Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx has proved that he can make it as a vocalist as his debut album, Unpredicatable, remained at the top of Billboard’s Top 200 for two weeks in a row. Most of those who have purchased the CD are probably unaware that Foxx sampled a song by a smooth jazz superstar for a tune he titled “Three Letter Word.”The oft-repeated sample in that song is taken from guitarist Earl Klugh’s composition called “Kari,” which is included on a duets album with pianist Bob James from 1979 called One on One. The CD was the first duets projects from Klugh and James, who would go on to release two more.
If you haven’t heard this amazing CD before, you will soon be able to. Although it has been out of print for a while, Koch Records will reissue the CD on Jan. 24. It's an amazing CD that holds up beautifully more than 25 years later.
Jamie Foxx would no doubt agree.
