The Zapp - Fire / Jake E Stanstill single was released as a 12” vinyl single by Reprise Records in 1989 and was sent to radio stations all across the United States. Surely enough, the single became a blazing hot hit underground and on the radio.
Zapp performed a unique cover version of Ohio Players - Fire on the song Fire. This cover version of Fire uses a talkbox. Zapp’s on fire! Now this cover version of Fire is excellent! Bill Beck’s outstanding performance on the keyboard is simply amazing. The Ohio Players connection is no coincidence. An instrumental jazz version is included on this vinyl as well.
Jake E Stanstill serves as an instrumental closer for the single. The music you hear on Jake E Stanstill is similar to elevator music with the mood being upbeat and cheerful. Jake E Stanstill is similar to a bossa nova style jazz instrumental. Zapp's electronic flavor can be heard on this song. Jazz, funk, and electronic music all meet each other on this Zapp song. Think elevator music when you listen to Jake E Stanstill.
I rate this single 5/5*****!!
