Ok so I'm DJing a corporate gig next week in Charlotte for his air-ness. 2500 people. 2 hour reception honoring Michael Jordan as person of the year in the Carolinas. I don't do many corporate gigs so.....not even sure what to play but it's for MJ so I wanna bring it. I started pulling upbeat soul, funk, jazz, a little brazilian, maybe a little Stevie Wonder keeping it around late 60's - mid 70's all the way around. b, 21b, 21oh, and i already have The excellent "I believe I can fly" (K Relly remix) from the japanese import of the space jam soundtrack. psssst it's really an R Kelly alias b,121b, 21b, 21Any suggestions on what to play?

    Luther Vandross on Epic - MJ does his horizontal dancing to this. Talmbout the uptempo stuff for make benefit keep people awake though. The obvious ones would do well; it's not all hattful collectro-trainspotters you're playing to, so "Never Too Much" should get love / a free steak.
