Love You Down, Me’shell Ndegeocello

All I have to say is SAAAAAAAAAANG Girl! LaShun Pace is one of my favourite singers. She is the real deal. No pretense. All heart, soul and amazing vocal flexibility. For me, she’s right up there with the Clark Sisters, […]

Today’s pick is dedicated to my Dad, a funny, loyal and sensitive guy who loves to dance, box, and tease his family non-stop. I remember being a young girl, like 5 or 6 and waking upon a Saturday morning to […]

Bill Withers can do no wrong. His songs, voice, music are still relevant and poignant as ever. Here is a recording of one of his classics “I Can’t Write Left Handed” from his 1972 concert at Carnegie Hall.

Today’s selection is in honour of Gil Scott Heron, an extraordinary poet, philosopher, musician, activist, human being.

The revolution will not be televised, RIP Gil.

Today’s selection is a classic. Gladys Knight and The Pips are B.A.D. This one deserves a few listens, the bass line alone is so melodic and tasty.
If I Was Your Woman, Gladys Knight and The Pips

I love this gorgeous cover of Bob Marley’s classic song. Be warned, this groove is fairly greasy.
Happy Mothers’ Day! ♥
Is This Love, Corinne Bailey Rae

Patrice Rushen is my hero. An outstanding musical mind. This is the title track off of her 2nd album called “Before The Dawn”, which she released when she was 20 years old. Um yeah, she’s a bad mutha […]

This song stopped me in my tracks the first time heard it. I love the delicious texture that is created by the strings, the warm and sparkly guitar, mellow horns and amazing vocals. I never get tired of listening to […]

This tune is heavy. This group exemplifies the sound of “Philly Soul” and produced a plethora of amazing soul singers such as Teddy Pendergrass. Enjoy.

Sunday is often considered a day of rest, the Sabbath, a moment during the week to reflect on the all that has been done and created and an opportunity to prepare for the week ahead.
I like to think that a […]
