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]).

  1. Marvin Gaye
  2. Teddy Pendergrass
  3. Luther Vandross

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.

  6. RIBS TPTD: Double-Triple - More Marvin, More Teddy, More Luther… : RIBS: Rhythms In Black Satin on Thu, 26th Mar 2009 12:03 pm

    7. [...] 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 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} [...]

Tell me what you're thinking...
