The new single from S-Tone Inc will appear on the new vinyl album 'Body & Soul - The Disco Experience' to be released in spring 2022 and is a remix version by Stefano Tirone himself of the track featuring the vocals of Laura Fedele. In tune with the recent remixes the new version of has a '70s disco flavour but smoother and mid tempo that matches perfectly with the socially committed lyrics, the soulful vocals and the jazzy flute by Carlo Nicita.

The 1970 debut album from Kool and the Gang scored a couple of hits with “The Gangs Back Again” and the title cut, but more importantly, it heralded the arrival of what was to become a juggernaut on the R&B scene. This all-instrumental record is years away from the commercial successes of “Jungle Boogie” and “Celebration,” and a few light years away stylistically, too. But that unique mixture of jazz, funk, and R&B punctuated by those tremendous horn arrangements (and some great drum breaks) that characterizes Kool and the Gang at its best is here in full force. That’s why original copies of Kool and the Gang go for a “kool” sum. It’s a funk classic you need to check out if you haven’t heard it lately…purple vinyl pressing to help you get on down!
Saxophonist Melissa Aldana will make her Blue Note debut with the March 4 release of 12 Stars.
