RIBS TPTD: “Send Me An Angel”…
Filed under: R&B, R.I.P., RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Whew!
Man, oh man… what a wacky couple of weeks it has been. I mean, I’ve been around long enough to understand that the world is crazy place, no surprise there. But the past couple weeks it seems like the crazy has been on overdrive. We’ve lost so many good people and in such rapid succession, it’s like nothing I’ve can ever remember experiencing before in my lifetime.
Recently we lost:
Koko Taylor (blues singer)
David Carradine (actor [Kung Fu, Kill Bill])
Ed McMahon (TV show host [Star Search] and announcer [The Tonight Show])
Farrah Fawcett (actress [Charlie’s Angels]))
Michael Jackson (singer [Jackson 5/The Jacksons/solo])
Fayette Pinkney (singer [The Three Degrees])
Billy Mays (TV pitchman)
Karl Malden (actor [The Streets of San Francisco])
and on Saturday July 4, 2009 while enjoying the holiday weekend word came down that Steve McNair former NFL quarterback with the Tennessee Titans was found shot to death in an apparent murder/suicide (at least that’s the early word being released at the time of writing this early in the morning on Sunday July 5th)
My prayers go out to the friends, fans and family of all of the above.
{sigh} So… at this time I figured we all could use a break. I figured we all could use some help to try and get us through these difficult days. Sometimes you just can’t (or shouldn’t) handle things all by yourself. It’s at times like this that maybe, just maybe we should turn our thoughts to the sky and ask the Almighty to please…

RIBS TPTD: Michael Jackson, Interpretations & Covers…
Filed under: Michael Jackson, R&B, R.I.P., RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, podcasts/mixes, soul
This is the 3rd and final part (final for now that is, I have a couple of ideas for another MJ mix for a future date, most likely around his birthday in August) of our 3-part Michael Jackson tribute mix here on RIBS. I like to think of them collectively as “Memories of Michael”. In case you missed them here are the links to part 1, Michael Jackson, R.I.P. and part 2, Michael Jackson, Ballads & Love Songs.
For this mix I wanted to do something a little different. As I mentioned in the post for part 1, I know that over the past week (and probably for the next couple until MJ is laid to rest) you’ve been inundated (more like saturated {smile}) with Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 music on the radio and TV. The problem is that these commercial mediums have no creativity any more. While their intentions may be good, mostly all they are playing are the same 10-20 MJ/J5 songs that we are already well familiar with. Come on, play along with me here… how many times during the past 9 days have you heard the following songs:
- P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)
- Billie Jean (O.K., have to admit I never get tired of this one!)
- Thriller
- Rock With You
- Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough
- Beat It
- Got To Be There
- Never Can Say Goodbye
- ABC
- Dancing Machine
- The Love You Save
- Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)
- Man In The Mirror
- Human Nature
- Bad
See what I mean? Nodding your head in agreement while reading that list weren’t you? {smile}
Now please don’t get me wrong, I LOVE these songs. As I mentioned previously MJ’s music is a large part of the “Soundtrack of My Life”. I just think that if you are going to honor what is arguably the most gifted entertainer in our lifetime then you need to dig a little deeper into the catalog to present a fuller picture of his talent.
Fortunately that is what many of us music podcasters do. We dig deeper. We set aside the very familiar and well known songs and we pull out the little known and/or lesser played tracks that we feel you would enjoy just as much as the monster hits.
So… now that I got all of that off my chest {smile}, this mix focuses on cover versions that Michael and/or the Jackson 5 did of other artists’ songs AND MJ/J5 songs covers by other artists. For example, the playlist includes the J5 doing La La (Means I Love You) originally by the Delfonics, and Stand! and I Want To Take You Higher by Sly and the Family Stone. On the other side I have a lovely version of The Lady In My Life by Silk, a reggae version of Don’t Stop till You Get Enough by Derrick Laro And Trinity, Weird Al Yankovic doing his classic parodies Eat It and Fat, and the crown jewel of the mix (IMHO) a cover/interpretation of Smooth Criminal by Carlos Santana!
And…don’t mean to beat a dead horse but if you want the best MJ/J5 information and commentary, without any of the negativity, check out this post: Remembering The Time. Michael Jackson (1958-2009) [Audio, Video Links] over on HoneySoul.com for a large list of MJ tributes on the ‘Net.

RIBS TPTD: Michael Jackson, Ballads & Love Songs…
Filed under: Michael Jackson, R&B, R.I.P., RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, podcasts/mixes, soul
This is part 2 of our 3-part Michael Jackson tribute mix here on RIBS. Even tough all 3 mixes are going to end up with different names, I like to think of them collectively as “Memories of Michael”.
In part 1 of the mix, Michael Jackson, R.I.P., I listed several “memories” I’ve thought about over the past week after Michael’s death. However, late last night I realized I missed a couple of very important ones…
Memories Of Michael (addendum)
- Breaking the “color barrier” on MTV. It’s no secret that black artists and R&B music were virtually non-existent on MTV during the first couple of years after it’s debut. Michael and the “Thriller” video changed all of that… forever.
- Speaking of music videos, MJ was one of the first to produce a music video as a “mini-movie” with a storyline/plot (so to speak) as opposed to the glorified “concert footage” of the majority of pre-Thriller videos.
O.K., let’s get to the music. OBTW, remember to check out this post: Remembering The Time. Michael Jackson (1958-2009) [Audio, Video Links] over on HoneySoul.com for links to the best MJ tributes on the ‘Net.

RIBS TPTD: Michael Jackson, R.I.P.
Filed under: Funk, Michael Jackson, R&B, R.I.P., RIBS, podcasts/mixes, soul
Hey folks, how is everybody doin’ today?
Note: This is part 1 of a 3-part MJ mix here on RIBS (parts 2 & 3 will be available over the next 24-48 hours). Try as I might there just were not enough hours in the day (nor days in the week) for me to get an MJ mix posted last weekend as I originally intended. Now I know that commercial radio has played MJ/J5 music to death over the past week and that everybody and their mother are posting MJ tribute mixes, but to be a music fan/podcaster and NOT celebrate his life at a time like this just wouldn’t be right. Hopefully there are a few things in these RIBS Michael Jackson mixes that you haven’t heard 100 or more times this past week and that the combination of songs chosen is pleasing to your ear.
Oh, and one more thing… I must give a shout out and major BIG props to Honey over on HoneySoul.com. She has done a great job providing information and links to the many, many MJ tribute mixes, video and information that have been posted online. If you want to find good music and info about the “King of Pop” (without all of the negativity those other sites are giving you) check out: Remembering The Time. Michael Jackson (1958-2009) [Audio, Video Links] over on HoneySoul.com
Well, as we are all well aware, Michael Jackson left us one week ago today. It’s still very hard to think of him as being gone. I, like so many others, was really looking forward to his planned tour later this year to see if he could stage a comeback in his career after all of the mess that he had been through these past several years.
The best way for me to describe MJ is this:
“He was one of the cornerstones of the foundation of the "Soundtrack of My Life"
I mean I’m not that much older than Michael, and from the early days with his brothers in the Jackson 5, to their move to CBS Records as The Jacksons, and of course his enormously popular and influential solo career his music was always there somewhere during all of the various trials, tribulations, happiness, sadness and discoveries of my life.
He was, without question, one of the best (if not THE BEST) entertainers that I’ve had the pleasure to see in my lifetime. I say "entertainer" and not just singer or singing artist because MJ could do it all: singer, dancer, actor (a little {smile}), songwriter, producer. The only person who I think comes close in comparison to Michael (that I can think of) is Sammy Davis, Jr. Hmmmm, MJ vs. Sammy, that could make for an interesting discussion in the comments section!
One of things I have been doing during the past week as the reality of Michael’s death has slowly been sinking in is thinking of the various memories that I have of him…
Memories Of Michael
- 7th grade music class with Mrs. Hoffman. She had us singing "ABC" by the Jackson 5
- Buying the UK pressing of the Maybe Tomorrow album over in London on the 9th grade class trip during Spring vacation. (forever grateful to my maternal grandfather, God rest his soul, for helping pay for the trip so I could go)
- How BIG of a J5 fan Jolene White was (girlfriend in 9th grade); she was one of the few girls I knew at that time that liked Marlon better than Michael
- Seeing the Jackson 5 in Madison Square Garden in 1971 (with Jolene). Opening act: The Commodores! (Hmmmm, wonder whatever happened to THEM? {smile})
- Watching the Jackson 5ive cartoon (nope that’s not a mis-spelling) on Saturday mornings
- Hating The Osmonds and the song "One Bad Apple" as they blatantly (but, I have to admit all these years later, very smartly) modeled themselves after the J5 and went on to quite a bit of success themselves during the 70s
- Hoping and praying that Michael’s solo albums would not cause the Jackson 5 to break up (hey, I was young then. I didn’t know anything about the music business)
- The changing sound of the group (as the boys naturally grew older) on the albums G.I.T.: Get It Together, Dancing Machine and Moving Violation
- The Jackson 5 leaving Motown (for CBS Records) and having to change their name to The Jacksons
- Jermaine leaving the group and staying at Motown due to his marriage to Motown founder Berry Gordy’s daughter Hazel
- Youngest brother Randy joining the group to replace Jermaine
- Michael playing the Scarecrow in The Wiz
- The monster success of the Off The Wall album (only to be surpassed by the Thriller album)
- The Motown 25 television special and Michael’s performance of Billie Jean! My favorite MJ moment/performance of all time.
- We Are The World (song and recording session)
- Watching the first airing of the Thriller video. Wow!
- Watching and listening to Marc Jones (a friend I had a short-lived mobile DJ business with after college) mix Billie Jean. Nobody could mix that song like he could!
- …and so many, many more!
Hopefully Michael is at peace now. Though we mourn his passing, we will always celebrate his life and the happy times he gave us all. He will continue to live on in our hearts and minds and ears via the wonderful legacy of music he has left behind.

RIBS TPTD: In Memoriam 2008, R.I.P.
Filed under: Funk, Gospel, R.I.P., RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, blues, jazz, music, podcasts/mixes, soul
TG Notes: A little late getting this one out, but I’ve been caught up in the holidays and my vacation and have been just plain lazy most of the past week *smile*. But here we go…
January, 2009… the start of another new year. New hopes, new excitement… new fears. A time to shake off the old and begin anew. A time for a fresh start on a new journey or a recommitment with renewed determination to a journey that has already begun.
A time for looking forward…
However, as the saying goes, “if you don’t know where you’ve been, how will you know where you’re going?” (I’m paraphrasing the exact quote here I guess; anybody know where the original quote came from by any chance?)
So with that in mind, before we turn ourselves towards the front and push forward to our individual destinies, let us collectively take a few moments to look back and reflect upon those music artists and entertainers that left us during the past twelve months during 2008.
Maybe it’s just me and the fact that I pay attention to music a lot more closely these days than I have in the past, but it seems like 2008 was a particularly bad year in that a large number of our artists passed away, a few quite unexpectedly. The following is a list of those artists/entertainers we lost last year whose music, memory and talent we honor in this week’s mix:
- Buddy Miles, d. Feb 26, 2008 (RIBS “In Memoriam” mix here)
- Al Wilson, Apr 21, 2008 (RIBS “In Memoriam” mix here)
- Jimmy McGriff, d. May 24, 2008 (RIBS “In Memoriam” mix here)
- Bo Diddley, d. Jun 2, 2008
- George Carlin, Jun 22, 2008
- Ira Tucker Sr. (The Dixie Hummingbirds), d. Jun 24, 2008
- Bernie Mac, d. Aug 9, 2008
- Isaac Hayes, d. Aug 10, 2008 (RIBS “In Memoriam” mixes here and here)
- Jerry Wexler, d, Aug 15, 2008
- Pervis Jackson (The Spinners), d. Aug 18, 2008
- Jerry Reed, d. Sept 1, 2008
- Norman Whitfield, d. Sept 16, 2008 (RIBS “In Memoriam” mix here)
- Levi Stubbs (Four Tops), d. Oct 17, 2008 (RIBS “In Memoriam” mix here)
- Dee Dee Warwick, d. Oct 18, 2008
- Miriam Makeba, d. Nov 10, 2008
- Odetta, d. Dec 2, 2008
- Dennis Yost (Classics IV), d. Dec 7, 2008
- Eartha Kitt, d. Dec 25, 2008
- Freddie Hubbard, d. Dec 29, 2008 (RIBS “In Memoriam” mix here)
Just a few more quick notes about the playlist to make sure there is no confusion. The Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin songs are on the list to honor Jerry Wexler. He, along with Ahmet Ertegun, was responsible for making Atlantic Records such a major force in music back in the 50s and 60s He’s credited with jump starting the career of Ray and turning Aretha’s career around after her less than stellar years at Columbia Records. Oh, and one more “little” thing… in 1948 as a writer for Billboard Magazine Jerry coined the term “Rhythm and Blues” as a musical marketing term in the United States.
Norman Whitfield writer/producer extraordinaire for Motown Records in the 60s and 70s is represented by one of his all-time great songs, “Cloud Nine” by the Temptations and one of his most recognizable compositions, “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” performed by Gladys Knight and The Pips. As you may know “Grapevine” was also a hit for Marvin Gaye and has also been performed and/or covered by numerous groups over the years, not the least of which was the clay-animated singing group The California Raisins, a fictional group originally created for a 1986 commercial on behalf of the California Raisin Advisory Board. (BTW, did you know that Buddy Miles was the lead singer voice of The California Raisins?)
Fortunately, the memories and the music will live on forever. So, let’s lift our glasses high in honor of these dearly departed as we present to you…

RIBS TPTD: Freddie Hubbard, R.I.P.
Filed under: R.I.P., RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, music, podcasts/mixes
*sigh* I was hoping that after we heard about Eartha Kitt’s passing on Christmas Day that we were finished losing our great artists and entertainers for 2008. We’ve lost so many this year: Isaac Hayes, Bernie Mac, Dee Dee Warwick, Odetta, Bo Diddley, Mariam Makeba, Levi Stubbs, Norman Whitfield to name a few.
Unfortunately we now have to add Frederick Dewyane Hubbard, better known as jazz trumpeter extraordinaire Freddie Hubbard, to that list.
There are a lot of words that come to mind at a time like this but they are just a jumble of thoughts right now. Perhaps I’ll come back a little later and add them. At this moment let’s just say that Freddie, along with Miles Davis, was probably one of the major influences on the majority of the horn players that are out today.
‘Nuff said for now. Let’s let the gift of music that he’s left behind say the rest as we present to you…
