I remember blaring this on cassette tapes carrying my boom box.  Thanks for the flashback. 

1988 Top 40, a playlist by Pablo Alejandro Carbaja

Alright, here's the final product. Had to update some vocals and instruments.  This is definitely the best cover I have ever done and I am so proud of myself. Thankfully, I feel as though I've given the song justice. I pay homage to the one and ONLY KING of Freestyle/Dance Music, Mr. George LaMond. I'm thankful to have this opportunity and his blessings with the cover. Download, like, share, repost and most of all... ENJOY!

Much Love,

Honey To A Bee (Latin Rascals Mix)

One of the most influential late 80s recording for me constructed mainly from samples. Genius work and a lot of effort put in this translated in a Grammy nomination in 1989. 
I always wanted to prolong the main theme and turn down the testosterone on the samples so I can use it today in 2013. I have used a couple of loops from the original and then overdubbed everything else as well as recreating a few sampling parts from scratch.
Enjoy and keep the funk alive.
