The 1980s saw considerable changes in the way that R\u0026amp;B was produced. The types of instrumentation one typically associates with 1970s R\u0026amp;B the orchestral string arrangements of Philadelphia International Records, the punchy horn sections of Parliament\/Funkadelic, the Bar-Kays, the Ohio Players and Tower of Power went out of fashion at urban radio stations, and urban contemporary (that is, post-1970s R\u0026amp;B) became a high-tech world of synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines. Even Cameo, who were the epitome of a horn-powered funk band in the late 1970s, downsized and adopted a much more electronic approach. Yet the more things change in music, the more they stay the same and in the 1980s, there were some R\u0026amp;B singers who combined the high-tech production techniques of urban contemporary and hip-hop with a passion for 1960s and 1970s soul. One such artist was Tashan, whose 1986 debut, Chasin a Dream, was arguably a precursor to the hip-hop soul that made Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, R. Kelly and D Angelo famous in the 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Strung Out on You \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Got the Right Attitude \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Chasin' a Dream \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Oooh We Baby \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Read My Mind \u003cbr\u003e1.6 So Much in Love \u003cbr\u003e1.7 I Dont Ever \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Love Is \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Thank You Father \u003cbr\u003e1.10 If Words Can Express \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Ream My Mind (Long Version Remix) \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Chasin' a Dream (Special Mix) \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Read My Mind (Short Version Remix) \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Chasin' a Dream (Single Version)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tashan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43683396812867,"sku":"31461412","price":4.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9847\/3539\/files\/2238586.jpg?v=1787018573","url":"https:\/\/sonirecords.com\/products\/tashan-chasin-a-dream","provider":"MAILE LOR60x16RAINE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
