Dark Alleys and Love On A Rainy Afternoon by Arif Mardin

Turkish born Arif Mardin was part of the legendary Atlantic Sound that included Armet Erthugen, Tom Dowd, Jerry Wexler, and Joel Dorn --all of whom are no longer with us. These two cuts are off Arif's 1974 solo album Journey and is part of a suite entitled Street Scene. Enjoy.

[roscoegino]

True, All the engines behind Atlantic are gone. Fearless visionaries. All of them.

@roscoegino in fact he was the one he had the idea that the bee gees should sing 1 octave higher. and they had success with that. before there werent singing those high pitched notes.

Thanks for posting. I recognized the intro music as being from the Herbie Hancock Sextant album - another classic.

I wore this album out when I was younger

[tornebrookmafia]

YES, it IS the same Arif Mardin that worked with Chaka Khan, and Aretha franklin, Dusty Springfield, Bee Gees, Phil Collins, Bette Midler, Hall & Oates, Jewel, and Norah Jones to name a few. I used to work for Mr. Mardin actually. This is off his own artist album: Journey

[wadioface]

He also produced Norah Jones' first two CDs, "Pick up the Pieces" by Average White Band, "Wind Beneath my Wings" Bette Midler. I had the pleasure of working with him and his son Joe. Geniuses are best when they are sincere and kind.

[roscoegino]

same one. he produced the bee gees as well.
