Tatsurō Yamashita (山下 達郎 Yamashita Tatsurō?) (occasionally credited to Tatsu Yamashita or Tats Yamashita, born February 4, 1953) is a Japanese singer-songwriter and record producer.

Yamashita is best known for the song “Christmas Eve”, which initially appeared on his album Melodies in 1983 and later became a hit throughout the decades. It is considered one of the standard Japanese Christmas songs, winning the Special Prize at the 45th Japan Record Awards 20 years after its release. But we offer you “Solid Slider” today which should satisfy your funk/disco and soul needs for the rest of the week. The list of influences transpires. But give it a spin below and make sure you download the little 7 minute diamond…
