if you can still sing the songs in your living room, and still remember the words and the melody "thats a classic", even if the song didn't get the desired top radio play or advertisement! if you hear it once and it sticks that a hit to me. Many creative people are going back to the days when music was much warmer , there are only so many chords and so many styles but you cant beat a classic tune . know what i mean?
Sounds Like: Glen Goldsmith has been inspired by some of the top british Black acts of his youth such as ....

and others
With the british Jazz funk explosion, glen was blown away whilst still a school Boy at the standed and genuine quality of british music, you know the rest and were we went from there!.
it was up and up and Glen took full advantage that fact .
He loves fresh sounds with hooky songs to lift the mind and soul, & great chord structure plus melody and tone... pop, to hip hop, ballads, MOR radio friendly, to not radio friendly Jazz and jazz funk plus soul music , it all just had to be new interesting and different. You can identify Glens Vocals plus song-writing & production which was inspired by all the greats both from the UK & USA.
