RIBS TPTD: “Double Triple”-More Marvin, More Teddy, More Luther…
Filed under: Double-Triple, podcasts/mixes, R&B, RIBS, soul, Triple Play Thurs-Day
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…

RIBS TPTD: Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass & Luther Vandross (fast)…
Filed under: podcasts/mixes, R&B, RIBS, soul, Triple Play Thurs-Day
Well… it’s a day late (sorry ’bout dat) but I think it is definitely worth the wait! AAMOF, I have been grooving to this one on the commute back and forth to works all week long and I think this is one of my 5 best playlists. Of course, I am very interested in your opinion on that and whether you agree with me (or not! [smile]).
I know I really don’t have to introduce our trio of artists today. If you are any kind of fan of Soul/R&B music I am quite sure you just might have heard of at least one of these three fellows once, maybe twice before {smile}. These three, IMHO, are the torch bearers of that sweet, soulful, “let’s turn the lights down low and snuggle close to each other” R&B sound. While it certainly didn’t originate with Marvin (there were many before him, such as Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson for example) I think that he (Marvin) took it heights that it had never seen before. And then it was passed to Teddy. And then it passed over to Luther. My question now is though, who’s holding the torch today? My initial thought is no one. Maybe you disagree, leave me a comment and let me know.

RIBS TPTD: Sade, Lionel and Luther…
Filed under: music, podcasts/mixes, R&B, RIBS, soul, Triple Play Thurs-Day
OK, making good on my promise to get back on schedule over here. This week’s RIBS is one that was supposed to be posted a few weeks ago but I was “overcome by events” (as the saying goes) and am just posting it now.
Credit for the idea of our trio this week goes out to RR, one of my coworkers. These three are some of her favs:
- Sade
- Lionel Richie (solo)
- Luther Vandross
And a very nice combination it is if I say so myself. Well, since I’m back let’s forgo a lot of “talk” this time around and get right to the music!
