REISSUE: "On The Beat" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The B. B. & Q. Band





REISSUE: "On The Beat" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The B. B. & Q. Band The B. B. & Q. Band (Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens Band) is a funk/disco project between producer Jacques Fred Petrus and arranger/conductor Mauro Malavasi - a big follow up from their very successful and familiar band Change from 1980. It is a move from Italo-disco to New York disco with the help of keyboards and the groove's created from the magic guitars of Chic from the late 70s. "On The Beat" is the LP and single from the 1981 LP which is one of the finest of the period in funk and disco. Being one of the most played funk tracks of the time and a refined old-school feel. I have ReStructured the song creating a mild intro with the groove and beats kicked up for a few to give the song a burst of energy and pizazz. It is one of my favorites and one of the few I can stop singing once I start.
