this sounds like a different recording than from the vinyl

Just got this message today, very nice. Look forward to the CD.

"Hi. I'm Cheryl Smith, the widow of Johnny "Hammond" Smith. I saw that you had placed one of his tracks here in SoundCloud. COOL. It's always good to see people keeping his memory alive. I'm doing the same thing, as I plan on releasing a CD of his unpublished music by April of next year. If you'd like, you can follow the project on his Facebook page at this address. Thanks for all that you do in keeping his music alive"

This is one of many early  80's "Garage Band" tracks from Chicago.  While most of the U.S.  had Hip Hop - Treacherous 3 Funky 4 +One, Cassanova Rud and Cold Crush Bros., all we had was Grandmaster Flash. They played almost "0" hip hop, but groups like Magnum Force, Superior Movement, and these sounds from Marin Dumas, could be heard via cassette, odd hours on the radio, or at "sets", or basement parties. Enjoy.

Attitude, Belief & Determination - Martin L. Dumas, Jr.

Demo track by singer & songwriter Gary Taylor who wrote and recorded it in 1985, for a planned second album on A&M, but eventually gave the song to Alfie Silas in '86, and then a year later to The Whispers, who had a big hit with their version. 

" I did this demo back in the early 80's as the start of what was to be a second album on A&M records... but they said the song wasn't a hit. My Brother's The Whispers thought differently, and said yes we want to record it... and we want you to produce it... the rest is history. 1.3 million + copies sold and it's easy to see why A&M records is no longer around... like Scotty and Walter told me..."This song is timeless"... what a Blessing".

Shoot out to Gary Taylor, born Los Angeles, California, an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer.
