ReStructure Mix Update (7/29/23): “Sophisticated Lady” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Natalie Cole

Natalie Cole is a soul/pop vocalist who began her recording career in 1975 and continued onto 2013 and the passed in 2015. Her music is a respectable catalogue of classics, dance tracks and standards. “Sophisticated Lady” is from her 1976 project titled “Natalie” and was produced by Gene Barge. This soul fantasy gives us the style of a vibrant onlooker who describes a woman who brings attention to herself with elegance. It is a nice early groove that gives an introduction to a lady who eventually conquers the pop world with ballads and dance floors with many soul/funk/disco tracks where she adds her resonance.

I have taken the album version of “Sophisticated Lady” and re-funked the track for this ReStructure Mix. Adding a new street beat foundation to lift the groove in a new way. This ReStructure Mix was requested by Ray Duran, Jr. and is dedicated to his love for the music in its entirety. Thank you, Ray!
