@@damonfisher5984 Jamiroquai are from London, England 😉. I think during the 90s the US radio and charts were paying more attention to grunge, rap and pop artists from their own music scene, while the rest of the world listened to music from Europe and the UK mostly, along with the american groups. For example, i'm from South America and while i was growing up in the 90s, as a tween, 90% of the music played on the radio was mostly brit pop, trip hop, electronic music from the UK & Scandinavia, alternative rock/metal, gangsta rap, less popular hip hop, german industrial, french, japanese & australian groups, along with funky bands like Jamiroquai. Even the local bands during the 90s were heavily influenced by the UK music from the 80s and 90s. The other 10% of radio programming consisted of grunge songs, huge US pop artist and popular rap during that time.

Jamiroquai was my favorite as a kid. I was the weird one though. Only had one other friend who even knew who the band was. I think Deeper Underground is what really killed it for him in the US. Anyone associated with that Godzilla movie died. Though Seven Days made a come back for him. Would hear it in the stores every now and then. Working at Starbucks for years, there were multiple lobby CD's that we played with him on it. It was more of an underground thing, it seemed.

Who lot of 80's Brit pop. Duran Duran. Of course I love the Rolling Stones. I'm just not big on the Beatles. I also love Adele. I knew she was going to blow up when I heard Chasing Pavement.

You can thank me later lol Their earlier music was a throwback to the 70’s. ‘Alright’ has the bass line from ‘Idris Mohammad - Could Heaven Ever Be Like This’ and the keyboards from ‘Roy Ayers - Our Time is Coming’

Errr, sorry to burst you bubble, but I think you’re getting Jay Kay mixed up with Prince lol Jay doesn’t play any instruments or write the music. He writes most of the lyrics and comes up with melodies, but Toby Smith was his co-writer and keyboard player for the band from 1992 to 2003. Toby did a lot of the musical arrangements with the bands help. Stuart Zender (bassist) co-produced the first 3 albums with JK and Toby. Not forgetting Nick Van Gelders contribution to the first album. Matt Johnston and Rob Harris co-write most of the songs now

@@MrBillyboyroge Because he is Jamiroquai. He came up with the name, the buffaloman, he was a solo singer who was signed by Sony way before the band emerged and he pretty much got all his boys (the other live musicians) who were all local British boys. Stuart, Toby, Wallis etc. Jay writes pretty much every song. Some of the other guys do write songs as well too, (With Stuart Zender and Toby Smith who wrote a few other songs as well. I think Stuart Zender wrote Scam, Manifest Destiny, Mr. Moon etc. and Toby Smith wrote pretty much wrote the whole Synkronized album) But Jay is pretty much the mascot behind Jamiroquai. Like Prince was behind Prince and the Revolution and Marilyn Manson is behind his self titled band etc. (written by someone else) just posting as i heard differently.

@@semajidoe I’m not denying that Jamiroquai was Jay Kay’s brainchild and Sony did sign him on an 8 album deal, so he got all the publishing writes to the music. He doesn’t play any musical instruments though, hence why Toby was bought in followed by the other band members. Some would say Jay Kay plagiarised a lot of other band’s music from the 70’s and their is some truth in that when you start delving into 70’s music. For example, check out ‘Idris Mohamed- could heaven ever be like this’ which has the bass line to ‘Alright’ and Roy Ayers - Our time is Coming has the keyboards to ‘Alright’ They were all super talented musicians and the current lineup up are too. As you know, various band members changed in the early years, with most citing not being credited with the contribution they gave musically. Look at the background of the original drummer Nick Van Gelder. He often gets overlooked as does his contribution to the song writing and that ‘Jamiroquai sound’ on the album ‘emergency on planet earth’ Without Toby though, Jamiroquai would never have formed (Jay Kay has openly admitted that)

I LOVE JAMIROQUAI ever since receiving his NEW FIRST ALBUM for my birthday back in the early 90's and then seeing him in a small club BEFORE he got famous!!!! EVERY SONG on EVERY ALBUM from his first until his most recent have been stellar. He took the ACID JAZZ genre up a notch and perfected the FUNK DISCO ROCK RETRO ELECTRONICA sound with his perfect voice and wonderfully clever COSMIC lyrical references and metaphors. This piece is a great autobiographical take on the origins of his musical shift in consciousness! GREAT songwriter of slick funk jazz driven influenced rhythms along with beautiful soulful ballads. FYI If you know or learn the history of his influences you'll find much of his inspiration comes from 70's jazzy atmospheric funk bands like Roy Ayers, Herbie Hancock, Lou Donaldson, EWF, Grant Green, Sly Stone, Gil Scott-Heron, of course Stevie Wonder and a slew of lesser known greats from that era...
