Here for the first time you have a track that comes with a fascinating story. Recorded in the late 70’s, but never released, this track was thought to be lost.
But let’s go back to the beginning. Rose was originally a member of family affair called „The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose“ heralding from Dania Beach, Florida. The group had early success with a recording contract with United Artists, which produced two albums in 1972 & 73 respectively, plus an extensive number of single release taken from these albums, which included the million seller  ‘Too late to turn back now’. But Rose’s story starts even further back, singing solo and as part of the Gospel Jazz Singers in the late 60’s, with even a solo appearance on The Ed Sullivan TV show. In 1970, at her mother’s request, she returned home to form the family group and to use her contacts in the music industry to move things forward. The group stayed together until 1976. Soon after Rose returned to a solo career, but few further releases appeared. 
During this time she recorded a number of tracks in Miami at The Music factory with producer Shirley Cowell, who later received a grammy nomination for her work with Lena Horne. Arrangement was done by gold-certified studio veteran Frank Owens. By this time the Disco sound had taken over much of the music industry and these tracks had a Hi-Energy feel that was much in favour at the time. This session produced the titles ‘Here’ and ‘I want you to stay with me’ but no release was forthcoming. For many years they became almost forgotten, until the next chapter of the story.
In 2018 DJ/Collector and KitKat, Berlin regular Dave Thorley saw an acetate disc for sale online, credited to Rose Cornelius and realised when listening to it that this was indeed Sister Rose of the aforementioned group and purchased it, initially with the intention of simply playing it in his DJ sets. Then in conversation with the Disco Bizarre crew from KitKat, he offered it to them for their record label. Rose, in turn, was contacted and she was kind enough to give permission for its release and additional contemporary remixes / re-edits. New York producer veteran DJ Duke and San Francisco Disco authority Jim Hopkins landed on the bill. You now have the results of this story on Disco Bizarre’s latest release - a story that has spanned fifty plus years. I hope you enjoy the outcome. We at Disco Bizarre are excited about the final results and happy to be able to share it with you.

DIE by the Natural Curve : 1st Single (Larse Remix)

I Die is the first release from The Natural Curve on the Best’s Friends Music label.

When the track was posted on Soundcloud, as a demo a few years ago, it caught the ear of legendary producer Niles Rodgers who simply tweeted: “That’s an awesome song!”

The tune has been revamped and updated by the Natural Curve, with the addition of guitar, percussion, and a funky-assed bass line.

I Die features the extraordinary vocal talents of the mighty Polly Gibbons; a Ronnie Scott’s and Birdland Jazz Club regular, with fans on both sides of the Atlantic. She has collaborated with the Natural Curve on several tracks.

BIO:

The Natural Curve is musician, songwriter, and producer Paul Cullen.

I Die is a typical Natural Curve track: a groovy collaboration with friends and musicians; a catchy ear-worm, packed with live performance, soul, funk, and character.

The Natural Curve repertoire is diverse, with downbeat, nujazz, d&b, house, and funk all featuring in the portfolio. The one thing that ties them all together: the groove. It has to be groovy. ‘All my best friends are bass players…’

The Natural Curve said: “Disco never died. It’s a musical perennial. There is always space for a new ‘classic’ and I Die is exactly that; slipping into the essential wedding DJ set and setting the dance floor on fire.

“The track is as groovy AF. It’s also a dead cert funeral favourite for the recently deceased, with a sense of humour.”

“The bottom line: If Nile Rodgers thinks it’s “awesome”, all other opinions are frankly irrelevant. The God of Disco has spoken and he likes it. That’s the t-shirt.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to kittens that the gorgeous Daniel Best is releasing this track. Our paths first crossed when I was signed to Frankfurt label Infracom Records, with the band Taxi. He has always been a musical pioneer, with a great ear for serious talent.

“I Die is a track that’s been on my hard drive for a while; a nagging, grooving, funky, utterly irresistible tune, with a peerless vocal from Polly, that you know is destined for the dance floor.”
