GRACE JONES-Victor should have been a jazz musician (Dodi's crossover) (1986)

First time I saw Grace Jones I thought she is not from this world....or from our time. She must be from some other planet or from the future. And I still think the same.
''Inside story'' came out back in 1986. with one of her all time hits on it ''I'm not perfect...''. Even though this one was biggest (only) hit from this LP my favourite is ''Victor...''. I can even say it is the one I would put on Grace Jones Top 10.
12'' version was made by Ben Liebrand but he changed original sound of the track and that's something I'm avoiding in my crossovers. For this one I used 4:42 long album version...crossovered goes up to 7:30.
Comments, suggestions or requests are welcome...as always. :)

DULCE PONTES-Cancao do mar (Dodi's crossover) (2000)

If you still didn't discover Dulce Pontes, a Portuguese musician, songwriter and singer, here's oportunity to do so.

Excellent voice combined with amazing performance puts Dulce high on my best female vocals list. With ''Cancao do mar'' she climb high on my best theme list as well.

I can't leave out of this story Amália da Piedade Rodrigues who performed this classic back in 1955 and thanks to Dulce a song was reborn in best possible way.

Original LP version used for this crossover ends up at 5:15. You can enjoy it up to 8:33. Lyrics included in file properties. Have fun...enjoy life.

MIDNIGHT STAR-Midas touch (Dodi's crossover mix) (1986)

It's been quite a while since my last post. All of you outhere who visited blog regularly in search for new crossovers, please accept my apologise.

Today's crossover is from Midnight Star 1986 LP ''Headlines''. One of my favourite dance classics and one of my first crossovers. I made it combining extended and dub version.

DAVID BOWIE-Sound and vision (Dodi's crossover mix) (1977)

I'm sure many of you would agree that ''Sound and vision'' in original size of 3 minutes deserves longer version.

Without to much talking about David Bowie's greatness (and for sure it's one of the greatest artists last 30-40 years), I'm just gonna give you link to 6:30 minutes sharp long crossover which I hope you're gonna like.

I used only original single version to create it...and it was real joy. Have fun.

DURAN DURAN-New religion (Dodi's crossover mix) (1982)

Year is 1982...80's on their very beginning. There was something special in the air...a lot of great stuff on the way. After Girls on film, Planet earth, Careless memories from their previous 1981 LP simply called ''Duran Duran'' we were already spoiled with spectacular videos, waiting for the next to come.
''Rio'' was proof that it wasn't just a one time occasion.
I already posted one crossover from ''Rio'' and here's another one.
Robert from USA made a wish...and here's result.Original sound stayed the same...lenght extended to 10:30.

KAJAGOOGOO-Ooh to be ah (Dodi's crossover v 2.0) (1983)

Hello musiclovers....

What to say about Kajagoogoo ? Probably one of most unusual names for a band in music history. Writing out the of a baby's first sounds gave them "GagaGooGoo". With a little bit of "casual" alteration it became Kajagoogoo. Similar change happened with Christopher Hamills name...lead singer more known as Limahl.

Band known as Kajagoogoo existed only from 1981 - 1983 but that was enough to reach No. 1 on UK charts and No. 5 on Billboard hot 100 with ''Too shy'' from their 1983 LP White Feathers. For this occasion I choose ''Ooh to be ahh'' mostly because of synthesizer intro on the beginning. I used album version and The Construction Mix from 12'' single.

Clock stops at 8:55. Have fun.

DOUBLE-Devils ball (Dodi's crossover mix) (1987)

Hello friends...
When we mention Double (pronounced Doo-blay...according to Wikipedia), probably most people will remember The Captain of her heart...their biggest hit. Like in many other cases my favourite song is usually not the biggest hit.
I get this 7'' vinyl after a long search for nothing....from a guy who'll never know that I was ready too pay double zeros for it :)...I guess I was lucky. Single contain Piano and Edited version both below 4 minutes in lenght. For this crossovers I used also Album (piano) version which appeared on second and last, full lenght album ''Dou3le'' from 1987.
