LO''S PICK OF THE DAY - "Love Come Down" by Evelyn King.

 



Originally featured on Inside MusiCast

A shock to the core for me tonight is hearing of another great passing on. . . Kashif Saleem, aka Michael Jones.
Listening to great L.A. stations in the early 80's like 103.9 KACE or 102.3's KJLH, I could depend on them to play the latest in underground funk and soul. And I can tell you that Kashif's music and my single days went hand in hand.

being one of those who was constantly on rotation for me. And for my Pick tonight, I was torn between choosing the Gospel, Smooth, Jazz, Funk and Soulful sound of "I'm In Love," to the funky pop; "Love Come Down." Evelyn's voice is so cool with a bit of raspy to it. It's honest and raw.
Written by Kashif and produced by Morrie Brown, this song truly is the essence of Los Angeles in 1982. . . Funky, Fun and Free! Trying to make a date with that cute guy or girl on the L.A. freeways, holding our Paddle Talk signs up from our windows with the words; "Smile," or "Let's Meet," all while you got the jams going.
That's what Kashif gave us. . . . a soundtrack with a great groove and so much more.
"Love Come Down," is my jam all the way. When I am feeling good and want to sway with my funky moves, when the sun is out or when I need a "pick me up," it's this one, turned up and I'm back . . . in 1982.
There will never be another like Kashif.
Thank you for giving us the funk.
You were such a talent!
I just can't write anymore.
