A new Smooth Jazz, R&B duo is on the scene. This new duo consist of two old school veterans producer Chuckii Booker and flute player Darnell White. Darnell composed and wrote a few songs for the Love and Unlimited Orchestra and for Barry White himself. For Barry White's album 'Beware' he wrote the song "tell me who do you love". Darnell about this: i remember writing that song at my sisters house because Barry needed a couple more minutes of a song to complete the album, and i put that one together for him. Barry always loved that song!! For the Album 'Welcome Aboard (feat. Webster Lewis)' by the Love Unlimited Orchestra Darnell wrote and composed two songs 'Strange' and 'My Fantasies'. Chuckii is a well known producer, arranger and artist. He recorded two albums 'Chuckii' and Niice 'n Wiild in the late 80s and early 90s. |
