Cupid’s Hunt 2013: Anita & Syreeta-LOVE!…

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: El Slick–“I Wish You Love”, part 1

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”

Obama–The Second Time Around…

November 6, 2012. Truly a “Night To Remember”!

After the successful re-election of President Obama on that historic night I needed some music, a “victory mix” to celebrate the occasion. So, with a little help, no check that, with a lot of help and many great suggestions from a lot of my friends on Facebook… I put together this playlist.

We call it “Obama 2012 Victory Mix – The Second Time Around”.

Now, originally, it was supposed to be posted shortly after the election but it took a little longer than anticipated to get “just right”. Therefore, I decided to hold off posting it until today, Inauguration Day, January 21, 2013.

So, as we watch all the different activities of THIS historic day to remember, let’s take a look back at THAT historic night to remember when our president was re-elected to 4 more years in office.

Cupid’s Hunt 2012: Con Funk Shun-LOVE!

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:

…and you’ll also recognize the beautiful ballads:

  • "(Let Me Put) Love on Your Mind"
  • "By Your Side"
  • "Straight From The Heart"
  • "Baby I’m Hooked (Right into Your Love)"
  • "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!

  • RIBS: We Remember Whitney Houston, R.I.P.

    February 13, 2012 by tgrundy · 5 Comments
    Filed under: R&B, R.I.P., RIBS, Whitney Houston, podcasts/mixes, soul 

    We lost Whitney Houston on Saturday, February 11, 2012. She was only 48 years old.

    It’s always tough to hear of the passing of one of your favorite music artists. That’s when you realize how much a part of your life experiences they have been, the highs, the lows, the joys, the sorrows, the ecstasy, the agony. For many of us, Whitney was all that and more.

    She burst onto the scene in the early 80’s like a shooting star, shining brightly in the night . The product of music “royalty”, her mother is singer Cissy Houston, her cousins are Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, her godmother is Aretha Franklin, Whitney possessed beautiful looks and a fantastic voice that could do anything musically. It looked to us all like she would be with us forever and finally be the one to inherit the mantle of “Queen of Soul” once Aretha passed it along. Alas that was not meant to be.

    This is just a quick compilation of some of Whitney’s ballads. With Valentine’s Day approaching I thought that it would be appropriate to spotlight some of her beautiful love songs that are so much a part of the soundtrack of our lives. It is by no means a comprehensive collection of material, you can probably expect a follow-up mix sometime in the future that will be a deeper more expansive look at her musical legacy.

    Like that shooting star she lit up our nights, shining the bright light of her talent and beauty all over us. Alas, just like that same star, her light went out much too soon…
