Edwin Birdsong - Funtaztik (1981)

An underrated organist, Edwin Birdsong worked with numerous artists in varied musical situations. His background was in gospel; Birdsong was the son of a minister and grew up in a strict fundamentalist environment. He joined the Los Angeles Community Choir, where he met such artists as Merry Clayton, Billy Preston, and D.J. Rogers, and eventually served in Vietnam. Birdsong later played in clubs in Germany, entertaining service personnel. After moving to New York, he headed a trio that played blues and jazz. Birdsong attended the Manhattan School of Music and Juilliard as a composition major. He later played with the Youth Symphony Orchestra before signing with Polydor in 1971. He issued two albums of funk, rock, fusion, and jazz, What It Is and Supernatural, in 1971 and 1973. Birdsong issued one album for Bamboo, Dance of Survival, in 1975, then recorded Edwin Birdsong for Philadelphia International in 1979, which included the single "Phiss-Phizz." But Birdsong had more success teaming with vibist/vocalist Roy Ayers. The two co-wrote the songs "Running Away" and "Freaky Deaky," and Birdsong co-produced Ayers' LPs Vibrations, Lifeline, and Let's Do It. They also collaborated on productions and songs for the group Eighties Ladies. Birdsong recorded the singles "Perfect Love" in 1984 and "Son of a Rapper Snapper" in 1985 for Salsoul, and continued session work with many artists, including Stevie Wonder.

Jermaine Jackson - You Are Not Alone: The Musical Live (2014)

"This is what Michael wants!" says Jermaine firmly. Somehow, as he gamely, but only semi-successfully warbles his way through both Michael's and his vocal parts of 'ABC,' I have my doubts. At least he seems to be singing live (as opposed to earlier lip-synched renditions of 'Do What You Do' and various others).

This is about 70 minutes into this intimate, Paris theatre show with the focus shifted to the tunes. The first hour also has tunes, but consists mainly of Jermaine talking to a slide show, telling the Jacksons' story in a very stilted manner as after every half sentence, a translator repeats the narrative in French.

If you've read Jermaine's book - or any other about Michael Jackson - you won't learn anything new from his talk, but it's the more interesting part of the show unless his singing MJ covers over playback floats your boat. I'm amazed this show and/or it's recording got the required clearance as despite the cabaret sensibilities of some of the renditions, it sounds like Jermaine uses portions of the actual recorded backing tracks from the likes of 'Scream,' 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' and 'Rock With You.' His voice actually suits the smooth jam of the latter but if he really wanted to impress us he'd have brought his bass (of which he was always a brilliant player). Ultimately, you get the feeling that as a cathartic outpouring, the audience get less out of this than the still grieving Jermaine Jackson himself.
