On a recent solo road trip to Dubai I brought along a bespoke driving songs compilation for the Woz-mobile. You know the sort of stuff - songs that can be sung LOUDLY (and really badly) as you're pootling along.
When Raydio's You Can't Change That came on I kept hitting replay. It played about five times on the approach to Dubai Mall.
Raydio housed the awesome talents of Ray Parker Jnr, before he did that Ghostbusters theme and went mega, and the other blokes were terrific as well (they must be cheesed off that these hits are attributed to either Ray Parker Jnr AND Raydio or worse just to Ray).
Here's three of the funky best from Raydio: their first hit Jack and Jill, the awesome You Can't Change That and their biggest hit of all A Woman Needs Love.
And, as a bonus for my eldest son who LOVED dancing around to this on my green 12inch vinyl in the early 80s:
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence - ROBERT FRIPP. Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; MUSIC IS THE BEST - FRANK ZAPPA. I think we're a little happier when we have a little music in our lives - STEVE JOBS. Music in the soul can be heard by the universe - LAO TZU. Rock and Roll is fire, man. FIRE. - DAVID BRIGGS. Music grips you, gets into your soul - GEORGE MARTIN
