TRIBUTE TO ASHFORD & SIMPSON

Nickolas Ashford, one half of the legendary Motown songwriting team Ashford & Simpson, died of throat cancer at a New York hospital yesterday on August 22nd. He was only 69. Their contribution to mellow music is beyond compare! As a tribute to their legacy, I present 2 great tracks: The masterpiece instrumental “Bourgie bourgie” from 1977 and the gorgeous ballad “Crazy” from 1979. Enjoy!

1st Blog Anniversary

I started this Blog exactly a year ago, so today is its first anniversary. It currently contains 79 posts and is visited by around 100 people a day.

The wealth of quality Soul music is endless and I strongly believe that MUSIC is the most precious invention of humankind.

Some people say that “Silence is Gold” while others cherish moments of “Peace and quiet”. Well, I prefer when silence is broken and the air is filled with beautiful sounds that caress our ears and touch our souls.

Today I celebrate this special occasion with something…….different. I have uploaded for your listening pleasure an X-Rated Soulful House 12inch rarity. Add some kinky excitement to your musical horizons!!!

BARACK ATTACK !!!!

At last it’s all Black! Don’t forget that every form of QUALITY art has been always Black……with few White exceptions which where also influenced by Black unique style.

It’s no wonder that Obama’s eloquent victory speech was held in Chicago – a city that starts with “Chic”.................LOL.

Barack Obama is a man of integrity and inspires hope not only in USA but all over the world. Let’s enjoy the ride.
