Continuing the JmAY / Smokie Norful 'saga', I went searching to try and
find out who JmAY is and came across a slower/deeper remix, which I
think is from around 2014. It doesn't appear to have been released as I
can't find it on any of the normal outlets. However it is posted on
Reverbnation, which fortunately allows embedding so here it is.
I suspect that JmAY is actually a duo as there are two males on the cover
and I believe now that the AY is one Anthony Antonio Young who is from
Lathrop, CA (bay area).
So who is Jm? ... well the writing credits on Smokie Norful are Derek Allen (who also produced it), Smokie Norful and Jimi Morris .. so is it a coincidence that these as the same initials? Further investigation shows that there is a Jimi Morris who has released two singles in 2019 ('Jimi's Blues') and 2020 ('Leave Me Lonely') published by Rhythm Section Ent (based in L.A.) which seems to be owned by his nephew Big Mike who he has recorded with, so it could well be him?
Anthony Young's profile on Reverbnation reads:
"Anthony Antonio Young is an innovative song writer recording artist and
vocal producer & band leader, who is driven by an incredible passion
for self-expression through his art. his work is often noted for it's
unique style, elegance, and technique. Anthony has developed an exspansive
style that blends precise with old school and the new expression of music.
My band consist of some of the baddest musicians in the bay area."
"AY & THE M.O.S BAND Originates from the bay area. This diverse high
performance 5 piece group Fast paced, energetic - this group Captivates
