Was "Juicy Fruit" actually a hit in 1983? I can't imagine the smutty lyrics going down well on the radio.

I think one of the keyboards in the Mtume song might have been a Roland Jupiter-6 and or an oberheim Ob-Xa. this is just off the top of my head.

RIP James Mtume. What a career in jazz and soul.

Have been hoping that early 70s spiritual jazz lp by him might eventually get a reissue on cd. Wonder if there is any chance

Alkebu-Lan, Land Of The Blacks? I'm giving it a listen... it's a far cry from Juicy Fruit!

Kind of amazing to go from On the Corner and Get Up With It to writing and producing for Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's ("The Closer I Get To You," co-written with Reggie Lucas, who was also in Miles' band in 1972-75 and wrote and produced a lot of Madonna's debut album) and Stephanie Mills ("Never Knew Love Like This Before")...

RIP. I highly recommend listening to Questlove's podcast episode(s?) with Mtume, great stuff about his time with Miles and production/songwriting career.

This Q&A session with Stanley Crouch and him debating Miles Davis‘s music in the 1970s is absolutely incredible:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OLqid9RABs
