Life's A Breeze

John Stuart And Heavenly Music Corporation - Summer Breeze

Ripped from a crackly 12" vinyl single released on Fon Records (FON T11) in 1987 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. 'Tis about time I got around to re-ripping Chakk vocalist John Stuart's credible cover of this Isley Brothers standard. John Stuart clearly has a cracking voice well suited to classic soul. This record has not survived the years too well, and the b-side is completely knackered, but included here anyway.

John Stuart & The Heavenly Music Corporation - Summer Breeze

This one has been burning a hole in my pocket (as an upload) for quite some time, but current climatic conditions here in my little corner of the planet, prompt a posting. John Stuart was the second vocalist from Sheffield 1980s indie-funk outfit Chakk.

This quite remarkable cover version was never a hit as it was a 12" only on Chakk's Fon label. I've never been a great one for covers, but this is superb, showing off Stuart's stunning vocal range in a classy and glossy arrangement.
