Cupid’s Hunt 2013: WAR-LOVE!…
Filed under: CupidsHunt, Holiday, LOVE, Podcast Collabs, podcasts/mixes, R&B, RIBS, valentine's day
WAR. One of my favorite ‘funk’ bands. They are probably second only to Sly and the Family Stone in that regard. (of course, my all-time, favorite bands is a conversation for another day. Hmmm, might even make a good subject for a future podcast!)
Anyway, the thing is… I think the bands that get noticed and praised for their up-tempo/dance music also get the short end of the stick and not enough credit for the beautiful ballads and instrumentals that many of them produce. WAR is one such group that is a great example of this.
Go ahead, ask folks what their favorite WAR songs are. They’ll mention “Cisco Kid”, “Low Rider”, “Slippin’ Into Darkness”, “Why Can’t We Be Friends?”, maybe a few others. The closest they might come to a “mellow” tune from the group might be the jazzy, mid-tempo “The World Is A Ghetto”. I doubt that you’ll hear answers like “All Day Music”, “Deliver The Word”, “I’ll Take Care Of You” or “Don’t Let No One Get You Down”.
Hopefully, with this playlist you’ll hear a different side of WAR, a mellow side of WAR. THIS is a Cupid’s Hunt Podcast mix…

Cupid’s Hunt 2013: Anita & Syreeta-LOVE!…
Filed under: CupidsHunt, Holiday, LOVE, Podcast Collabs, podcasts/mixes, R&B, RIBS, soul, valentine's day
Anita Baker. Syreeta Wright. Two singers that I’ve not done a lot with here on RIBS. Hopefully, this mix will go a long way towards changing that.
Anita was one of the premier divas of the 80’s producing 5 very well received albums and many hit singles between the years 1983 and 1994. After a 10 year hiatus in which she decided to spend time with her new family, Anita reemerged in 2004 with the album “My Everything” and a Christmas album in 2005 titled “Christmas Fantasy”. She’s been touring and performing again ever since and has a new album “Only Forever” that is due out soon.
Syreeta, the former Mrs. Stevie Wonder (the two were married for a short time from September 1970 until the summer of 1972), was a longtime collaborator of Stevie’s. Remaining best friends, Wright would continue to provide background vocals and compositions with Wonder for the next two decades. In addition to her solo work, Syreeta would also have successful collaborations with Billy Preston and G.C. Cameron before succumbing to cancer in 2004 at the age of 57.

Cupid’s Hunt 2013: Valuniquic’s Sexy Songs…
Filed under: CupidsHunt, Holiday, LOVE, Podcast Collabs, podcasts/mixes, R&B, RIBS, valentine's day
(NOTE: BTW, that’s pronounced “VAL-YOU-KNEEK”. Just in case you were trying to figure that out. {smile})
When “Mrs. Brilliant” sits down while you’re mixing music and starts making song suggestions, it’s a good thing to stop and listen to what she has to say. I must say considering how this turned out, I’m glad I did!
This one’s for Valuniquic. She’s been my special valentine for 20+ years now, and there’s no end in sight. How lucky can one guy get?

Cupid’s Hunt 2013: El Slick–“I Wish You Love”, part 1
Filed under: CupidsHunt, Holiday, LOVE, Podcast Collabs, podcasts/mixes, R&B, RIBS, soul, valentine's day
I know a person that’s become a good friend. He goes by the handle of “El Slick”. He is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to music and this year I finally was able to convince him to do a podcast mix for Cupid’s Hunt. I can’t tell how much this pleases me (and how much it will please you when you hear his selections).
So, while El Slick may be a “rookie” in terms of participating in the annual Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration event, you’ll soon hear that he is hardly that when it comes to putting together a good set of music.!
This is a Cupid’s Hunt Podcast mix and El Slick says, "I Wish You Love”

Cupid’s Hunt 2012: Con Funk Shun-LOVE!
Filed under: CupidsHunt, LOVE, Podcast Collabs, podcasts/mixes, R&B, RIBS, soul, valentine's day
Note: don’t forget to check out the master CH post, “The HUNT Is On!” for links to all of the Cupid’s Hunt 2012 podcast mixes!
This year we’re going to focus on the group Con Funk Shun. They are one of my all-time favorite funk bands from back in the day. Now, while they could pump it up and funk it out as good as any group back then, they also had great harmony and could belt out some beautiful love ballads. As a matter of fact, I think their ballads and mellow tunes get overlooked quite often when folks talk about the best love songs ever made. We hope to change that with this collection songs.
If you are familiar with Con Funk Shun, you know that the group consisted of:
- Michael Cooper – guitar, lead vocals
- Karl Fuller – trumpet, vocals
- Paul "Maceo" Harrell – saxophone, flute, vocals
- Cedric Martin – bass, vocals
- Louis A. McCall Sr. – drums, percussion, vocals
- Felton Pilate – trombone, keyboards, guitar, lead vocals
- Danny "Sweet Man" Thomas – keyboards, vocals
…and you’ll also recognize the beautiful ballads:
"Love’s Train”
You will hear all of those and many more. As a matter of fact, unlike a lot of groups, Con Funk Shun would also pop in a melodic instrumental cut, just like the song “Seascape” that starts off the mix
OK, it’s time for the music. It’s time for LOVE. This is a Cupid’s Hunt Podcast mix. Enjoy!
