Sound Flave

Photo: Wikipedia Public DomainStory by: Gail NoblesLet's talk about a lovely song called "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again," written by Jeffrey Comanor. This song came out in September 1976 as part of an album called "A Rumor in His Own Time." It's all about a sweet couple who have an amazing night together, and the singer wishes it would just go on forever—no goodbyes, just happiness. While Jeffrey's original version didn't get much attention, a big change happened when Clive Davis, the president of Arista Records, stumbled upon it just a few months later. He saw potential in it, and it was soon covered by a duo called Deardorff & Joseph in their first album with Arista.After Deardorff & Joseph went their separate ways, interestingly, the people managing them found new opportunities—you see, Marcia Day started managing Deardorff, while Susan Joseph took charge of Joseph.Fast forward to February 1978, and we have more covers of this enchanting tune! Maureen McGovern and the duo England Dan & John Ford Coley each released their versions. McGovern's cover didn't quite catch on, but England Dan & John Ford Coley hit the jackpot! Their rendition spent six weeks at the top of the Billboard US Easy Listening chart and made waves in Canada, too.I'm Gail Nobles. You're listening to Sound Flave.

We don't need another hero in her powerful voice. She speaks to the heart of our individual souls as we go through this turbulent landscape we call life we find ourselves journey for something more something greater than what lies within our own experiences.Tina implores us to consider the landscape of our existence asking not for another savior to emerge from the shadows, but rather for a path that leads us beyond our own personal thunderdomes. What is a hero? What we truly seek is not someone to rescue us from our struggles, but an awakening - a change in our society.She sings of change, and when I listen, I too wonder: When will we ever change? When will we rise up and hold the reins of our destinies, embracing our capacity to shape a world free from the chains of fear and despair? We have been searching, yearning for something — a foundation upon which we can build our dreams, a pillar of strength that we can rely on as we strive for a better tomorrow.Look around you. We live in a world where too many of us remain shackled by fear and uncertainty where our voices are stifled, and our hopes dimmed, We must not allow ourselves to live only to leave a mark, a fleeting impression that soon fades. Rather, we must strive to create a legacy of courage and love that stands against the storm. We must seize this moment for living under the blanket of fear. It only leads to a hollow existence, empty of meaning, until there is nothing left.It is time for us to rise, together as one, to reach for the life beyond the Thunderdome — a life filled with purpose, justice, and love. Let us refuse to be passive spectators in our own lives. Let every heartbeat be a drumbeat for change, every breath a pledge to forge a brighter path for the generations to come.So I say to you, let us not wait for another hero to come save us. Let us be the heroes of our own story, the architects of change in our communities, the guardians of hope in times of despair. The answers lie within us, and together, united in our dreams, we shall not only envision a better future but also create it!I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening.Sound Flave

She's got that groove and a voice that will make you wanna dance. You remember: Mr. Big Stuff.  Let me tell you about her song A Little Bit of Something (Is Better Than All of Nothing). Jean's powerful voice comes through echoing the true essence of love and desire. It's a song for all those who know that sometimes a little love is better than no love at all! She lays it down smooth and sassy, reminding us that even if you can't have everything you want, a little taste can make your heart sing. Jean Knight captures that feeling of longing, but she's flipping it with a hopeful twist. It's a celebration of those small moments - the flirty chats, the sweet smiles- that might just be what you need to keep your heart in the game. A little bit of something is a reminder that in the game of love, every little bit counts!

Intro by: Gail NoblesCover art by: Gail Nobles Eugene Record was an American singer, songwriter, arranger, and record producer. He was best known as the lead vocalist of the Chicago-based vocal group The Chi-Lites from their formation in 1959 until 1973, from 1980 to 1988, and later making occasional guest appearances. Record wrote and produced many of the group's hits in the 1970s on Brunswick Records, as well as writing and producing for other acts. He had international hits with: "Oh Girl," "Have You Seen Her,When Brunswick began to falter due to legal and financial issues in the mid-1970s, Record decided to go solo and released three albums (entitled The Eugene Record, Trying to Get to You, and Welcome to My Fantasy) in the late 1970s on Warner Music Group without major success, before re-joining The Chi-Lites in 1980.  From Eugene 1976 album the Eugene Record, he made a single entitled Overdose of Joy. It sounds like a smashing hit. Eugene Record sounds a lot like Marvin Gaye and the music sounds like a Marvin Gaye kind of groove. The song was written by Eugene. I'm Gail Nobles.

Story by: Gail NoblesIntro music by: Gail NoblesWalk Away From Love  Is a song recorded by David Ruffin in 1975. The million selling single was Ruffins only number one R&B hit. Nobody could sing like David Ruffin. His voice really spoke to people through music. You can feel feeling from the words of the song because of his voice. The lyrics say: I'm gonna walk away from love before love breaks my heart.He makes love sound like it's something to be feared because of fear within. He doesn't want his heartbroken. So David sings about walking away. The song Walk Away From Love was number one on the US R&B singles chart for one week in early 1976, and crossed over to number nine on the pop charts. In Canada, the song peak that number 30.Thank you for listening to Sound Flave. I am your host Gail Nobles.

Today's topic is Whole House Full of Kings & Queens. Motown had a whole House full of kings and Queens. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin, and a whole list of them in the same house. Now Michael Jackson is the number one king in the world. He started out as a Motown star with his brothers the Jackson 5. Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul. She's another Motown star. Whitney Houston reigned as the Queen of Pop. James Brown is Godfather of Soul. Looks like to me, there is room for all that work hard to be number one in music. Rolling Stone has written an article titled The 200 Greatest asingers of All Time. Today you hear rumors among fans: Who is a far better singer than who?  I don't understand why people compare singers. When I was growing up hearing Motown, listening with family and friends, everybody just enjoyed the music. When disco came along all of the singers got an applied in the 80s. We loved of course Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Madonna, and the list goes on.  There were so many singers that the world enjoyed. Now we are being told that they'll never be another James Brown or Michael Jackson. I don't know why because there are some more talented people out there just like them or better than them. God gave so many people so much talent, and if you're trying to get into the business, we all know that if it's not about talent, it ain't the music business, and there should be room for all.I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening.

Music intro: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesWhen Love Calls came from Atlantic Starr's third studio album, Radiant.  The song is written by David Lewis and Wayne Lewis. When Love Calls Peaked at number five on billboard's R&B chart and number 80 on billboard's dance music chart in 1981. The lyrics said: When love calls You better answer Cause it might be a big mistake if you decide to hesitate. The single is a pretty good R&B and dance song.You may know  Atlantic star from singing the hits Always, Secret Lovers, and Masterpiece. You may also know them from singing One Lover, At a Time, If Your Heart Isn't In It, and My First Love. The group started in the 1970s and they were singing in the 80s They have changed and replaced members. There were some members that had solo careers. They were plentiful in members. I think now the band has four members and still sound great and still singing and performing. You can follow the group for the official Instagram for Atlantic Starr. I'm Gail Nobles. Give Atlantic Starr's single When Love Calls a listen.Thank you for tuning in to Sound Flave.

You're listening to the Radiea Applis Soul podcast edition.Bill Moss was a local singer and DJ at WVKO in Columbus. Short for Capital City Soul, the Columbus Ohio Capsule label's history spans only five years throughout the 1970s founded by Bill Moss. Eccentric Soul: The Capsule Label is a compilation of 19 tracks spanning the label's all but forgotten history.One of the songs on the compilation album was titled Socket It To Him Soul Brother by Bill Moss. In the song, he mentioned that he once had the pleasure of meeting Dr. King, and he asked the question: What I say?” Then the back up group would back him up by saying: Socket It To Him So Brother. The song was released on the Bell Records label in 1969. I won't say that it's an instrumental record, and I won't say that it's a rap record as far as rhyming. But it has that rap style. It's a soul record in the soul genre.On the compilation album released in 2004 or other songs by other music artist by the label The Numero Group.I would like to add that the single Socket To Him Soul Brother was also released on the Pama Records Label.

Today's topic is James and Bobby Purify. They had a song titled: So Many Reasons. They were an R&B singing duo whose big hits were I'm Your Puppet in 1966, which reached number six in the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart and "Let Love Come Between Us" in 1967, which reached number 23 in the US. The original "Bobby Purify" (Robert Lee Dickey) was replaced by a second "Bobby Purify" (Ben Moore) in the 1970s. James Lee Purify was cousin to the original Robert Lee Dickie formed in 1965. I'd like to talk about their single So Many Reasons. It is a great song too.It's a song that some may not have heard. It's a single that comes from the album Shake A Tail Feather! The best of James & Bobby Purify released in 2002. The song So Many Reasons is telling all the reasons why someone is loved. James and Bobby are singing and telling the story. Songwriters knew how to write down in words the reasons why they loved someone in those days, and the singers didn't have a hard time expressing and explaining it. You could see and feel their emotions. You're listening to Sound Flave. Radiae Applis Soul. I'm your host, Gail Nobles. Today's topic: James and Bobby Purify.

Intro by: Gail NoblesPhoto: Theoldcomposer - Own workUsage: Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0Reflections of my life was a 1969/1970 hit single for the Scottish band Marmalade. It was written by their lead guitarist Junior Campbell and singer Dean Ford. Released in late 1969, it was the band's first release on Decca following an earlier spell at CBS. The song went on to chart worldwide reaching number three in the UK in 1969, number 10 in the US and 1970 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number seven on the Cash Box Top 100. Initial sales were significant in both countries. In the kind of world we're living in today, I often think of some of the words to the song. The part when Marmalade sings, “The world is a bad place, a bad place. A terrible place to live. Oh, but I don't wanna die. Today the song is more than a song to me. The band was singing the way I feel right now. Reflections of My Life is a meaningful song. I love the guitars I hear in the song and the harmony of Marmalade. And most of all, the words. I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to Sound Flave.

Keyboardist: Gail NoblesDiana Ross. She rose to fame as the lead singer of the vocal group The Supremes, who became Motown's most successful act during the 1960s and one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. They remain the best-charting female group in history with a total of twelve number-one hit singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, including "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", "Stop! In the Name of Love", and "Love Child".Following her departure from the Supremes in 1970, Ross embarked on a successful solo music career with the release of her eponymous debut solo album and its singles, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" – her first solo U.S. number-one hit – and "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)". My favorite song from Diana Ross isAin't No Mountain High Enough. She sang her version beautifully. I love her beginning speech to the song as the Motown Orchestra plays and the choir sings. Diana's spoken voice is beautiful for the song saying: If you need, me call me.You're listening to Sound Flave. Today's topic: Diana Ross.

Keyboardist: Gail NoblesHello! I'm Gail Nobles.Welcome to Sound Flave. I don't know anyone that doesn't know anything about the Beatles. What I remember most about the Beatles is their hit song Let It Be. It was written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon McCartney partnership. It's a wonderful song. It sounds as if it was written just for me, and some of you might feel the same.At the time, it had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning its chart run at number 6 and eventually reaching the top. It was the Beatles' final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band.McCartney said he had the idea of "Let It Be" after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the sessions for The Beatles ("the White Album") in 1968. Mary Patricia McCartney died of cancer in 1956, when he was fourteen. I can feel what McCartney went through, and his song certainly made me realize the meaning during the time my mother was leaving me. Did you know that Billy Preston played organ and electric piano for the Beatles? He played the organ for the song Let It Be. I've also seen Billy Preston performed the song live on piano. Well I hope that you're enjoying Sound Flave. Thank you for listening.

I'm Gail Nobles, and today I want to talk about the Dionne Warwick song Déjà Vu. It is a 1979 hit ballad written by Isaac Hayes with lyricist Adrienne Anderson, recorded by Dionne Warwick for her album Dionne which Barry Manilow produced. The song won Warwick a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 22nd Grammy Awards.Issued in November 1979 as the album's second single – following up Warwick's top ten comeback hit "I'll Never Love This Way Again" – "Déjà Vu" rose to number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 25 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart in early 1980. I remember the song Déjà Vu when it was played many times on the radio.And in the 70s, I don't remember the Grammy Awards airing live or anyone mentioning the Grammys until the 1980s. The Grammys aired live on television for the first time in 1971, but as much as I heard Dionne's song on the radio, I knew it was a hit. Radio was how I knew.You're listening to Sound Flave.

Music intro by: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesHello, I'm Gil Nobles and you're listening to Sound Flave (Radiae Applis Soul). And today I'm going to talk about the Impressions. They were a music group originally in 1958. They had three R&B top five singles in 1974 to 1975. No. 1 Finally Got Myself Together. I'm A Changed Man (which also reach the pop top 20) and the No.3 singles “Same Thing It Took and Sooner or Later. I want to talk about the single Same Thing It Took. There's a good message in the song. The lyrics say: The reason a lot of people romances don't last is that they tend to forget so fast Same thing it took to get your baby hooked is gonna take the same thing to keep her. I agree. Whatever you did the first time, you got to keep doing. Don't get slack. The song came from the 1975 album titled First Impressions.

The Soul Children was a vocal group who recorded soul music for Stax Records in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They made a single titled Dont Take My Sunshine. It has a very soulful tune and is a very good song. It sounds like a song about losing someone, and the sunshine is the joy and happiness. The singer is asking his partner not to take it away. If you had your heart broken before, you might can feel and relate to the song. The song was written by Bobby Newsome and was released in 1972.

Do you remember the Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha? They were the band that made the single “Take On Me” in the 80s. Their music video for the single was amazing in the United States in October 1985. The single topped billboard Hot 100. The music video made me love the song. The video was a live action pencil sketch animation sequence. The video won 6 awards and was nominated for two others at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.I love the way Morten Harket (the lead singer of the group) animated hand reached out of the comic book for the lady to take his hand who was reading the comic book in a café. She wasn't animated until she took his hand to be in the comic book world with him. I thought it was the coolest music video I had ever seen. It only lasted a few minutes, but it told a big awesome story. The band was in the video too. They were seen playing the keyboard and drums and guitar. The woman had to escape the animated world and leave Morten Harket. When she was back in the café, she found the comic book throwed away, and she took it with her. She took her Harket with her. Take on me. That is the main idea of the story.A-ha has released 11 studio albums to date, and topped the charts internationally after their breakthrough hit Take On Me in 1985.

Do you remember the R&B group Nu Shooz from the 80's? You may remember them from their hits like “I Can't Wait” from their second album “Tha's Right” in 1985. And their song, “Point of No Return” which was the second single taken from the Nu Shooz album Poolside. The single was realeased in 1986. Valerie Day was the lead singer of the group Nu Shooz in the 80's along with her husband John Smith. The music of Nu Shooz was so irresistible. They had a great baseline and beat in the song “I Can't Wait." I remember a rap song came right after that. The title of the song was Spyder D - I Can't Wait (To Rock the Mike) Featuring DJ Doc. “They can't wait to graduate, but I got to rock the mic. I can't wait to rock the mic. You know I just can't wait.” .. The best days of music. The best days of R&B. The best days of hip hop. The last I heard Valerie Day and John Smith of Nu Shooz are still rocking. They make time seem like it stood still. The last I heard, the group still tour today, but recently, according to nushoozmusic.com, there are no upcoming tour dates. They have an album out now called “Bagtown." I love the single, Bagtown. “Always something going on when you go down to Bagtown.” That's a nice single. You've got to hear it.

Song: The Morning AfterSong by: Maureen McGovernPhoto credit: 20th Century Fox Records - Billboard, 11. Aug. 1973Usage: Wikipedia Public DomainPodcast vocals: Gail NoblesI use to wake up to songs like Morning After. The radio would play all night. All night until the morning.Good sounding days of radio. I'm GN, and you're listening to Sound Flave Radiae Applis. I never thought I'd be talking to people all over the world through what we call the Internet about music minus playing the records. Sound Flave Radiae is about voice in podcasting. But it can be so much more. We still can remember music. The best music like Maureen McGovern's “The Morning After”. A song written for the 1972 film The Poseidon Adventure, winning Best Original Song at the 45th Academy Awards. Following the success, Maureen McGovern recorded a single version that became a No. 1 hit in the US for two weeks during August 1973, with Gold record sales. In those days, I was just a baby. And every time the radio was turned on, I remember hearing the song, “The Morning After”. Little did I know that Maureen was singing my life then. I remember waking up through the night looking for the sunlight. I heard a DJ say on an old radio Broadcast that it was a nippy little song, “ The Morning After” but that song said plenty.

Keyboardist: Gail NoblesHello everyone! This is GN from Radiae Applis Soul. Today's topic is Dick Griffey - Solar Records. Dick Griffey was a record producer and music promoter who founded SOLAR Records - Sound of Los Angeles Records". The label played a major role in developing a funk-oriented blend of disco, R&B and soul music during the 1970s and 1980s. As a concert promoter, Griffey arranged bookings for artists such as James Brown, The Sylvers, Aretha Franklin, Jon Gibson, Stevie Wonder and the Jacksons.SOLAR Records was a record label founded in 1977 by Dick Griffey, reconstituted out of Soul Train Records only two years after it was founded with Soul Train television show host and creator Don Cornelius.SOLAR began in 1975 as Soul Train Records, founded by Dick Griffey and Soul Train creator Don Cornelius. The first act they signed was an R&B vocal quartet they named The Soul Train Gang who performed one of Soul Train's many themes, Their first album was entitled Don Cornelius Presents The Soul Train Gang. In 1976, their second album, The Soul Train Gang, produced by Philly's Norman Harris, was released. The Gang broke up in 1977.Griffey reorganized Soul Train Records into the newly founded SOLAR label in late 1977. Griffey and Cornelius remained good friends, and as a result SOLAR maintained close ties to the Soul Train show.SOLAR was known for several others who enjoyed success, including: The Whispers, Dynasty, Lakeside, Midnight Star, Klymaxx, Calloway, Carrie Lucas, Collage and The Deele — which introduced singer/songwriter/producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and future music executive Antonio "L.A." Reid. Griffey had always believed in giving new talents the opportunity to create and develop their craft, and he was introduced to songwriters/producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis by his A & R rep Dina R. Andrews (Dina Andrews Management Inc) who was the team's first manager, Reggie and Vincent Calloway, and Leon F. Sylvers III. By 1987, the label began to see its commercial fortunes decline. From 1977 to 1981, SOLAR was distributed by RCA Records, which had also distributed the Soul Train Records label during its two-year run.Griffey died at the age of 71 on September 24, 2010. He was survived by his wife Carrie Lucas, a singer he married in 1974; four children and five grandchildren. His daughter, Carolyn Griffey, joined Shalamar in 2005. She currently performs as a member.Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's episode, Dick Griffey. Thanks for tuning into Radiae Applis a soul on Sound Flave.

I Can't Be You and You Can't Be Me. Hi! I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Radiae ApplisSoul on Sound Flave. Today I'm thinking of The Glass House Band: an assembly of musicians put together by Holland Dozier Holland for their Invictus Record label in 1969. The group was led by Ty Hunter and included Scherrie Payne, sister of soul singer Freda Payne.[2] The group released two albums and had a string of chart hits through 1972, peaking with 1969's "Crumbs Off The Table", but once their popularity had dried up, Invictus dissolved the group.I like the House of Glads song, I Can't Be You ( You Can't Be Me) released in 1970. It was #90 on the U.S. Pop Singles chart & #33 on the U.S. R&B chart. The song said: The whole world is a stage. We all play different roles. In different bodies we all got different souls.

Song: WarSong by: Edwin StarrSong written by: Norman Whitfield, Barrett StrongPhoto credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeanfrancoishayeur/Usage: Public DomainFirst vocals by: Gail NoblesEdwin Starr vocals: samplefocus.comUsage: Royalty free (Motown)Today's topic: Edwin Starr - WarWhat is it good for? Absolutely Nothin'That's how Edwin would sing it y'all. Edwin was famous for his Norman Whitfield- produced Motown singles of the 1970s, most notably the number one hit, “War”. Whitfield first produced the song - an obvious anti–Vietnam War statement – with The Temptations as the original vocalists. After Motown began receiving repeated requests to release "War" as a single, Whitfield re-recorded the song with Edwin Starr as the vocalist, with the label deciding to withhold the Temptations' version from single release. Starr's version of "War" was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970, and is not only the most successful and well-known record of his career, but it is also one of the most popular protest songs ever recorded.Edwin Starr despised war according to the lyrics. He said: Cause it means destruction of innocent lives. War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes. When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives. War what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. You're listening to Sound Flave. Im you're host, Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening.

The composition was first successful as a 1967 hit single recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and became a hit again in 1970 when recorded by former Supremes frontwoman Diana Ross. The song became Ross's first solo number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.When Barry Gordy chose Diana Ross to sing lead for the song “Ain't No Mountain High Enough”, I must admit that she was a good choice for that song. She had a soft & light voice and it was very soothing. “If you need me, call me.”She sounded very sexy and persuasive with her words.“Just call my name.I'll be there in a hurry.On that you can depend and never worry.You see, my love is alive.”Simple words she made beautiful with her voice. It was like listening to a beautiful poem at first for someone who needed someone. And then Miss Ross began to sing, “ Ain't No Mountain High Enough”.(Diana Singing)She sounded as if she was calling from a mountain. It didn't matter how far away you were. You didn't have to worry because high and low somebody was going to be there no matter what. That's what Diana Ross was telling you. She had a way of reaching us with a powerful vocal.Miss Ross sang “Ain't No Mountain High Enough” as if the song was her very own. There is so much feeling when you here it. Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye's version was awesome and so was Diana's version. I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Sound Flave.(Diana Singing)

At the time in the 80's, not many people I know heard the song. I'll sing a few lines. (Singing)I use to listen to Michael Jackson and sing along with him singing the song, Someone In the Dark. I could sing better in the past. I was a lot younger then, and was practicing more. Michael's voice sounded so angelic to me in singing a song. He had a sweet sounding voice. (Singing) He had a way of singing his words and expressing himself. When I heard Michael singing, Someone In The Dark, I was touched and felt some loneliness in my life just like he did.

Song: Let It BeSong by: The BeatlesWritten by: Lennon-McCartney Photo credit: Dersachse95 - Own workUsage: CC BY-SA 3.0https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LetItBe.JPGPodcast vocals: Gail NoblesKeyboardist: Gail NoblesToday's topic: The Beatles - Let It BeLater I'm going to tell you how me and my mom both laid down and had a dream about the song, Let It Be. But first, let's talk about how it was written.Let It Be is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released on March 1970 as a single. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon-McCartney partnership. McCartney said he had the idea of "Let It Be" after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the sessions for The Beatles ("the White Album") in 1968. Mary Patricia McCartney died of cancer in 1956, when he was fourteen. In rehearsing the song with the Beatles in January 1969, in place of the "Mother Mary" lyric, McCartney occasionally sang "Brother Malcolm", a reference to the Beatles' assistant Mal Evans. McCartney later said: "It was great to visit with her again. I felt very blessed to have that dream. So that got me writing 'Let It Be'. In a later interview he said about the dream that his mother had told him, "It will be all right, just let it be." It's funny because when my mom was sick, we both heard the song by Paul McCartney “ Let It Be” on the same night in a dream. Me and my mom were very close.Somehow she knew she would die young. That's something she felt and strongly believed. But I kept on having faith that she would not die. When she died in the hospital, I prayed that God would bring her back, and God did and allowed her to live just a little while longer. The Lord had showed me a miracle, but it was still in God's will for him to take my mother. The breath of my mother left again around noon time. I knew I had to let it be. Still feeling like it wasn't the end, I knew that Christ was there and I heard him say some words to me. My mom died in the month of May of 2001. She was 53 years old. “Let It Be” had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning it's chart run at number 6 and eventually reaching the top. It was the Beatles final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band. The song, “Let It Be” was recorded on Apple records. I'm Gail Nobles. Today's topic: The Beatles- Let It Be.

The group was first signed to Stax Records in 1970. Later they moved briefly in 1976 to Epic Records for two singles.I love the groups song “ Explain it to Her Mama”. It's from the album, The Best of the Temprees. I don't know how they came up with the song, but it was a very good song to come up with. The lyrics tell the truth. I don't know if the song was a hit, but it sure does sound like it was a hit. It's telling a mama to teach her daughter. The song is a mama message song.

Music Intro by: Gail Nobles © 2022Time Life added music in 1967, selling box sets and collections through Time–Life Records. During the 1960s and 1970s, the collections released by Time–Life Records catered to an adult audience, They have a long list of music series. Soul, Rock, Classic, Easy Listening, and music of all kinds. Music I enjoy. The 60s, the 70s, the 80s. …I saw Soul Superstars of the 70's from their commercial on television. I love their commercials. The commercial was showing so many singing groups and singers like George Benson, Whitney Houston, and Marvin Gaye. There were so many hit songs that were mentioned, and every singing group and singer was definitely a superstar.Time Life was founded in 1961 as the book marketing division of Time, Incorporated. It took its name from Time Inc.'s own cornerstone magazines, Time and Life, two of the most popular magazines of the era, but remained independent from both. Starting in 1967, Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections (two to five records) and packaged them as a sturdy box set. After Walter Wanger's death (film producer) in 1968, its Time Life Films subsidiary also acquired his production company Walter Wanger Productions and many of its films. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the selection of books, music and videos grew and was diversified into more genres. When record labels were no longer producing vinyl albums in 1990, Time Life transitioned to CD. You're listening to Sound Flave. I'm your host, Gail Nobles.

Under the name Little Ann, she appeared on her first record, “Boxtop”, in 1958. In 1960, she was introduced as Tina Turner with the hit duet single “ A Fool in Love”. The duo Ike & Tina Turner became one of the most formidable live acts in history. They released hits such as Its Gonna Work Out Fine, River Deep - Mountain High, and Proud Mary.Everybody knows about the kind of Relationship Ike and Tina Turner had. Tina left her husband and in the 1980's Turner launched one of the greatest comebacks in music history. Her 1984 multi-platinum album Private Dancer contained the hit song What's Love Got To Do With It, which won the Grammy Award for the Record of the Year and became her first and only No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. At age 44, she was the oldest female artist to top of the Hot 100. Her chart success continued with We Don't Need Another Hero which appeared in the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome which starred Tina Turner and Mel Gibson. And there were other songs like Private Dancer, I don't want to fight No More, and Golden Eye which was the theme for the 1995 James Bond film, Golden Eye. Tina did well with her comeback, and she has done it all without Ike, and she's still making some headlines today.I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Sound Flave (Radiae Applis).

John's record store Dolphin's of Hollywood was opened in 1948 on Central Avenue in Los Angeles Central Ave was a hub for jazz music in Los Angeles and attracted figures such as Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Joe Turner, Billy Holiday, Sam Cooke, and Charlie Parker. Hits like “Earth Angel by the doo-whoop, the Penguins, we're first released during a live broadcast inside Dolphin's of Hollywood. So it was like having a radio station inside of a record store. He had the idea of having a record label that would produce out of the record store.In 1950, Dolphin started his first record label titled Recorded in Hollywood. Dolphin worked with artists such as Sam Cooke, Percy Mayfield, and Harry Caesar just to name a few. Dolphin produced several famous records under the Recorded in Hollywood label, and eventually created other labels. The sad thing about John Dolphin is he was murdered in 1958 by an angry singer and shipping clerk Percy Ivy. He was upset because Dolphin wouldn't give him a record deal. His wife, Ruth Dolphin, took over Dolphins of Hollywood after John's death. She died in 2005.John Dolphin's Recorded In Hollywood was before Berry Gordy and Motown.

Song and Story: A Listening CitySong and Story by: Gail Nobles © 2021Keyboard player: Gail NoblesVocals by: Gail Nobles(Singing)There's a future beyond. We got to work towards that future. Prosperity is meant to be. …Hello I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Sound Flave(Radiae Applis). Everyday we hear some kind of sound. Sound of outcries., sound of frustration & anger, sound of war; sound of debate. But it gets better. There is also a sound of prayers, sound of hope; sound of joy. Demons will come and tell you there is no future, but there is a city of angels above. You can't always go by what you see, and what you hear down here. Sometimes you have have to tune the world out to hear the voice of promise, and you must endure. You can't give up because if you give up, you'll never see the promise.I came not with the sound of radio, but with the sound of Radiae, and that sound is building a group of listeners. I call them Applis. They are like a city. Families are storing up fruit in the storehouses because yes, there will be hard times. We need wisdom to make it. That's why I say pray for the apple growers because they have a hard time too. But God is a way maker, and he's gonna make a way. I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. …
