Search - George Duke :: Dream on

Shine On Mr.Duke!

"George Duke challanges the monster catchy,poppy,dancable funk of Earth,Wind & Fire here and aside from two redundant covers of "Reach for It" and "Someday" (neither of whitch are bad
either),tunes like the Chic-sh tital track,the synthesizer-heavy
"Framed",the dancable "Ride On Love","Shine On" and a superior
rare groove instrumental "Positive Energy" capture Duke at his
best and most memorable."Let Your Love Shine" is a great example
of Duke's ballad stylings-far superior to his other slower numbers in terms of sheer songcraft.The only trouble is that none
of "Dream On" will appeal to jazz fans;this marks Duke's full
conversion over to funk and R&B,one he would (thankfully) stick with for much of his career to follow.ENJOYYYYY!!!"
