Quincy and John Bettis were wise to retain the feel of Porcaro's demo, and Quincy also has this ability to know magic when he hears it and doesn't want to tamper with what makes the song work. Bettis worked in some of the lyrics from the demo as well, although he reshaped it from its original topic of a schoolyard bully (which is what Porcaro is referring to regarding his daughter--he's told the story many times).Funny how close the music on Porcaro's demo of "Human Nature" is to the final recording; the arrangement is pretty much identical!
Well, look at what I stumbled across...
Ultraje a Rigor is a Brazilian rock band that formed in 1980 as a cover band for 60s rock, Beatles, new wave, etc. The album that "Mae" is from also features the Green Hornet theme, "Walk, Don't Run," Rawhide," "Sleep Walk" and "Pipeline" (a pair of popular rock instrumentals that we've all heard at some point), "Perfidia," "Caravan," and the theme from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
And all this is from clicking the link in Roon Player...
Wilson came to our university (Humboldt State) round about '91/'92 and worked over our lab band. The charts he brought were great -- but many of us were bummed (and really didn't know what to think) when he pulled out a chart of The Doors' Light My Fire. Just could not get into the song or its arrangement for a lab band.Another excellent Gerald Wilson album
I listened to about half of the album and it is similar. They have a "tough guy" look on the cover, but they're having a lot of fun with the music. Enjoyable listen!Sorta like what Link Wray and the Wraymen would sound like today...cool...
There's nothing "tough" about a group of hombres looking at their phones, LoL. But, yes, it's an enjoyable listen!They have a "tough guy" look on the cover...Enjoyable listen!
Oh I know it! Yeah, it has a little of a K-Tel vibe to it. There is Latin percussion throughout, but there isn't much "rock" to be found on the record.(Ha! At first glance, I though the LP cover was a counterfeit given the stylized LATIN ROCK is not consistent with RCA's art department offerings for their non-rock LPs in '67.)
