An intimate dive into Leon Ware's Musical Massage—the sensual, soulful sibling to Marvin Gaye's I Want You, and a timeless blueprint for R&B intimacy.

We explore Marvin Gaye's I Want You—a sensual, genre-blurring album that redefined soul music.

In this episode, we delve into Bob Marley & The Wailers' Survival, exploring its militant themes, track-by-track commentary, and its profound call for African unity and global resistance against oppression. Through its powerful lyrics and rhythms, the album stands as a timeless manifesto of resilience and justice. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thedecibelsdeeppodcast/support
