Vicky D ~ This Beat Is Mine 1981 Funky Purrfection Version
Vicky D, who are you and where did you go? I know that you were a backing vocalist for Roy Ayers Ubiquity album in 1972. Roy Ayers is a well respected and experienced jazz funk musician for a genre I really love. Vicky D is Victoria Hospedale with no other credits than one more single "Mystery Lover" as Vicky D. "This Beat Is Mine" is her shining moment on the dancefloor as it peaked at #11 disco and #64 R&B. Nothing further ever charted nor was released since then. Someone asked me to remix this one years ago...about five now I think...and I couldn't figure it out until tonight. Wanted to get this one out there tonight to make a happy sound for you to listen to. Snoop Dogg hooked up with this one sampling it for his song "This Weed Iz Mine" for 2011's Doggumentary CD. One more thing, Gary...

Noise, noise, noise from down below. It's coming from the basement. It's underneath the house now. And it's rockin' the foundation. It's the noise we love to make, and for year's we have been making. While Doctor D watches TV his house is fucking shaking. He lets us practice in his place. He's got a wife with a pretty face. Takes vacation, owns property, Dr. Dalsimer, Dr. D. In the daytime what's he doin? Upstairs in the attic he's saving lives from ruin. And sorting through the static, he puts back together brains? I guess they're broken. bip... And I'm not fucking joking. He lets us practice in his place. He's got a wife with a pretty face. Takes vacation, owns property. Dr. Dalsimer, Dr. D. Nice, nice, nice neighborhood. And nice place to raise the kids. They're tough strings to obtain but Dr. D. He did. Worked hard to take it easy. Worked hard and wasn't lazy. Guitars drums, tones, saxophones; He must be fucking crazy He lets us practice in his place. He's got a wife with a pretty face. Takes vacation, owns property. Dr. Dalsimer, Dr. D.
