Pastime Paradise

I was listening to http://www.musicovery.com/ and something strangly familiar came on. It sounded a bit like "Amish Paradise" but knew it wasn't that becuase I was only listening to Jazz and Latin music (an interesting combo, I know). Maybe "Ganster's Paradise?" I checked and it was "Pastime Paradise." A fun little ditty by the one, the only - Stevie Wonder.

From Wikipedia, RE: "Ganster's Paradise" and "Pastime Paradise"

The music is a reworking of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise", a song from his album Songs in the Key of Life. "Gangsta's Paradise" uses the same tune, and a different orchestration of the same backing music. Coolio changed the lyrics to be more relevant to life on the streets.


:) Happy Paradising!
