Influences: rock, blues, jazz, gospel and soul all rolled up into one...likes a wide range of acts, i.e. Jeff Beck, Midnight Star, Rick Derringer, Aretha Franklin, Babyface, Gladys Knight, Edgar Winter, The O'Jays, Stanley Clarke, ,Common, Mary J. Blige, Chante.. Moore, Anthony Hamilton, Kirk Whallum, Chaka Khan, Stephanie Mills, LL Cool J, OutKast and Lauryn Hill.
These are not necessarily influences, but more like the musical artist that I like, and all said and done, they create a landscape to my audio diversity.
When I first started realizing that I was drawn to music as a kid, I remember hearing acts like: Lou Rawls. Sam Cooke, B.B. King, Cannoball Adderly, Dinah Washington, Mahalia Jackson, Shirley Scott, Wes Montgomery (whom my Mom knew personally) and Brook Benton. I then gravitated to Motown soul with The Supremes, The Temptations, The Four Tops, etc, then Stax with Otis Redding, Booker T. and The M.G.s, Carla Thomas, soulster Wilson Pickett and then the British invasion that took the US by storm in the mid-Sixties - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Dave Clark Five, The Yardbirds, The Animals and Herman's Hermits. I also liked American act Paul Revere and The Raiders featuring Mark Lindsay.
I was all over the place with musical tastes. They tell me as a real young kid I liked Elvis Presley - wow, I don't recall much of that, thank goodness (smiles).
Sounds Like: you tell me and we will both know
