"Mysterious Vibes" originally appeared on The Blackbyrds LP Action which was released on Fantasy records in 1977 and featured Ray Parker Jr. on Guitar and Ollie Brown on Drums. Over the years the track has been sampled countless times by rap artists most notably by Kurious on "I'm Kurious" and the Almighty RSO for his track "One In The Chamba". Most recently this track was covered by Cro-Magnon on their "Mellow Out & Acoustic EP" on Jazzy Sport Records out of Japan. A great track for those times when you just want to kick back and relax...

A little something for your Sunday afternoon...

"Corazon" was originally done by Carol King in 1973 on her Fantasy LP, which included saxophone work by none other than Tom Scott. Here is a great cover version of the track by Ltg Exchange which was released as a 7" single on Fania records in 1973 and later released in full form on their self titled LP which came out in 1974.
