I am trying something new. This thread will be used for showcasing new talent. Got a song or band you think deserves recognition? Send it to me in care of...ralph.terrana@gmail.com. I will review it and if I approve will post it on this thread to be viewed by forum members, allowing them to make comments on the material if they so choose. Not sure how this is going to go but it could be fun.

**1382hitsville** · 07-29-2022, 10:38 AM

Great initiative! Looking forward to the submissions

**ralpht** · 07-29-2022, 06:33 PM

I´ll get the ball rolling with a song I co-produced with singer and producer Teddie Morrow.

https://youtu.be/KfOOyy-Khds Disregard the CD Baby blurbs. Old video and I am no longer associated with them.

**PeaceNHarmony** · 07-29-2022, 08:02 PM

I love the idea, Ralph, and will send a recommendation soon.

**glencro** · 07-31-2022, 06:56 AM

Great idea

**ralpht** · 08-23-2022, 05:35 PM

Well nobody seems to be breaking down the door to showcase a song, but I will just sit on this for now.

It's a real pity that Kevin Kiley has been thrown off SD, he'd have contributed to many threads in the thoughtful & knowledgeable way he always did in the past.

**ralpht** · 08-25-2022, 07:39 AM

Who told you Kevin was ousted?

**moe** · 08-25-2022, 01:59 PM

Ralph, maybe on another site? You never banned him that I can remember.

**ralpht** · 08-25-2022, 02:17 PM

Thank you, Moe. Of course I never banned him. I happen to like and respect the guy. Not sure where that came from.

**ralpht** · 09-04-2022, 01:03 PM

Okay, maybe I need to prime the pump to get things going. I will use one of my productions for starters. The artist is Teddie Morrow, When I Feel The Way I Feel Again Tonight. Give it your best shot. https://youtu.be/2CUIRcWm9iU

**ms_m** · 09-30-2022, 07:44 PM

Can't make any promises but I may have something for you in a few weeks.

**ralpht** · 10-01-2022, 09:34 AM

Thank you, MsM. So far it seems this thread is not living up to expectations.

**ms_m** · 10-01-2022, 02:22 PM

Keep in mind Ralph, even if people know folks who are, or were in the biz, these folk may not be putting out any new music.

Ronnie has something he's been talking to me about but I swear, he's like Stevie Wonder when it comes to delivering. Plus they are on tour at the moment. We shall see.

**ralpht** · 10-01-2022, 03:09 PM

Ms.M, The thread was meant to be an open forum for talent, known or otherwise.

**ms_m** · 10-01-2022, 03:15 PM

Yeah I understand but when you reach our age, the talent that you like isn't ready available. I think it's an excellent idea though. Give it time. It may catch on.

**ralpht** · 10-06-2022, 09:35 AM

I received this Gloria Scott song from Robert Z. Let me know what you think.

All Of The Time, You're On My Mind

I love this track and have been streaming the entire album regularly. I've pre-ordered the CD and really look forward to seeing the liner notes.

**carlo** · 10-06-2022, 11:28 PM

Nice to see that Gloria Scott is still active in the music biz! This new single sounds good.

**imnokid** · 10-13-2022, 01:04 PM

I have not been ousted from anywhere. I merely had a kerfuffle with a moderator of a Detroit Soul Facebook page.

**imnokid** · 10-17-2022, 02:02 PM

Ralph, I think that by you wanting people to run the post by you instead of posting directly may be impeding this thread. Let people post what they think is worthy. It's not like members have never disagreed with others' opinions before! lol

**PeaceNHarmony** · 10-19-2022, 04:53 PM

Here's something from the excellent new Lee Fields lp that a lot of us can relate to!

This may be too "modern" for some, but I think it is pretty funky. I give you, St. Vincent.

**ralpht** · 10-28-2022, 03:28 PM

I like it. Funky but unusual.

**ralpht** · 12-02-2022, 12:06 PM

Just for kicks, I´m posting a Christmas song I produced with my former production partner, Teddie Morrow. The Holidays....

Maybe everyone's scared of making any negative comments.

**ralpht** · 12-31-2022, 11:07 AM

If one is afraid of a bad review they don't belong in the music business.

**ralpht** · 04-06-2023, 07:02 PM

Here is a song I wrote and recorded with Teddie Morrow
https://youtu.be/2CUIRcWm9iU......When I feel The Way I Feel Again Tonight

**drewschultz88** · 04-07-2023, 04:08 PM

Love "When I Feel The Way I Feel Again Tonight" Ralph - I feel like shuffle grooves are few and far between anymore, and I'm a sucker for a good shuffle! Teddie's voice is amazing, and the melody of this evokes Sam Cooke to me. Thanks for sharing this!

**ralpht** · 04-07-2023, 04:13 PM

Glad you like it, Drew. You're not the first that brings Sam Cooke to mind. Thank you for
posting.

**ralpht** · 05-06-2023, 10:04 AM

Sticking with Teddie Morrow, this is the first song we produced together. Heavenly Father...Luther Van Dross' manager wanted it for Luther, but things didn't work out. Also the first time I put Nancy Jones, a new find, on tape. We would spend a few years together in the studio.
