What (Soul/R&B) Are You Listening To Right Now?
Post whatever soul/R&B music has intrigued you lately.
This track just came on my shuffle - Get Off - Patrice Rushen Now (1984, Elektra) Pianist, Rushen, hasn't done a straight ahead R&B album in decades. But this is a good one. Laid-back, soft funk R&B with some jazz overtones on the slow tracks. Not sure if she'll ever return to the format after her disenchantment with the hit-centered nature of the pop music world. But she has great musical chops and then some. Last edited by ando here; 09-07-2020 at 02:15 PM. |

Toni Braxton, Toni Braxton (1993, LaFace/Arista) YT Playlist Secrets is my favorite from Braxton but this what you might have expected from a label looking to break through with a singer that would have popular R&B appeal. She'd get more interesting as she matured, thankfully. Not a bad throwback, though. Good to hear again. |

I recently "discovered" this song: Oliver Cheatham - Get Down Saturday Night (1983) And I like it. Soul and other parts of pop culture are the few things Americans can be proud of. |

Lots to admire about America. Yeah, Forget Me Nots has been sampled many times. Rushen is known for having produced some great ones. Get Ready Temptations |

Listening and watching performances from the 2020 BET Awards from earlier in the year. Almost all consist of made for BET videos because of the pandemic.
