James Ingram - It's Real 1989

WEA Records W2975CD


James Ingram is from Akron, Ohio. Like the family group Ingram, he is also a self-taught musician who plays piano, guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, as well as having an excellent voice. Additionally, he is a producer and songwriter. He began his career in the '70s as part of the band Revelation Funk and gained his reputation in the Los Angeles area as a session vocalist. His surname and six degrees of seperation seem to be the only connection with Ingram the group?


Having made the grade with his performance on Quincey Jones album and his duet with Michael McDonald on Yah Mo B There, Ingram put his voice on all the best recordings but his own solo work didn't seem to get the same recognition. In 1989, for his third album, the production skills of Gene Griffin were used, with remixes by Teddy Riley, It's Real, the album title track was very much the sound of now. Despite the Swingbeat label, it still sounds pretty fresh. I like the comments from the producers.... (Teddy Riley & Gene Griffin, I guess?)
"Who we working with?"

"It's James man"

"Brown?"

"Nah man, James Ingram."
Yeah, New Jack Swing, some of it was damn good!

Indeep - Last Night A DJ Saved My Life 1982

Sound Of New York SNYL 1

  • Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (Vocal)
  • Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (Acapella)
  • DJ Delight
  • Telephone Ringing (Sound Effect)
  • Screeching Tires (Sound Effect)
  • Flushing Toilet (Sound Effect)
I came across this while raiding the archives and thought I'd post it. A couple of reasons:
  • It doesn't have any fancy cover to work on so its quick.
  • It's an early Gene Griffin Production and a Tony Humphries Sure Shot Mix.
But the main reason was because, I'm sure everybody's heard it and many have it on compilations etc. but some of you guys out there may want the Acapella and DJ Delight flipside, inc. sound effects. On the vinyl, DJ Delight is broken up into four visible sections although it plays as one track and is listed as one track. Kinda confused me, do I post it as 1 or 4 tracks. I chose to include both, delete as applicable but remember, if you intend to burn the seperate mp3's they probably won't run smoothly. I edit into wav before burning?
