Editorial Notes:

Keni Burke is plaing bass on Sly Stone's "
Back On The Right Track"-album from '79. The highlight of the album is "From Me To You", it's an instumental and very bass-driven. The whole album is actually very bass-driven. A funny thing is the begining of "Shuffle", it sounds very much like Stivie's "Higher Ground". A curious coincidence... Dark Horse Records is/was George Harrison's (the beatles) label. Keni Burke got first singed to it with the group The Stairsteps, which was a burke-family-group. The first singel from the album was "Shuffle", it came out 11/10/77. It had "From Me To You" as a b-side. The second singel was "Keep On Singing" with "Day" as a b-side. It came in 1978. The album was released 16/08/1977 (all dates is for the US-releases). Other Keni Burke albums: You're The Best '81 Changes '82 Nothin' But Love '98
I saw a dance that they called the hustle But it looked like to me, yeah They were doing the shuffle - Keni Burke, "Shuffle" Go to the Funky Discography or to the Main Page.
