RIBS TPTD: Duos & Duets, part 1…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, podcasts/mixes, soul
Hey! Good to see you again. I’ve got something really nice on the RIBS buffet table for ya this week.
One of the musical things I’ve always been very fond of are Duos (2-person groups) and Duets (solo artists that collaborate on a single song or, in some cases, an entire album). So I decided to pull a few of my favorites together and whip them up for a RIBS mix. Problem is I was having some trouble at first coming up enough songs for a full mix, so I put out an A.P.B. on Twitter to see if anyone of the wonderful folks in my community had some suggestions. As usual they came through, and in one instance came through BIG TIME!
At this time, before I start rambling on and on {smile}, I would like to send out a heartfelt “Thank You!” to Trelly for her help, assistance and inspiration in preparing the RIBS this week. AAMOF, I’ve given her the title of Co-Chef for this mix. This lady sent me an extensive list of songs and artists that really got me going in the right direction. BTW, if you are an up and coming and/or independent artist or group you need to get to know this lady. Trelly is the co-founder of One Nation Under The Soul Shack (ONUTSS) an indie soul promotion company. Check them out. Highly Recommended!
Also, let me send “greetings and salutations” to another Twitter contributor to the D&D mix for this week, SoulUK. If you are looking for an interesting site with quality information about soul music, the Soul:UK website is well worth a visit.
You know I got so energized by the song suggestions I was getting from my online Fam that I really started digging around in my collection and researching things online at a feverish pitch. But, I think I may have gone a little overboard though. You see, when I finally stopped and analyzed all of the music I found out I had over 8 hours worth of music. Oh boy! Since a single mix (that will fit on a CD) is only 80 minutes, that would mean that a lot of good stuff would have to be left out. I really didn’t want to do that so I thought it would be a good idea to have a “Duos & Duets” day on RIBS every month (at least for the rest of the year) so we could get a listen to all of this great music. Trelly agreed {smile} and it was decided that the D&D mix will be a regular feature on RIBS every last Thursday of the month.
OK! Let’s get on to the music, as we present to you…

RIBS TPTD: More Randy Crawford…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Hey, welcome back, again. Another week (O.K., O.K., it’s actually been 2 weeks) and another edition of RIBS… a.k.a. “Rhythms In Black Satin”… a.k.a. “The Taste of Music to Satisfy Your Soul!” {smile}
Anyway… I have a confession to make, I’m suffering from an addiction. No, not THAT kind! (geez, what kind of a person do you think I am? On second thought, do me a favor, don’t answer that question {smile}) O.K. now, where was I… oh yeah, my confession. Yep, I have to confess I am hopelessly hooked/addicted/over the edge and I’m not exactly sure when it will end.
Actually, maybe some of you fine music lovers have suffered from the same thing I am currently experiencing. As a matter of fact, I’m sure you have. Alright, let me explain. You see sometimes when I’m futzing around in the RIBS kitchen having a good ol’ time mixing up this and mixing up that for the latest recipe, I get hooked on one of the ingredients. And even after the RIBS come out of the oven and are placed on the buffet table for the week, I still have a craving for one particular ingredient I used to make those RIBS with. I just can’t seem to get enough of it, no matter how much I consume.
This is what has been happening to me for the past couple of weeks. If you recall, two weeks ago I cooked up a very tasty batch of RIBS (IMHO) that featured Patrice Rushen, Stephanie Mills & Randy Crawford. Ever since then I’ve fallen in love with Randy Crawford all over again (just like I did when I first heard her on the Crusaders’ smash hit “Street Life” back in 1979!) It got so bad that while listening to the Patrice-Stephanie-Randy mix I found myself skipping over the Stephanie and Patrice cuts repeatedly to listen to the Randy Crawford songs in the mix. Oh boy!
Well, in an effort to cure myself of this addiction or, even better, to get you addicted also so you can “suffer” along with me {smile} this week I just had to cook up a complete mix with just Randy on it. Ahhhhhhh, I just love this woman’s voice and enjoy listening to her sing.
So… as Diana so eloquently put it, “If there’s a cure for this, I don’t want it!” Join me and let us “suffer” along together as I present to you…
