The Clipse aspect is plenty monumental and poignant on its own, given that the mighty brotherly duo of Pusha T and No Malice (formerly just Malice, before his own impassioned and very public rededication to Christ) haven’t put out an album together in 10 years. On Friday, Kanye West unleashed his long-threatened gospel album, Jesus Is King, on his long-suffering fan base, and upon first perusing the tracklist, one tune verily leaps out at you: “Use This Gospel,” featuring Clipse and, yes, smooth-jazz giant Kenny G. In conclusion, I, personally, am 100 percent responsible for this. The close proximity of those two plaques was profoundly amusing “Kanye and Kenny G, together at last,” I wrote at the time, profoundly amused with myself. Bolton served us giant wheels of cheese and proudly displayed his Deluxe Scrabble set, the kind where the board spins.Īnyway, right below the Kanye plaque on that wall was another industry award, this one celebrating Kenny G’s diamond-selling 1992 album Breathless Bolton cowrote the single “By the Time This Night Is Over,” which I assume would be my personal favorite song on that record if I were a “personal favorite song on a Kenny G record” sort of person. It turns out that my personal favorite song on that album, “Never Let Me Down,” sampled a righteous 1980 tune from Bolton’s pre-fame rock band Blackjack our dapper host conceded that prior to his ( happily) clearing the sample, his daughters had to explain to him who Jay-Z was. Quick story: In 2010 I went to Michael Bolton’s house in Connecticut for a somewhat awkward cocktail party (long story) and beheld there, on the walls of his luxe recording studio next door, a music-industry plaque for Kanye West’s The College Dropout.
