Kleeer - Intimate Connection (1984) [Reissue 2010]

Listen to 80s classic funk soul like never before on Get On Down's reissue of Intimate Connection, the 1984 release by New York-based disco/funk group Kleeer. Abounding with smooth, sliding grooves, seductive lyrics, and classic 80s electro-funk synth, Intimate Connection is a classic piece that should hold a place in any music lover's collection. The album s title track not only climbed the R&B charts in 1984 but served years later as the baseline for Tupac's giant hit, "California Love" in 1995. Woody Cunningham, the group s drummer, writer, vocalist and co-producer, sadly passed away in January of 2010, but left behind him a music repertoire that continues to hit the airwaves today. Kleeer's unforgettable funk style has been sampled further by artists such as Ice Cube and Jay Z, and Woody s lyrical talents can be found in collaborations with current Hip Hop songstress Alicia Keys. Intimate Connection, the group s sixth album on Atlantic Records, provides a classic and timeless snapshot of 80's funk groove. Appreciate the music of Kleeer like never before on this digitally remastered exclusive CD release.
