When I met the amazing Ricardo Barros in Sao Paulo at a private jam session, I knew we had to connect and there was definitely musical magic! He recorded some takes for my track and I did a piano arrangement to his song (his compositions are INSANE, btw). This is a special edition version that was created for Soul In The Horn's 10th anniversary, 3LP compilation. B-side \"T.G.I.F. (Thank God It's Funky)\" is by far the funkiest track I've ever created, to date! I just got hit with inspiration, all of a sudden, and I wasn't listening to anything prior to this. Of course, funk influences flavored this from legends like James Brown, George Duke, and some Jimmy Smith for the organ grinding I did. I can't think of a better start of Summer\/BBQ weekend\/Soul Train line, old school vibe than \"Thank God It's Funky!\"... a twist on the day it was released as everyone gets ready for the weekend to unwind from the work week and let loose!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ahmed Sirour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42766192508999,"sku":"46277121","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4515507-3597378.jpg?v=1778531010","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/sirour-ahmed-brooklyn-bossa-7-inch-single","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
