#Claudia lennear phew series#

Warner Brothers blew it with the labeling and should have flipped side 1 and side 2. Phew (singer), a Japanese vocalist Phew, the self-titled debut album Phew, a 1973 solo album by Claudia Lennear King Phew, a character from The Illmoor Chronicles series of childrens fantasy novels See also. Side 2 was produced entirely by Allen Toussaint with a whole new group of musicians and a brand new funk compared to side 1. Side 1 was produced by Ian Samwell, but with nothing for me to work with at all.

My favorite highlight is the fact that she was in Playboy - that's a bonus (see below) After checking both of those records I will most likely be twisting elements of both into a mix at some point too. She was also the inspiration behind the Rolling Stones hit 'Brown Suger' (1971) and David Bowie's 'Lady Grinning Soul' (1973). Once I heard the funk and soul of her voice I hit google to learn a little more about Claudia who was once an Ikette behind Ike and Tina Turner. I've used Lou Donaldson's version of 'Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky' in a handful of my mixtapes before, but now I HAVE TO chop Claudia's version in too.

Same sort of flava with that gritty soul and emotion.I think Badu would blaze this record. Claudia Lennear Phew Tracklist Hide Credits Companies, etc. When I heard 'From a Whipser to a Scream' I immediately thought it would be a great song for Erykah Badu to cover with her own unique styles. The first side is a failure with absolutely nothing for me to use, but then I flip it to side 2 and go bananas! I will definitely be twisiting in chops from at least these 4 songs: I got my hands on Claudia Lennear's 'Phew!' album from 1973, but left it sitting in the crates for a long time before I finally took it out and dug through it (thanks to my Knicks getting their asses handed to 'em by Houston).
