YouTube - Paul Hardcastle - New Dawn


And here's another one not on your list.

YouTube - Jonathan BUTLER--Take Good Care of Me 1986(the highest balad

And here's another one.

YouTube - Gerald ALbright - Georgia on My Mind

And yet another;

YouTube - gato barbieri - last tango in paris


And of course George Benson;

YouTube - So This Is Love- George Benson


And then there's Bony James;

YouTube - Boney James Grazin' in the Grass Live
IMO there is no real way any of those artists (other than George Benson and perhaps Gato Barbieri) can really be considered founding fathers of the smooth jazz genre. After all, most of their smooth jazz careers began in the 1980s and 1990s. The smooth jazz careers of of George Benson and Gato Barbieri began in the 1970s.

last one for this thread



for me there are far too many greats in all musical genres to limit myself to one favorite.

this is in my opinion a great thread which caused me to think back.....back.....back

I'm off to the salt mine now, all the best.
