TOMMY CHAPPELL – MAMA AND PAPA

This song can work anywhere from a greasy club to a family BBQ or at a wedding anniversary celebration. I hear echoes of Booker T/Stax….

Mama and Papa, for those of you who need a “category”: Soul/Funk/Pop/Dance

This song can work anywhere from a greasy club to a family BBQ or at a wedding anniversary celebration. I hear echoes of Booker T/Stax. It can also make a person laugh and cry at the same time, especially if both of their parents are no longer here on this earth.

I like that stank azz funky/old school/stax style organ at the beginning and carries thru the song. The virtue of having a two-parent household. “at the end of the day I thank them for a happy home. Food is always a good topic. Sacrifices mama & papa made, “we were never without.” Lessons from mama & papa “get your own and be your own.

I think the recording is good, the singing is on point and the mix is good, although I can also “hear” this being remixed as a dance track as well.
