Speaking to DSG promotions' Gary Van Den Bussche yesterday regarding the new
single by Lynn Davis he mentioned one of the multitude of tracks on which she has
provided backing vocals.
The song is "So Easy" from 101 North's self-titled debut album in 1988
which also appeared on the follow up album "Forever Yours" in 1991. It was
also released as a single on Capitol in 1988.
101 North only released the two albums and three singles and seems to have consisted of four session singers who had worked with Duke.
The album was written, arranged, produced and performed on by George Duke
so no surprise that Ms Davis also featured, but the lead singers on this track are Carl Carwell (EWF 1994-97) and Josie James.
You may or may not be familiar
with Josie James but if you've ever listened to Stevie Wonder's "Another
Star" (who hasn't?) then she was his backing vocalist as well as on many
other artists recordings including Patrice Rushen, George Duke (of course),
The Jacksons, Randy Brown, Brothers Johnson, The Crusaders, Joe Sample,
Wayne Henderson and even Heaven 17's "Penthouse & Pavement", Wham's debut album and "Inner Feelings" for Billy Ocean (so she must have been in the UK for a couple of years in the early 80s) amongst many
others. From 1998 she toured with Burt Bacharach and was with George Duke until his death in 2013.
