bring her back this November once more. Get ready for a hot show as usual ... and we'll put out Gwen's first live album "Gwen McCrae -- Live at New Morning" (recorded in Paris in June) right on time for the tour. Of course including her hits "Funky Sensation", "Keep the fire burning", "All this love that I`m giving" and "Rockin' chair".

The dates:

Nov 09 Hannover, Palo Palo
Nov 11 Oslo, Cosmopolite
Nov 16 Edinburgh, Cabaret Voltaire
Nov 17 Newcastle, Gateshead
Nov 20 Paris, La Scene Bastille
Nov 21 Paris, La Scene Bastille
Nov 24 Aachen, Westbahnhof
Nov 26 Vienna, Porgy & Bess

Naw, she doesn't like that song. Cuz she doesn't talk like that in real life. She'd say "Darn right it's good"... cool

I forget it's the same lady responsible for all those hits.

"90% of Me is You" another hot one

Yeah, Gwen is one of the most sampled female vocalists in hip hop history ... we get a lot of requests from hip hop artists who wanna work with her, so stay tuned for a lot to come. Good thing is, the lady still has the same power as back in 75 and she looks like she`s in her late 30s.

"90%" is my personal favorite and it`s on the new live album as well ...

"Funky Sensation" came out on her first Atlantic release titled "Gwen McCrae" in 1981 (before, she was signed to the Miami-based "Cat Records").


If you want the Best of CD, I highly recommend this one:

http://www.amazon.com/exe...c&n=507846

It has all the essentials. And look for the new live album, it will be in stores in December.
