George Benson (with Norman Brown) remade a song Roger did with Charlie Wilson. It was on George's 2009 album.
Original 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 | |

Nice! It's good to hear that the French see Roger's influence from a much different perspective than the typical hip-hop pov. Those two hip-hop tributes that Shango threw up epitomize everything I don't want to see/hear in a Zapp/Roger tribute (and design-wise they pretty much say "stay away"). Thanks for the heads up on this comp, enfantdumilieu. Listening to it right now. | |
