The arrangements and instrumentation here is not as lush as on her debut album, but it's the belief in this music that makes it work. Some of the material could quite easily be reworked - "Red", in particular, is a commercial, big sing-along chorus type of song, but it suffers from it's brevity.
Musically reminiscent in places of "Purple Rain", another verse, an additional chorus and middle eight would make it a classic.
Still unreleased to this day, this material would make a perfectly acceptable "commercial bootleg", similar to Prince's "Crystal Ball" release, although Jill has no plans for this to happen. Produced by Nile Rogers. Produced by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Released as a single, and appeared on Sakamoto's "Beauty" album. Saxophonist Candy Dulfer stated in an interview around this time that she had been at Paisley Park recording tracks for the new Jill Jones album.
I suspect that a release was closer to fruition than any of us realised, since a video for the track "Boom Boom" was even filmed, suggesting that this was to be the debut single from the album. Laurent television spot. Produced by Trevor Horn. Produced by The Time. Co-written with Paolo Rusticelli. This song was issued as a single credited to Jill Jones , and also appeared on a compilation album released on Radikal Records called "The Best of Flying".

Labels: Paul Hardcastle. Sunday, March 12, Bar-Kays. Amazingly, the Bar-Kays not only regrouped but prospered, evolving into a popular funk ensemble over the course of the '70s. With help from house drummer Al Jackson, Jr. That spring, the Bar-Kays cut their first single, "Soul Finger," a playful, party-hearty instrumental punctuated by a group of neighborhood children shouting the title.
Producer Allen Jones began to take an interest in the group and became their manager and mentor; even better, Otis Redding chose them as his regular backing band that summer. Unfortunately, disaster struck on December 10, He, his road manager, and four members of the Bar-Kays were killed. Trumpeter Ben Cauley survived the crash, and bassist James Alexander had not been on the flight; they soon assumed the heavy task of rebuilding the group.
Adding insult to injury, the third and final single released by the original lineup, a cover of the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night," was virtually ignored. Still, they were unable to land a hit of their own, and Cunningham and Gordon both left the group in ; the latter was replaced on keyboards by Winston Stewart. After playing on Isaac Hayes' hit Shaft soundtrack, Cauley and Toles both joined his backing band permanently, and were replaced by trumpeter Charles "Scoop" Allen and guitarist Vernon Burch.
This new lineup took a more mainstream funk direction, scoring a minor hit with a takeoff on Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" dubbed "Copy Cat. Armed with new guitarist Lloyd Smith who'd joined when Burch left in , new drummer Michael Beard, and trombonist Frank Thompson, the Bar-Kays signed with Mercury in and began the most commercially productive phase of their career. Follow-up Flying High on Your Love was the band's first gold record, and Money Talks -- a Fantasy reissue of some previously unreleased Stax material -- produced another Top Ten hit in "Holy Ghost" the following year.
All of those albums, save for As One, went gold. In , Sherman Guy and Charles Allen left the group, presaging a more commercial direction in keeping with the urban sound of the early '80s. Dodson and original bassist James Alexander put together a short-lived new version of the Bar-Kays for the album 48 Hours, released on the small Basix label.
