DESCRIPTION:
Here's a Music Production I did for recording artist Chris Walker (vocalist and bassist with Al Jarreau) entitled "I NEED YOU/YOU'VE BEEN GONE (REPRISE)". It's a Soothing Smooth and Silky Urban SOUL/R&B Slow Grinding Dance Slow Jam Groove. Some might classify it as Urban R&B, others as Urban Soul. Your mileage may vary.

LINEAR NOTE: I had the pure pleasure, privilege, and esteem honor to use one of my dearest and most loved friend Mr. Joe Capers recording facility Joe Capers Recording in Oakland CA for Mr. Chris Walker's exclusive PRE-PRODUCTION. His facility was used exclusively at which I transferred to the actual recording studio facilities used for post production. Truly he was a kind, gentle, God-Fearing, loving, and caring GentleMAN who loved unconditionally his children and family. Those that know him musically and personally will tell you his overall true undying and unconditional love, devotion, dedication, determination, and commitment to Music as a whole goes well beyond the normal human boundaries. Even though he was legally blind, he was a prolific and superlative pianist. He can see more clearly and concise than most humans who has better than 20/20 vision.

His death was unexpected, untimely, and heartfelt. His very last words to me was in verbatim: "Wally, I love you as a blood brother and Musical partner."

I dedicate this Music Production Timeline/Post to Mr. Joe Capers. May HE continue to rest in the most peaceful tranquil and serene level.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Everyone that reads this can view Mr. Joe Capers official Memorial Facebook page. It's dedicated as a tribute to His life's work. He is without question the Disabled Producer to the Stars. Search for "Joe Capers". The 1st result should show "Memorial to Life Work of Joe Capers: Disabled Producer of the Stars". Please honor him by liking the Memorial Page in his honor. There's a movie in the works that will depict Joe's life.

I'LL ALWAYS MISS YOU TREMENDOUSLY!!!
