Podcast appearances and mentions of The Clark Sisters

Send us a textEpisode 135 of the podcast features James ‘PJ' Spraggins, a multifaceted musician and entrepreneur, who shares his journey with host Troy Saunders.The podcast begins with a nostalgic trip down memory lane as PJ recounts his early musical influences. The Clark Sisters' “You Brought The Sunshine” captivated him, and fate intervened when he had the privilege of performing with them both individually and as a group. Church and its music played a significant role in shaping PJ's upbringing, particularly igniting his passion for playing the drums.PJ's enthusiasm for the drums led him to play in various bands during his freshman year at Alabama State University. Soon after, he embarked on a creative journey, writing and producing his own projects. Troy introduces the audience to the title track from PJ's debut album, “Light Of Day,” followed by “Nocturnal Drive,” showcasing his versatility as a musician, as he plays both drums and keyboards on this album.PJ shares a humorous anecdote about the genesis of his song “Come to Jesus” from his subsequent album, “Pure Logic.” He then delves into his remarkable journey into mainstream music, collaborating with legendary artists like Stevie Wonder, Peabo Bryson, Frank McComb, Jeff Bradshaw, and many more. This experience led Troy to feature PJ and Frank's collaboration, “70 X 7,” from PJ's 2015 album, “Time to Heal.”The conversation then shifts to PJ's latest singles, “Move to the Groove” and “High Five.” Troy also takes listeners back to PJ's 2023 album, “Stick It Out,” and provides a sample of “Bounce Back.” Throughout the discussion, PJ shares captivating stories behind each song, making the conversation an enriching blend of music and conversation.Listen and subscribe to the BAAS Entertainment Podcast via the BAAS Entertainment website, www.baasentertainment.com, and all podcast platforms.

When Sunday Comes: Gospel Music in the Soul and Hip-Hop Eras (Music in American Life) https://www.amazon.com/When-Sunday-Comes-Hip-Hop-American/dp/0252085477 Gospel music evolved in often surprising directions during the post-Civil Rights era. Claudrena N. Harold's in-depth look at late-century gospel focuses on musicians like Yolanda Adams, Andraé Crouch, the Clark Sisters, Al Green, Take 6, and the Winans, and on the network of black record shops, churches, and businesses that nurtured the music. Harold details the creative shifts, sonic innovations, theological tensions, and political assertions that transformed the music, and revisits the debates within the community over groundbreaking recordings and gospel's incorporation of rhythm and blues, funk, hip-hop, and other popular forms. At the same time, she details how sociopolitical and cultural developments like the Black Power Movement and the emergence of the Christian Right shaped both the art and attitudes of African American performers. Weaving insightful analysis into a collective biography of gospel icons, When Sunday Comes explores the music's essential place as an outlet for African Americans to express their spiritual and cultural selves.

I want to give a special thanks to previous podcast guest Del Lyren for introducing me to our guest today, Vinnie Ciesielski. Vinnie is a longtime stalwart of the Nashville music scene. His playing can be heard on countless recordings, commercials, soundtracks, symphony concerts, and the list goes on and on.Vinnie is also founder of a group called Vinnie And the Hitmen, of whom you can hear some samples on his website.In this episode, Vinnie talked a good deal about his founding origins as a trumpeter, and has some poignant insights into the importance of pop music, even for those of us who maybe have a tendency to thumb our noses at it while salivating over the likes of Mahler and Strauss.You've got be able to put food on the table at the end of the day, and sometimes mastering the art of pop music is what is necessary if you expect to put some of that food on the table with your musical skills.Our time went by so fast, which meant as usual we were just warming up to each other by the time we had to part ways. So we went ahead and scheduled another recording session! This Part 1 is great in many respects, and Part 2 is great as well, and deeply personal. So I highly recommend you listen to that one as well. Probably best to listen to them in order as you get to hear host and guest establish rapport before diving deep into the "why" of doing music, and how it relates to the deep needs within all of us.That's all I'll share about Part 2, for now enjoy Part 1!What you'll hear in this episode:-Ciesielski is spelled how it sounds...06:00-How to find your way into a local scene, and play what you really want to play...11:30-Vinnie's founding origins as a trumpeter...16:15-Good days and great days...19:00-A solid foundation on the mental element of trumpet playing...23:00-Pop music pays the bills...30:00-What we call "classical" music was at one time "pop" music...33:00-Why do we thumb our noses at "pop" music?...38:45-Movie soundtracks and classical music finding its niche in modern culture...42:00-The need for a pleasing personality in keeping the gig...48:00-There are no bad days; there are only good days and great days...53:00-Plus whatever your discerning ears deem worthy of your time and interest...Resources mentioned:Check out James Newcomb's new book: PinPoint PersuasionVinnie's websiteTrumpet Dynamics podcast with Paul Baron and Bobby MedinaTrumpet DiagnosticsAbout the Guest:Attending Towson University in Maryland, Vinnie Ciesielski majored in music performance on trumpet, which he has played professionally for over 50 years.Since coming to Nashville in 1992, Vinnie has played on thousands of recordings with artists such as Lyle Lovett, Travis Tritt, Tracy Byrd, Smokey Norful, Tanya Tucker, Glenn Frey, T.D.

Welcome to Part 2 of my interview with Vinnie Ciesielski!Before I say anything else, let me point out that the link I share to access the show notes during the episode is incorrect. The show notes for this episode are https://trumpetdynamics.com/trumpetvinnie2. I believe I left out the number 2 during the interview because I initially planned to have this be one giant episode, but wisely chose to break it into two parts.And what a part this is.

I'm here to remind you that whatever you want out of life, you can have it. I just need you to claim it. Right here. Right now. Now, this is nothing new. If you're a believer of the scripture you may have heard once or twice that, "Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened unto you." That's Matthew 7:7. Now, why should that be any different when it comes to you living your life? Huh? You know, I was taking a listen to the track "Name It Claim It" by The Clark Sisters and in it they belt out, "Just name it and claim it. It's yours, it's yours. Yours for the asking. Yours, it's your blessing." Are you ready to grab your blessing? Because it has your name on it. It has been distinctly designed for you. I can tell you this because I've lived to see mine. I've lived to receive mine. I've lived to breathe mine. And there's no reason why you can't have yours. You just got to "name it and claim it." Remember, it's yours for the asking. Alright, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know what I'm talking about.  You're at a birthday party.  You're almost finished singing.  And on the very last line, for effect, your sister breaks into soprano and your mama hits that tenor - for something undeniable… Family Harmony “Haaaappy birthday to youuuu!” Poof. In a 3-part harmony, you are transported to childhood on a vocal carpet ride. It is the ohm in your bloodline - a vibration and evolutionary fine tuning.  There is nothing… And I mean nothing, more beautiful to the human ear as families singing together.  “It was the most mysterious thing I'd ever heard... I'd think about them even at my school desk...Mavis Staples looked to be about the same age as me in her picture on the cover.” Bob Dylan knew it. He used it. Black family spirit. He went on to be called the greatest songwriter in history. If only they gave royalties for magic.  Which brings us to today's show.   The Royal Families of Gospel… We'll focus on The Clark Sisters and The Winans, but we will celebrate so many others with fun name games, Twitter trivia, and praise dance choreography for the streets.

Just because you're not someone's cup of tea doesn't mean you aren't a cup of tea. In this episode of VOICES' Where Ya From? podcast, award-winning gospel singer Kierra Sheard-Kelly shares her journey from condemnation to body positivity, as well as her passion for spiritual self-care and living boldly in faith. Guest Bio: Kierra Sheard-Kelly is an award-winning gospel singer, songwriter, actress, author, and activist. A next-generation member of the pioneering vocal group the Clark Sisters, she has released several albums since her solo debut in 2004, most recently the Grammy-nominated KIERRA. Her first book, Big, Bold, and Beautiful: Owning the Woman God Made You to Be, debuted in 2021. Kierra has also created her own clothing line entitled Eleven60, works with organizations dedicated to youth and female empowerment, and is completing her master's degree in clinical psychology. She and her husband reside in Detroit, Michigan. Notes & Quotes: “Conviction points to the problem, but it gives you a solution. Condemnation only points to the problem and makes you go crazy.” “The Lord wants you to have answers. He says, ‘Where you are weak, I am strong.'” “I just want to say to be big, bold, and beautiful and owning the woman or the man that God has called you to be. It is simply you just resting in that liberty that heaven gives you, and that He authorizes you with.” Links Mentioned: Visit our website to sign up for emails: whereyafrom.org Leave us a review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/where-ya-from-podcast/id1581145346 Check out our Voices Collection from Our Daily Bread Ministries Follow Where Ya From? on Instagram: @whereyafrompodcast Kierra Sheard-Kelly's website: https://www.iamkierrasheard.com/ Verses Mentioned: “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV) “That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.
