Harvey Mason / Groovin' You
Following the success of the album “Funk In A Mason Jar”, Harvey Mason released his fourth leader album in 1979 “ Groovin’ You” that featured a cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim's '”Wave.” The funky title track became Mason's first dance music hit single with Mason’s own lead vocal with Kenny Mason, Morris Paul Kennedy. Bill Champlin contributed his blue-eyed soul lead vocals on the track “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow”, that would be very impressive for me.
