He reteams with GRAMMY® winner Michael Broening on the hot new single boding to become his third Billboard No. 1 hit.
Gregory Goodloe is a man of few words, yet his electric jazz guitar sparks unlimited fire, consistently burning up the national radio airplay charts. After scoring his second Billboard No. 1 single last summer with “Groovin’ On,” Goodloe reteams with that track’s producer and co-writer, GRAMMY® winner Michael Broening, to cowrite and produce “Unlimited,” the new Hip Jazz Records single currently collecting playlist adds.
Tapping Broening, who won a GRAMMY® for producing George Benson and Al Jarreau’s “Mornin’” and has architected more than 25 Billboard No. 1 hits, and his stable of decorated musicians to craft “Unlimited” was a deliberate move by Goodloe to continue the momentum they created with the success of “Groovin’ On.” Goodloe’s team of collaborators on “Unlimited” are all GRAMMY® winners. In addition to Broening’s elegant yet soulful keyboards and driving, dance floor drum track, Goodloe’s lead guitar dances and prances to the deep-pocketed bass lines sketched by two-time GRAMMY-winning bassist Mel Brown. GRAMMY® winner Freddie Fox adds fullness and color to the harmonies with his rhythm guitar.
Goodloe’s meaning and inspiration for “Unlimited” is two-prong: the simple and the grandiose.
“I came up with the title ‘Unlimited’ with the ideal to create something different that expresses my boundless love of music. After reviewing several musical ideas, ‘Unlimited’ was born from a fresh idea of expressing who I am as a guitarist and revisiting my musical roots in jazz and R&B music. Being heavily influenced by guitarists Wes Montgomery, George Benson, and Ronny Jordan, I wanted to create and capture the essence of the traditional sound of the jazz guitar in a modern contemporary style,” said the Denver, Colorado-based Goodloe.
The grander intention reflects how far Goodloe has come in music since serving in the U.S. Army.
“When I was in the Army, I dreamed about writing and recording music that reaches people and has impact. I dreamt of getting on stage and sharing my songs with the world. The Army taught me about the importance of team and relying on your team, so I realized then that I would need to build a team and rely on that team to help me accomplish my goals as a musician. When ‘Groovin’ On’ became my second Billboard No. 1 hit, five years after my first Billboard No. 1 (“Stylin’”), it made me think that my potential as an artist when working with the right team is unlimited,” said Goodloe who has teamed up with other Billboard chart-topping producers in the past including Darren Rahn, Adam Hawley, Bob Baldwin, and Jeff Canady.
A spiritual man who has been assembling a catalogue of instrumental and vocal recordings in R&B, jazz, and gospel music, Goodloe has played with GRAMMY® winners Ben Tankard, Shirley Caesar, Howard Hewett, and B2K; GRAMMY® nominee Tank, and R&B vocal trio Surface.
