RIBS TPTD: B.B. and Q. Band, Slave, Aurra…

Another Thursday, and another batch of tasty RIBS to satisfy your musical appetite!

This week we actually put together a mix in our regular, standard format (hey, imagine that! {smile}). AAMOF, let me give a shout out to my friend Ken who I was hanging out with over the Memorial Day weekend. He suggested the B.B. and Q. Band and Slave for this week’s mix. He also gave me a couple of suggestions for a third group to round out the trio and, silly me, I didn’t write any of the names down and couldn’t remember them {sigh}. So I did the next best thing and choose a group that would compliment the other two and that turned out to be Aurra. If you remember anything about the history of Slave and Aurra you’ll recall that Starlena Young, Curt Jones, Stevie Washington and Tom Lockett, Jr. started out as members of Slave and then broke away in 1981 to form Aurra.

Another shout out must go to the man I affectionately refer to as “The PodFather”, brother EJ Flavors himself, for helping out with many of the song selections this week.

So… we have some 80s era funk for you this week, some of it from Ohio (Slave, Aurra), some of it from New York (B.B. and Q. Band) but ALL of it from right here at Rhythms In Black Satin!
