REISSUE: “Scorpio” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Dennis Coffey and The Detroit Guitar Band
REISSUE: “Scorpio” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Dennis Coffey and The Detroit Guitar Band Dennis Coffey is a guitarist, composer and producer whose work on many funk, soul and disco projects mark an excellence in funky string work and style. Much of his work in the early 70s featured his brand of funk and soul which helped to make the shift into a beat-base dance formula called disco. “Scorpio” is a memorable funk piece which was released in 1971 on album “Evolution”. It is a follow up to the sound of soulful tracks by Isaac Hayes’ “Shaft” and seemed to explode during this period. I have taken the album version of “Scorpio” and focused on the bongo tracks and lead guitar to fuse a whole new ReStructure Mix experience. It plays out as deadly as the load Coffey placed in this stick of disco dynamite. It is another example of how the ‘evolution’ of funk and soul played an important end in dance music history. Dedicated to the man himself, Mr. Dennis Coffey – thanks to all of your gifts to ears and feet!
