I was happy to discover this great cover of the Ohio Players classic "Sweet Sticky Thing" and in doing so became introduced to a world of beautiful and inspirational music by a talented writer, songstress and arranger from Mount Vernon, NY. With an excellent combination of contemporary jazz, neo soul and funk which drives the emotions, Ragan Whiteside creates a cool vibe with each song by balancing contemporary style with a funky 70's influence. Each song is a powerful statement of uplifting sound as her soulful compositions drive your inner-most positive feelings and love of life. Enjoy her album "Evolve which includes the cover of "Sweet Sticky Thing", originally performed by the late Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner, the lead guitarist and vocalist of The Ohio Players.

About "Evolve":

A follow up to her debut CD, Class Axe, which took the Smooth Jazz world by storm and caught the eyes and ears of the esteemed Capital Jazz Festival, the largest jazz festival in the country, the flutist’s latest disc showcases her edginess and creative prowess as a multi-talented artist. It also celebrates her emergence as a versatile and powerful writer, songstress and arranger who hails from Mount Vernon, NY. "
