Old Skool Vibes-15 High Fashion -- Feeling Lucky Lately

[johnbuurman]

Italian music (chords, melody) were used in many other styles in the early 80's a lot of music was produced by italian producers and studiomusicians, high fashion is an example.

nowadays a lot of ballads (also r&b) are based on a mixture of jazz/itallo pop chord progressions, in the early years there were singers like frank sinatra, dean martin, elvis etc that also used italian songs.

Now let me see if I can feel how I used to feel; on a natural buzz filled with optimism!

[PympHarD]

this sound like some early 80's with the big hair and leather

[Bengijo242]

the italian r&b producers in the early 80s, was very much underrated, but silent and deadly in my opinion.....am now learning that many of those hot r&b tracks was produced by italians.....!!!!!

[sastal]

@Bengijo242 Yes, this one by Mauro Malavasi, who years later co-produced Andrea Bocelli.

[Bengijo242]

YES THEY HAD A GREAT RUN IN THE 80s....CHANGE/ JIMMY ROSS/ BB&Q BAND/LOOSE ENDS/ and OF CAUSE HIGH FASHION... HAVE ALL HAD A TASTE OF ITALIAN PRODUCERS....!!!!!!

[KnicksBasketballNY]

@Bengijo242

Are you Italian?

[AmazingTrilla]

@KnicksBasketballNY NO! AM NOT ITALIAN ! IN FACT AM BLACK IF YOU CARE TO KNOW... AM JUST SOMEONE WHO HAS LOVED, AND FOLLOWED, GOOD MUSIC OVER THE YEARS......!!!!!!!

[Bengijo242]

@KnicksBasketballNY sorry that reply was from Bengijo242 some other family member account was activated at the time and it showed up under Amazing Trilla

@Bengijo242, yes it was all mafia money and played in their clubs in Europe and Miami... kinda makes sense
