Cher - Believe

I knew Sparks as a two-hit wonder from the 1970's. However, thanks to Netflix, I watched "The Sparks Brothers" documentary on their career which started in 1966 and they have been influencing, collaborating and filling auditoriums and stadiums since having produced 25 albums of quirky songs over their long career. . 

I am a belated Sparks convert!. 

This hit from 1994 which made #7 in Germany.

Sparks - When do I get to sing 'My Way'

Wikipedia says the Gabrielle's 2001 hit, "Rise", "takes extensively from Bob Dylan's 1973 song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", albeit reportedly with Bob Dylan's permission. 

That is probably the understatement of the 21st century and I took the two songs and mashed them together to find that only the melody and lyrics had changed. Everything else aligned perfectly.

So this is hopefully an interesting curio for Gabrielle, Guns N Roses and Bob Dylan fans alike.

Gabrielle - Rise/Knocking On Heaven's Door (mash-up)

Herb Albert's classic 1979 Disco Hit; mostly played when the pizzas were being served or when you wanted to give the punters one last slow disco dance before turning the cleaning lights on. 

The advantage of this track was that you could both slow dance with your partner if things were going well, or dance awkwardly apart from each other longing for the bright lights being turned on before beating a path to the toilets and planning your escape! :-)

Herb Albert - Rise

A roots revival with soul at its core, Rebel & Lovers is the powerful new album from O.B.A.65 — a vibrant blend of reggae rhythms, rich live instrumentation, and deeply human storytelling.

From the joyful sway of Sweet Reggae Ride to the haunting intimacy of Kisses in Silence, and the anthemic rise of Rebel & Lovers (Eternal), this 10-track collection weaves love and resistance into a single thread. It features horns, acoustic textures, smooth harmonies, and dub-flavored depth — always grounded in classic reggae but reaching into modern soul, lovers rock, and jazz.

Each song explores connection — between people, cultures, and generations — in the face of struggle, distance, and time. Whether you're dancing in the sun or reflecting in the dark, this album is a reminder: Love is rebellion. And rebellion, when rooted in love, is eternal.Suggested Album Cover Concept:
Visual Style:
Modern-vintage, with warm earth tones (deep reds, golds, greens, browns) and subtle texture like aged vinyl or canvas. Think soulful and timeless — not cliché reggae, but rich with roots.

Main Imagery:

Two silhouetted figures standing back to back, holding hands — one facing a rising sun, the other facing a burning city. Love and resistance, side by side.

The background is split: one side natural and warm (palm trees, a calm ocean), the other urban and turbulent (graffiti walls, protest imagery).

A soft lion or heartbeat symbol in the sky or clouds — barely visible but present.

Typography:

Rebel & Lovers in bold serif or hand-lettered script, slightly distressed.

"O.B.A.65" clean and minimal beneath it.

Optional: gold foil effect on the title for a premium, timeless look.

Vibe:
The cover should feel like both a revolution and a love letter. Something you'd hang as art, not just stream.

A Lucky Dube Tribute Song From Gramps Morgan

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 3,000,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance songwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
