My guest today is one of the baddest drummers you’ve heard but you may not immediately recognize. Paul Hines was part of the group Ozone of Motown back in the 80′s. Ozone was a funk fusion band that many say was ahead of their time. They were complete, backed up many of the Motown acts and were actually the only band on the Motown label to produce 5 album projects. Charles Glen, founding member of Ozone was a recent guest on the SOS and highly recommended that I bring on Paul Hines. Well for yours truly it was a no brainer as paying tribute to this music is what it’s all about on the Soul on Saturday. They actually still perform together today as part of an all star jazz band.
As for Paul his drum beats on Teena Marie’s Square Biz, a song that helped take her career to the next level back in the day has never been replicated or duplicated and was the funky beat to that song that made it move. Paul is living music history as we will hear. His career took him many places as well as his knowledge of the music is special. Please join me today as I welcome Paul Hines to the Soul’.
