Now playing some sweet Soul, R&B and Funk

Just a guitar, great songwriting and a gorgeous voice

Great new R&B duets aren’t as plentiful as the old days. Love this new one.

Sounds like it was recorded on a cassette in a toilet, but, so full of soul. You need both parts:

Only 1 11" long but my favourite J. Dilla track, re-channeling Smokey to an emotionally intense level. Just leave it on repeat for an hour or two:

It’s Bernard’s five note run at 5’ 21" that gets me. Anyone else at their gig at the Glasgow Apollo 1/10/79 ?

Wow, the first mention of J Dilla anywhere on this forum - thank you sir. Great track and agree, far too short. Gone too soon too.

Time to bust out a classic. While Thriller sold in mega numbers and Bad took more risks, musically this is my fav MJ album.

I use this album as a reference for auditioning gear, probably more than any other, only because I’ve probably listened to it more than any other since I was a kid. The production ain’t bad either :smile:

I’m using my platform for #JanetJacksonAppreciation day for a slightly different reason: as a voting member of the @RockHall its criminal that @JanetJackson has NOT been inducted yet. 32 years ago today #Control dropped AND CHANGED EVERYTHING: including her brother AND the mentor of her producers jimmy & terry. Whether we credit it or not: Control was the first #NewJackSwing album. Yeah it was breakbeat free, but the young brash attitude made it a first. This was NOONEs kid sister. Prince famously drove to @flytetymejam’s house and threw the record at his door zero o’clock in the morning (hey, if you ain’t got no haters you ain’t poppin) not to take away from her peers in the RRHOF that made marks in the 80s. But half of them can NOT claim they changed music (this is just one album mind you) I know this tag is for other reasons but of all the double standard injustices, her not being inducted is HIGHLY criminal.

Known as Angie B from her hip hop days (with The Sequence) she reconverted to “neo soul”, whatever that means…
