Reggie Lucas, one half of the famed Mtume-Lucas production team, passed
away recently and I decided to highlight just how many classic soul
tracks he helped write and produce along with James Mtume. Truth be
told, this mix could have lasted at least double its length and still
had tunes to spare, but condensed this mix to some faves and rarities.
From
being a leading member of both Miles Davis and Roberta Flack's band, he
went on to great success with James Mtume, writing and producing great
LP's for the likes of Flack, Stephanie Mills, Phyllis Hyman and more as
well as being a member of the Bands Mtume and Sunfire. Reggie went solo
in the 80's producing many pop hits as well as Madonna's debut LP, but
his hook up with Mtume, who he worked with in Miles band, is my favorite
period for me with regard to his work.
So press play below and realise just how many legitimate classics these guys rolled out back in the day.
New shows from me on nuwaveradio.net and stick with the blog for more from Grizz and Ridym.
