If anyone has the CD single I'd sure appreciate a 320 rip as I don't own this one!

Danny Madden has worked with the Basement Boys on Ultra Naté's early work, and he was the background singer and vocal arranger on many of the Def Mix productions.



This track was produced by Danny and Carl McIntosh (Loose Ends) with some Dancin' Danny D remix activity. Is it soulful I hear you ask. Look at the cover, see how it pays homage to Marvin, with this kind of pedigree you don't need to ask, just check the acappella and stop worrying.

There was also an album 'These Are The Facts Of Life' but I never got to hear it. This track was featured in the Mario Van Peebles' movie "New Jack City". It's a beautiful thing people!



Tracklist
  1. Dancin' Danny D's Accapella Intro Edit

  2. Thanks for the props bro BUT what was the other track?

    I'll re-rip Danny Madden and replace the link. I got a vintage PC and I get compression problems. It maybe the reason for the skips? :-/

    UPDATE: Danny Madden re-ripped and new link! ;-)

  6. Hey Earth Gyrl, I've never been a pretentious bastard and I don't intend to start now. Up front, I didn't know Simon Dunmore remixed this tune!

    Knowing, leaves me wanting... I love the Touchdown Mix of Kenny Thomas - Best Of You and if he done that with Facts Of Life, I want it too.

    It's down to the good folks of the Soul Vendor community. Does anybody out there have any info on this. Would one of you good people like to make it available? :-/

  7. You really need to hear the touchdown remixes. They are totally different from these versions posted. If I remember correctly, these mixes even had something like a full stringed orchastra playing in the background, Massive Attack style...giving the song a very deep and epic feel to it.

    I'll keep checking back on this blog for it...as I am in a part of the world where buying rare rnb tracks is totally impossible.

    1. I was thinking of posting that album as I have it.

      I normally stick to CD Singles but I might go for it.

    1. Hey Street. I looked at that myself but I'm not sure that I like the Touchdown Mix enough to blow around £39.43 on!

      ...or did you mean you've found it at a more reasonable price? I'd appreciate you posting it on here if so...

      :)
