Taking a Walk with Narada Michael Walden Episode Description: Join us for an inspiring chatl with the legendary Narada Michael Walden, one of music’s most decorated producers, drummers, and songwriters. From his early days as a powerhouse drummer with the Mahavishnu Orchestra to becoming a hitmaking producer who helped define the sound of the 1980s and beyond, Narada shares stories from an extraordinary career that spans jazz fusion, R&B, pop, and dance music. During our interview, Narada opens up about working with icons like Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Mariah Carey, revealing the creative magic behind some of the biggest hits in music history. He discusses his philosophy of music as a spiritual practice and how meditation and his spiritual journey have influenced his approach to creating timeless songs.

He shares his excitement about recent recordings that blend his signature infectious grooves with contemporary sounds, and reflects on how his approach to music-making has evolved while staying true to the joy and positivity that have always defined his work. This conversation is a masterclass in creativity, perseverance, and the transformative power of music, as Narada discusses his Grammy Award-winning career, his induction into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, and his unwavering commitment to spreading love and light through his art.

Send us a textJupiter slides into Cancer, his place of exaltation, and the cosmic professor swaps chalkboards for casseroles—nurturing, expansive, and fierce all at once. In this episode, Justine and Scarlett trace Jupiter's 12-year return cycles, from Obama-era optimism to Greta Thunberg's chart, from Montessori's child-led wisdom to AI ethics think tanks.They break down Jupiter's nakshatras—Punarvasu (endless arrows), Vishakha (fire and thresholds), and Purvabhadrapada (Kundalini lightning)—all feline fierce, all Durga-coded. Fashion goes saffron bathrobes and octopus-alien costumes, music runs from Aretha Franklin's gospel to Quincy Jones' orchestral genius, and film picks span Dead Poets Society to Free Willy.Myth-wise, Indra learns the hard way what happens when you snub your teacher, as Bṛhaspati walks out and the devas lose their divine shield. It's a story of humility, wisdom, and the radiant power of exalted Jupiter—our collective reminder to bow to what truly nourishes.Support the show

The Kelly Alexander Show welcomes pop-soul recording artist Lily Lane who has dropped her song "Reciprocation" and has a new EP on the way in November called “Domesticated." Lily lets us know how her career in music took off, why Aretha Franklin is so important to her and why she will always support the LGBTQIA+ community. Lily also shares the meaning behind her EP "Domesticated," who she would choose as her musical guest if she was hosting SNL and the close relationship she has with her brother, Tucker Halpern, who happens to be one half of the Grammy-nominated EDM duo Sofi Tukker. Enjoy the conversation and thank you for listening!
Send us a textWhat happens when you take a cult classic like "The Blues Brothers," remove its electric star, add a random child, strip away all profanity, and film it entirely on sterile soundstages? You get "Blues Brothers 2000," one of the most bewildering sequel disasters in cinema history.Our deep dive into this 1998 misfire reveals how profoundly the filmmakers misunderstood what made the original special. The first film thrived on John Belushi's chaotic energy playing against Dan Aykroyd's deadpan delivery, creating an unforgettable duo wreaking havoc through gritty Chicago streets. The sequel, however, leaves Aykroyd adrift without a worthy counterpart, with John Goodman's talents wasted on an undeveloped character.We explore the bizarre studio mandates that doomed this production from the start – including the requirement for a PG rating and the inexplicable demand to add a child character who disappears from the narrative for stretches at a time. The musical performances, while featuring legendary talents like Aretha Franklin and Erykah Badu, feel disconnected from the story, lacking the organic integration that made the original's numbers so memorable.The film's most unintentionally hilarious moments deserve special attention: a car that drives underwater while characters casually converse, a face covered in shaving cream somehow functioning as a disguise, and a bizarre voodoo sequence where the characters become zombies for no discernible reason. These elements combine to create what we dubbed "the most sanitized movie ever made" – a sequel that strips away everything edgy and authentic about its predecessor.Whether you're a Blues Brothers devotee still nursing wounds from this sequel or someone who's never experienced either film, our breakdown will have you laughing at the absurdity while appreciating why the original remains a beloved classic.

On this week's episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd turn their ears toward one of the most expressive instruments in music history: the saxophone. From Bob Seger's hauntingly beautiful “Turn The Page” to the iconic smoothness of Wham's “Careless Whisper,” the duo digs into the way the saxophone can transform a song into something timeless. They groove through the Rolling Stones' laid-back “Waiting On A Friend,” dance with Bowie's “Modern Love,” feel the epic storytelling in Springsteen's “Jungleland,” and toast with the classic party anthem “Tequila” by The Champs. The journey continues with Aretha Franklin's powerhouse hit “Respect,” the soulful yearning of INXS' “Never Tear Us Apart,” the rock ‘n' roll roots of Bill Haley's “Shake, Rattle, and Roll,” and another Bowie gem, “Young Americans.”Check out the playlist on YouTube Music.In the second half of the show, Tim the Nerd reflects on the passing of professional wrestling icon Hulk Hogan. While acknowledging Hogan as the spark that first drew him into the world of wrestling, Tim candidly explores the complicated legacy Hogan leaves behind—both as a larger-than-life performer and as a deeply flawed man. He emphasizes the importance of being honest about public figures' lives, for better and worse, while also calling out the extremes of online criticism that turned into harassment of Hogan's loved ones.It's a thoughtful, music-filled episode blending appreciation for the power of the saxophone with a nuanced conversation about legacy, fandom, and the messy ways we talk about the people who shaped pop culture.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song. Head to his website for information on how to purchase his EP, Here's To You, which is available on all digital platforms.Head to Friends Talking Nerdy's website for more information on where to find us online.

Last week the "How We Heard It" hosts came up with a list of the greatest women singers in modern music, debating Janis Joplin vs. Whitney Houston and Karen Carpenter vs. Barbra Streisand while also finding endless praise for everyone from Aretha Franklin to Linda Ronstadt to Annie Lennox to Billie Eilish. This week, "How We Heard It" pivots to men singers, going back in time to crooners like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby and country legends like Hank Williams and George Jones. From there, the hosts come forward, breezing through classic singer-songwriters like Jim Croce and James Taylor, R&B pioneers such as Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, and all manner of rock singers, including Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury, while pausing to engage in the inevitable Paul McCartney vs. John Lennon debate. The 1980s and 1990s are represented by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Sting, Robert Palmer, Michael Hutchence, Trent Reznor, Vince Gill and Randy Travis. And today's stars are also evaluated, including Post Malone, The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Benson Boone and John Legend. Meanwhile, you might be surprised to find out where many of the others fall into place, including Elton John, Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson and Robert Plant. Especially Robert Plant.
This week, we Willkommen actor and musician Josh Radnor! Josh is best known for playing Ted Mosby on the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother for nearly a decade. But that success came at an unexpected cost: an identity crisis that left him feeling trapped in a character he didn't create. In this episode, Josh talks about his formative role as the MC in his high school's production of Cabaret, his first “almost kiss” (soundtracked by Aretha Franklin), how psychedelics helped him stay centered amidst the whirlwind of fame, and the chance encounter that launched his second career as a musician in his 40s. Here are his songs.

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 Radio Play. 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.
Label: Atlantic 2518Year: 1968Condition: M-Price: $24.00Here's a beautiful copy of one of Aretha's very best -- and hardest-to-find -- singles. This copy has such great audio I had to celebrate by making an mp3 "snippet" of it... Enjoy! Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint with a drillhole (not shown in the scan). The vinyl looks almost untouched, and the audio sounds very close to Mint.

Chuck Leavell is absolutely legendary in rock and roll. He joined the Allman Brothers band in 1972 and helped record their most famous album Brothers and Sisters. Then in 1982 he became the keyboardist and piano player for the Rolling Stones. He has recorded music with David Gilmore, George Harrison, Aretha Franklin, Eric Clapton, Train, Miranda Lambert, Blues Traveler, The Black Crowes and many other world-famous artists! His career has spanned over 6 decades and he's coming to Ponte Vedra for a concert. He was nice enough to stop by the Doc G Show before his concert on 9/17. During the interview Doc and him talk about Alabama football, growing up in Tuscaloosa, seeing Ray Charles as a kid, joining the Allman Brothers, Dickey Betts, joining the Rolling Stones, recording with the Black Crowes, playing with Eric Clapton, recording with Train, getting into forestry, the American chestnut and so much more! Meanwhile on the rest of the show Doc and Mike get lost in the splendors of Doylestown PA such as Pumpkin chocolate chip cheesecake muffins! Listen now!

“The Blues Brothers” 1980 is packed with music and lots of law enforcement car chases. Then add in “Joliet” Jake and Elwood on “a mission from God” to save the orphanage, plus attacks on Jake's life by a mysterious woman left waiting at the altar, pursuit by the angry country western band, and attacks by a neo-Nazi party. What did I forget? Director John Landis herds these events into a crazy-quilt of music and mayhem.John Belushi is Jake Blues and Dan Aykroyd is blood brother Elwood. The large cast includes Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Candy, Ray Charles, Twiggy, Steve Lawrence, Frank Oz, Henry Gibson, Steven Spielberg in the Assessor's office, Ralph Foody as Police Dispatcher, and a long list of other talented folks. Hang on!

This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Getting to know John Snell" Who is the man behind the microphone?

And who better to interview John than the gregariously awesome Vinnie Ciesielski, who was himself a guest on The Other Side of the Bell, Episode #93 back in September of 2021. Vinnie and John chat about how John grew up to follow in the footsteps of his professional trumpet-playing father, Keith Snell, yet forged his own path through his education, musical styles and interests, before a sudden complete career U-turn that proved to give him another solid professional foundation, alongside his continued passion for music. And behind it all, for the past 20+ years, there's been Bob Reeves Brass. John talks about first meeting Bob and being taken under his wing, before returning with a law degree in hand to rescue the business, provide stability for Bob and his wife into retirement, and maintaining Bob's principled approach to business and customer service. Thank you to Vinnie for encouraging the idea and bringing this episode to life, and thank you to all of our wonderful listeners and viewers for your continued support.

In this episode we invite David Nathan to look back on his illustrious 60 years as "the British Ambassador of Soul". Our guest commences by recalling his gateway into Black American music: the covers of Shirelles and Miracles classics included on the first two Beatles albums. He furthermore describes the thrill of seeing Motown star Mary Wells supporting the Fab Four at Kilburn's State Cinema in October 1964, followed by his founding of the Nina Simone Appreciation Society. We hear about the Soul City record store David ran with the legendary Dave Godin – and about John Abbey's trailblazing Blues & Soul magazine, for which our guest began writing in 1968. Barney quotes from David's 1968 B&S profile of Aretha Franklin, with whom he later enjoyed a long friendship. The release of Make It Easy on Yourself – a box set David compiled of Dionne Warwick's immortal Scepter recordings – is the cue for us to hear clips from his 2012 audio interview with the Bacharach & David muse... and to learn about another "soulful diva" who became his close friend. We bring our guest's story more up-to-date with his reflections on yet another diva/pal, the one and only Chaka Khan. Mention of the former Rufus frontwoman's favourite producer, Arif Mardin, leads to discussion of Main Course, the Mardin-helmed album on which the Bee Gees "went disco" 50 long summers ago. David then reminisces about his own disco dalliances in '70s New York and his mid-'80s coastal switch to L.A. We wrap up by paying tribute to another key white writer on Black R&B and soul: the late Michael Lydon, whose voice can be heard in this episode introducing his fabulous 1977 audio interview with the wicked Wilson Pickett. Mark and Jasper talk us out with their thoughts on (and quotes from) pieces recently added to the RBP library, including Jim Farber's 1978 interview with Earth, Wind & Fire's Maurice White and Ian Winwood's 2001 trashing of Creed live in Louisville. Many thanks to special guest David Nathan. Visit his website at davidnathan.com. Dionne Warwick: Make It Easy On Yourself – The Scepter Recordings 1962-1971 is out now on SoulMusic Records. Pieces discussed: Aretha Franklin: Aretha's Artistry, Dionne Warwick (2012), Chaka Khan: Back...From Back In The Day, Back on course with the Bee Gees, How the Bee Gees got into Disco: An Oral History of Main Course, Arif Mardin: Producer, Wilson Pickett (1977), Return of the Wicked Pickett, Top Tunes: The Beach Boys, Bobby Womack: Bobby's got Understanding, Earth Wind & Fire: Extraterrestrial R&B, Creed live and From Kingston with love.

The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark. Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Paul the Trombonist. About Paul the Trombonist: Paul Nowell, widely recognized as "Paul The Trombonist," is a multi-talented artist rooted in Los Angeles, boasting roles as a music producer, songwriter, entrepreneur, performer, educator, YouTuber, and esteemed trombonist. His diverse skill set has led to private performances for a star-studded audience that includes names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, and Charlize Theron, among others. Garnering tens of millions of views, his original content videos stand testament to his growing acclaim. In his formative years, while performing in a jazz club in Cleveland with his ensemble, Paul caught the attention of Ron Ellington Shy — a notable figure linked to Duke Ellington and known for his involvement with the Drifters and Coasters. This chance encounter propelled him into collaborative projects with Ellington Shy. Not just that, his youth also witnessed a stint to perform with jazz icon Chico Hamilton's band, a worldwide tour with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and participation in the Tony-award-winning "best musical" "Memphis" written by Bon Jovi's keyboardist, David Bryan. His collaboration with the ten-time Grammy awardee Arturo Sandoval to create a series of online videos saw a meteoric rise to fame, captivating millions globally. The world of comedy has embraced Paul too, thanks to his collaborative performances with the renowned comedian Sinbad, amalgamating music and humor in an unprecedented style. His rich portfolio further extends to performances with soul music royalty Aretha Franklin, Seth MacFarlane — the brain behind Family Guy, the legendary Frankie Valli, and Noel Gallagher from Oasis. A proud alumnus of the Berklee College of Music, where he honed his skills under the guidance of trombone maestros including the illustrious Phil Wilson, Paul's journey came full circle when he reunited with Wilson to craft a successful video series, a project he cherishes dearly. This reunion bore the genesis of "Bone Masters," a pioneering internet show helmed by Paul, wherein he engages with living legends of the trombone world, orchestrating masterclasses and interviews, thereby creating the most expansive educational video library dedicated to the trombone. Paul's live performances are a league of their own, innovatively blending trombone with technology to forge sounds traversing Jazz, Pop, Hip-Hop, and Electronic genres. Leveraging modern technology and keyboards coupled with trombone improvisations, he crafts a transcendental musical experience. Apart from his musical endeavors, Paul is a well-recognized name in the online business arena, having secured numerous business accolades, including the prestigious 2 Comma Club awards on multiple occasions. His entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence are evident in every venture he undertakes, showcasing a multifaceted talent who continuously strives for greatness in the music industry and beyond. As a respected member of The Recording Academy, Paul contributes his vote annually at the Grammy Awards, holding a distinguished role in shaping the future of music.
Atlantic Records que consiguió encontrar la voz de Aretha Franklin y dio el cornetazo del rock psicodélico con la banda CREAM y más adelante con Led Zeppelin. El éxito de Atlantic continuó para conseguir fichar a ACDC. El sueño Sire fue uno de los impulsores del punk en Estados Unidos con el éxito de grupos como Los Ramones. Después del éxito de este género continuó en Reino Unido con el controvertido origen de Sex Pixtols; sin embargo, la moda del punk fue breve y las discográficas dieron paso a la llegada de otros grupos de rock meteóricos como U2 y la 'New wave'.
The forceful music that rolled out of Muscle Shoals in the 1960s and 1970s shaped hits by everyone from Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin to the Rolling Stones and Paul Simon. Christopher M. Reali's in-depth look at the fabled musical hotbed examines the events and factors that gave the Muscle Shoals sound such a potent cultural power.

Multifaceted and informed, Music and Mystique in Muscle Shoals (University of Illinois Press, 2022) reveals the people, places, and events behind one of the most legendary recording scenes in American history. Dr. Christopher Reali is an assistant professor of music at Ramapo College of New Jersey. Emily Ruth Allen (@emmyru91) holds a Ph.D. in musicology from Florida State University.

email: rockpoprollpodcast@gmail.com website: www.rockpopandroll.com (Some of) My Favorite Covers: From the earliest days of rock and roll, cover songs have been a vital part of the music's forward movement, drawing on its past. Long before we knew about digital discovery, one of the fastest ways for new artists to connect with audiences was to reimagine an existing hit and put it on an album or 45—infusing it with their own style, energy, and attitude. A Chuck Berry riff might get filtered through the Beatles' harmonies, or an old blues song could get a new spin in the hands of the Rolling Stones. Musicians have always looked back to reinterpret the songs that shaped them, essentially creating a conversation across decades of music. Great rock and roll covers often redefine the song. Jimi Hendrix's “All Along the Watchtower” transformed Bob Dylan's stark folk ballad into a guitar-rock, psychedelic stomper. Aretha Franklin took Otis Redding's “Respect” and made it a soul-rock anthem of empowerment. Nirvana's raw take on David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" introduced the track to an entirely new audience. In each case, the cover didn't just honor the original—it expanded its reach. The best covers don't just repeat the past—they rewrite it, proving that a great song can live many lives. 10 Iconic Rock and Roll Covers and How They Transformed the Original Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower (1968) Originally by Bob Dylan, Hendrix electrified the song with guitars and redefined it as a rock classic. Dylan himself later performed it in Hendrix's style. The Beatles – Twist and Shout (1963) Originally recorded by The Top Notes and popularized by The Isley Brothers, the Beatles turned it into their own via John Lennon's famously shredded vocal take. Aretha Franklin – Respect (1967) Originally by Otis Redding, Aretha flipped the perspective, injecting it with feminist firepower, gospel-inspired vocals, and made it an anthem for empowerment and equality. The Rolling Stones – Little Red Rooster (1964) Originally by Willie Dixon (recorded by Howlin' Wolf), the Stones slowed it down, leaning into the deep Chicago blues feel, introducing American blues to a younger audience. Nirvana – The Man Who Sold the World (1993) Originally by David Bowie, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged version stripped it to a haunting acoustic vibe that resonated with '90s alternative fans - and (re)introduced Bowie to them, Joe Cocker – With a Little Help from My Friends (1968) Originally by The Beatles, Cocker turned the Sgt. Pepper and Ringo song into a soulful, slow-burning rocker. Killer organ and gospel vocals. Janis Joplin – Piece of My Heart (1968) Originally by Erma Franklin, Joplin's version with Big Brother and the Holding Company was a raw and bluesy. The Clash – I Fought the Law (1979) Written in 1958 and first released in 1960 by The Crickets (after Buddy Holly left) and popularized by The Bobby Fuller Four, The Clash injected punk. It was their first single in the United States. Creedence Clearwater Revival – I Heard It Through the Grapevine (1970) Originally by Gladys Knight & The Pips and made famous by Marvin Gaye, CCR turned the Motown hit into an 11-minute swamp-rock jam. Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (1994) Originally by Leonard Cohen, Buckley's haunting performance influenced artists in the decades that followed. Further Listening: 4 Lesser-Known but Brilliant Beatles Covers The Black Keys – She Said, She Said (2002) A gritty, stripped-down garage-rock take on The Beatles' psychedelic classic from Revolver. Siouxsie and the Banshees – Dear Prudence (1983) The Beatles' ballad morphs in goth-tinged new wave.. Gov't Mule – She Said, She Said / Tomorrow Never Knows (1998) A jam-band fusion of two Beatles tracks Fiona Apple – Across the Universe (1998) Slowed to a languid pace, Apple leans into the cosmic melancholy
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 2019 conversation with Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson. ABOUT VALERIE SIMPSONSix-time Grammy nominee Valerie Simpson is best known as one half of the songwriting, production and performing duo of Ashford and Simpson, which she formed with musical partner and eventual husband Nick Ashford after they met at a church in Harlem, New York, in the early 1960s. After early successes with Aretha Franklin's recording of “Cry Like a Baby” and Ray Charles' recordings of “Let's Go Get Stoned” and “I Don't Need No Doctor,” Nick and Valerie signed with Motown Records, first as songwriters, where their early successes included the hit singles “Ain't No Mountain High Enough” and “Your Precious Love,” recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. They soon began both writing and producing for the duo, with hits such as “Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing,” “You're All I Need to Get By,” “Good Lovin' Ain't Easy to Come By,” and “What You Gave Me.” Additional writing and production credits at Motown came with hits by The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Miracles, Gladys Knight, and Diana Ross, who found success with “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)” “Remember Me,” “Surrender,” and a remake of “Ain't No Mountain High Enough” that topped both the pop and R&B charts. In addition to writing #1 hits such as Quincy Jones's “Stuff Like That” and Chaka Khan's “I'm Every Woman” after their Motown period, Ashford and Simpson began releasing their own recordings as a duo, landing nearly 40 songs on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Their list of Top 10 hits as artists, includes “It Seems to Hang On,” “Found a Cure,” “Love Don't Make it Right,” “Street Corner,” “Outta the World,” “Count Your Blessings,” “I'll Be There For You,” and “Solid.” Ashford and Simpson were the recipients of the ASCAP Founder's Award, which is the highest honor bestowed by the organization. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, named among Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time, and provided the inspiration for the establishment of the Soul Train Ashford & Simpson Songwriter's Award. Following Nick's untimely death in 2011, Valerie has continued to write, record, and even appear on Broadway in the acclaimed musical Chicago.

He had been receiving cancer treatment in recent months.Reid never had a hit on the UK charts, but albums such as 1973's River remain critically acclaimed, and he was held in such high esteem that he was courted by Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple to be those bands' lead singer, but turned each of them down. Aretha Franklin stated in 1968: “There are only three things happening in England: the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Terry Reid.”WIN OZZY AT 75 BOOK!!**How to Enter?

Though we couldn't gather the entire podcast staff, Robbie and Art still managed to produce an episode that should strike a chord with music-loving listeners. Following Robbie's recent visit to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and the iconic FAME Recording Studios, the two Guys take note of the incredible amount of musical talent that has recorded there. Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, Paul Simon, and Etta James are just a few of the artists who have made their way to Alabama and worked with the late Rick Hall, backed by the legendary "Swampers" studio musicians. Geeks of the week include Robbie's look at a role-playing game inspired by Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon—no word on if there's a slo-mo option.
Episode 83: Narada Michael Walden Part 2 At this point in the story, Narada has gone from a jazz fusion drummer with Mahavishnu Orchestra, to a major label solo artist with hits, to a Grammy-winning producer with Aretha Franklin. And now... Whitney Houston enters the picture. We kick off this episode with the moment Narada and Whitney's journey starts together. He gets a call from Arista A&R exec Jerry Griffith, who discovered Whitney, asking him to work with the unknown artist. Narada says yes and immediately produces "How Will I Know." The song becomes a number 1 hit. Then comes the call from Clive Davis asking for a follow-up. Narada delivers "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." The story continues. We also get into his work with a then unknown Mariah Carey, and wild stories from across his life, including how Narada introduced Jaco Pastorius to Weather Report, giving Jaco his big break!
