"In Conversation with the late - Producer/Composer/Songwriter/Singer/Teacher, Kashif....
I met Kashif on the afternoon of Thur. Jan.7th 2016,and we spoke Weather Report, Clive Davis, Stephanie Mills, B.T. Express, Randy Muller and of course Whitney Houston, i managed to get 25min. with him and then he had to shoot off to another engagement and he was running late, but he did promise that we would finish off the interview via Skype, but alas, it didn't happen and as we now know he has passed on. Inspite of it coming to an abrupt end that day i've decided to play out the interview for YOU...the magic of editing..!" - Wayne Boucaud

"Kashif’s contribution to R&B is without compare. As a teen, he rose to prominence in early 80s NYC as an in demand producer and solo artist. His hybridizing of traditional live band arrangements w/ synthesizers and drum machines played an integral role in developing the sound of Whitney Houston, Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and many others. He has been regarded by some as the architect of the boogie sound. Tune in for the 100th episode of the show featuring an in depth interview with Kashif!!!" - Night School
