Imagination from The Brooklyn Bronx & Queens Band on Capitol ~1982

Written by Kae Williams produced by Jacques Fred Petrus from the All Night Long album, 21 Billboard Hot Black singles chart

Luther Vandross ~ Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now ~ Epic ~ 1995

One of the many great things about doing a radio show is that we get to play tracks we probably wouldn’t play live – I’d always play the McFadden & Whitehead version at a gig but I thought it would be fun to give Luther’s version a spin on this weeks show. It’s taken from his 1994 “Songs “album – a collection of covers of classic tracks that got him nominations in 4 Grammy categories. It was released a single over here in 1995 and made number 22.
