Good morning 🌅. I usually really don't go for this late 80s-early 90s lite department store funk kinda sound, but I really just can't help myself with what the very short-lived all-female vocal septet of The Power of Seven cooked up with "Mockingbird," a song first made famous by the brother-sister duo of Inez and Charlie Foxx in the early 60s, and then made famous again by Carly Simon and James Taylor in the mid-70s. This tune's definitely chipper to the point of being aged gouda, but if you ever wanted something to accompany you while you tried on some Keds, this kinda feels like the epitome of that whole vibe 😅.
Salmon was a band from Gilroy, California, combining an eclectic mix of rap, funk, metal, etc. I saw them play many times back in the day. Always a fun, energetic live show. This song in the video, called "Q," and "Voltron" were always my favorites.
