Its sad most people only know Rick James from Chappelle show and not from his music.
I'm a huge fan of Temptations. Mostly for their earlier work.
This thread needs some Hall & Oates. Especially one of the most sampled songs in hip hop. https://www.whosampled.com/Daryl-Hal...n-Do)/sampled/

Look at the classic instruments. A Prophet. A mini Moog! Vocodors.

Fire up this earworm of a single on your turntable or smartphone, and the first thing you'll hear is an isolated drum machine track. To nail the sound, we deployed an original Roland CompuRhythm CR-78—one of the first truly programmable drum machines—and its "Rock-1" preset pattern. With a little “Vintage Tape" saturation from iZotope Ozone and some delay from the Waves H-Delay plugin, we matched the sound of the recording almost exactly.
The next track that comes up in the original recording is a subtle bassline via what we believe to have been a Korg organ of some kind. For this we used the Retro Synth VST in Logic Pro X to capture the sound—and if you download one of the sessions below for Logic, Pro Tools, or Ableton Live 10, you'll find equivalent replications to play around with.
While the original recording contains a myriad of different layers and parts (as you can see in the original track sheet from Electric Lady Studios above), we focused on two of the most prominent.
The primary chord part comes from a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 with chorus from the free TAL-Chorus-LX plugin. We used an actual Prophet-5, but these tones can be achieved via an emulator like the Arturia Prophet V, which can be bought separately or as part of the Arturia V Collection 6. (See below for details on a Reverb Exclusive Arturia sale.)
The distinct downward arpeggio line was recorded on a Fender Rhodes electric piano, which we emulated via a stock electric piano VST in Logic X with some chorus and reverb.
Lovin that track & the songs it was sampled in. That track sheet is pretty interesting too.Quote:

It must have been around the time The Final Countdown was a hit because I remember it being on the same music clip show that time. I have very vivid memories of the evening I saw this vid.
A bunch of us kids had gone around to a youth movements leader's house and watched tv together before we went on what must have been one of my first youth camps.
Any ideas as to the song? Thanks.
Is this it?
It is!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN.Quote:

The first 2 TFF albums are classic, beyond just a few big hits.

Hall & Oates though. I want to say they're underrated, but I guess people know how many hits they have.
Good thread.... But yall cant fuck with this:

"The Metro," also published as "Metro," is a 1981 song written by John Crawford for his band, Berlin.
The song was first released as a non-album single, "The Metro" b/w "Tell Me Why", on the MAO Music label in 1981. It reappeared, slightly remixed, on Berlin's breakthrough album Pleasure Victim, released on the independent label Enigma in 1982 and re-released on Geffen in 1983. In May 1983, "The Metro" was re-released as the third single from the album,[1] and the second to appear on the Geffen label. It was produced and engineered (as was most of the album) by the band's then-drummer and drum programmer, Daniel Van Patten.
The Berlin recording is known for epitomizing the new wave genre as a blending of punk rock and pop, with heavy use of the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 synthesizer.[2] Terri Nunn said the song, which was a breakthrough hit for Berlin, "defined us and defined that period of music."[3]

1981Quote:
One of the first fully programmable polyphonic analog synths, the Prophet 5 is the most classic synthesizer of the eighties! It is capable of a delightful analog sound unique to Sequential's Prophet series in which the P5 was King! Five voice polyphony - two oscillators per voice and a white noise generator. The analog filters, envelope and LFO all sound great and are extremely flexible. The P5 had patch memory storage as well, which scanned and memorized every knob setting for storing and recalling your sounds - a desperately needed feature at the time!
The P5 lacked MIDI (a feature that came later on the P5 spin-off, the Prophet 600). But it is still loved even today for its great string sounds, analog effects, and punchy analog basses. Unfortunately the P5 is not immune to the dark side of vintage synths - it has its fair share of analog synth problems such as unstable tuning, it's difficult to repair, lacks MIDI, etc.

No musical instruments. It's basically a beat box.

This video is a mix of the Wembley version (12/7/86), the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert version at the same stadium in 1992, and the now old video made by DoRo for Under Pressure (Rah Mix) in 1999.
But the original song was recorded and released as a single in October 1981, it was later included on Queen's 1982 album Hot Space.

One of the greatest guitar riffs of all time?Quote:
Dire Straits and Sting performing at Live Aid in front of 72,000 people in Wembley Stadium, London on the 13th July, 1985. The event was organised by Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine disaster. Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.
