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…

RIBS TPTD: Summer Heat – A Warm Summer Night…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Summer Heat, Triple Play Thurs-Day, podcasts/mixes, soul
Ahhhhh… sunshine, cool breezes, warm temperatures, Summer is here at last!
Sorry, to have been so quiet around here the past few months, but sometimes that’s how life goes. I’m sure you all know what I mean. However, no matter how long the sabbatical, it’s always nice to find my way back here again and share the joy of music with you.
Not gonna chat long, cause I want you to get right to the music, BUT I did want to give a shout –out to one of my brothers in podcasting, DarrenKeith, of the great My Love For Music blog and podcasts. Just listen to the intro and that will explain why… {smile}
OK! Let’s get to part 3 of the RIBS 2011 “summer” mixes. Part 3? Yep. If you recall the first two parts of this series were posted back in February during the coldest, most miserable winter I can remember living through in a long, long time. In case ya missed them, here is the link:
RIBS TPTD: Summer Heat – Too Hot, parts 1 & 2
The first parts were mostly up-tempo, party mixes; just perfect for those summertime cookouts and gatherings. Now, part 3 is for when you want to just enjoy the beauty of the sunset, the warm, gentle breezes and just chill out with an appropriate beverage or two. Of course, a nice warm body to share these with wouldn’t hurt either! {smile}
Now, let’s all sit back and enjoy…

CUPID’S HUNT 2011: THE HUNT CONTINUES!
Filed under: CupidsHunt, Holiday, Podcast Collabs, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes
It ain’t over yet… the Hunt CONTINUES! Another great event for our 4th consecutive year, but we’re not satisfied yet. That’s why we’re continuing the BIG Event all week long through the 3-day President’s Day holiday weekend! Check out the RIBS post, Cupid’s Hunt 2011: The Hunt Has Begun!, for links to all 26 mixes available so far…
Cupid’s Hunt 2011: The Look of Love – A Baker’s Dozen
Filed under: A Bakers Dozen, CupidsHunt, Podcast Collabs, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes
A second entree from the RIBS kitchen for the Cupid’s Hunt event. This time we’re gonna do something a little different and give the “Baker’s Dozen” treatment to one of favorite ballads/love songs: The Look Of Love.
Originally composed by Burt Bacharach and Hal David performed by Dusty Springfield, this song first appeared in the 1967 spoof James Bond film Casino Royale.
Since then the song has been covered many times by a variety of artists. As a matter of fact I do remember seeing somewhere that “The Look Of Love” is number 10 on the list of the top ten most covered songs of all time. Quite a lot of versions! But for our purposes just 13 cover versions will do (12 actually since we start off the mix with the original sung by Ms. Springfield).
So, let’s get to it and take a look… at The Look Of Love. RIBS style. A Baker’s Dozen style.
Enjoy!

Update#1 Sunday, 02/13/2011 @11:45am…
At this point, we are well into our Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration event for Valentine’s Day. Once, again the guys & gals out there who live and breath music did not disappoint. There are some very, very nice mixes that have been released so far. I hope you’ve had a chance to sample some of this great music by now.
As promised, here is the first update to catch you up on what’s been released since this was first posted…

16. TGrundy: Cupid’s Hunt 2011: Lionel-LOVE! (Rhythms In Black Satin)
Also, at this time, I’d like to take time out to mention and make note of a few members of my music family that for various reasons had to cancel out of the BIG Event at the last minute. IMHO, it just doesn’t feel right to be doing a Cupid’s Hunt Collaboration without them… and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna start now {smile}. So, with that said and with the fact that love, love music and the spirit of Valentine’s Day is timeless, I’m reaching back to the CH2010 event and presenting their past Cupid’s Hunt efforts here this year so their presence (and gift of music) will be accounted for. Nikki, Fresh, DarrenKeith & Jason I miss you guys this year but your spirit and music is still a part of all we do!
17. Fresh: Cupid’s Hunt 2010 (Love Makes Me An Instrument – It Tunes Me Up! (Vibes and Scribes)
18. DarrenKeith: 2010 MyLoveForMusic Cupid’s Hunt Edition (My Love For Music)
19. Nikki: Cupid’s Hunt: Affliction of Affection Mix (Soulrific Podcast Show)

Update#2 Tuesday, 02/15/2011 @6:30am…
Well, I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s day yesterday! I actually meant to post this update last night but I had to take some time out to enjoy my own V-Day celebration over here too {smile}. Anyway, after a fast & furious bunch of releases on Friday and a slower Saturday & Sunday, Monday Valentine’s Day saw the flood gates open up once again.
Here are the latest mixes now available as a part of the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration event…
21. DJ Hyjak: Cupid’s Hunt 2011 - A Hyjak Radio Valentine (DJ Hyjak on Facebook)

Hopefully, I didn’t miss anybody (promise to get ya in the next update if I did).
And, again, we’re still not done yet! One weekend is not enough for the BIG Event, so we’re keeping it open all week long all the way though the long, 3-day Presidents Day holiday weekend coming up!
Keep checking in here at RIBS and also over at “CH Command Central” also known as the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration page over on Facebook.
After all, if you are not listening to a Cupid’s Hunt podcast mix as a part of your Valentine’s Day celebration… why even bother being in love?
