In this Series of Posts, I will writing about a Particular Classic Soul/Funk Album from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s
Dayton Released their 4th Out Of 5 Career Albums on the Capitol Record label in 1983, it was called “Feel the Music”
It was Produced by Rahni Harris apart from Track 5 which was Produced by Roger Troutman, incidentally all the Troutman Brothers appeared on the Track!
Only One Track made the US R&B Charts, that was “It Must Be Love” which reached Number 54!
My Favorite Track on the Album is “Promise Me” I’ve Played this Track more than the Rest put Together!
Another Great Track on the Album was “Sound Of Music” which was Very Popular on the UK Dance Scene.
Not Forgetting the Zapp Produced Track “Love You Anyway”
The Track’s I liked the Least are “Eyes” its a Sort of Rock Track, and the Reggae Sounding “Looking Up”
