Hey DavidEye, thanks for helping me out. With your help I searched WinMx for Bill Summers and I uncovered "We Call It The Box" by Bill Summers and Summer's Heat. Also, I found out that "Jam The Box" is a song by Pretty Tony. Also, Raphael Saadiq is a thief, I just listened to an old song by Bill Summers and Summer's Heat called "Call It What You Want" and he stole the riff of that song for the 2000 Lucy Pearl jam "You." Amazing what you can discover on the internet. I hope Saadiq is giving Summers their royalties. [This message was edited Wed Aug 14 16:27:20 PDT 2002 by JANFAN4L] | |

It sounded like a Janet Jackson "Control" b-side! ______________________________________________

[This message was edited Wed Aug 14 16:27:20 PDT 2002 by JANFAN4L] Bill Summers and Summers Heat were a cool band back in the day.Do you remember their 1982 hit "17"? It was more pop/New Wave than their earlier funk hits.I heard that Pebbles (remember her?) started out in this group in the early 80s. | |
