Kashif - Are You The Woman

Singer/songwriter/keyboardist/producer Kashif wrote and played on Evelyn King's (aka Evelyn "Champagne" King) number one R&B hits "I'm in Love" and orn Mic"Love Come Down," Whitney Houston's first hit "You Give Good Love" and one of its follow-ups, "Thinking About You" from her 17-million-selling debut album Whitney Houston. He also contributed to her 17-million selling Whitney LP. His own recording career yielded 17 R&B hit singles and four Top 40 albums. He recorded several duets: "Love Changes" with Mel'isa Morgan, "Love the One I'm With" with Melba Moore, and "Reservations for Two" with Dionne Warwick. Part of the vanguard that includes early pioneers Stevie Wonder and Ronnie McNeir and his '80s contemporaries the System, Kashif helped to revolutionized R&B music through the infusion of the then-emerging affordable, MIDI/synth technology of the '80s. Music synthesizers at one point could easily fill a room. With the advent of the microchip, synths became more portable and had tonal stability and pricing (though most professional-level synths cost a couple thousand dollars or more) during the '80s. Like McNeir, Kashif shares the distinction of having two self-titled albums in his catalog.

[Kashif1522]

For all of you who are wondering where I am. I am alive and well living in Marina del Rey, Ca. I am still writing and producing music as well as directing commercials and documentaries. I thank you for all your kind remarks and statements. There is still a lot more good music inside me. I Just opened a school for youth in foster care ages 8-18 - Kashif University. If you are on Facebook look up Kashif Saleem. That's me. God Bless you all!

Man use to listen to this when I first joined Army in 1982. Then bump into this today and see he responded to someones posting. Not surprised performs from my day were always so unselfish.
