      Yes indeed, it would be a marvelous thing for Rodney to do all of Kell's most popular songs from the beginning of his career to the end. Even if Rodney wasn't one of the creators on the tracks, it would still be good to hear his rendition of the songs.

    I don't remember where I was at, I was much too young to remember. But funnily enough, I probably wouldn't have ever heard of this if it weren't for Weird Al's parody. For a long time I didn't even know it was a parody, I thought it was one of his original creations. But then I found Trapped In the Closet and I thought it was hilarious. The music though, I've always loved. Just a cool composition.

God’s word is what we have stood on during the last administration but your Music has helped us run this race daily brother. Keep sharing I’m listening to you. Please do a gospel album and I will support you. You are truly talented and blessed. I wrote a gospel song to this video. Let’s talk soon I would love to hear a lot of Rs song covered with gospel lyrics. His/your music will stand the test of times. Every song he song and you wrote had an anointing on them even if the lyrics didn’t, gif wanted to use him even more on this side. Sorry didn’t mean to preach gods speed

    Great video, made my day! Your keys always sound characteristic (especially the "pitch bend"). The "vinyl-crackling-sound" reminds also other songs (real talk, touchin, dream girl, christmas lovin', ...) and in all of these songs you're credited, I think that's not coincidence. It will be epic if you would perform the songs "I Surrender" and "3-Way Phone Call" in future videos. Salute from Europe!

    And you're doing all this great stuff without setting your levels. But it's booming al over the place/I always have my channel levels for loops and synth plugins at -6 to -12 db. The Master is set between 0 db to -3 db. to tighten the sound a little more, you could use Logic's channelstrip presets and pan channels left and right for the servo field.
