Absolutelly Killer Modern soul Brasil grooves, sounds like the older post, Djavan or Tony Bizarro (81), I think this music scene there is much to discover, not only by the unique music, but some discs are extremely difficult (if not impossible) to get, well this is not the case, but it certainly is a great discovery. I chose first my favorite song "O Cao E O Vagabundo" simply an wonderful song, second it's one joyful song called "Venha Ate Minha Casa" and finally but not less great is the one "Buraco".

Richard Torrance - Anything's Possible (78) (Capitol)

In my opinion the best lp of this artist, is an mix between latin, aor, funk & soul rhythm. I love this period of music between 77 to 79 there is a lot of great music in this style, on this LP aren't the representative artist who we can find on the lp release in  1977 (Porcaros, David Hungate, Ernie Watts, etc). But without a doubt this guy show us the best style on this lp with the self tittle song and another nicely song "Be Bop 'N' Holla".

Family - The Key Of Love (80) (Milk & Honey)

This lp is totally CCM, similar style as imperials or David Meece, they use to call "Family three" but not  confuse with the group who made the lp "Somewhere in Your Heart". This is the best lp of this Group, contain one awesome funky aor song called like the self tittle album, and another mellow christian lovely song called "Harmony".

David Baroni - All For The Glory Of God (82) (Majestic)

Terrible CCM and Modern Soul much better than his 83 lp bring us 2 bombs one "Follow Him" and the original song "Isn't It Just Like Jesus" that after Paul Beasley put unto his lp from 83.

John Brennan - St. (82) (Radio Canada International)

When i listen for the first time on an Japanese seller, i stay in schock, i couldn't believe that still missing some awesomes Aor songs, so much sophisticaded like the song "So Exciting", sounds  like Jerry Corbetta, the Earlier Tim Sheppard or any cool Westcoast Musician, sadly i'm looking for the LP it's one of my wanted and it is expensive a lot!!!.

Horizon - Let me Be The One (84) (Budweiser)

For those who like awesomes songs like "Santana - Hold On", here is an killer Funky song from the Showdown Serie, the A side of the EP "Let Me Be The One", one of the most fantastic funky that i listened recently simply an mega killer song!!!

James Vincent - Enter In (81) (Sparrow)

Another Killer CCM with several touch of Modern soul and Aor, one of the best in Christian scene bring us an lp awesome with good song in my favorite style like "You'll Be Right There", awesome in aor style, another spectacular song very sophisticaded song called "Take My Life" and finally one song with Jazzy style called "Come Follow Me".

Martin Nievera - The Best Gift (84) (Sunshine)

An Very Nice Modern Soul Bring us this actor from Phillipines (like Gary Valenciano) very rare, sounds between Funk songs like "I don't Care" and mellow ballards like "Each Day With You".

Kathy Troccoli - Heart & Soul (86) (Reunion)

Another CCM lp with a lot of Modern Soul inside very nice performances like Dan Huff, Keith Thomas, Ernie Watts, Michael W.Smith, etc. Produced By Brown Bannister (CCM on the top), Bring us one lovely aor song called "Yes And Know" and another Pop Funk Called "Long Distance Letter". All songs are good enough for listen the whole lp, and this in on the similar category as "Pete Carlson", "Michael James Murphy", "Kelly Willard", "Jim Schmidt", "Michael Peterson" and many but many others...

Danny Deardorff - Chameleon (81) (Maiden Voyage)

From The 70's Group "Deardorff & Joseph" and with the same Aor Mellow style this "Danny Deardorff" bring us an wanted aor lp with an lovely song called "Teach Me To Dance", this lp is dedicated to his wife...

Djavan - Luz (82) (Sony)

This is my favorite artist from the Brazilian scene for the moment, i'm still looking for rare artists from this awesome Style. Well the most killer song is performance by Stevie Wonder on harmonic, Ernie Watts on saxophone, Ronnie Foster on Keyboards and many others.  The song is called "Samurai", one of my favorites of all simply an masterpiece!!

Joni Mitchell - Dog Eat Dog (85) (Geffen)

This LP is not hard to find at all but it worthwhile to mention to it. I think everyone knows about this artist and his 70's music, this time bring an awesome song called "Good Friends", duet with Michael Mcdonald, show us an typical Westcoast song very amazing and away from her typically charasteristic, must be for the lot of supports that she has on his lp starting with Michael Landau, Luke, Kazu Matsui, Alex Acuña, Amy Holland and many but many others.

Leon Haines Band - I Wanna See You Know (81) (Maristone)

This is simple, i love to see when aor style is accompanied with a touch of funky. This band originaly from Netherland has an bigger hit called like the same tittle album, however is not my favorite song at all, the first track called "Another Clown" is an test of fantastic Jazz & Funk style with sophisticaded atmosphere and another song called "Dance A Little Closer" is trully an contagious rhythm very good, sounds a bit of rock but this band is considered Jazz Style.

James Moore - Something Old And Something New (87) (Sound Of Gospel)

Another Killer Modern Soul Gospel From James Moore, very exclusive lovely gospel songs like "As A Nation" and one killer awesome funky soul song called "God Can Do Anything" and finally one song called "I'll Be Going Home".

Mel Cabang - For You Lady (79) (Double Banger)

From Holonunu, Hawai Mel Cabang, one of Hawaii's leading entertainers, made his recording debut called "Lady". Since Mel's return home to the islands in 1971, he has literally taken this town by storm. Well known for his humor and comedy, and for his fine guitar playing and good singing voice, Mel has built a large popular following among local people as well as visitors to the islands. I present two soft soul similar to "Phillip Francis Stumpo" called "Your Love" and "I Can't Understand".

Zwol - St. (79) (EMI)

Excellent Aor Rock LP  Reach to the 30 Usa top chart with the killer song "Call Out My Name", simply an masterpiece!!!!. The LP version is different as the Chart version ¿why?.

Kai Olsson - Crazy Love (79) (Chrysalis)

Beautiful LP from the Nigel's Sister, it's mostly country Folk with a lot of aor influences, one of the best ballard it's called "Bishops & Queens".

Aztec Two Steps - The Time Of Our Lives (79) (Waterhouse)

Excellent Aor Folk with an touch of Rock very beautiful contain some country songs too but one of the best song is called "I Don't Wanna Go" awesome excellent song, one of my favies.
Another mellow ballard is called "Never Gonna Let You Go" it's pure magic.

Mayfield Small & Company - Show Me (85) (Maglo)

Awesome modern soul gospel trully exceptional songs like "Don't Wait Too Late", and another bomb very killer called " Everlasting Lord & King". I consider this music like an treasure and everyday i discover new magnifiscent artist, mostly from 80 to 86. This group is similar to Rodney Friend, Howard Mccrary, Calvin Bridges, Nathaniel Best, Reggie Devaughn & others gospel musicians very spirituals and very fantastics, the last awesome song is called "Waiting, Calling, Saying" very recommend it lp!!.

AOR MIX

I made an mix recently with my favorite style of music, i think that i always looking for songs with that tempo and style, i'm not an expert but...

Kevin I. - St. (81) (IBR)

Mysterious hawaian production in sounds between slow and funky disco songs like "Lady Of The Disco". One slow one is called "Slow Dancing".
