1) The Five Stairsteps
2) Billy Stewart
And that right there is what has been a major problem with record reviews. A lot of times, the writer wants to "get off" on his/her writing--rather than coming to the table with the necessary...
James Brown--"Revolution of the Mind"
Joe Bataan, "Riot [[It's A Good Feeling)"
Motony:
Yes, the background singers to "The Duck"! And, that's what made that performance so memorable to me. Jackie didn't have background singers on or offstage with him; but he "had" a group of...
Dear Motony:
Now I'm going to recall as much as I possibly can from 45 years ago--LOL!!! "Don't Mess With Bill" was their hit at the time, and was the next to last song they did; they closed with...

Brother Daddy!!! Man, wasn't this one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! I gave this album to about...
Their lone album, "Under My Wings," should've been considered a classic!!! One of the greatest albums I've ever heard. Still play it on my iPod to this day. A slow jam "paradise," the album could've...
"Pata-Pata" by Miriam Makeba

"I'm So Happy," The Jackson 5
Brother Sarge!!!!
What's going on with YOU, my Brother!!!
Talk about GREAT selections!!! "It's Gonna Take A Lot To Bring Me Back"--one of the GREAT Manhattan tracks!!! Yeah, I still listen to...

Always glad to see a top-flight MUSICIAN win such a high-profile award!!! But--now I gotta be fair: Esperanza's first major-label release came out in 2008; she also had an indie-release album out,...

Clay Cole was one of my favorite personalities when I was growing up. I don't remember him on radio--but I remember vividly his teen dance show. Saw so many great acts on his show! One memory that...
Problem--I've got FOUR released this year that I'd be hard-pressed to do without on the proverbial "deserted island:" "How I Got Over," The Roots [[R&B); "What We Share," Myron Walden In This World...
For me, Sharon Jones has a decent enough voice; the Dap Kings are good musicians who well-execute the 60s-ish R & B vibe that seems to be their intended sound. But--what's missing is the songwriting....
Hello, tsull1!
Thanks for posting the Times article from today's paper.
I think classic soul fans are the "harshest" of critics because there is a tendency today to take many of today's artists...
