Taken from his second album Love Conquers All, Wycoff&#8217;s short lived solo career sadly hit a dead end shortly after and he apparently went through tough times. That is until getting back on his feet via a new found faith and these days he is a Minister of Music at several Los Angeles area churches. &#8220;Looking Up To You&#8221; is a timeless soul classic featuring his signature vocal style, a lush string section, an even tighter brass section and powerhouse backing vocal team: you just don&#8217;t get music like this anymore! B side cut &#8220;Diamond Real&#8221; (Tee Scott instrumental mix) is a more upbeat boogie number, with P-funk style elements plus neon-lit synths and disco guitar licks &#8211; wouldn&#8217;t have been out of place on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack actually!<\/p>\n<p>Label: Be With<br \/>\nFormat: 12&#8243;<br \/>\nCat: BEWITH 004TWELVE<br \/>\nReleased: 23 Nov 17<br \/>\nGenre: Disco\/Nu-Disco<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/michael-wycoff-looking-up-to-you\/671151-01\/?ref=motionfm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>BUY<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tracklist<br \/>\nSide 1<br \/>\n1.\t&#8220;Looking Up To You&#8221; (5:21)<br \/>\nSide 2<br \/>\n1.\t&#8220;Diamond Real&#8221; (Tee Scott instrumental mix) (7:07)<br \/>\n Add to Chart<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Probably most known as the hook sampled in Zhane&#8217;s breakthrough 1993 R&#038;B smash hit &#8220;Hey Mr. DJ&#8221;, it&#8217;s only in recent &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":13941,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13940"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13940"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13940\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13943,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13940\/revisions\/13943"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
