What a great evening of soul. Aretha's "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Loved You" was electric. Jill Scott did something I never thought could happen with "Rock Steady,' and that is to equal...
Midnightman, you are right, I got confused.
Thank you so much Alanh for making us aware of this touching tribute to Marvin Gaye! The Brits have been so attuned to the Tamla Motown Sound from the git go, and it would fall to them to...
John, listening to this evening Diana Ross Tribute has been "Paradise." There is a real foundation of love being sent out here on the airwaves and I sure hope Diana can feel the love vibe going...

Des123, appreciate your heads up on a potential problem. My set is fine too, but with so many tracks to cover and sometimes not enough time in the day to listen to everything at the time of...
Great news! Grace Jones' album "Warm Leatherette" is one of my personal favs, with her hot version of The Marvelettes, "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game."
Wow! Brenda is puttin' some umph into that song and bringin' down the house!
BET repeats programming such as this one or two times at least. Hopefully your cable provider features the BET network to catch the re-broadcasts. By the way, one of Aretha's sons who is a gospel...
