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

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!

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

Wishing all of you and your families a very happy and safe holiday during this Christmas season!

Well, we’re still on our California journey. I got so many great suggestions when I asked folks to help me think of some songs for a “California” mix a few weeks ago that they would all not fit into one podcast. In case you missed it, here is the link to “The California Mix, part 1”.
Now we can complete the journey as we present to you…

Filed under: California Mix, R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Ah, Life. Finding oneself. Journeys into the unknown. Journeys of excitement. Journeys of anticipation. And, above all… journeys of knowledge and discovery.
Someone very near and dear to my heart has recently ventured out onto just such a journey and, at this point, the journey has taken them to California. And so, that is the inspiration for these latest two mixes from the RIBS Kitchen. Part 1 is this week with Part 2 to follow nest week (God willing and if the creek don’t rise… {smile})
So… pack your bags, fill up the gas tank (Yes, we’re driving. After all the best journeys of discovery are experienced by traveling the open road), point the car West and follow the setting sun as we present to you…
