The rhythm of our past, gives me a blues for today. Groove with me as I travel back down musical airwaves and join up with my favorite artists of R&B. Come and see who's next on the R&B Express...

Remembering Rhythm & Blues: Please Don't Disturb The System's Groove


Please Don't Disturb The System's Groove

Okay, I like Silk, but what the hell were they thinking when they decided to cover Don't Disturb This Groove on their new release Always And Forever? Shoot, I tried to give them a chance, but their voices (minus Lil G) sound absolutely horrible on my all time favorite song, which seems to have a history of being used by other artists....


The greatest triumphant title of The System was the album Don't Disturb This Groove in 1987 [with] the song of the same name. It placed #1 in R&B charts and the title became a #3 in the Hot 100, [but] Mic Murphy (vocals, guitar) and David Frank (keyboards) disbanded in 1989 and came again together in 2000 with the album ESP.

"Don't Disturb This Groove" was sampled by the late 2Pac for his 1996 song "Lost Souls" ... And former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham's song titled "This Groove", contains an interpolation of "Don't Disturb This Groove".


But don't get me wrong, I liked Tupac's song and Victoria did a okay job, yet Silk violated with their rendition!!!! Shoot, sometimes it's better to make something fresh than to try and recycle the grooves of The System!
