ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!BACK IN 2023, I DID TWO EPISODES CALLED ‘LADIES OF THE 80’S’. THOSE TWO SHOWS WERE BACK TO BACK & I FEATURED SOME OF MY FAVORITE FEMALE ARTISTS FROM THE 80’S: ARTISTS LIKE PAT BENATAR, TAYLOR DAYNE, REGINA BELL, MICKI HOWARD, ANGELA WINBUSH, & OF COURSE THE HEAVYWEIGHTS: WHITNEY HOUSTON, CHAKA KHAN, TINA TURNER, ANGIE BOFILL, & MADONNA. THOSE TWO SHOWS HAVE PROVEN OVER TIME TO BE TWO OF MY MOST POPULAR SHOWS & I’D BEEN TELLING MYSELF THAT I STILL HAD MORE OF THE STORY TO TELL. WELL, ALMOST 3 YEARS LATER & IT’S FINALLY HERE. ANOTHER SHOW FEATURING SOME OF MY FAVORITE FEMALE ARTISTS OF ALL TIME, BUT HERE’S WHAT I’M DOING WITH THIS SHOW.  I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME MORE OF MY FAVORITE FEMALE VOCALISTS/ARTISTS, BUT WITH A BIT OF A TWIST. I’M GOING TO USE THIS EPISODE TO SALUTE ONE OF THE PREMIER JAZZ ARTISTS, OR AS SOME WOULD SAY…”SMOOTH-JAZZ”... AND/OR R&B-JAZZ ARTISTS EVER   -   MISS PATRICE RUSHEN. PATRICE RUSHEN HAS SURELY SET A STANDARD BOTH IN THE GENRE OF JAZZ, & IN THE GENRE OF R&B. SHE’S LISTED AS ENTRY #20 ON MY 50TH GREATEST ALBUMS AND ARTISTS OF A LIFETIME.  SHE’S ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. BUT I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE TWO OF MY FAVORITE FEMALE VOCALISTS - THE LATE MS PHYLLIS HYMAN AND MS. STEPHANIE MILLS. THE MUSIC OF PHYLLIS HYMAN AND STEPHANIE MILLS STAND STRONG & PROUD,  BECAUSE OF HOW I FIRST HEARD THEIR MUSIC IN THE 70’S. BUT MOSTLY FOR ME, THEIR MUSIC RESONATES STRONGEST FROM HOW IT AFFECTED ME DURING THE 80’S. I THINK THAT BOTH PHYLLIS & STEPHANIE REALLY ROSE TO STARDOM IN THE 1980’S. WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN THE SAME GROUPS OF FEMALE ARTISTS I’VE ALREADY SPOKEN ABOUT FROM TWO PREVIOUS EPISODES, THEN YOU’LL KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAW THAT THE 80’S WAS THE DECADE OF THE LADIES!! THE LADIES OF THE 80’S HELPED TO ESTABLISH THAT DECADE AS ONE OF THE BEST DECADES OF AMERICAN MUSIC EVER.BETCHA BY GOLLY WOW - 1976from Norman Connors LP entitled ‘You Are My Starship”- PHYLLIS HYMANWHEN I FOUND YOU - 1978 from Patrice Rushen’s album entitled “Patrice” PATRICE RUSHENSETTLE FOR MY LOVE - 1978 from her LP entitled ‘Pizzazz’ - PATRICE RUSHENGIVE A LITTLE MORE - 1979 from her LP ‘You Know How to Love Me’ - PHYLLIS HYMANWHERE THERE IS LOVE - 1982 from her LP ‘Straight From the Heart’- PATRICE RUSHENLIVING INSIDE YOUR LOVE - 1978 from her LP entitled ‘Somewhere in My Lifetime’ - PHYLLIS HYMANREMIND ME - 1982 from her LP ‘Straight From the Heart’ - PATRICE RUSHEN SOMETHING IN WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL - 1989 from her LP entitled ‘Home’, this song was written and produced by Angela Winbush - STEPHANIE MILLSHANG IT UP (PR) - 1978 from her LP entitled ‘Patrice - PATRICE RUSHENALL DAY, ALL NIGHT - 1992 from her LP entitled ‘Something Real’ - STEPHANIE MILLSFEEL SO REAL (WON’T LET GO) - 1982 from her LP ‘Straight from the Heart’- PATRICE RUSHENYOU CAN’T RUN FROM MY LOVE - 1982 from her LP ‘Tantilizingly Hot’- STEPHANIE MILLSNUMBER ONE - 1982 from her LP entitled ‘Straight from the Heart’- PATRICE RUSHENYOU KNOW HOW TO LOVE ME - 1979 from the lp of the same name - PHYLLIS HYMANFORGET ME NOTS - 1982 from her LP entitled ‘Straight from the Heart’ - PHYLLIS HYMANTHANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!"Welcome back to 'Music of a Lifetime,' I'm your host, djceejaay. Today we’re diving into the 1981 synth-funk masterpiece 'Galaxian' by The Jeff Lorber Fusion. This track represents the pinnacle of the early '80s jazz-fusion evolution, blending sophisticated harmonic structures with a heavy, danceable groove that bridged the gap between instrumental jazz and urban R&B. The production is a masterclass in texture, featuring Jeff Lorber’s signature tight Minimoog lines and Rhodes work, anchored by the incredible rhythm section of Kenny Gorelick (Kenny G) on flute/sax, Danny Wilson on bass, and Ian Mclylagan on Hammond B3.  'Galaxian' wasn’t just a hit; it helped define the 'Smooth Jazz' precursor known as 'Jazz-Funk,' proving that technical proficiency could coexist with mainstream soul appeal. The interplay between Lorber’s synthesizers and the ensemble’s rhythmic precision created a futuristic soundscape that still resonates on airwaves across the globe today."Genre Impact & Production CreditsArtist | Track | Release Date | Production & Impact SummaryJeff Lorber Fusion | Think Back and Remember | 1978 | Produced by Jeff Lorber.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!Another "freestyle" mix. This time, I stumbled across a crate that was created earlier this year but I never played the sett or worked it out or anything. "Working out a sett" is what I do when I get together lots of music. For example I may go to one of my fave websites such as Traxsource, and there, I may get 20-25 songs: Soulful House, Classic House, Funky Disco, Boogie, whatever. From there I'll decide on HOW I want to showcase the music. I'll sit for hours, going through those songs and arrange them how I want them to be played. I listen really good because a lot of what I do is about "feeling" and the vibe and energy I want to give when I'm playing the sett. It's also about - who is my crowd, who am I playing for. There are a lot of factors that go into what we DJs do when we want to play our music. YES! I've created thousands of playlists and crates over the years because the essence of what I learned as a DJ was about PLAYING AND SHARING MUSIC so that the people can feel something too! In this episode I'm pumping out some House, Dance, 80's, R&B, and breakbeats music from such artists as OR, TIMMY THOMAS, SAMANTHA JAMES, KUNA MAZE/NIKITCH, MIGUEL MIGS, KEVIN SWAIN, MICHAEL JACKSON, AND SIMPLE MINDS! I think it might be a good mixture of several genres, sounds and grooves that should get you ready for a cool evening's barbeque or something to listen to as you're getting ready to head out on the town for a Saturday night party.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER! KIDS ARE BACK IN SCHOOL! Before the fall gets here I wanted to bless you with what I call a "freestyle" mix. A lot of times, when I'm creating new crates for music i.e., let's say I'm getting ready to DJ a party for a client, etc. I will put together 30-50 songs in a "crate". These songs will be all kinds for whatever type of event I'm DJing. Over the last nearly 20 years, I've created thousands of crates but sometimes, I've never gotten a chance to play the music. So for the next two mixes, I selected two crates of music that I put together for a sett but never got a chance to play. In sett #1 I'm playing some classic hip-hop from the 90's and 2000's, such as Notorius B.I.G., JT Money, Rodney O & Joe Cooley, I got some 90's and 2000's R&B with Faith Evans, 112, and others. I mean I think these joints are some serious bangers, but you're going to have to listen and judge for yourself! THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! THANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!HIP-HOP TURNED 50 YEARS AGO BACK IN 2023. AND SINCE THEN I’VE BEEN REALLY WANTING TO PUT TOGETHER SOME SETTS TO CELEBRATE WHAT IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MUSIC AND LIFE ART FORMS TO EVER BE CREATED. WHAT STARTED AS AN AFTER SCHOOL PARTY UP IN THE BRONX WITH DJ KOOL HERC IN 1973, HAS IN 2025, BECOME A WORLDWIDE CULTURAL, MUSICAL AND ENTERTAINMENT POWERHOUSE. IN LOOKING AT WHAT HIP-HOP HAS BECOME OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS, IT CANNOT BE SAID THAT…ANYONE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO BE. WITH THAT SAID, THIS EPISODE OF MUSIC OF A LIFETIME WILL BE FOCUSING ON ENTRY’S  28 AND 27 OF THE LIST - #28 IS LL COOL J’S SPECTACULAR MARLEY MARL PRODUCED RELEASE FROM 1990, “MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT”. #27 IS PUBLIC ENEMY’S 1988 RELEASE, AN ALBUM WHICH HAS SHOWED UP ON MANY OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME HIP HOP LISTS, “IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK.”  BOTH OF THE LP’S WERE RELEASED DURING WHAT MANY OF US WHO LOVE THIS MUSIC CONSIDER TO BE A GOLDEN ERA OF HIP-HOP, A PERIOD OF TIME THAT CAME IN DURING 1988 AND WENT ALL THE WAY UP TO 1992. THERE ARE MANY ‘GOLDEN ERAS OF HIP HOP, WHICH SOME BEING DEFINED AS…THE ERA OF GANGSTA RAP, OR THE ERA OF CONSCIOUS RAP. FOR ME THESE RECORDS CAME OUT WHEN I WAS OF COURSE, IN THE NAVY, BUT I BELIEVE THAT I WAS REALLY TRYING TO IDENTIFY WITH MYSELF, AND IN DOING SO, RAP MUSIC WAS A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON ME, IN HOW I DRESSED AND HOW I LISTENED TO MUSIC AND HOW I BEGAN TO GROW AND LEARN AND BECOME MORE SURE AND STRONG ABOUT MYSELF AS A YOUNG, BLACK MAN, A BLACK MAN WHO WAS SERVING HIS COUNTRY IN THE MILITARY DURING THE REAGAN YEARS AND LATER TOWARDS THE CLINTON YEARS.  PUBLIC ENEMY WAS STRONG, DEFIANT, IN YOUR FACE WITH THE TRUTH OF WHAT AMERICA WAS DOING, EYES FOCUSED ON BLACK AMERICA, WITH THEIR POWERFUL LYRICS AND BEATS. WHERE AS LL COOL J, WHO DROPPED IN FROM THE RAP STRATOSPHERE IN 1985 WITH HIS INCREDIBLE DEBUT RADIO, TORE UP CAR SPEAKER SYSTEMS AND DANCE FLOORS WITH HIS 1990 ALBUM, A TITLE THAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS GRANDMOTHER. “MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT’ WAS LIKE A RAP LOVER’S DREAM AS IT HAD SOME OF THE DOPEST BEATS EVER PRODUCED FROM THE LEGENDARY PRODUCER, MARLEY MARL. IM HOPING THAT THIS SETT WILL GIVE ALL OF THE REAL TRUE FANS OF RAP, OF HIP HOP, A LOOK BACK AT A TIME WHEN HIP HOP WAS STILL BRAND NEW, STILL FRESH AND STILL GAINING ITS FOUNDATION, AS A MUSICAL AND CULTURAL WAY OF LIFE. MY MELODY (EXT) ERIC B & RAKIMI’M BAD (JOEY KRASH EDIT)LL COOL JBLACK STEEL IN THE HOUROF CHAOS (TRAYZE RESIST EDIT)PEBLACK STEEL IN THE HOUR OF CHAOS (DIRTY)PEMICROPHONE FIEND (DJ DYNAMITE EDITERIC B & RAKIMI’M BAD (DJ BACON EDIT)LL COOL JMY PHILOSOPHY BDPTHE BOOMIN SYSTEMLL COOL JNOBODY BEATS THE BIZBIZ MARKIESTRAIGHT OUT THE JUNGLE(DJ DYNAMITE EDIT)JUNGLE BROTHERSDONT BELIEVE THE HYPE (DJ DYNAMITE)PEREBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE (DJ DYNAMITE)PEBRING THE HORNSSTEZOLOUNGIN (WHO DO YOU LOVE?)LL COOL JAROUND THE WAY GIRLLL COOL JMAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT LL COOL JWORDZ OF WIZDOM (CLEANBEAT JUNKIES SOUND EDIT)3RD BASSEASE BACK (DJ DYNAMITE)ULTRAMAGNETIC MC’SFIGHT THE POWERPEBRING THA NOISEPETHANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!THIS BEST WAY FOR ME TO INTRODUCE GEORGE DUKE IS TO JUST GO BACK AND RECALL HOW I WAS INTRODUCED TO HIS MUSIC. AND WITH THAT MY MOST MEMORABLE MEMORY IS WHEN I HEARD THIS FUNKY ASS SONG ON THE RADIO CALLED ‘REACH FOR IT, RELEASED IN 1977.  FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, GROWING UP IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC, I MAY HAVE HEARD THIS SONG ON RADIO STATION WQMG, WHICH WAS THE RADIO STATION LOCATED NEARBY IN GREENSBORO, NC. OR MAYBE IT WAS ONE OF THE ALBUMS THAT MY COUSIN BOBBY MAY HAVE LET MY DAD BORROW BACK IN 1978 OR SO. ‘REACH FOR IT’ AND ‘DON’T LET GO’ WERE RELEASED DURING A TIME OF INCREDIBLE MUSIC EXPERIMENTATION AND EXPLORATION, THE PHASE OF JAZZ-FUSION MUSIC BEING CREATED ALL DURING THE 1970’S. BUT ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT WHEN GEORGE DUKE RELEASED WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED HIS BREAKTHROUGH ALBUM, AN ALBUM THAT WOULD COME ALONG AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DECADE WHICH WOULD BRING WHAT’S CONSIDERED ALSO A NEW EXCITING GENRE CALLED ‘SMOOTH JAZZ’, ‘A BRAZILIAN LOVE AFFAIR’ IN WAS RELEASED IN 1980. THIS LP FEATURED SEVERAL EXCEPTIONAL, WORLD CLASS BRAZILIAN MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS, SOME OF WHO WERE KNOWN AND RESPECTED IN AMERICAN JAZZ (AND SOME, R&B) MUSIC. FROM THERE, IN 1981, GEORGE DUKE THEN COLLABORATED AGAIN, WITH ONE OF JAZZ MUSIC’S GREATEST MUSICIANS, STANLEY CLARKE, AND THEY RELEASED THE AMAZING ‘THE CLARKE/DUKE’ PROJECT, A TOP SELLING ALBUM FOR BOTH ARTISTS IN EVERY WAY. IT YIELDED THE TOP 20 SINGLE “SWEET BABY” AS THAT SONG APPEARED ON BOTH THE POP & R&B SINGLES CHARTS, AS THE SONG PEAKED AT #6 ON THE BILLBOARD R&B CHART. THIS GREAT MAN, THIS GREAT ARTIST PASSED AWAY AND WENT ON TO GLORY IN AUGUST, 2013 BUT FOR ME THE ABSOLUTE LEGACY OF HIS ARTISTRY, HIS BODY OF WORK AND CONTRIBUTION TO NOT ONLY JAZZ, JAZZ FUSION BUT ALSO AS A PRODUCER OF SOME OF THE BEST R&B MUSIC OF THE 80’S AND 90’S, IS A FURTHER CERTIFICATION OF HOW GEORGE DUKE BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE MUSICAL ARTISTS AND AN ARTIST WHO’LL ALWAYS BE - A BLAZE STREET MUSICAL LEGEND!NO RHYME, NO REASON (1992) - FROM THE SNAPSHOT RELEASE, FEATURING A BACKGROUND RIFF FROM THEN NEWCOMER NAMED RACHELLE FERRELLWAITING - RACHELLE FERRELL (1992) from FERRELL’S SELF-TITLED DEBUT LP ‘RACHELLE FERRELL’ WHICH FEATURED PRODUCTION FROM GEORGE DUKEJUST FOR YOU (1977) - FROM REACH FOR ITSWEET BABY (1981) - FROM THE CLARKE-DUKE PROJECT OOH BABY (1992) - FROM SNAPSHOTSTARTING AGAIN (1978) - FROM DON’T LET GOREACH FOR IT (1977) - FROM REACH FOR ITSAY THAT YOU WILL (1979) - FROM FOLLOW THE RAINBOW6 O’CLOCK (1992) - FROM SNAPSHOTSAY HELLO (1989) - FROM NIGHT AFTER NIGHTYOU ARE THE ONLY ONE IN MY LIFE (1989) - FROM NIGHT AFTER NIGHTDUKEY STICK (1978) - FROM DON’T LET GOSAME OLE LOVE (1989) - FROM NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, (A RENDITION OF ANITA BAKER’S HIT SONGSEARCHIN MY MIND (1997) - FROM REACH FOR ITTHE TOTAL EXPERIENCE (2006) - A TRACK BY BONEY JAMES FEATURING GEORGE DUKE FROM THE ‘SHINE’ RELEASESUPERWOMAN (2005) - FROM THE LP TITLED ‘DUKE’RESCUE ME (1980) - FROM THE LP, ‘TWICE AS SWEET’, THIS PRODUCED BY GEORGE DUKEBRAZILIAN LOVE AFFAIR (1980) - FROM THE LP OF THE SAME NAMETHANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!IN THIS EPISODE, I’LL  BE DOING SEVERAL THINGS. FIRSTLY, SHARING THE MUSIC OF TWO GREAT MUSICIANS AND ICONS - GEORGE DUKE AND JOE SAMPLE. WOW. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN. YES I’LL BE PLAYING MUSIC FROM JOE SAMPLE & GEORGE DUKE. THIS EPISODE IS MY DEDICATION TO THE #9 ENTRY INTO MY TOP 50 LISTING - I’LL BE FEATURING SEVERAL SONGS, MY FAVES FROM JOE SAMPLE’S 1989 RELEASE CALLED “SPELLBOUND”  I’LL ALSO BE GIVING YOU A FEW SONGS FROM JOE SAMPLE WHEN HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE JAZZ GROUP, THE CRUSADERS, ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE JAZZ-SOUL GROUPS FROM THE 70’S AND 80’S. AND LASTLY I’LL BE GIVING YOU SOME SONGS FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE, FAVORITE ALL TIME GREATS, MR GEORGE DUKE.  NOW WHAT I’M DOING WITH GEORGE DUKE IS SOMETHING UNIQUE AND INTERESTING. IM PLAYING GEORGE DUKE AND JOE SAMPLE BECAUSE IT WAS DUKE WHO PRODUCED SAMPLE’S 1997 LP TITLED ‘SAMPLE THIS.’ WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL IS, ALL THE SONGS ON ‘SAMPLE THIS’, WERE SONGS THAT JOE SAMPLE HAD PREVIOUSLY RECORDED. SO WHAT DID GEORGE DUKE AND SAMPLE DO? THEY GOT AN ALL-STAR ROSTER OF MUSICIANS AND THEY RE-DID THE SONGS, HENCE THE TITLE, ‘SAMPLE THIS’. IN MY OPINION, THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT BOTH DUKE AND SAMPLE EVER DID, BECAUSE EACH MUSICIAN IS A KEYBOARDIST/PIANIST, AND BOTH OF THEIR CHOPS AS MUSICIANS ARE EXTRAORDINARY. BLAZE STREET MUSIC - MUSIC OF A LIFETIME, EPISODE #44, IM FEATURING ENTRY #9 ON MY LIST OF THE 50TH GREATEST RECORDS AND ALBUMS OF A LIFETIME - THE MUSIC OF JOE SAMPLE, LET'S GO! This mix is for entertainment purposes only.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!THIS PODCAST SPOTLIGHTS THE MUSIC OF STEELY DAN, AND SPECIFICALLY, THE ALBUM THAT’S #10 ON MY LIST OF THE 50 GREATEST ALBUMS AND RECORDS OF MY LIFETIME. ITS HARD FOR ME TO PIN POINT EXACTLY WHEN I “HEARD” THE FIRST STEELY DAN SONG BUT I CAN SAY FOR SURE THAT WHENEVER IT WAS…IT WAS WHEN I HEARD “RIKKI DONT LOSE THAT NUMBER”, AND FROM THERE I BECAME A FAN.  I JUST KEPT LISTENING TO THEM. I WOULD HEAR SONGS LIKE “DO IT AGAIN”, UH, “PLEASE DON’T TAKE ME ALIVE” …ON THE RADIO. BUT IN 1978, I’M A JUST A SHORTY IN HIGH SCHOOL AND AS ALWAYS IM LISTENING TO THE RADIO ON A SATURDAY NIGHT, THE DJ FROM WQMG PLAYS A SONG. AND THE NAME OF THE SONG IS ‘AJA’.  THE SONG BEGINS WITH A SIMPLE CHORD CHANGE THAT’S ACCOMPANIED BY A SLOW, LAZY, DREAMY KEY JINGLE AND FROM THERE IT TRANSFORMS INTO ONE OF THE MOST…ROLLER COASTER-EQUSE, BEAUTIFUL, MESEMERIZING SONGS EVER MADE, HELD STRONG AND TIGHT WITH THE DRUM TRACK FROM THE LEGENDARY STEVE GADD.  ONCE I HEARD THAT SONG THEN, I COULDN’T WAIT TO HEAR IT AGAIN. DURING THAT TIME, MY DAD BORROWED SOME RECORDS FROM HIS NEPHEW, MY COUSIN, BOBBY. COUSIN BOBBY (WHO’S NOW KNOWN AS ‘YISHAI’) WAS A COOL ASS MUSIC FAN AND HE HAD LOTS OF GREAT JAZZ FUSION, ALONG WITH SOME ROCK AND FUNK. AJA WAS ONE OF THE ALBUMS AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT I LISTENED TO THAT ALBUM MAYBE 100,000 TIMES DURING THAT PERIOD WHEN DAD HAD THOSE RECORDS. AND THAT’S WHY IM A HUGE STEELY DAN FAN AND AN ABSOLUTE FAN OF AJA. SO WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY, I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU, THE MUSIC HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ARTIST THAT HOLDS THE #10 SPOT ON MY LIST OF THE 50TH GREATEST ALBUMS AND RECORDS OF MY LIFETIME, MY TRIBUTE TO STEELY DAN AND ‘AJA’ “DO IT AGAIN - 1972, CAN’T BUY A THRILL“NIGHT BY NIGHT” - 1974, PRETZEL LOGIC“RIKKI DON’T LOSE THAT NUMBER” - 1974, PRETZEL LOGIC“DON’T TAKE ME ALIVE” - 1976, THE ROYAL SCAM“THE CAVES OF ALTIMARA” - 1976, THE ROYAL SCAM“HOME AT LAST” - 1977, AJA“DEACON BLUES” - 1977, AJA“BLACK COW” - 1977, AJA“PEG” - 1977, AJA“AJA” - 1977, AJA“BABYLON SISTERS” - GAUCHO, 1980 “GAUCHO” - 1980. “I.G.Y.” - 1982, DONALD FAGEN’S FIRST SOLO RELEASE.THANKS FOR LISTENING!

WHICH AS IT TURNED OUT, THESE SONGS WERE MOSTLY SONGS THAT WERE RELEASED IN ALBUMS OR LP’S THAT TITLED UNDER THE NAME, ‘QUINCY JONES’. IN THIS EPISODE, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE MUSIC OF SOME OF MY FAVORITE SONGS THAT QUINCY PRODUCED AND RECORDED WITH OTHER ARTISTS, WHICH TO ME SOMEWHAT STANDS ALMOST IN AN EQUAL SPACE OF WHAT HE DID PRODUCING MUSIC WITH OTHER ARTISTS IN THOSE RELEASES THAT HAD HIS NAME ON THE TOPLINE. SOME OF THE ARTISTS I’LL HIGHLIGHT IN THIS EPISODE ARE PATTI AUSTIN, JAMES INGRAM, OF COURSE, MICHAEL JACKSON…DONNA SUMMER…GEORGE BENSON, THE BROTHERS JOHNSON…RUFUS FEATURING CHAKA KHAN…THIS MUSIC WILL SPAN THE YEARS FROM 1977 TO 1982. JUST CONSIDER IN THOSE YEARS, QUINCY JONES COMPLETED A BODY OF WORK THAT CAN BE COMPARED TO ANYONE OF HIS PEERS IN IT’S TERMS OF SHEER WORK BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER JUST SOME OF WHAT HE DID IN THOSE YEARS AND I’M GOING TO JUST THROW THIS OUT THERE…AS NOT ONLY DID HE PRODUCE WORK WITH THESE ARTISTS BUT HE ALSO WORKED ON SOUNDTRACKS FOR ‘THE WIZ’ AND ROOTS…ALONG WITH SEVERAL OF HIS OWN RECORDINGS (SOUNDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT…THE DUDE). IF YOU DONT KNOW BY NOW, THE BODY OF WORK THAT QUINCY JONES CREATED DURING HIS OVER 70 YEARS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS IS CONSIDERED BY MANY - INCLUDING ME - TO BE THE GREATEST EVER CREATED. SO AS I’VE SAID BEFORE, I JUST NEED YOU TO JUST SETTLE IN, CHILL OUT WITH ME, AND LISTEN TO SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC EVER MADE, IT’S THE MUSIC OF MY LIFETIME…BLAZE STREET MUSIC PRESENTS, MY FOREVER LEGACY TRIBUTE TO QUINCY JONES, PART TWO. “ALL ABOUT THE HEAVEN” - BROTHERS JOHNSON, FROM THEIR 1980 LP, ‘LIGHT UP THE NIGHT’“STATE OF INDEPENDENCE” - DONNA SUMMER, FROM HER 1982 QUINCY JONES PRODUCED LP SIMPLY TITLED ‘DONNA’“STAR OF THE STORY” - GEORGE BENSON, FROM 1980’S ‘GIVE ME THE NIGHT’“BABY, COME TO ME” - PATTI AUSTIN, FROM 1981’S ‘EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE’, HER FIRST DUET WITH JAMES INGRAM“IT’S YOUR NIGHT” - FROM JAMES INGRAM’S DEBUT 1983, OF THE SAME NAME “HEAVEN BOUND” - RUFUS, FT.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!On 3 November, 2024 - the world, the universe lost a legend. The incomparable Quincy Delite Jones, Jr. He was also known to his closest friends simply as 'Q'. It is really hard to put into words the accomplishments of Mr. Quincy Jones. He passed away at the age of 91 and of his 91 years, more that 70 of those years were spent in the world of music. From his first love during his very young teenage years, Quincy would quickly develop such an incredible talent for learning everything and anything musical. There is soo much to his story, his legacy and his LEGEND that its hard to put it all into words or a simple podcast episode here. So I won't. Here is a link to a good source of information on his life,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_Jones. Quincy Jones is my musical hero. I've been a true fan of his life and his music since I was about 10, 11 years old. In 1976 I listened to one of his albums titled "I Heard That", a double album released that year on A&M records that included mostly tracks of his greatest hits at the time and a few new songs as well. I was 14 years old. And from then on, I was hooked. I wanted to be like him. Understand music like he did, work with some of the greatest artists in music - just like he did. I wanted to be a "genius" like him because everyone already knew, that Quincy Jones was a genius. During my growing years, his music was all over the radio in songs like "Sanford & Son" theme, "Mellow Madness", "KIller Joe", and many others. But lest not forget; it was his songs with other artists that would really get the world's attention. Such artists as Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn...The Brothers Johnson....Rufus featuring Chaka Khan...Michael Jackson,  George Benson, Donna Summer and the list goes on and on and on. I've done three other episodes on my podcast about Quincy Jones because he's larger than life in my musical heart and soul. The last episode I did was in July, 2023, when I did an episode to celebrate the 37th release from my 50th greatest list - Quincy Jones "Sounds...and Stuff Like That,"  which was released in 1978.You see, on my 50th greatest lists or records and albums of my life, Quincy Jones has three releases. Three. This is part one of my salute to Q. In this episode, Im playing some of my favorite songs from his albums. Quincy Jones had several albums where he was the headliner but he put together a great, no UNBELIEVABLE AND TALENTED  supporting cast of musicians, writers, and vocalists to achieve his artistic vision. All of the songs here on the episode from albums that bear his name. In the next episode I'll put together my the favorite tracks that he did FOR OTHER ARTISTS...it will showcase Quincy Jones the producer. Quincy Jones may have left the studio. But there's no doubt that his spirit will forever linger on. Enjoy! THANKS FOR LISTENING! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

AND THATS A GOOD QUESTION.  FOR SURE, WHAT THE WORLD MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW AS UK SOUL, WE AS MUSIC LOVERS DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THIS GENRE OF MUSIC EXISTS AND IT’S STILL VERY RELEVANT TODAY, AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE OF WHAT BRITISH/UK SOUL MUSIC DID DURING THE 80’S, 90’S AND INTO THE EARLY 2000’S. 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.

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.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!Back in 2019, I began a series of mixtapes that I would give out to friends called “Jazz and R&B. I dont know what made me think of doing something like that. I think it was because for me, Jazz is something that’s calming, its grooving, its funky, its sad…but out of all of it, Jazz is probably close to being my second favorite so Im always doing different types of mixing with it. There are jazz artists who are some of my faves, and I have saluted several of them and I’ll continue to do so. So, here, Im just continuing my series of some jazz and R&B mixes that Im doing.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!The year is 1991. I’m stationed in Skaggs Island, California…and skkkrrrrtttt…hold up, let me tell you the full story. Okay. In 1989, I left Fort Meade Md. and got orders to NSGA Skaggs Island, Ca. a US Navy site located about 30 minutes north of San Francisco, and 15 minutes west of Vallejo, California. I had made it California and I was verrryy happy. See, back in 1980, I had gone to boot camp in San Diego, and being in California during those short nine weeks left an very strong impression on my life and all since that time, I’d always wanted to get back. Just so happened, in 1989 I was able to secure orders to get back to Cali. I get the orders, and oh my God, I ended living in Marin County CA in a place called Novato. And let me tell you - I loved it. Fast forward to 1991 - It’s 1991. I’ve been selected to attend a special Navy program where I attend college full time for two years to get my degree and let say to you that life is great. It’s during this time that hip-hop is becoming something that I’m getting obsessed about.A Tribe Called Quest. Formed in 1985; from Queens, NY; debuted in 1990 with the release of ‘People’s Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythm’Just selected recently as 2024 members of the Rock and Roll Hall of FameMembers: Jarobi, Phife Dawg (tragically passed away in 2016), Q Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Within four years, the group released four albums that are now considered some of the best music not only in hip-hop, but in all of American music.FOR ME, HEARING A LOW END THEORY IN 1991 WAS A WATERSHED EVENT. EARLIER THAT YEAR I HAD JUST BEGUN A VERY SPECIAL PROGRAM WHILE SERVING ON ACTIVE DUTY IN THE NAVY, A SPECIAL DUTY THAT ALLOWED ME TO ATTEND COLLEGE FULL TIME FOR TWO YEARS UNTIL I GOT MY ASSOCIATES DEGREE. THERE I WAS ON THE CAMPUS OF THE COLLEGE OF MARIN …AKA MARIN COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE, GOING TO SCHOOL AND LITTLE DID I KNOW WAS HOW A TRIBE CALLED QUEST….THE X CLAN…PUBLIC ENEMY…LL COOL J…NWA, POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS AND SO MANY MORE HIP-HOP ACTS WERE GOING TO AFFECT NOT ONLY THAT TIME OF MY LIFE, BUT THE REST OF MY LIFE. IN THIS SETT IM GOING TO BE PLAYING SOME OF MY FAVE HIP-HOP FROM THAT TIME OF MY LIFE. EACH SONG RINGS WITH A SPECIAL MEANING FOR ME, CAUSE THAT TOUR IN THE NAVY WAS FILLED WITH SOME INTERESTING MEMORIES….OPERATION DESERT STORM…THE LOMA PRIETA EARTHQUAKE…THE RODNEY KING POLICE BEATING AND THEN AFTER THE ACQUITTAL, THE RIOTS…THE CHICAGO BULLS DEFEATING THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS FOR THE THEIR FIRST OF 6 NBA TITLES (NOW DONT FORGET, IM ORIGINALLY FROM NORTH CAROLINA AND MJ IS MY MAIN MAN!.....I WAS IN CALIFORNIA DURING ALL OF THESE EVENTS. SO SIT BACK, GET YOUR FAVORITE SIP, OR ROLL UP A SPLIFF…LET’S GO BACK TO NO DOUBT, PROBABLY DURING THE BEGINNING OF ONE OF THE GOLDEN AGES OF HIP-HOP WITH ME! “Verses From The Abstract” ATCQ“Butter” ATCQ“Ring The Alarm (Main)”Fu-Schnikens“Vibes and Stuff”ATCQ“Jazz”ATCQ“Easy Star”Poor Righteous Teachers“Excursions”ATCQ“Buggin Out”ATCQ“Check the Rhime”ATCQ“Scenario”ATCQ“How I could just kill a Man”Cypress Hill“The Choice is Yours”Black Sheep“Ring Ring Ring”De La Soul“Tonite”DJ Quik“Looking at the Front Door”The Main Source“Is it Good to You?”Heavy D and the Boyz ft.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!HOW DO I START, THIS EPISODE IS A BITTERSWEET EPISODE FOR ME. ONE OF MY FAVE MUSICIANS, SAXOPHONIST DAVID SANBORN, PASSED AWAY ON SUNDAY, MAY 12TH, AT THE AGE OF 78. SANBORN HAD BEEN IN A BATTLE WITH PROSTATE CANCER, A BATTLE THAT HE FOUGHT COURAGEOUSLY SINCE 2018. FOR ME, IN MY LIFETIME, DAVID SANBORN WAS ONE OF MY FAVE MUSICIANS BECAUSE HIS MUSIC WAS WITH ME ALL DURING THE 22 1/2 YEARS I SERVED IN THE US NAVY.  I CAN REMEMBER ALL THE WAYYY BACK TO 1981….WHEN I GOT STATIONED IN MISAWA, JAPAN. ONE OF MY REALLY GOOD FRIENDS HAD DAVID SANBORN’S HIDEAWAY ALBUM. I WAS ALWAYS HANGING OUT WITH MY MAN, WE’D BE LISTENING TO ALBUMS FOR HOURS AND HOURS ON END. AND THIS WAS ONE OF HIS RECORDS.  I CAN REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS RECORD AND I JUST BECAME ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZED AND FASCINATED WITH SANBORN’S DISTINCT SAX STYLE. I THINK IT WAS FROM THERE THAT I BECOME A HUGE FAN. OVER THE YEARS I ADDED QUITE A FEW OF HIS CASSETTES, ALBUMS, & AND CD’S TO MY COLLECTION. MY WIFE AND I GOT TO SEE HIM IN 2014 WHEN HE CAME HERE TO HAWAII TO PERFORM AND IT WAS AN AWESOME SHOW. SINCE DAVID’S PASSING THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, MANY TRIBUTES FROM HIS PEERS AND FAN’. IF YOU’RE A FAN OF DAVID SANBORN’S MUSIC AS MUCH AS I AM, AND ALWAYS WILL BE, I HIGHLY ENCORAGE YOU TO GO OUT THERE AND READ THEM. DAVID SANBORN WAS AN ARTIST WHO’S LEFT AN EVERLASTING LEGACY AND FOOTPRINT ON THE WORLD OF MUSIC .MY FAVE DAVID SANBORN ALBUMS: DOUBLE VISION (WITH BOB JAMES, 1986) HIDEAWAY (1980) VOYEUR (1981)STRAIGHT TO THE HEART (1984) THANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU! SO WHO ARE RUN DMC? Run-DMC is originally born and raised in Hollis, Queens, New York City, formed in 1983 by Joseph Simmons (aka “RUN”), Darryl McDaniels (aka DMC) , and Jason Mizell (AKA JAM MASTER JAY). Run-DMC is regarded as one of the most influential acts in the history of hip hop culture and especially one of the most famous hip hop acts of the 1980s. One of the most important things about Run DMC pioneered music, is that they took hardcore rap from a hardcore underground street sensation to to a pop-cuture leading status. And it should be noted that during the time that Run DMC debuted on Profile Records in 1984, that right across town in New York City, Run or Joseph Simmons brother, Russell, was co-founding what would become one of the most influential labels in the history of music, in Def Jam Recordings, along with his college friend, Rick Rubin. One thing of note that I have to mention, is tragically, Jam Master Jay, a founding member of Run DMC, and a pioneering DJ at the birth and early stages of hip hop, was tragically murdered in his Queens NY music studio in 2002. The case had remained unsolved until 2020, when two suspects were arrested, and earlier this year, 2024, both suspects were convicted in his murder.  Along with Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, and Public Enemy, RUN DMC pioneered new-school hip hop music and helped usher in the golden age of hip hop, which is still debated to this day as the best era of hip hop ever! The group was among the first to highlight the importance of the MC and DJ relationship. In 2009, Run-DMC became the second hip hop group (after Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, 2007) to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2016, the group received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.  THANKS FOR LISTENING! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!OKAY, SO WHAT AM I DOING THIS WEEK. WELL, I’M BACK INTO MY 50TH GREATEST LIST, AND THIS EPISODE WILL BE FOCUSING ON ENTRY #42. IN THIS EPISODE, I’M GOING BACK TO BACK TO 1998. 1998 WAS A PIVOTAL YEAR FOR ME. MY MARRIAGE FELL APART, I WAS GOING THROUGH LOTS OF CHANGES WITH THAT, SO GETTING INVOLVED WITH MY MUSIC WAS THE BEST THERAPY. SO, GOING TO THE MUSIC STORE WAS SOMETHING I LOOKED FORWARD TO. I WAS HANGING OUT, A VISIT TO MY FAVORITE RECORD STORE, TOWER RECORDS IN AIEA AND I WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE NEW JOINT FROM MASSIVE ATTACK, ‘MEZZANINE’, FOR THE FIRST TIME. I DIDNT REALLY KNOW WHAT IT WAS BUT IMMEDIATELY, THE SONICS GRABBED ME AND MADE ME PAY ATTENTION.  I WAS HOOKED FOR SURE. 1998 WAS A SOMEWHAT…EMOTIONAL AND A TRANSITIONAL YEAR IN MY LIFE SO MUSIC WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WAS KEEPING MY FOCUSED ON WHAT I NEEDED TO DO. IN DOING SOME READING, I FOUND OUT THAT THE SOUND OF MASSIVE ATTACK WAS BUILT FROM A GENRE CALLED ‘TRIP HOP.’  I HAD NEVER HEARD OF TRIP HOP. TURNS OUTS, TRIP HOP GOT IT’S START IN THE EARLY 1990’S AND ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THIS MOVEMENT WAS A TRIO OF DJ’S, PRODUCERS AND MUSICIANS CALLED THE WILD BUNCH. SO FROM THERE IT BEGAN. IT CAME FROM BRISTOL, ENGLAND. HERE IS AN EXCERT FROM AN ARTICLE https://www.masterclass.com/articles/trip-hop-music-guide  "It is characterized by its downtempo, atmospheric sound, and use of samples and loops. The genre's pioneers include Massive Attack, Portishead, and Tricky. Trip hop has influenced a wide range of other genres, including hip hop, R&B, and electronica. Some popular trip hop artists include Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, DJ Shadow, Bonobo, and Morcheeba. These artists are known for their unique soundscapes and atmospheric production, which often incorporate elements of dub, electronica, and hip hop. Trip hop has also influenced a wide range of other genres, including chillwave, downtempo, and ambient music. "SINCE FIRST GETTING DOWN WITH MASSIVE ATTACK IN 1998, THE MUSICAL PALETTE THAT WAS BORN FROM TRIP HOP EXPANDED INTO SUCH GENRES AS DOWNTEMPO, CHILL OUT, LOUNGE. DUBSTEP & DRUM AND BASS. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS JOURNEY OF SUPER DOPE GROOVES AND MELODIES FROM SOME OF THE BEST IN TRIP HOP.  MASSIVE ATTACK IS #42 ON MY LIST OF THE 50TH BEST ALBUMS & RECORDS OF MY LIFETIME. Playlist for this Set:“ANGEL” (FROM MEZZANINE, 1998)MASSIVE ATTACK“EXCHANGE” (FROM MEZZANINE, 1998)MASSIVE ATTACK“LIKUFENELE” (FROM SIMPLE THINGS, 2001)ZERO 7“ALL MINE” (FROM PORTISHEAD, 1997)PORTISHEAD“DESTINY” (FROM SIMPLE THINGS, 2001)ZERO 7“THE SEA” (MORCHEEBA, 1998)MORCHEEBA“CLIMBING UP THE WALLS” (ZERO 7 REMIXFrom ‘OK COMPUTER, 1997)RADIOHEAD “TEARDROP” (FROM MEZZANINE, 1998)MASSIVE ATTACK“MIDNIGHT IN A PERFECT WORLD (1996)DJ SHADOW“RISING SON” (MEZZANINE, 1998)MASSIVE ATTACK“SAFE FROM HOME” (FROM ‘BLUE LINES, 1991)  MASSIVE ATTACK“PROTECTION” (FROM ‘PROTECTION’’, 1994)MASSIVE ATTACK“PITCH THE BABY” (FROM ‘HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAS, 1990)COCTEAU TWINS‘LOW PLACE LIKE HOME” (FROM ‘BECOMING X, 1996)   SNEAKER PIMPS“SOUR TIMES” (PORTISHEAD, 1994)PORTISHEAD“MEZZANINE” (1998)MASSIVE ATTACK“EXCHANGE (VOCAL, 1998)MASSIVE ATTACKTHANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!THIS IS MY SECOND EPISODE WHERE I FOCUS ON A PROMINENT MUSIC PRODUCER. AND IN THIS EPISODE, I’M FOCUSING ON ONE OF THE MOST SLEPT ON ARTISTS IN MUSIC. ‘SLEPT ON’ MEANS OVERLOOKED OR MISUNDERSTOOD AND FOR SURE, I BELIEVE THAT LEON SYLVERS III HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT OVERLOOKED. WHEN YOU CONSIDER AND LOOK AT HIS BODY OF WORK IT’S  ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN HE’S ONE OF MUSIC’S UNDERRATED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED MUSIC PRODUCERS. BACK IN 1972, HE BURST ON THE MUSIC SCENE AS A MEMBER OF THE SINGING GROUP, ‘THE SYLVERS’ - WHICH WAS COMPRISED OF LEON AND SEVERAL OF HIS SIBLINGS. BETWEEN 1972 AND 1974, THE SYLVERS RELEASED THREE ALBUMS, MOSTLY PRODUCED BY R&B LEGEND JERRY BUTLER, AND ALL OF THESE YIELDED SEVERAL POPULAR R&B AND POP HITS. BUT LITTLE WHAT WAS KNOWN, WAS THAT LEON HAD WRITTEN THE MAJORITY OF THOSE SONGS, THE SONGS GAINED THE SYLVERS NATIONAL ATTENTION AND PRAISE.   IN MID 1978, LEON PRODUCED THE SYLVERS MOST CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ALBUM TITLED ‘FOREVER YOURS’ BUT IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER THAT WHEN HE DECIDED TO PURSUE A FULL TIME CAREER AS A PRODUCER. HE JOINED R&B AGENT AND GOOD FRIEND OF DON CORNELIUS, DICK GRIFFEY - WHO WITH CORNELIUS’ HELP, CREATED ‘SOUNDS OF LOS ANGELES RECORDS’ OR SOLAR, WHEN SYLVERS BECAME THE LEAD IN-HOUSE PRODUCER FOR THE LABEL. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT LEON SYLVERS WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN CREATING ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC SOUNDS EVER TO HIT THE R&B AND POP RADIO AIRWAVES. FROM 1978 TO THE MID 1980’S, LEON SYLVERS WORKED WITH, EITHER OR AS A SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, AND/OR REMIXER, GROUPS SUCH AS LAKESIDE, SHALAMAR, THE WHISPERS, MIDNIGHT STAR, KRYSTOL, DYNASTY, CARRIE LUCAS,  AND KLYMAXX. HE WAS ALSO AN INTEGRAL PART IN THE EARLY SUCCESS OF THE PRODUCTION DUO OF JIMMY JAM & TERRY LEWIS. IN 1994, HE ALSO WORKED WITH UBER PRODUCER THE LEGENDARY TEDDY RILEY, AND HIS GROUP BLACKSTREET, IN CON-WRITING ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST HITS, “BEFORE I LET YOU GO.”   LEON SYLVERS IS ONE OF MUSIC’S MOST VISIONARY PRODUCERS, ESPECIALLY FOR R&B MUSIC BEGINNING IN THE LATE 1970’S AND PUSHING WELL INTO THE 80’S, HIS LEGACY HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. THANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I DO DIFFERENT THINGS ON THE PODCAST. I TRY TO GIVE YOU A NEW FLAVOR, A NEW IDENTITY, A NEW CONSCIOUSNESS.  DURING THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF OCTOBER, MY WIFE AND I WENT ON VACATION, AND DURING THAT TIME I WAS THINKING WHAT OTHER WAYS OF GREAT MUSIC, CONTENT AND VIBE CAN I GIVE YOU. SINCE I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF PRODUCERS, I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, AND I SAID, “LET’S GIVE A SALUTE TO THE PRODUCERS”. NOW, IT’S 50 YEARS OF HIP HOP AND I STILL HAVE TO GIVE MY SALUTE TO THE HIP-HOP PRODUCERS….BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHERS? IF YOU KNOW ME, AND YOU’VE BEEN LISTENING TO THE SHOWS, YOU KNOW THAT I’VE DONE SEVERAL EPISODES ON THE GENIUS AND LEGACY OF QUINCY JONES. MOST OF WHAT HE’S DONE HAS BEEN AS A PRODUCER AND AND ARRANGER. BUT FOR SURE, I HAVE OTHER PRODUCERS THAT I’M VERY FOND OF AND  I APPRECIATE AND ADMIRE. SOOOOOO, THAT’S WHERE I’M GOING TO GO ON THE NEXT COUPLE OF EPISODES, I’VE DECIDED TO CALL THESE EPISODES, ‘PRODUCERS OF A LIFETIME’ AND IN THIS EPISODE, I GIVE A SALUTE TO THE MAN SIMPLY KNOWN AS ‘JD’ - THATS JERMAINE DUPRI, FOUNDER OF SO SO DEF RECORDS. IN 2023, JD AND SO SO DEF CELEBRATE 30 YEARS. JERMAINE DUPRI WAS A YOUNG TEENAGER WHEN HE WAS A DANCER, BUSTING MOVES FOR WHODINI, AND OPENING FOR RUN DMC, GRANDMASTER FLASH, DURING THE FRESH FEST IN THE MID 80'S. FAST FORWARD TO 1991, HE'S A BUDDING MUSIC PRODUCER WHEN HE DISCOVERS TWO EXCITING YOUNG RAPPERS AT A LOCAL MALL. HE WOULD CALL THEM 'KRISS KROSS' AND THEY WOULD CHANGE TO HIP-HOP (AND FASHION!) LANDSCAPE. SINCE JD BEGAN HIS LABEL IN 1993, CALLED SO SO DEF, HE HAS WRITTEN SONGS AND BUILT DOPE, SLICK, THUMPING BEATS AND GROOVES FOR ARTISTS SUCH AS USHER, MARIAH CAREY, JANET JACKSON, ALICIA KEYS, TLC, BOW WOW, JUST TO NAME A FEW. NOMINATED FOR 12 GRAMMYS (WINNING 1), JERMAINE DUPRI'S TASTE FOR THE STREET BLENDS WELL WITH SOPHISTICATED LYRICS OF LOVE, HEARTBREAK, SACRIFICE AND LONGING.  THIS EPISODE SALUTES HIS DEDICATION TO HIS CRAFT AND ALLOWS YOU TO GO DEEP INTO HIS UNCANNY ABILITY TO CREATE DOPE TRACKS FOR THE CLUB AND FOR THE BEDROOM! ENJOY AS I GIVE YOU ONE OF MY PRODUCERS OF A LIFETIME - BLAZE STREET MUSIC CELEBRATES JERMAINE DUPRI AND 30 YEARS OF SO SO DEF RECORDS. THANKS FOR LISTENING! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!What is it about the 1980’s that gives me so many memories? What a silly question! Its because the beginning of the 1980’s was the beginning of my adult life and it was the beginning of the rest of my life, a life of service and great adventure unlike any other. In September 1980, at the age of 17, I left my home of Winston-Salem, NC and joined the US Navy. My late cousin and I, Adam Wayne Love, had actually signed up during the beginning of our senior year in high school, back in the fall of 1979. Adam and I were best friends and cousins, and God gave us the opportunity to serve our country. We'd talked about joining the military, I dont really know who convinced who, but somehow the thought of us serving together became a dream that we just didnt want to let go of. But the real true gem of this story is that Adam and I got to go to boot camp together in San Diego, CA  from September to November 1980 - and that in and of itself, was a blessing that I will never, ever forget. So, my love affair with the 80’s began for sure during the summer of 1980. But my true love of music (which had went with me when I joined the Navy), took a big leap in December 1982, while I was stationed in Hawaii. It was there that I first got the 'dj' bug, and it would stay with me for the rest of my life! As the decade moved on, my lust and craving for all things music was in full power because for me, the 80’s was THE BEST DECADE OF MUSIC!! I mean the 80’s had everything: big hair rock bands, funky ass soul groups, something new from England and the UK called ‘new wave’ and ‘punk’, then there was best dance music that was ever created, as well as some dope ass R&B - AND HIP-HOP! But guess what else came from the 80’s - some of the best female vocalists ever to sing the glorious beauty and love of music! It’s hard for me to put my love of the ‘Ladies of the 80’s’ into two shows and to be honest, I’m probably going to have to do at least one more show because the body of music of women in the 80’s, I find it hard pressed that even since then, there’s not been too much of any other decade or generation that has come close to the bar that was set by the women musical artists of the 80’s. So sit back and go on this journey with me as I share with you some of my favorite female artists from the 80’s, and their wonderful contributions to the wonderful world of music.  These episodes features music from Angela Winbush, Stephanie Mill, Heart, Anita Baker, Jody Watley, Lisa  Lisa, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin,  Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, Phyllis Hyman and Angela Bofill, Banarama, and Pat Benatar. LET’S GOO! BLAZE STREET MUSIC AND MUSIC OF A LIFETIME SALUTES THE LADIES OF THE 80’S!! THANKS FOR LISTENING! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

In September 1980, at the age of 17, I left my home of Winston-Salem, NC and joined the US Navy. My late cousin and I, Adam Wayne Love, had actually signed up during the beginning of our senior year in high school, back in the fall of 1979. Adam and I were best friends and cousins, and God gave us the opportunity to serve our country. We'd talked about joining the military, I dont really know who convinced who, but somehow the thought of us serving together became a dream that we just didnt want to let go of. But the real true gem of this story is that Adam and I got to go to boot camp together in San Diego, CA  from September to November 1980 - and that in and of itself, was a blessing that I will never, ever forget. So, my love affair with the 80’s began for sure during the summer of 1980. But my true love of music (which had went with me when I joined the Navy), took a big leap in December 1982, while I was stationed in Hawaii. It was there that I first got the 'dj' bug, and it would stay with me for the rest of my life! As the decade moved on, my lust and craving for all things music was in full power because for me, the 80’s was THE BEST DECADE OF MUSIC!! I mean the 80’s had everything: big hair rock bands, funky ass soul groups, something new from England and the UK called ‘new wave’ and ‘punk’, then there was best dance music that was ever created, as well as some dope ass R&B - AND HIP-HOP! But guess what else came from the 80’s - some of the best female vocalists ever to sing the glorious beauty and love of music! It’s hard for me to put my love of the ‘Ladies of the 80’s’ into two shows and to be honest, I’m probably going to have to do at least one more show because the body of music of women in the 80’s, I find it hard pressed that even since then, there’s not been too much of any other decade or generation that has come close to the bar that was set by the women musical artists of the 80’s. So sit back and go on this journey with me as I share with you some of my favorite female artists from the 80’s, and their wonderful contributions to the wonderful world of music.  These episodes features music from Angela Winbush, Stephanie Mill, Heart, Anita Baker, Jody Watley, Lisa  Lisa, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin,  Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, Phyllis Hyman and Angela Bofill, Banarama, and Pat Benatar. THANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!Jam out with me as I present to you the first volume of hip-hop mixes that I’m doing for the podcast as it’s 2023 and we’re celebrating 50 years of hip-hop! There is soo much hip-hop music. I first fell in love with “rap” in 1979 when the Sugarhill Gang came out with their monster smash, “Rapper’s Delight” and a lot of historians say that this song was the “official” first rap song. I would say, well…that’s probably true but what about “King Tim the Third” a song by the Fatback Band that came out a few months before Rappers Delight? Regardless, no matter how you debate that, one thing for sure, is it was actually on 11 August 1973 when DJ Kool Herc, a Jamaican born immigrant from the Bronx, performed ‘the merry go round’ technique of mixing two songs back to back to get the “breakbeat” or the best part of the song going. DJ Kool Herc had the BEST soundsystem and with that, he had a special mixing skill and played the best part of the music to get everyone dancing and having a good time. DJ Kool Herc played some of the best soul, funk and R&B songs during those days for his sister 's party at their apartment located in the Bronx housing complex on this fateful, historical day in August. Nobody knew - but this event would birth the most significant and life changing cultural movement of a lifetime! It would become known as "hip hop" and it would leave the Bronx neighborhood and literally take over the world! during the last 50 years, the movement, the culture, the lifestyle, the music and the social impact of what is today called “Hip Hop” has without a doubt, changed the entire world. This is my first salute mix to the music that not only changed my life, but millions and millions from all walks of life, all colors, creeds and people from around the world! HIP HOP IS 50 AND BLAZE STREET MUSIC SALUTES THIS LIFE CHANGING CULTURE OF OUR LIVES! Hit me up on my studio line at 669-696 -8188.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!This episode sort of begins a new series, or shall I say it’s a RENEWAL of a series of music that I did for my website (which is blazestreetmusic.com) and a break off of a series did I for my Mixcloud page.  For episode #20 I decided to do some music from some of my favorite jazz artists, specifically the keyboard artists that I really, really like. I LOVE JAZZ MUSIC, I think that I’ve shown how much I love of jazz music, ever since I launched my podcast. Of the 50th Greatest Albums and Records of a Lifetime of my music, there are at least 5 different jazz or jazz related artists that are on my list. As I’ve said many times before, my Dad turned me onto jazz music at a very young age, and since then, it’s followed me every place I've ever been and lived!  Over the years, my jazz collection has grown to over several hundred jazz albums and CD’s and its still growing! So this sett will feature music from Alex Bugnon, Brian Culbertson, George Duke, Jeff Lorber, Ramsey Lewis, Christoph Spendel, and Ben Tankard. Sit back, get you a cup of your favorite “sippy sip”, or a spliff, whatever it is, relax, kick up your feet and chill with me. It’s episode #20 of my podcast – THANK YOU for getting me this far and dont go nowhere because we’ve only just begun. LET’S GO. Hit me up on my studio line at 669-696 -8188.

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!The Brothers Johnson were an American funk and R&B band consisting of the American brothers George ("Lightnin' Licks") and Louis E. Johnson ("Thunder Thumbs"). Quincy Jones hired them to play on his LP Mellow Madness, and recorded four of their songs, including "Is It Love That We're Missing?" and "Just a Taste of Me"The music of the Brothers Johnson has been with me since I was a teenager. Because I loved watching Soul Train so much, I was always in front of the tube just see some of my favorite artists and of course, to see all of the great dancers who got down on Soul Train. I remember seeing Quincy Jones come on, and he said this song that I found out later was with these cats called “The Brothers Johnson. It was their song “Strawberry Letter 23”, which was actually a remake of song originally written and recorded by Shuggie Otis in 1971, this was the song that got our attention in the hood. The Brothers Johnson version was an absolute hit in the hood and was played all the time on the radio station WAAA and WQMG. I continued to follow their career and listening to the music and also, it’s very important to point out the George and Louis Johnson began their career’s with Quincy Jones, as he’d hired them to perform on 1975’s “Mellow Madness” but later one, they’d get hired to play in many, many sessions with him and other artists and their careers as session musicians grew. Tragically, Louis “Thunder Thumbs” Johnson passed away suddenly in 2015. To me the legacy of the Brothers Johnson continues and I’ll always be playing their music in my classic R&B, Ol Skool and Jazz setts. Playlist:“You Keep Me coming back” ““Aint we Funkin Now”“Get The Funk Out my Face” “In the Way” "I'll Be Good to You" “Land of Ladies”“Q” "Strawberry Letter 23"“Runnin for Your Lovin” “Is it Love that We’re Missing” THANKS FOR LISTENING!

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!Why am I doing this show? During my times of djing on base at Hickam AFB from 2003 until 2013, the crew of DJ's that I rolled with, we named ourselves "Uptown Productions" (Doc Jay, DJ DLD, DJ Lambchop, and myself), there were a few times in in those years when we put on a special presentation at the club. It was maybe one or two special occasions but one for sure that was special, came during the month of August. We always chose one Saturday night in August when we would "dress up" the club, bring in our posters, dress up in our special gear and make sure that we put the word out on all the airwaves lol. In August we always celebrated the birthday of Michael Joseph Jackson. The King of Pop. The G.O.A.T aka the World's Greatest Entertainer. We lost MJ in 2009 and I will never ever ever  forget that day! But since then, I think my love and adoration of MJ's music and legacy has grown more & more. When I dig in the crates and I'm putting together an old school sett for a friend or for a mix for my Mixcloud or You Tube channels, I always go through all of my Michael Jackson songs very carefully. I listen to his voice more closely. I watch his videos more intensely. I listen to his interviews more intently. Michael Jackson has left this world. But to me he's still here. So in this episode, I wanted to try and break down the true legacy and bring more emphasis to what he did with his magnanimous recording of 'Thriller', and of course, I added in some other songs he did with his brothers when they were all The Jackson Five, and later on, The Jacksons.   The 'Thriller' LP was released on 30 November, 1982 but did you know that of the seven 10 Ten songs that 'Thriller' birthed - six of them were released in 1983. YES, SIX OF THE SEVEN TOP TEN SONGS FROM THRILLER WERE RELEASED IN 1983 - 40 YEARS AGO. This is why I'm doing this episode because I want to celebrate MJ's birthday just like I used to do when I was djing in the club with my friends AND I want to recognize what I think is the real 40th year of Thriller. I hope you can understand and appreciate the impact that Michael Jackson left on the world. He was a child music star, in his young years he starred in movies, and by the time he was 25 years, he had recorded what would become the biggest selling album in the history of music and in doing so, he would forever cement his legacy as one of the biggest music stars EVER in the world of music. I hope you enjoy this episode as I retrace some of the best songs from his catalog and celebrate the BIRTHDAY AND LEGACY OF THE G.O.A.T - HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL JACKSON - WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS! THANKS FOR LISTENING!
