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 https://cdns-images.dzcdn.net/images...a9/500x500.jpg 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. |

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 |

Don Covay - I Was Checking Out While She Was Checking In |
Family Affair Sly & The Family Stone The production on this one has always fascinated me. Love the underwater/overdub sound of the vocals and the funky percussion that sounds as if they recorded it in Sly's bathtub. Funky all the way around. |
In The Rain The Dramatics One of the best "rain" songs. |

Azz Izz Ren Woods (1982, Elektra) Haven't heard this in a loooong time. As I recall this one was the hit - Who's Gonna Love Me Now Azz Izz playlist |

Have Fun Again Diana Ross Love the production on this Diana Ross album. Motown pres. Berry Gordy had the Nile Rogers/Bernard Edwards produced tracks polished for the official release of diana. Payed off. The deluxe edition has the original versions as well the subsequent clean-ups on it - as well as some extended additional Ross tracks, including a Supremes medley. https://i.pinimg.com/474x/58/e9/18/5...86bbfac0c1.jpg |
