Loose Ends Appreciation

Loose Ends will always hold a special place with me. Carl McIntosh is in that special class of underrated producer like Randy Muller, Chuckii Booker, Andre Cymone, Jay King and James Mtume.

LOVE em.

Although "Hangin on a String" and that debut get the most love.....

The albums "Zagora" and the last one "Look How Long" are BRILLIANT.

"You Can't Stop The Rain" offa Zagora spins regularly here.

"The Real Chuckeeboo" & the track "Watching You" were released the week I got married....always takes me back to that time (when I was young & DUMB enough to get MARRIED....ha).

Nick Martinelli's best work (and he produced MANY great acts & tracks during the late 80's.).

Loose Ends music reminds me of growin up in Frankfurt,Germany, Austin,Tx and Omaha, Neb between 1988-90' smile Carl McIntosh sort of disappeared didn't he? This was the last big song/artist he was attached to....

You don't see groups like this these days. A sophisicated look but can lay some grooves down cool

I miss hearing the sounds of this group.

I love Nights of Pleasure, Stay A Little While and Slow Down. I listened to them and SOS Band back in the mid-late 80's.

He's done some production work since then, and they were also on this Pete Rock joint in '98:
