This classic Sade cut was on one of my parents' mix tapes growing up. Track nice af, with bonus nostalgia vibes.
I had no intention of putting remixes or alternate versions on the list. I had every intention of putting the full version of the original "I Can't Go For That" on this list (now appearing on the More Mix). In researching this list, I came across this Pomo remix, and, surprisingly, I thought it captured better what I was going for on this list.
On the More Mix, I also included the bird and the bee cover of the song from their truly lovely cover album "Interpreting The Masters Volume 1: A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates." Oh, and a FOURTEEN MINUTE live version is on there, too.
There's a very nice documentary on Netflix now about Quincy Jones called Quincy. It does a great job of talking about Jones as a person, but also shows a great retrospective of how popular music got to where it is. "Give Me The Night" and "Stomp!" (More Mix) are two huge tracks for me in the evolution of my appreciation of Jones, following all the Michael Jackson stuff.
Always loved the groove in the Heavy D version, so when I discovered the Third World version of "Now That We Found Love," a major groove ride, I was quite pleased. A few cheesy moments, but you have to sort of love those. Included in the More Mix are 70's R&B versions. What a contrast!
Capped off with Boogie Nights. Disco goes to England, gets cleaned up and sent back.
