During the summer youth program of 1970 and '71 at St Paul's Catholic church
a young Tunnie Smith was singled out by Father George Artist for his outstanding singing
abilities. 
He was soon introduced to Joe Delpit and Reginal Brown to sing along with their show and
dance band "The 13Th Amendments. It didn't take long before Tunnie was a full member of the 
band and became a featured singer performing throughout Louisiana.
After a year and a half of performing at nightclubs, military bases and universities Tunnie landed
a record deal with Rick Hall's Fame/UA record label.
His first single from 1973 was a wonderful mid-tempo number entitled "Finders Aren't Always Keepers"
flipped with "Do That To Me"
It gained National distribution and had some good success. Tunnie left Fame records and was 
introduced to Stax record executives Al Bell and John Smith.
After signing with Stax Tunnie met legendary writer and performer David Porter where they recorded
an album which was scheduled for release around 73/74.Unfortunately Staxs association with CBS came to a halt
and the project got shelved.
Tunnie went home and carried on performing around the Louisiana area with his new band Sweet Music Orchestra"
Fast forward to 1983 Tunnie whilst recording some vocals at River City Recording met Chicago producer
and arranger George "Paco" Patterson.  George was musical director and had worked with The Isley Brothers
Wilson Pickett and many other well known artists.
During this period Tunnie along with George formed a great partnership and along with some top session musicians
record some incredibly lush, well produced and atmospheric songs
The A Side "Dancing On Da Cloud" kicks of with female backing vocals and cascading strings layered over each other
to create a full bodied 2 Step Rare Groove classic, which we can only compare in the highest esteem to an
out take from Marvin Gaye or Leon Ware.  It oozes sheer class with rasping horns and Tunnie showing he 
hasn't lost any of the singing prowess he got singled out for as a young boy in1971.
"I Found A Miracle" is a slightly slower affair than the A side but still kicks a punch. It starts with pounding drums
and again those cascading strings whilst Tunnie's scatting vocals flow until the verse arrives.
It is a powerful beat ballad-esque song that sits perfectly back to back with "Dancing On Da Cloud."
We at Super Disco Edits are very excited to be able to bring you the first instalment of Mr TUNNIE SMITH!

This is a track I created using the underlying technology for Infinite Packs, a new plugin coming soon from Audialab.

Infinite Packs is a sample-based music production tool that uses AI to generate inspiring sample packs

you pick the kind of music you want to sample, and we give you sample chops and drums. sometimes the outputs suck, but a lot of the time they are pretty interesting

just regenerate until you're moved by something, then download your kit

pretty simple idea, but it fundamentally changed how i think and feel about sample-based production, and i think it'll do the same for you

SINGER SONGWRITER JADE HARRELL RELEASES NEW MUSIC, PREPS ALBUM.

JACKSONVILLE, FL (June 13, 2013) - It’s been nearly 4 years since we were introduced to the music and artistry of Jade Harrell. Her captivating vocal and songwriting prowess first appeared on projects from veteran Hip Hop duo GRITS and soon led to collaborative efforts with Toby Mac, Ayiesha Woods, and Pigeon John, culminating with her pulsating freshman release - Class Reject. 

Fast forward to 2013 and Jade’s absence from music has been more like an incubation period of living and experiencing life’s many curves. Several small writing projects and a college degree later, Jade is once again ready to create waves in the music sphere. Her new single Superman is an ode to a timeless era of music when the rhythm section commanded a head nod. The Studio Caffé produced record sounds off with a blaring horn section as Jade delivers transparent lyrics laying out her description of an undying commitment to love.

Jade Harrell heads back into the studio this summer to begin work on her sophomore release while preparing for her fall festival tour.
