[Edited 2/9/11 15:35pm] You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

My favorite funk band of all time! "Burn Rubber" is my favorite, but so many of their tracks were slammin'! "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Swedish band "The Roots Of Funk" performs a solid cover-version of this imo

Another from their 1989 album. Their first and only deal for Capitol Records after leaving the Total Experience label. The new jack-era was coming in full effect, and they recorded some tracks in this genre for the album sessions, not much later followed by Charlie's first solo-project, also including swingbeat recordings. But this following one from "Round Trip" caught my attention. Great mid-tempo, co-written by Ross Vannelli (brother of Gino) :

Charlie was also playing keyboards for the Eurythmics around this time, and he produced this song for Pebbles.

Charlie produced half of Pebbles's debut album. "Take Your Time" and "Do Me Right" were both him in addition to "Mercedes Boy." "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

One of their most underrated songs. I have the 12 inch version of this song and it's awesome. Can't believe this song didn't catch onto radio well. I used to play the hell out of the first side of this album. Wednesday Lover was tough too. Don't laugh at my funk

Lonnie Simmons is why. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Charlie was supposed to be writing a book, but I don't know if he's still planning to do it.
