Today's pick finds Mannix revisiting the 1981 soul-pop crossover by Junior Giscombe (a track which scaled the heights of the top ten in the UK and top 30 in the US). On vocals, the prolific Andre Espeut has been enlisted and delivers a soul drenched performance that captures the essence of the original nicely without ever sounding too similar. In addition to the rather funky version from Mannix & VillaLife there's a slightly smoother, mellower version from DJ Meme which also hits the spot. Forty years on it seems that now is the right time to bring "Mama Used To Say" up to date and these are certainly the right guys to do it. Very Tasty!
