Gene Chandler - Does She Have A Friend For Me (Zimmer Edit)
Gene Chandler (of Duke Of Earl fame) gets remixed by DJ/Producer Zimmer. Zimmer sped things up a bit, emphasized the funky bass, added some drums and made Chandler’s 1978 disco classic Does She Have A Friend For Me Space Age ready.
Hear the original version below:
Paid in Duke - Gene Chandler’s Duke Of Earl vs. Eric B & Rakim’s Paid in Full
My First Mashup:
As I mentioned in an earlier post, Michael from The Flash Dance collective mashed up Gene Chandler’s Duke Of Earl with Eric B & Rakim’s Paid in Full at a party I attended. One of my favorite 60’s doo-wop tunes mixed with one of my favorite classic rap songs. I loved it so much I wrote to ask if a recorded version existed. One did not. Inspired, I reached out to my talented musician/producer friend Blake who helped me create this mash up as a sort of birthday present. I am really happy with the result. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Gene Chandler - Duke Of Earl (c. 1962)
Michael from The Flash Dance collective mashed up Chandler’s Duke Of Earl over the break from Eric B & Rakim’s Paid in Full at the Airplanes & Blazers party I attended. One of my favorite 60’s tunes mixed with one of my favorite rap songs. Genius. I loved it so much I wrote to ask if a recorded version existed. Sadly for me, one does not. But, he was kind enough to write back and tell me that he usually mixes Duke Of Earl with Cypress Hill’s - Hand On The Pump and DJ Shadow’s - The Number Song (Cut Chemist Mix) which there is a video of here - http://www.theflashdance.com/index.cfm?postID=192 (scroll to the bottom of the post; also embedded below). Rad!
