There is some great instrumentation in this song. It's an '80s classic.Daryl Hall and John Oates, the pop music duo, reportedly met in an elevator while trying to flee the crossfire of rival gangs while students at Temple University. The duo, which created music that They termed "rock and soul" (a mixture of rock and roll with R&B)is known for such hits as "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private

June 25, 2009, I and the rest of the world were stunned to learn of the death of the late, great King of Pop, better known as Michael Joseph Jackson (8/26/58-6/25/09). I will be posting more on this blog about MJ, because I am a life long fan. For the purpose of this post, I wanted to let others know about the charitable works of MJ. This is for all the naysayers, and the people who failed to

In the spring of 1994, April 19th to be the exact, hip-hop ushered in a new king to join the ranks of those like Afrika Bambaaataa, Rakim, KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, Run DMC, and so forth. It was on this date that Queensbridge emcee Nas (aka Nasty Nas) dropped his seminal masterpiece Illmatic.All ten tracks on Illmatic are bangers: laced with classic lyrics over flawless production from such greats

This song was originally featured on Pac's Life ,which was released in 2006, and I'm so glad that Keyshia Cole recently brought it back to life. "Playa Cardz Right" is featured on Cole's third album, A Different Me, which was released this year.My favorite part is when Keyshia says "It takes a real man. Luther Vandross, Teddy..." This song is so smooth with Cole's soulful voice and Tupac's mellow

Although Marvin passed away a few months before I came into this world his music has influenced my life a great deal. Marvin embodied everything about soul music. He asked, "What's Going On," and spoke of "Inner City Blues". "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" that at times he was a "Trouble Man", but you "Gotta Give It Up" to a brother for having so much "Pride and Joy." Marvin oozed sensuality.

In 2003 and 2005 we lost two of the greatest voices of any generation. Luther Vandross and Barry White brought a male sensitivity to music, where a man wasn't afraid to let his woman know how much he loved and adored her. And there is nothing punkish about that at all. Every time I hear this live performance at the 1988 NAACP Awards of "A House Is Not A Home" by Luther, I get chills. I think

Many people regard Marvin Gaye's 1971 classic album What's Going On as some of his best work. This was the first of Gaye's albums solely produced by him.In addition to that album, I also think the Midnight Love album is absolutely great. Marvin did his thang on every single cut on this album! My personal favorite track is 'My Love Is Waiting'. It's the last track on the album and oh so smooth.
