Through his own\nlabel, Black Pegasus, and the Chi Talo series, Marc has become an in-demand DJ\nknown for his raw and eclectic sets. He joins forces with good friend, DJ's DJ and Soul\nIn The Hole head Sadar Bahar, whose name regularly tops the bill at some of the finest\nclubs and festivals around the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDigging deep once again, the pair serve up two certified secret weapons from their\nrenowned collections. Finding that sweet spot that drew out the most uplifting,\npowerful, and danceable elements of both gospel and disco, they shine a light on two\nbeauties from Myrna Summers and The Yancy Family. Tweaked and re- edited with\nstyle and consideration, they re-work the tracks with DJs and dancers in mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs Robert M. Marovich of Journal of Gospel Music puts it, \"The rise of contemporary\ngospel music in the 1970s and 1980s changed the style, if not the substance, of Black\nsacred music. Artists, including the Yancy Family and Myrna Summers, worked within\nthe groovy new sound to attract the attention of a generation growing up on rock, jazz,\npop, and soul. Bring them into the church through the music, the maxim goes, and\nthey'll stay for the sermon. Likewise, these two re-edited album tracks by Sadar Bahar\nand Marc Davis keep the gospel music heritage alive while encouraging a brand-new\ngeneration to dance through the church doors.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUp first, Myrna Summers 'So Much to Live For' channels that straight from the heart\npassion and collective joy that gospel embodies. Bursting with uplifting lyrics,\nscintillating organ melodies, and an infectious sing-along spirit, Marc and Sadar give it\na club-ready DJ edit, extending it for maximum dancefloor deliverance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe B side sees the duo work their magic on, 'Lifted Me Higher'. Written by Kevin\nYancy and taken from the Yancy Family's 1989 album From One Christian Family to\nAnother, it features vocals from siblings Kevin, Judy, and Rev. Darryl Yancy, along with\nLois Scott. The all-star team of Chicago musicians includes Sherwin (Butch) Yancy on\norgan, Michael Wade on piano and synthesizer, and Richard Gibbs (longtime\naccompanist for Aretha Franklin) on piano and bass. With a soulful boogie flavour,\ndripping in slap bass and '80s synthlines, Marc and Sadar rework the intro so it rides\nout on a section of delectable instrumental grooves, before letting the glorious vocals\nhit home.","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":51000293163286,"sku":"RMX-61510","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/827009616208de2e5d772ff157e27070.jpg?v=1769786070","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/bahar-sadar-marc-davis-disco-gospel-vol-2","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
