gay question, but is that the cuba gooding Jr.?  Of boyz in the hood fame?

 

I think it is. Websites aren't always that clear if it's Cuba Gooding (Sr) or Jr... but as far as I've been able to trace it's Jr... and he's also an actor...

You Got Me Burnin' (Ray Keith & Nookie Remix)

 

"I think it's something I feel"

 

Don't know about other mixes.

 

incidentally, if, when the synth comes in on the breakdown of this track, you hit the power off or switch it to '33' this sounds amazing! Try it! :D

inside my head by obviously high on delirious 03-sample- "inside my head" and the same sample is in the track of the same name on the mystical ep on soul : r 3

 

your obviously high tracklisting is only two tracks listed out of four and its a five tracker so i'll get mine out because one side has three tracks on it

I reckon it's Cuba Gooding Sr., father of the actor, who released a solo version of his main hit with his former band, Main Ingredient. The original "Happiness Is Just Around The Bend" with MI is from 1974, included on the band's first album "Euphrates River", and the other, the one released on a 12" with an accappella, is from 1983.

Yeah, in case that wasn't obvious before this is the actor Cuba Gooding Jr's dad on the tune. Defintely not the younger of the two

So then why does it say "Jr." in the title? That makes it un-obvious :wink:

It doesn't say it any more. I was never sure if they both had the same name or not

Just listed as 'Cuba Gooding'

 

BTW, if anyone hasn't come across zeiger.franken.de before .. it's a great resource for 'Black-Music and Eurodisco Label Catalogues (from 1977 to 1987)' :biggrin:

 

 

The singer of the track was definitely Cuba Gooding Jr (the actor)'s dad. I remember reading about him in Blues and Soul when it came out (1983) I used to have the 12inch...wicked track. It was massive on the pirates at the time.
