Tony Adamo's New Strokeland Records Release
Christopher
Fred E. Harris, Los Angeles, CA
The soul funk artistry of Strokeland recording artist Tony Adamo is
about to hit the radio airwaves in the form of a previous hit song
written by Tower of Power (TOP) co-founders Stephen "Doc" Kupka and
Emilio Castillo. TOP members, Doc Kupka, Tom Politzer and returning
member Mic Gillette add their funky horns to this cover song, another
funk pop hit to be.
In keepin' his ear to the street, guitarist/producer Jerry Stucker
added R&B/Soul -legend drummer, James Gadson (Bill Withers, Herbie
Hancock and Quincy Jones),The funked-out organist Neil Larson (Gregg
Allman, B.B. King, Whitney Houston), and the soulful playing of Reggie
McBride on bass (Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Keb'Mo').
Jim Santella of L.A. JAZZ SCENE MAGAZINE digs Adamo's strong original
style and says, "He sings with the bold character of a man who knows
how to entertain, recalling pop singers Tom Jones, David Clayton-
Thomas and Brook Benton, as well as jazz singers Al Jarreau and Mark
Murphy." With Tony Adamo's smooth funk vocals, the triple threat of
TOP horns and the rhythm section applying pressure to the groove, this
song will be the sound of the summer. Horn Driven Radio (Raoul
Fernandez) will be the first U.S. radio station to break this new MP3,
"This Time it's Real."
