TAKING IT EASY WITH MR. EASY!
By Howard Campbell— Mr. Easy THERE was no hotter jam in the summer of 1997 than producer Dave Kelly’s Joyride. One of the artists who helped make it a dance favourite was singer Mr. Easy. His Funny Man (Strange Things) was one of the hits that rode the Joyride which appeared on Kelly’s prolific Mad House label. Mr. Easy returns for another crack at the charts, and insists he is up to the task. “As an artist yuh always have to reinvent yuhself an’ keep trying and keep working.
