Details:
A "A Funky Good Time" was a labor of love for E. Jaye Brown. Growing up listening to blues artists such as Bobby Womack, Johnny Taylor, Brook Benton and Benny Latimore, his goal was to recapture that southern blues and R&B style. The CD is a mixture of hand-clapping, foot-stomping feel-good party songs and soulful slide guitar ballads.

Born in Charleston, South Carolina, under the sign of Aries, E. Jaye has been said to be one of South Floridaâs most energetic and motivational entertainers. Soon after being discharged from the Navy, E. Jaye began performing in local South Florida nightclubs, weddings and corporate events.

During his career, E. Jaye worked with such greats as Sylvester Stewart, otherwise known as Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. He was also a member of the Original Bluenotes, headed by Larry Brown, who passed away in April, 2009 and to whom E. Jaye dedicates this CD. Locally, E. Jaye has worked with Motown and Platters tribute groups. Heâs opened for Tavares, Redd Foxx, The Righteous Brothers, Chubby Checker, The Temptations, Bobby Womack, Gene Chandler, and more recently, Bo Diddley, in one of his last Florida appearances. Recently, he did a one-year stint in fabulous Las Vegas, appearing at Fitzgeraldâs Casino and The Cannery Casino.

While E. Jaye works as a solo artist, his great love is working with well-choreographed vocal groups. His early influences were The Temptations, The Manhattans, The Delfonics and The Stylistics.

Future projects include producing the dance, blues, R&B, techno and gospel music he has written for other artists.

Selections from "A Funky Good Time" can be heard on South Floridaâs HOT 105 radio station, on the Chico The Virgo show on Sunday afternoons. Being a big fan of Chico on the Radio, E. Jaye considered it a great compliment that Chico selected "Rock Your Body With Me" to include in his Sunday rotation among all the great blues that he plays.
