The
king of “punk-funk” is the man, Rick James. His brand of funk is the
heavy bass, rockin’ guitars and his funky and irresistible delivery.
“Lovin’ You Is A Pleasure” is from James’ 1979 album “Fire It Up” –
which also features his big disco/funk hit “Love Gun”. The connection
that Rick James made between funk and disco is a natural cause with his
arrangements. His brand never left the soul arena when his ballads were
present also. “Lovin’ You Is A Pleasure” is a nice dance track that
incorporates all of James’ funk with light disco elements. It is a
rolling and slamming love song that pulls the most out of what this
talented artist has.
I
have taken the album version of “Lovin’ You Is A Pleasure” and created a
ReStructure Mix for a trip back down funk lane. This edit uses more of
the bongos and percussion to their limit and extends the track for a
more satisfying experience.
