The day I was asked to contribute to the Sound Birdz blog I got an interesting phone call from my dad. (I will be mentioning him a lot here because he is my biggest musical influence.) So apparently, each one of us daughters has a song that he recorded (on a cassette tape) the day that we were born. On this particular day he asked me to help him figure out the name of my song. Most of the call was spent listening to him fast forward and rewind the tape to find the song in question. But it was well worth it and I find it most appropriate for my first post.
My dad waited about 27 years to find out the name of this song and All I did was play the song into an iPhone App for a couple of seconds and voila-"I'm Ready" by Kano! The song that started Italo-Disco and helped pave the way for hip-hop. It's been sampled heavily with it's most notable use being Tag Team's "Whoomp! (There It Is)".
Enjoy!
