REISSUE: "Lovin’ You Is A Pleasure” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rick James

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.
