R.I.P. Ralph MacDonald (1944-2011)

Ralph MacDonald, the Grammy-winning writer, producer and percussionist passed away yesterday morning at his home in Stamford, after a long illness. He worked with artists such as George Benson, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Amy Winehouse and many more, but is best known for composing the classics 'Where Is The Love' by Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway and 'Just The Two of Us' by Grover Washington Jr & Bill Withers. Another legend gone too soon.

Seal - Love T.K.O (Teddy Pendergrass) x Lean On Me (Bill Withers)

Following the worldwide success of his 2008 cover album 'Soul', Seal has teamed up with producers Dave Foster & Trevor Horn to bring us the brilliant 'Soul 2'. His cover of Let's Stay Together by Al Green was the lead single, but it's the Teddy Pendergrass and Bill Withers reworks that have caught my attention after the first few listens. As he explains:

"In my twenty years on a journey in the music industry, two things remain constants, the voice and more importantly, the song. I continue to make music because of the chance that this day could indeed be the day I write another great song or have the opportunity to sing one. The songs on Soul 2 are a natural evolution in the arc of soul music from the songs on the first Soul album - and they are all-time classics."

A must have for any music lover. Out on November 21st - pre-order HERE.

Who Is He?

One of my favourite remixes of 2010. Still not as good as the Henrik Schwarz version (after the jump), but you can’t go wrong when remixing one of the all-time soul classics.
