Hey, welcome back to another edition of Rhythms In Black Satin… a.k.a. “RIBS”! Thank you for stopping by and letting me share some of my musical interests with you.

Life over at the RIBS kitchen has been a little… um, “interesting” (yeah, that’s a good word to use) lately. Not bad stuff mind you, but not entirely good stuff… just “interesting” stuff that has to be dealt with. I’m sure some of you out there know exactly what I mean, the rest of you, well, if you live long enough then you’ll know too. {smile}

Well, it’s been a while but today’s mix is in the traditional RIBS “Triple Play Thurs-Day” format… take three music artists, mix ‘em up, throw ‘em in the oven, bake on low to medium heat over several hours (basting often and liberally, of course) and when the timer goes off we have a nice, tender, tasty mix of RIBS! As we like to say ‘round here, it’s the “Taste of music, to satisfy your soul.”

Our ingredients today are three ladies that were hot back in the late 70’s and throughout most of the 80’s. Unfortunately, like a lot of our great soul music, you don’t here a lot about or from these three today. However, they are still with us and going strong and I thought I would take a look back at their body of work and bring it to your attention.

Our RIBS TPTD trio today is…

Patrice Rushen

Stephanie Mills

Randy Crawford

O.K., I’ve rambled enough, time to get to the music. Remember, when it comes to the RIBS… eat all you want, I’ll just make more! {smile}
