Musique - In The Bush (Prelude Records 1978)

“In The Bush“ is a song by Patrick Adams & Sandy Cooper. Due to the overtly sexual lyrics of “In the Bush“ many radio stations banned it when it was released during 1978. Because of limited airplay it only scored #58 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #21 on the Black Singles Chart, although it did top the Hot Dance Club Play chart along with the second single “Keep on Jumpin’“. It also reached #16 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1978. Musique was a studio project by Patrick Adams, best known for the song “In the Bush.“ It consisted of five singers, Christine Wiltshire, Angela Howell, Gina Taylor Pickens, Mary Seymour Williams and Jocelyn Brown. Recorded originally as a “low budget“ project at Bob Blank’s Blank Tape Studios in New York City (the tracking session was completed in four hours), the album Keep on Jumpin’ contained only four cuts: “Keep on Jumpin’,“ “Summer Love,“ “In the Bush“ and “Summer Love Theme.“ Adams, known for his arranging, wrote the horn section parts as the studio musicians sat waiting. Those musicians included Skip McDonald and Doug Wimbish who were among the musicians later responsible for much of the backing work at Sugar Hill Records before teaming up to become known as Tackhead in the 1980s, collaborating with Adrian Sherwood on numerous works on his label ON-U Sound in England.
