The Keith Thompson Project - Rhythm of Life [Underground Solution]

With a career that spans five decades, Keith Thompson has been around a lot longer than many are aware. In fact this particular track has a much longer history than I knew about given that it was the remixes by Soulfuric's Brian Tappert & Marc Pomeroy that brought it to my attention in 2002. Following a wee bit of digging (and a bit of prompting from Keith himself), I discovered that there were Tony Humphries mixes from 1993 and that even those weren't the orginal. The track had in fact been refashioned from the original by Humphries to focus more on the background vocals from India, Debbie Cole & Connie Harvey. In this instance I've homed in on the "UBP Remix" although the the other mixes are all fully deserving of your consideration too. A selection of the mixes can be found and purchased on Traxsource (link provided). Amazing production and outstanding vocals make this an essential track even after the passage of all those years.
