BSM MUSIC PRESENTS - EPISODE #36 - MUSIC OF A LIFETIME SALUTES UK SOUL, PART 1

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!IT WOULD TAKE ME LOTS OF TIME TO GIVE THE WHOLE HISTORY OF THIS MUSIC BECAUSE THE ROOTS OF IT WERE BIRTHED DURING THE ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC THAT CAME TO AMERICA WITH THE BEATLES AND THE ROLLING STONES IN THE 50’S, 60’S AND 70’S, AND WITH THAT, IT WAS AMERICAN MUSIC, IN PARTICULAR AMERICAN JAZZ AND SOUL MUSIC, THAT CROSSED OVER TO EUROPE AFTER WORLD WAR II, SPECIFICALLY DURING THE MID 50’S INTO THE 1960’S. HERE’S WHAT I CAN TELL YOU: AMERICAN SOUL MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON BRITISH POPULAR MUSIC, AS I SAID SINCE THE 1960’S AND THE CLEAR GENRE OF WHAT’S CALLED UK SOUL MUSIC REALLY FORMED IN THE 80S, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH ACTS AS LOOSE ENDS, FIVE STAR, SADE, SIMPLY RED, AND LISA STANSFIELD, JUST TO NAME A FEW. SO DURING THE NEXT FEW EPISODES I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THESE ARTISTS WHO OVER THE YEARS HAVE BECOME SOME OF MY FAVES AS WELL.  I’LL BE PLAYING MUSIC BY SADE, LOOSE ENDS, IMAGINATION…DELEGATION…HEATWAVE? YEAH, HEATWAVE, WHO DURING THEIR HEYDAY YEARS OF THE MID TO LATE 1970’S HAD A KEYBOARDIST AND SONGWRITER IN THEIR GROUP, A GUY BY THE NAME OF ROD TEMPERTON…YES, THAT’S RIGHT! ROD TEMPERTON. A MAN THAT THE LEGENDARY PRODUCER (I CALL HIM THE GREATEST PRODUCER OF ALL TIME), MR. QUINCY JONES, CALLED ROD TEMPERTON ONE OF, IF NOT, THE GREATEST SONGWRITER IN POP MUSIC HISTORY, AS HE PENNED SUCH CLASSICS AS “ROCK WITH YOU” AND “THRILLER” BY MICHAEL JACKSON, “GIVE ME THE NIGHT” BY GEORGE BENSON, “BABY COME TO ME”, BY PATTI AUSTIN & JAMES INGRAM, JUST TO NAME A FEW. MUSIC BY FIVE STAR, LISA STANSFIELD, SIMPLY RED, MICA PARIS, INCOGNITO…OMAR…LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THERE ARE MANY, MANY MORE ARTISTS FROM THEN AND EVEN NOW, ALL HAILING FROM THE UK, WHO ARE BELOVED BY MILLIONS FOR THE UNIQUE ‘SOUL’, R&B AND GROOVE LEANINGS, THE FOUNDATIONS OF THEIR MUSIC THAT I CAN SAY WAS BORN IN THE FOUNDATIONS OF AMERICAN SOUL MUSIC. YET, UK SOUL IS VERY UNIQUE, IT IS IT’S VERY, VERY OWN CLASSIC SOUND, AND THAT’S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT. SO SIT BACK, RELAX, BUCKLE UP AND LET’S GET THIS JOURNEY STARTED…ALLL AROUND THE WORLD BABBY!
