So proud to have played a part in creating the soundtrack of this film. Jennifer Hudson’s portrayal of Aretha Franklin is perfect! Check it out and you will see why Aretha herself chose Jennifer to play her in the movie. I had so much fun working on this with Stephen Bray, who produced the music. Let me know what you think...

Throwback to the eighties! I love this song! I just saw an Instagram of somebody playing the bass line along with the record. Jeff Lorber got me in on this album. And that’s Jeff funky moog bass. Just the best! Check out the song “Your Smile” off of this same album. Rene and Angela are both such soulful singers. It was and still is a great honor to have played a part in the creation of this music!

This was the first song that I worked on with J-Lo. Again my trusty strat was in my hands. I used a crybaby wahwah this time panned to one side and the clean sound panned to the other. The break is inspired by James Brown’s “Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag”. Not long after this I was asked to be Musical Director for her upcoming promotional tour. We played on SNL, The Today Show and did a whirlwind European television tour.
