Carole King's Tapestry is so cozy, you'll want to hug it; sit with it. It sounds simple, warm, and totally unassuming. But it's way more impressive than it seems at first.Adam and Peter break down what's actually going on beneath the surface of Tapestry ... and what most people miss. Carole King was already an elite songwriter long before this album. You know Aretha Franklin's “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”? Carole wrote that. “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” by The Shirelles? She wrote that, too. When she was just 17! Listen closely and you hear it everywhere: in the chord choices, in the way the she actually PLAYS the piano instead of just accompanying her vocals, and in the way her melodies and lyrics lock together so naturally you barely notice how intentional it all is. Add in that soulful, sweet voice, and you start to understand how this unassuming record became a chart-topping, Grammy-dominating classic when it came out in 1971.Tapestry sounds easy, but it's not. Check out this episode, and you'll never hear this album the same way again.

Internal medicine physician Earl Stewart, Jr. discusses his article "Pancreatic cancer racial disparities." Earl examines the devastating pattern of pancreatic cancer claiming Black cultural icons like John Lewis and Aretha Franklin while the medical establishment fails to implement race-specific screening guidelines. He highlights research showing that high-risk individuals undergoing surveillance have a 50 percent five-year survival rate compared to just 9 percent for those diagnosed through usual care. The discussion challenges the current medical inertia that demands perfect data before acting and proposes a three-tier risk-stratified approach to save lives in Black communities.

Rock and roll is not rock and roll without a beat. John Lingan's new book, BACKBEATS: A History of Rock and Roll in 15 Drummers (Scribner; Publication date: November 11, 2025) is an electrifying journey through the history of rock and roll, told through the lives of fifteen iconic drummers and their percussion rivals-from John Bonham and Charlie Watts to Ringo Starr and Questlove.Rock and roll thrives on rhythm, but the drummers who drive that pulse often stay in the shadows. In BACKBEATS, acclaimed music historian John Lingan brings these unsung heroes into the spotlight, delivering a fascinating journey through six decades of rock history.Lingan's deep research and vivid storytelling explores the lives of fifteen pathbreaking drummers and their fellow timekeepers-men and women who together laid down the beat of an era. From Bernard Purdie's legendary work with Aretha Franklin to Dave Grohl's funk- and punk-indebted swing for Nirvana, these drummers redefined what was possible in pop music. Iconic figures like Ringo Starr, whose inventive style transformed the Beatles, and Charlie Watts, the steady backbone of the Rolling Stones, take center stage. But Lingan doesn't stop there-he also shines a light on Hal Blaine, the backbone of the LA studio scene's "Wrecking Crew," groundbreaking, underappreciated talents like Maureen Tucker of The Velvet Underground, whose minimalist beats rewrote the rulebook, and Sam Lay, a pivotal figure in rock's evolution from the blues.Packed with insider stories and exclusive interviews-from Robert Plant's reflections on Led Zeppelin's legendary sessions to revered recording engineer Steve Albini's behind-the-scenes accounts-BACKBEATS offers an eye-opening glimpse into some of rock's most unforgettable moments, including the seismic shift of Bob Dylan going electric at Newport, James Brown's explosive creation of funk in the late sixties, and Slayer's role in the birth of LA thrash metal in the early eighties.More than just a tribute to an unrecognized group of virtuosos, this book is a love letter to the art of drumming itself. BACKBEATS shows how these remarkable artists not only kept the beat but drove rock and roll forward. It's a must-read for any music lover, offering a fresh and thrilling perspective on a story we only thought we knew.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

För en del är framgång mer skrämmande än misslyckande. Framgång begränsar friheten, och kan bli det som dödar. Mamman, aktivisten och sångerskan sa nej till alla orimliga krav och förväntningar, och återvände hem. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Lauryn Hill flög till Detroit med sin nyfödde son och sin mamma 1997. Dagarna i studion med Aretha Franklin resulterade inte bara i drottningens bästa utspel på femton år (”A rose is still a rose”). Aretha delade också med sig av erfarenheter, som historien om hur Jerry Wexler på sin tid fick äran för produktionen trots att Franklin var högst delaktig i processen. Något som Lauryn Hill kände igen från dagarna i Fugees. Även om Wyclef och Pras såg Lauryn som sin jämlike, så betraktade många henne enbart som sångerska och MC, inte som låtskrivare och producent. När Lauryn skulle lämna Detroit gjorde hon på väg till flygplatsen ett besök på Motownmuseet. Det blåvita huset vid West Grand Boulevard där drömmarna för några av hennes idoler förverkligades. Vid sidan om Arethasamarbetet verkade det bidra till kraften och självförtroendet som krävdes för att skapa musik med samma tidlösa kvaliteter som Stevie och Marvin (”The miseducation of Lauryn Hill”). Det här är ett av flera nedslag i en berättelse som bygger på Mats Nileskärs två möten med Lauryn Hill. Han har även intervjuat Wyclef, Pras, John Forte och D'Angelo.

Jimmy Jam is on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week. What type of work would Jam be doing if not for being an R&B/pop songwriter and record producer since the 1980s with various artists like Lionel Richie, Herb Alpert, TLC, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Boyz II Men, Usher, Chaka Khan, and more? Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would have been working at McDonald's, like Rachel McAdams, or teaching middle school drama, like Jon Hamm. In other words, they may have been just a jobber.

John Maggio, director of the HBO documentary Paul Anka: His Way, about the life and legacy of one of popular music's most enduring figures. Paul Anka, born in 1941 in Ottawa, Canada, rose to fame at sixteen with the hit single “Diana.” Unlike many artists of his era, Anka maintained early control over his songwriting and publishing, a decision that enabled a career spanning more than six decades. In addition to his own recordings, he wrote songs for artists including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, and Tom Jones, most notably “My Way.” Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to an extraordinary edition of the Takin’ A Walk podcast from Buzz Knight music and the “Master of Music Mayhem,” Harry Jacobs. This comprehensive look at weekly music history explores one of the most emotionally complex weeks in rock and roll history, spanning December 8th through December 14th. From tragic losses to groundbreaking debuts, this week encompasses the full spectrum of music history’s most pivotal moments. John Lennon’s Assassination: December 8, 1980 - A Day That Changed Music Forever The episode opens with perhaps the darkest day in rock music history: December 8, 1980, when John Lennon was shot and killed outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs provide intimate personal recollections of this Beatles tragedy that shocked the world. For listeners of this weekly music history episode note the Buzz Knight music podcast replay of "Takin A Walk" with the incredible Julian Lennon. The Beatles Reunion: Free as a Bird and the Anthology Era Moving from tragedy to reunion, the episode explores December 9, 1995, when the Beatles released “Free as a Bird”—the first new Beatles music in 24 years. Both hosts were working together at WZLX in Boston during this momentous release, bringing their firsthand perspective to this Beatles reunion moment. The track, built around a John Lennon demo with contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, represented a technological and emotional achievement in music history. Harry admits his initial underwhelm with the track, noting that while “Free as a Bird” generated enormous curiosity worldwide, it never achieved the status of Beatles classics like “Ticket to Ride,” “Help!,” or songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The honest assessment reflects how even beloved artists can struggle to recapture past magic, and both hosts acknowledge they haven’t revisited the song since its release. This candid discussion provides valuable context for understanding fan expectations versus artistic reality in music reunion projects. The Blues Brothers Phenomenon: From Saturday Night Live to Cultural Institution December 9, 1978 marks the Saturday Night Live debut of the Blues Brothers, a moment that transformed comedy sketch into legitimate musical force. The episode provides deep insights into how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created this blues and R&B supergroup, enlisting Paul Shaffer, Lou Marini, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper, who just passed away—the latter two being legendary members of Booker T. and the MGs and key figures in the Stax Records sound that defined Memphis soul music and produced classics like “Soul Man” and “Green Onions.” Howard Shore, who served as Saturday Night Live’s musical director, recognized the potential in Aykroyd and Belushi’s blues performances and helped facilitate their transition from comedy bit to recording artists. The hosts discuss how this comedy-music crossover assembled world-class musicians around a satirical concept that became genuinely respected in the music community. The Blues Brothers represented a unique fusion of comedy and music that introduced younger audiences to blues legends and R&B classics. The conversation explores Tom “Bones” Malone, a guest on Buzz’s podcast, who joined the Blues Brothers band and played trombone with Blood, Sweat & Tears before becoming part of the SNL band. The episode details the evolution of the band from initial concept to full touring and recording entity, with Buzz noting the impressive live performances featuring the Blues Brothers’ acrobatic stage show, where the larger-than-life Belushi performed cartwheels, splits, and handstands that would later inspire Chris Farley’s physical comedy style. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, featuring “Briefcase Full of Blues” and subsequent albums, has “stood the test of time” according to both hosts. Songs like “Rubber Biscuit,” performed with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and the memorable Aretha Franklin diner scene where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke,” remain embedded in popular culture. The authentic musicianship combined with comedic brilliance created something that transcended both genres, making the Blues Brothers a permanent fixture in American music history. Otis Redding’s Legacy and Tragic Death: December 10, 1967 The episode takes a somber turn with December 10, 1967, the day Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, along with members of the Bar-Kays. The timing of this tragedy magnifies its impact—Redding had recorded ”(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” just three days earlier, and the song hadn’t yet been released. The track became a posthumous number-one hit, cementing Redding’s status as one of soul music’s greatest artists, though he never lived to see its success. Wings Over America: McCartney’s Epic Live Album - December 10, 1976 December 10, 1976 brought the release of Wings Over America, Paul McCartney’s triple live album documenting his 1975-1976 tour with Wings. The episode explores the rarity of triple albums in music history, particularly live albums of such scope and ambition. The hosts discuss the bootleg album called “Wings from Wings” that allegedly forced McCartney’s hand, rushing the official release to market before bootleggers could dominate sales. Harry reveals the meticulous production process behind Wings Over America, noting that McCartney collected 8,000 hours of live recordings from the tour. The legendary Beatles bassist and singer then personally mixed the album, listening to five different versions of every song before selecting the best performances. The final album was crafted to sound like a single concert experience, though it actually represented the best moments culled from the entire tour—a production approach that set standards for live albums. The episode highlights how “Maybe I’m Amazed” from this album became the definitive version for many fans, surpassing even the studio recording in emotional power and musical execution. The album also featured several Beatles songs including “Yesterday” and “Bluebird,” allowing McCartney to honor his past while showcasing his post-Beatles work with Wings. This balance between Beatles nostalgia and new material demonstrated McCartney’s artistic evolution while satisfying longtime fans. Early Genesis and Progressive Rock Evolution December 11, 1972 saw Genesis release “Foxtrot,” their fifth studio album and a landmark in progressive rock history. The episode explores this Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the band’s evolution through various lineups. Harry recalls “Watcher of the Skies” as a standout track, while both hosts discuss later Genesis classics like “The Carpet Crawlers” from “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” The conversation reveals differing perspectives on Genesis eras, with Buzz preferring the Peter Gabriel period and later Phil Collins-fronted work, while Harry admits his fandom developed more during the “Trick of the Tail” era following Gabriel’s departure. This honest exchange reflects how progressive rock bands often created distinct identities across lineup changes, appealing to different audiences in different eras. Buzz shares a memorable concert experience seeing Genesis with double drumming featuring Phil Collins and Bill Bruford (renowned for his work with Yes and King Crimson). This unique configuration represented Genesis at a transitional moment, experimenting with expanded instrumentation before settling into the trio format that would define their later commercial success. The “Trick of the Tail” tour demonstrated the band’s ability to continue without their iconic frontman, eventually leading to Collins taking over lead vocals permanently. The episode takes an unexpected turn to December 12, 1901, when Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland. This moment in broadcasting history laid the foundation for everything that followed, including the careers of Buzz and Harry as radio professionals. Harry jokes about Buzz working for Marconi in 1901, highlighting the self-deprecating humor that characterizes their chemistry while acknowledging that without Marconi’s invention, they would never have met or built careers in radio. This historical perspective reminds listeners that music distribution, radio broadcasting, and the entire infrastructure of modern music industry traces back to pioneering moments like Marconi’s transmission. The evolution of radio technology from those first signals to contemporary podcast production represents over a century of innovation that transformed how humans experience and share music globally. The Clash’s London Calling: Punk’s Masterpiece - December 14, 1979 December 14, 1979 saw the Clash release “London Calling” in the UK, a double album that transcended punk rock limitations to incorporate reggae, rockabilly, ska, and R&B influences. The hosts recall the album’s innovative approach, including the hidden track “Train in Vain,” which became a hit despite not being listed on the original album cover—a marketing trick that created mystique and rewarded attentive listeners.

Barbara Minton is a psychologist and musician who creates neuroscience-informed music designed to support and heal the brain. In this episode, we explore the relationship between music and the brain, and how we can use it to guide or change our mental and emotional states.We talk about how music affects the brain, the difference between making it and listening to it, and why different genres influence us in different ways. We get into transcendent and altered states, how music can support grief, loss, pain, insomnia, and emotional processing, and how individual differences like ADHD or PTSD shape the nervous system's response. We also look at music as a tool for social connection and the unique experience of creating and playing music with others.We discuss how different instruments feel to play, what makes the guitar and pipe organ special, and how music ties into memory. We explore how to use it deliberately to enhance learning and recall, why our emotional reactions to songs change over time, and how lyrics shape the way we see the world. We also explore why certain genres explode at particular moments in history, why pop music remains so consistently popular, which musical elements most strongly affect the brain, what it feels like to make and play music, how live music differs from recorded music, and the overall healing power of music.Connect and Learn MoreWebsite: musicandhealing.netAlbum: Calm the Storm LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/barbara-minton-057957164RESOURCES People: Ana Lapwood, Aretha Franklin, Calum Graham, Freddie Mercury, Hans Berger, Peppino D'Agostino, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Wolfgang Amadeus MozartSongs: Amazing Grace, Pavane for a Dead PrincessStudies: Contrasting effects of music on reading comprehension in preadolescents with and without ADHD  (Madjar et al., 2020), Human song: Separate neural pathways for melody and speech ( Hamilton, 2022)

Als 2007 die Verfilmung des Aussteiger-Dramas «Into The Wild» ganze Horden von Hipstern dazu inspirierte, das Niemandsland von Alaska aufzusuchen, starteten zwei Jungs aus Wasilla, AK, in die Gegenrichtung - und der Rest ist Pop-Geschichte. Jetzt wird zurückgespult. John Gourley und Zach Carothers zogen ihrerseits aus - aber raus aus der Wildnis und rein in die Zivilisation - und fassten Mitte Nullerjahre in der Hardcore-Szene von Portland, Oregon, Fuss. Quasi als Nebenprodukt gründeten sie das Indie-Pop-Projekt Portugal. The Man. Grob zehn Jahre später knackten sie mit dem Album «Woodstock» und dem Mega-Hit «Feel It Still» den Jackpot, gewannen einen Grammy und etablierten sich in den Radio-Playlists, auf Festivalbühnen und wohl auch in deinen Gehörgängen. Nun ist es Zeit für die Rückkehr. Das mittlerweile 10. Album «SHISH» ist nun ein Alleingang von John Gourley und eine berührende und abenteuerliche Auseinandersetzung mit dessen Kindheit in Alaska. Die Tracklist referenziert entlegene Siedlungen, das Naturmonument Denali und Alaska-eigene Alltagsaktivitäten wie Hundeschlittenfahren oder Jagen. Als roter Faden zieht sich das Nomadenleben der Gourleys, die als sogenannte «Musher» mit ihren Huskies in rustikalen Holzhütten lebten und nach ein paar Jahren weiterzogen, durch die Songs. Dass sie dabei stets einen Plattenspieler samt Aretha Franklin- und Motown-Vinyl mitpackten, lässt mehr als staunen, erklärt aber die musikalischen Grundsteine von Portugal. The Man perfekt. Die Kernelemente dieser Zurück-zum-Ursprung-Platte widerspiegeln den improvisierten und rohen Alltag von damals: Do-It-Yourself-Spirit und grenzenloses Experimentieren, unendlich freaky aber geerdet.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with Stax legend David Porter.ABOUT DAVID PORTER Named one of Rolling Stone magazine's “100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time,” Porter is best known for his songwriting partnership with Isaac Hayes that helped define the sound of Memphis's legendary Stax Records. As the first African American staff songwriter at Stax, Porter, along with his partner, wrote and produced songs such as “B-A-B-Y” for Carla Thomas, “Your Good Thing (Is About to End)”—an R&B hit for Mable John that later became a pop and R&B smash for Lou Rawls, and his own recording of “Can't See You When I Want To.” Hayes and Porter are best known, however, for their work with Sam & Dave, including such classic hits as “You Don't Know Like I Know,” “You Got Me Hummin',” “Hold On! I'm Comin'” (which later became a country hit for Waylon Jennings and Jerry Reed), “Soul Man” (which became a hit a second time thanks to the Blues Brothers), “I Thank You” (which was later covered by ZZ Top), and “When Something is Wrong with My Baby” (which was reimagined as a memorable duet between Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, a country hit for Sonny James, and an adult contemporary hit for Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville). The list of artists who've covered Porter's songs includes Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, William Bell, Melissa Ethridge, Bonnie Raitt, Garth Brooks, Etta James, Celine Dion, Wilson Pickett, George Benson, Dusty Springfield, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Staple Singers, Solomon Burke, James Brown, Eric Clapton, B. B. King, Tina Turner, Jackie Wilson, and more. His songs have been used as samples in countless recordings by artists such as Jay-Z, Eminem, Wu-Tang Clan, The Notorious B.I.G., Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, and others. A highly celebrated giant among celebrated songwriters, Porter was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode features Professor of Theater, current Chair of the Music Department, and the 45th LaFollette Lecturer, Prof. Michael Abbott '85, discussing cuts from The Last Mixtape (the title of his lecture), the stylistic and tonal range of Aretha Franklin, and on coming full circle as an artist (Episode 391).

Aretha Franklin sang about it. Rodney Dangerfield joked about it. And Jackie Robinson famously said, like him or not, he'd earned it. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. We are living in a period where respect is a neglected virtue — too often sacrificed in public discourse, online exchanges, and everyday interactions. Robert L. “Bob” Dilenschneider aims to change that, even if only one interaction at a time. Bob is the founder of The Dilenschneider Group, which, since October 1991, has provided strategic advice and counsel to Fortune 500 companies, professional organizations, trade associations, educational institutions, and leading families and individuals around the world. Bob's newest book, his 20th, is Respect: How to Change the World One Interaction at a Time. The book is a timely reflection on the urgent need for civility in an era of deep division. Drawing on both his life and professional experience and the wisdom of 13 admired leaders, Respect outlines five practical strategies for restoring civility and rebuilding mutual understanding. “It can feel like the world is broken,” Bob acknowledges in his book. The solution, he believes, does not rest with political leaders or other highly influential individuals but with individuals, regular citizens, who can take steps to restore a culture of respectfulness.
