Thank you hamishblues for such a great sounding post. Herb Smith and I had some creative differences during this production. I loved this song of his and asked him if I could write both the orchestral and choral accompaniments after he and Terri Wells had completed their vocals. And though he eventually allowed me these honors, to this day I am not sure if he really liked what I did. Maybe someday I'll truly learn what's in his heart of hearts. His vocal is incredible!
Money Power Respect by Puff & them was cool, but HISD did it's thing when they sampled this song for their track "cranberry" & it's a dope track indeed. I'm a Dexter Wansel fan anyway & this is just one of those progressive songs. Tell me y'all, doesn't Herb Smith sound so similar to Michael Henderson? Great stuff my friend. Keep posting.
I remember when Herb Smith played the original demo of this song for me before Dexter even heard it. Herb is a super talented multi-instrumentalist. He sang, played guitar and laid a solid drum track.
ok .i did not know mr wansel actually did any vocals i only knew of him by some of his musical arrangements, check out pure imagination with the late great lou rawls.thanks
@mrbrownbear3 That's exactly what i was thinking. Mike Henderson was a mercenary back then...doing vocals for lots of artists who didn't do vocals themselves and i damn sure would've said the same thing if the poster didn't give the name of the singer up top.
i'm listening to these old songs...i feel like hip hop from 90s made these beautiful, gorgeous songs sooo sad...downtroden. the originals are so beautiful....pure...artistic...joyful. i loved kim and lox money power respect, but i kinda feel like i've been lied to...wish i had just heard the original when i was 12...instead of now.. how would my life be different?
@FoxZo83 i kind of agree with your statement. problem is u were born un a different era, so it was hard for u to hear the og. but i can dig what ur saying.
yeah but diddy...arranges alot of d-dots shit...he doesnt actually compose the beats...but i gaurantee he heard this and told them boys...chop it up like this...
