Hugh Masekela "The Boy's Doin' It" Casablanca [1975]
Don't Go Lose It Baby Jive 1982
George Spruce:
Hugh Masekela is also one of the funk/jazz fusion artists,
best known from the '70s like with songs called ``The Boy's
Doin' It'' and so on. This one is very mid-80's like (84) and
sounds housey. Hugh plays trumpet on this one and overall the
track is very dancable in the way how the groove and lyrics
go together. I recently bought a CD album out on Emporio
called: ``Hugh Masekela / African Breeze: '80s Masekela''
that features 12 songs from the 84-85 period.
On that CD there's featured two versions of `Don't Go Lose It Baby ' track:
`Stretch Mix' and `Dub Mix'. The origional 12" mix on Jive records was done by Nigel Green.
