Over on side two God is sending 10,000 Angels with 10,000 devils close behind as they try to shape the world. Godley is called a liar but says that its true and not just a trick of the light as everyone says they used to be stars and are playing gold guitars! The most gospel track on the album is made more bearable thanks to an extraordinary harmonica solo from Feltham thats played at top speed and makes the song bound along with real urgency and energy. The tune is rather lovely too, sounding rather McCartney-ish in its scope and roundedness.

Teena Marie Brockert, under the stage name Teena Marie:
Teena Marie (born Mary Christine Brockert; March 5, 1956 – December 26, 2010) was an American pop/R&B/soul singer-songwriter and producer. She was known by her childhood nickname Tina[1] before taking the stage name Teena Marie and later acquired the nickname Lady Tee (sometimes spelled Lady T), given to her by her collaborator and friend, Rick James.
She was known for her distinctive soprano vocals,[2][3][4] which caused many listeners to believe she was black.[5] Her success in R&B and soul music, and loyalty to these genres would earn her the title Ivory Queen of Soul. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards, and congas, and wrote, produced, sang, and arranged virtually all of her songs since her 1980 release, Irons in the Fire, which she later said was her favorite album. Marie was a three-time Grammy Award nominee.[6]
HOLE IN MY SHOE (1967) This song was written and sung by Dave Mason, rather than Steve Winwood who did most of the singing for the band. Francine Heimann was the six year old girl who did the spoken part in the middle of the song. She was the stepdaughter of Island Records boss Chris Blackwell. Winwood had success as a musician prior to joining Traffic, becoming the frontman of the Spencer Davis Group at age 15 in 1963. Winwood met drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Wood when they jammed together at The Elbow Room, a club in Aston, Birmingham. After Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group in April 1967, the quartet formed Traffic. Soon thereafter, they rented a cottage near the rural village of Aston Tirrold, Berkshire to write and rehearse new music. Traffic signed to Island Records label and their debut single "Paper Sun" became a UK hit in mid-1967. Their second single, Mason's psych-pop classic "Hole in My Shoe", was an even bigger hit, and it became one of their best-known tracks, but it set the stage for increasing friction between Winwood and Mason, the group's principal songwriters. The rest of their career involved various personnel comings and goings (Winwood joined Blind Faith for a year) and Dave Mason even rejoined again for a short period. They had varying success, although scoring with John Barleycorn Must Die and The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (Nov. 1971)
"This Is the Right Time" is a song recorded by British pop singer Lisa Stansfield for her 1989 album, Affection. It was written by Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, and produced by Coldcut. The song received favorable reviews from music critics.
Release
"This Is the Right Time" was released as the first European single on 31 July 1989. It included "Affection," "Big Thing" (recorded by Stansfield's 80s band Blue Zone) and remixes created by David Dorrell, CJ Mackintosh, Paul Witts and Eddie Gordon. The music video was directed by Big TV!. One year later, on 30 July 1990, "This Is the Right Time" was issued as the third North American single. It included previously unreleased track, "My Apple Heart" and new remixes created by Shep Pettibone and Yvonne Turner. The second music video for the North American market was directed by Jimmy Fletcher. In September 1990, just before Stansfield's European tour, the double A-side single "This Is the Right Time"/"You Can't Deny It" with new US remixes was released in selected European countries. In Japan, "This Is the Right Time" was released as a single on 3 October 1990.
The song was commercially successful reaching number twelve in Canada, number thirteen in the United Kingdom, number seventeen in Germany, number twenty in Austria and number twenty-four in Italy. In the United States, it peaked at number twenty-one on the Billboard Hot 100, number one on the Hot Dance Club Songs and number thirteen on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
In 2003, it was included on Biography: The Greatest Hits. In 2014, the remixes of "This Is the Right Time" were included on the deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of Affection and on People Hold On ... The Remix Anthology (also on The Collection 1989–2003).
Critical reception
Music & Media described the song as a "Commercial 70s sounding disco single convincingly produced by Coldcut."[1]
The Gavin Report wrote: "The Jazz/Soul flavoring in her brand of Pop gives the music a distinctive sound polished off by the stunning vocal talent of this singer/songwriter. With songs this hot, Lisa and her partners Ian Devaney and Andy Morris should be getting lots of time—make that air time in the years ahead."[2]
Network 40 wrote: "This latest single from her Rolling Stone four-star rated LP maintains Stansfield's stunning soul licks while adding more tempo and house sounds than any of her previously released tracks. A great all-demo track that picks up where "All Around The World" left off, then digs a little deeper."[3]
Fuller French releases the music video for his latest hit I’ll Leave a Key by the Door. Currently climbing the Mediabase A/C chart with critics describing it as, “a charming, melodic and alluring slice of heartfelt piano-pop. It’s supremely catchy and drips with melody as it skips along a bed of rich meandering keys and honeyed purring vocals above.” (BarryGruff Music) This single comes off of French’s newly released 2019 EP “Champagne Rendezvous.”
Co-written with Cassandra Denver, French's one-time neighbor, I’ll Leave a Key by the Door alludes to rekindling a romance with an old flame.
Recorded at Capitol Record’s Studio C, the song gives off an inviting vibe that listeners thirst to experience. “It feels like 'Easy Like Sunday Morning', all gentle arrangements and a lead man who may well wink after every chorus “ described one Spotify promoter.
The music video, with art direction provided by ISET Agency and Rachel Dares PR, was filmed in Los Angeles by director Hashim Lafond who has worked with the likes of Kevin Hart and Ariana Grande. The pristine video editing was accomplished by five-time Emmy award winner Gustavo Sampaio, also founder of the NoHo Cinefest. In the hit, French’s vocals drip with the pure essence of love over a melody of charm. Available now on Youtube, I'll Leave a Key by the Door is the perfect tongue-in-cheek song for lovers everywhere.
