A good few of you appear to love our dance down memory lane, so here is another one, just for you!
We bring you, Let Me Love You/Love You Forever, by Bunny Mack! Just listen to the bass, the guitar, the disco ‘pwnpwn’ (lol, its the only word we could find for it! Doesn’t it make you want to put down your jollof rice and shake your bom bom?! Yes. Yes, it does.
We found this version, it has all of the vinyl scratches and jumps. The song wouldn’t sound the same without the vinyl ‘swoosh’, right?
In 1981, his first LP “Let Me Love You” became a disco hit. By using session musicians such as Alfred Bannerman, George Lee, Jake Sollo, and Papa Mensah, his disco/funk/calypso fusion featured English lyrics to a thumping dance beat and as a result, Bunny Mack was voted musician of the year by Africa Music magazine and received a gold disc for “Let Me Love You“.
BRAAAAPS. BLAAAAM, as my Bajan fam says. Cecil Bunting (really?!) MacCormack. We. Salute. You…
As have others… there are many remixes of this song out there, including one from wonder production team, Bugz In The Attic and Wale. He sampled ‘Let Me Love You’ in the song, ‘My Sweetie’. Check the video below:
