Cassidy </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">has premiered a behind-the-scenes video for his latest single,
<b>"Make The World Go Round" feat. R. Kelly</b>, off his debut album, <b><i>Paradise Royale,
</i></b>exclusively on <b>Vibe.com</b>. Cassidy and Kelly recount Cassidy's epic twenty-month pursuit of the iconic singer and welcome viewers into their monumental recording sessions to create the groundbreaking record. The studio footage features legendary
musicians of the late 1970s and early 1980s, all of whom were indivdually recruited by Cassidy to contribute to
<i>Paradise Royale. </i>The renowned musicians include Marcus Miller (Luther Vandross' "Never Too Much") on bass, Wah Wah Watson (Barry White's "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Babe") on guitar, Ira Siegel (Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Love Come Down") on guitar,
Ndudgu Chancler (Michael Jackson's <i>Thriller</i>) on drums, and Jerry Hey (Michael Jackson's
<i>Off The Wall) </i>on horns and strings. <b><a href="http://www.vibe.com/article/making-dj-cassidy-and-r-kelly-talk-recording-make-world-go-round">PRESS HERE</a></b> to watch the video!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">To evoke what he calls the "greatest and most universal dance music of all time" on
<i>Paradise Royale,</i> Cassidy reunited twenty-two of the most legendary musicians of the late 1970s and early 1980s for the first time in over thirty years to capture the sound of their prolific era using no covers, no samples, no interpolations, and no machines.
Cassidy then recruited thirteen of the most revered and diverse recording artists from his own era to write and record original songs. The astounding list of artists includes Robin Thicke, Jessie J, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, Passion Pit, Cee-Lo Green, John
Legend, Estelle, Chromeo, Ne-Yo, Kelly Rowland, Melanie Fiona, and Usher. The iconic list of musicians includes Philip Bailey, Verdine White, and Larry Dunn of Earth, Wind & Fire, Kool & The Gang, John “JR” Robinson and Bobby Watson of Rufus, Patrice Rushen,
Ray Parker Jr, Nile Rodgers of Chic, and many more. <span style="color:#141414">
The result is an epic opus of celebration whose inescapable rhythm and explosive spirit moves everybody within its reach. </span>
