Aloe Blacc (former ChoiceCuts guest back in 2005) and Stones Throw affiliated recording artist turns lunch to soul food…
Cheers to Karl O’Sullivan for putting us on to these great videos. Aloe Blacc taking it easy over lunch in Paris and dropping a nice rendition of I need a Dollar. Check out the second video too – soul power!

Tackling the group s Femme Fatale Blacc ditches the original track s subdued mood for his own soulful rehash and video. And while AB puts his own modern gloss on the song everything about director Alan Algees video is pure 60s cropped tight haircuts stark black white cinematography from and even Blacc s recurring turtleneck sweater.
