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…
