Dean Francis - This Grooves For You (1995)

Unsung Dean E. Francis, born December 21, 1951, is one of Columbus, OH's
brightest musical lights. His musical influences include Billy Preston,
Ramsey Lewis, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, and Junie Morrison. Hamburg,
Germany's Soulciety Records has released two CDs by Francis: This Groove's
for You, in 1995, and Black as All That, in 1998. Francis toured Germany to
support the releases. He recorded the latter CD in Germany; the music is a
combination of what he calls "Funkamajazz," a fusion of old-school funk and
East Coast jazz.
