A Looking Up To You
B Tell Me Why
Since 1982 ¡ÈLooking Up To You¡É has become one of the signature tracks of the
modern soul world and played out regularly at events to this day. It is co-written
by Leon Ware with Zane Grey (of Grey & Hanks) and produced by Webster
Lewis, all giants in this music genre. The song has also been much sampled,
most notably by Zhane (Hey Mr. DJ), Ortega Cartel (Miami Vice), Yusher
(Gorodskie Uzory) and three this year alone by Skule Toyama (To You), Jericho
Jackson (Seventeen) and Saint Duck (Bamboo). This 7¡É version has also become
more in demand, as too the B side ¡ÈTell Me Why¡É, both condensed to four
minutes. Michael Wycoff was from Los Angeles and worked with Stevie Wonder
on ¡ÈSongs In The Key of Life¡É prior to his three albums for RCA
