Continuing the goodness from last week, I thought I'd kick it off with Teena's Behind The Groove chosen by G-Force , Change's Paradise, Sharon Redd's Beat The Street as requested by Ricky, and T-Connection's Take It To The Limit requested by Big Daddy. I then wanted to get into a little SOLAR sound, so I paired The Whispers' Rock Steady with Midnight Star's Midas Touch.

One of the great singles from Heatwave's Candles LP continues the mix with Big Guns. If you're familiar with Cameo then you know Tomi Jenkins, who released a solo LP in 1989 solo LP entitled Tomi. The track Do Ya was chosen for this week. Shalamar's Help Me leads the way to Luther Vandross' Better Love, a request from no other than Rodney L. Luther is followed up from one of my favorite cuts from Chaka Stronger Than Before from the LP I Feel For You. Earth Wind and Fire's You And I and Patrice Rushen's Settle For My Love are great quiet storm cuts that end the mix.

Special thanks again to G-Force, Big Daddy, Rodney L and Ricky McCarthy. Feedback like this keeps it flowin' every week. Got requests? Send an email to ejflavors at gmail dot com.
