RIBS TPTD: “Double Triple”-More Marvin, More Teddy, More Luther…
Filed under: Double-Triple, R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, podcasts/mixes, soul
As the saying goes, “So nice, I had to do it twice!”
Man, I’ve been waiting all week to share this one with you! Last week when I posted the first Marvin/Teddy/Luther mix (fast jams), I called it one of my 5 best. After jamming to it almost non-stop all week (in the car, at work, at home, in my dreams while I’m sleeping {smile}) I still feel that way. BUT… as good as these three are at funking it up, the real test was to lay down a mix of their slow, mellow, sensual melodies. I mean, which of us at one time or another when THAT moment was just right hasn’t thought to ourselves, “put on some Marvin” (or Teddy, or Luther)? I KNOW you know what I’m talkin’ ’bout! {smile}
The only problem, of course, with trying to make a slow jams playlist from this trio is that there is no way to do it justice in a single mix that would fit on one CD with only 80 minutes of audio recording time. So that is the main reason for the two entrees being served up from the RIBS kitchen today, something I like to refer to as a “Double-Triple”. Truthfully, with the vast catalog that Marvin, Teddy and Luther have given us, I could have easily made 2 or 3 MORE mixes to share with you today.
It goes without saying that these three are masters of the craft of sweet, soul music. Their stylings are very different from one another, each having a sound that is uniquely his own, yet separately and together they have established the standard by which all who come after them are judged by.
Time to sit back, relax, snuggle wit-cho-baby (don’t try this at work though; LOL!) and listen to the masters show us how it is done as we present to you parts 2 and 3 of…

RIBS TPTD: Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass & Luther Vandross (fast)…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, podcasts/mixes, soul
Well… it’s a day late (sorry ’bout dat) but I think it is definitely worth the wait! AAMOF, I have been grooving to this one on the commute back and forth to works all week long and I think this is one of my 5 best playlists. Of course, I am very interested in your opinion on that and whether you agree with me (or not! [smile]).
I know I really don’t have to introduce our trio of artists today. If you are any kind of fan of Soul/R&B music I am quite sure you just might have heard of at least one of these three fellows once, maybe twice before {smile}. These three, IMHO, are the torch bearers of that sweet, soulful, “let’s turn the lights down low and snuggle close to each other” R&B sound. While it certainly didn’t originate with Marvin (there were many before him, such as Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson for example) I think that he (Marvin) took it heights that it had never seen before. And then it was passed to Teddy. And then it passed over to Luther. My question now is though, who’s holding the torch today? My initial thought is no one. Maybe you disagree, leave me a comment and let me know.

RIBS TPTD: “Flight Time” More Sky High Jazz (Mizell Brothers)
Filed under: RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes
A week ago I posted a Jazz mix, “Sky High Jazz, Too (Mizell Brothers)”, featuring artists produced by Larry and Fonce Mizell and their Sky High Productions company. This era (mid 70s to early 80s) was my introduction to the wonderful rhythms and musical diversity of the great American art form known as Jazz and the Mizell produced albums from that time have a special place in my heart.
This week I continue the in the same theme and we delve once again into the Mizell Brothers’ catalog with another collection of “Sky High” music. Today’s playlist is heavily populated with Donald Byrd cuts, having five of my favorites from him in addition to selections from the other usual suspects: Bobbi Humphrey, Gary Bartz, Johnny Hammond, A Taste Of Honey, The Blackbyrds and Rance Allen.
OK, it’s kick back and relax time as the sounds of the Mizell Brothers continue to flow forth from the RIBS kitchen as we present to you…

RIBS TPTD: Sky High Jazz, Too (Mizell Brothers)
Last week I shared with you my Outlaw mix, a playlist I made back in the college daze days that has been one of my favorite mixes for over 20 years. This week I’m sharing with you a new playlist of songs, BUT it has it’s origin in another mix I’ve been very fond of for years.
Back in the days before RIBS (and my other site, NetInfoWeb.com) was born I used to search the ‘Net for good Soul, R&B and/or Jazz music because I was (and still am AAMOF) disenchanted with the state of commercial radio. On one of these wanderings I found a cool site called Mix Of The Week, where a number of different DJs would post music mixes for download. While the collection of mixes on the site runs the full gamut of the musical spectrum there was one particular mix that I immediately and forever fell in love with, mix #244 SkyHi by a DJ known as Entity. The beauty of this mix is that it is a collection of songs from the various artists produced by the legendary team of Sky High Productions, Larry and Fonce Mizell, a.k.a the Mizell Brothers.
Together these two were responsible for producing some of my favorite artists back in the 70s/early 80s: Bobbi Humphrey, Donald Byrd, Gary Bartz, L.T.D., A Taste Of Honey, The Blackbyrds and many more.
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I have played and listened to this mix. It is as if the DJ made the playlist just for me. Of course as much as I liked SkyHi there were a lot of other Mizell produced songs that were not in this mix and over time I started to think about putting together another “Sky High” mix that hopefully would capture the flavor of MOTW #244 that I originally fell in love with.
Well, it took a while to locate and acquire all of the Mizell produced disks I needed but I have finally put together my own playlist of “Mizell music” and I am happy to share it with you today. So sit back and enjoy a Rhythms In Black Satin take on music produced by the legendary Mizell Brothers as I present to you…
