ROCK Sex: "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" - Horace Silver > Earth Wind & Fire > Steely Dan > Stevie Wonder > Madlib



ROCK Sex says any major groove compels you.

Today, the relay hand-off that led to "Rikki Don't Lose That Number".

_______________


"Send it off in a letter to yourself."


Influenced by Bossa Nova from Brazil, Jazz pianist Horace Silver did this tribute to his heritage.

HORACE SILVER -"Song for My Father" (1965)



One great turn deserves another... or five.

Listen for its influence on the bass in this song.

EARTH WIND & FIRE -"Clover" (1973)



And the Piano intro of this song.

STEELY DAN -"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" (1974)



And the horns of this song.

(This has one of the funniest Stevie intro skits ever!)

STEVIE WONDER -"Don't You Worry About a Thing" (1974)



And the groove of this Raggamuffin HipHop track.

US3 -"Eleven Long Years" (1993)



And full circle with this Hip Hop/ Jazz cover version.

MADLIB -"Song For My Father" (2003)
