Remy Shand---Rocksteady (With Lyrics)

I OWN NOTHING! ALL IMAGES CAME FROM PHOTOBUCKET! ALL MUSIC BELONGS TO REMY SHAND AND MOTOWN RECORDS!

Shand was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Doug and Lana Shand. His father was of Scottish/English descent and his mother was of Italian descent. By the age of 12, Shand had learned to play the guitar and acoustic bass. While many people during the 1980s and 1990s were influenced by early hip hop and pop, his father was into soul. According to Shand, his father influenced and exposed Shand to R&B/soul acts including Steely Dan, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Herbie Hancock, The Isley Brothers, Stevie Wonder and Blood, Sweat and Tears.
During his home schooling in Winnipeg, he listened to his parents' R&B, blues and soul albums, spending a lot of time in his basement sampling retro music. Shand's love of funk music made him an outcast. His parents encouraged him to earn his GED, and to work on his music as a project. He also attended Garden City Collegiate for his Grade 11 year of studies.
At the age of 19, Shand sent a demo tape to Steve Warden. Warden then became his manager and helped to find Shand a prominent record deal. Two different labels gave Shand offers for a recording deal but he turned down the offer. Fortunately Universal Music Canada had signed Shand to a record deal with Motown Records in the United States.
Shand began recording and mixing his debut album, The Way I Feel, during the spring of 2001 at his home in Winnipeg, performing and recording the tracks for vocals and every instrument on the album. The album features songs such as "The Colour of the Day" and "I Met Your Mercy", examples of his particular style. Shand was quoted as saying the track "Everlasting" was the blueprint towards the content of The Way I Feel, as it was the oldest track on the album, recorded in 1998.
The Way I Feel was released on March 12, 2002, and Shand won a Juno Award for Best R&B/Soul Recording at the 2003 Juno Awards. The album was successful in Canada and sold roughly 500,000 copies in the United States. Shand received four Grammy nominations for his work

I'm 71 years young and i have to tell you kids music is so good for your soul and well being, this is by far the best ive heard in a while he sings from the inside out. It's really to bad that people don't how to move forward. I wish i had met him in this life time maybe my next. His music talks.

I wish he was promoted right,, he has great vocals..

[darklord2626]

As much as i hate to say it i hope Remy remains a one hit wonder. Hes such a classic. He's a legend. This album is my own little world of solitude and his reputation is so high i think any other album would ruin the Remy we all know---the soulfullness of this album should remain untouched.
