Oggi la puntata inizia con: Per te di Patty; Ah l’amore che cos’è di Orietta Berti; Haum dei Delirium; Io perchè, io per chi dei Profeti; Rock your babe di George McCrae; Il Padrino [...]

By Golly, it's Sounds Like Radio Volume 185 time as we celebrate Mrs. Potter's (better known as I Love Lucy's Mrs. Trumble) birthday on this Great Gildersleeve from December 3, 1952. That sneaky Egg Man has done it again and tricked Gildy into getting 2 ducks. Perfect for a Mrs. Potter birthday dinner. Your Humble Host enjoyed listening to this one and joining us today for Mrs. Potter's birthday are Burl Ives, Barbara Mandrell, Bing Crosby, Wanda Jackson (that's her in our picture with this show), Vaughn Monroe to head us out to the stores for Christmas shopping & Dinah Washington. Then we all get down with George McCrae for a little '70's style dancin'.

Efter mordet på Martin Luther King följde bitterhet och besvikelse, och en mer militant svart kamp. Det här påverkade både Betty Wrights musik och hennes liv. Hon tvingades dagligen kämpa mot fördomar och trakasserier. Betty stoppades på flygplatser då hon misstogs för att vara aktivisten Angela Davis. Låtarna blev mörkare och funkigare. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Trots att Betty fostrades för den hårdaste och mest svekfulla av branscher kom det som en dolkstöt när hon upptäckte en annan sida av fadersgestalten och TK Records grundaren Henry Stone. Allt stod inte rätt till på det framgångsrika bolaget som var banbrytande inom discosoul. Nu väntade sångerskans största utmaningar.I programmet intervjuas även George McCrae, Timmy Thomas, KC and The Sunshine Band, Steve Alaimo, Latimore, Jimmy Bo Horne och Clarence Reid (alias Blowfly).
Betty Wright blev med glödande röst och relationsdrama i låtform den klarast lysande stjärnan i ett framväxande skivimperium (TK), som bidrog till att förändra 70-talets musik. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Mats fann Betty i hennes stora villa gömd bland palmer i Miami. Kyrkoflickan som predikade feminism och njutning och utmanade rådande normer i en miljö där R&B, funk och gospel blandades med karibiska rytmer. Det handlar om en av de första soulkvinnorna som tog kontroll över sitt öde, och banade därmed väg för bland andra Beyonce(som samplade Bettys ”Girls can' t do what the guys do”). I programmet intervjuas också George McCrae, Timmy Thomas, KC and The Sunshine Band, Steve Alaimo, Latimore, Jimmy Bo Horne och Clarence Reid.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks; have any of Team Chart Music done a streak?It's late January, but the inflatable Jimmy Savile-as-Santa is still hanging off the roof of the Chart Music house and the wreath that looks like DLT still hangs on the door as we prepare to tuck into another end-of-year splurge of Pop, as our favourite Thursday evening pop treat gets shunted to a Friday teatime and another Selection Box of the hits of the year gets ripped into. ‘Tis the arse-end of 1974, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, and a definitely end-of-era feel hangs over this episode. Glam is in its last knockings, the teenybop icons are starting to fade, the brickies in Eyeliner are just brickies now, Mock n' Roll is in the ascendancy, the Pop Famine of 1975/6 is beckoning, and although there's much to love here, this could well be the very last episode of the Golden Age of Top Of The Pops. Noel Edmonds and Dave Lee Travis are on hand to take us through the smash hits of the year that weren't introduced by Tony Blackburn and Jinglenonce OBE on Xmas Day, and are fucking unbearable. Musicwise, like all end-of-year shows, it's your typical running-away-from-a-crocodile episode. The Rubettes pitch up for a victory lap with a flashing bow tie. John Denver goes on about his missus again, before he takes a chainsaw to their bed. Alvin displays the most amazing standwork ever on TOTP if you discount Brian Connolly breaking one over his knee, before George McCrae attempts to introduce the TOTP Orchestra to Disco as he stands over a leftover turkey carcass. Stephanie De Sykes represents the Kings Oak Massive, and then Sparks completely go off. The Glitter Band do a Nazi love gesture at Bad King Gary as he performs his great lost Number One. Sylvia tells a load of underaged Osmonds fans about how she got her end away in Spain this summer. Queen set down a marker for their dominance of the next few years. Ray Stevens fails to get his cock out. After Suzi Quatro says goodbye to the massive bluescreen, the most perfect #1 single EVER is desecrated by the TOTPO. Terry Jacks reminds us that he's still dying, and we close with the Blokes Of Pop taking over and claiming dominance of the year, while Travis plays a Christmas Tree. So long, Early Seventies, you were MINT and SKILL and we'll never see your like again.Taylor Parkes and Rock Expert David Stubbs join Al Needham for a celebration of all things '74, veering off on such tangents as blind West Ham left-backs, Noele Gordon's musical career, five year-olds demanding to be let into sex shops, the era-defining genius of Yus My Dear, disturbing scenes at Wombles gigs, a re-imagining of Do They Know It's Christmas written by Chinnichap, and the introduction of the parlour game that's going to sweep the dinner parties of 2023 – Pantomime Horse. HAPPY NEW SWEARING, POP-CREAZED YOUNGSTERS… Video Playlist | Subscribe | Facebook | Twitter | The Chart Music Wiki | Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
David Stubbs, Taylor Parkes and Al Needham begin their odyssey into the second part of TOTP's review of '74, but not before another few rounds of Pantomime Horse and having to deal with the rampaging egos of Noel Edmonds and The Living Gnasher Badge. The first #1 single that ever enraged Al is up first, then John Denver bangs on about his missus eight years before he ends up taking a chainsaw to their bed, followed by world-class mic-standsmanship by Alvin, and George McCrae gets into even more trouble with his missus as he emotes over a turkey carcass, and we don't.

In today's episode, Warren goes over the technicalities and backstory behind Abba's hit single "Dancing Queen". “Dancing Queen” was written by Benny and Björn, and manager Stig Anderson. They credit George McCrae's 1974 disco hit, “Rock Your Baby” as a major inspiration. Under the working title of “Boogaloo”, Benny played the instrumental track for his wife Frida who was brought to tears by the sound. She recalled: “Benny came home with a tape of the backing track and played it for me. I thought it was so enormously beautiful that I started to cry.” Subscribe to the email list and get yourself some free goodies: https://producelikeapro.com Want to create radio ready mixes from the comfort of your home?

Tout l'été à 18h, Cerrone choisit la musique et partage avec vous ses meilleures anecdotes.
Adel Tawil musste sein Sommer Open Air in Dresden mehrfach verschieben. Jetzt, nach 2 Jahren Wartens, kann er endlich sein Konzert nachholen und ist glücklich:”Endlich ist es wieder soweit. Ich freue mich wirklich riesig, weil das ist für mich auch sehr sehr traurig gewesen, dass wir das zweimal verschieben mussten. Einmal war schon doof, aber dass das letztes Jahr auch wieder nicht stattfinden konnte, weil da alle Veranstalter unsicher waren, dürfen wir spielen, dürfen wir nicht spielen, wieviele Leute dürfen kommen…… Jetzt ist es endlich so, dass wirs machen können und wir freuen uns alle sehr, dass wir endlich wieder auf Tour sind und die ganzen Konzerte nachholen können.” Das gilt auch für das Open Air in der Zwickauer Freilichtbühne. Adel hat auch schon wieder neue Musik im Kopf, dieses Jahr noch soll ein neues Album erscheinen. Und da ist er sich gegenüber streng wie nie. “Ich will bei jedem Lied dieses Gefühl haben, dass ich jede Zeile tief in mir spüre.” Mehr zum neuen Album verrät Adel Tawil im aktuellen Podcast “Axel Trifft”.

As broadcast January 13, 2022. Tonight with Danno and Lizz Kalo experiencing a bit of a bumpy ride on the health front with the winter bearing down in Gwangju, Danno flew solo in studio but with Mizz Kalo's sardonic selections leading the way as always. We went through the dynamic old school funk and soul that was coming out of Miami and labels like TK Records back in the day, and also got in some fresh faces like Hunjiya, Magic City Hippies, and Mustard Service amongst other worthy candidates during our two hour trip to South Florida in our minds.#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)Gwen McCrae – Rockin' ChairBetty Wright – Clean Up WomanMiami – Chicken YellowT-Connection – Do What You Wanna DoLittle Beaver – Party Down, Pt. 1Foxy – MadamoisellePart II (30:03)Robert Moore – Tears of the WorldLeno Phillips – ConfusionRobby Hunter Band – Never Say NoMagic City Hippies – HushAshiyushi – TravelsThe Spam All-Stars – Fiesta de los Feos Part III (57:04)Hunjiya – Lee Raquel Sofía - Tenemos HistoriaSam Stan - Plz Don't Pt2Mustard Service – Taking Up SpaceYoli Mayor – FireREMYZ - Sunshine Part IV (87:07)Twelve'Len – LoyalTimmy Thomas – Why Can't We Live TogetherMagic City Hippies – QueenMagic City Hippies – Fanfare Car The Garden – TreeZitten – Feel Alright

Zuerst war es eine Instrumentalnummer, doch die Produzenten wollen eine Vokal-Version - möglichst von einer Frau gesungen, wegen der hohen Töne. So begann die Story um «Rock Your Baby» von George McCrae, der damit die Disco-Welle in Gang brachte und auch nur dank einer Verwechslung.
George McCrae was part of a duo with his wife Gwen. But it wasn't until the record label split them into two separate acts that he (and later Gwen too!) struck gold with a worldwide smash that is one of the best-selling singles ever.

Hugo Egon Balder erzählt Geschichten und Anekdoten rund um einen Lieblingshit und seine Entstehung: "I can't leave you alone" von George McCrae. Von Hugo Egon Balder.
Efter mordet på Martin Luther King följde bitterhet och besvikelse, och en mer militant svart kamp. Det här påverkade både Betty Wrights musik och hennes liv. Hon tvingades dagligen kämpa mot fördomar och trakasserier. Betty stoppades på flygplatser då hon misstogs för att vara aktivisten Angela Davis. Låtarna blev mörkare och funkigare. Trots att Betty fostrades för den hårdaste och mest svekfulla av branscher kom det som något av en chock när hon upptäckte en annan sida av fadersgestalten och TK Records grundare Henry Stone. Allt stod inte rätt till på det framgångsrika bolaget som var banbrytande inom discosoul. Nu väntade sångerskans största utmaningar. I programmet intervjuas även George McCrae, Timmy Thomas, KC and The Sunshine Band, Steve Alaimo, Latimore, Jimmy Bo Horne och Clarence Reid (alias Blowfly).

Betty Wright blev med glödande röst och relationsdrama i låtform den klarast lysande stjärnan i ett framväxande skivimperium (TK), som bidrog till att förändra 70-talets musik. Mats fann Betty i hennes stora villa gömd bland palmer i Miami. Kyrkoflickan som predikade feminism och njutning och utmanade rådande normer i en miljö där R&B, funk och gospel blandades med karibiska rytmer. Det handlar om en av de första soulkvinnorna som tog kontroll över sitt öde, och banade därmed väg för bland andra Beyoncé (som samplade Bettys "Girls can't do what the guys do").

This week, Tom and Ben look into one of America’s most forgotten serial killers: the dangerously charming Paul John Knowles, more commonly known as The Casanova Killer...It's the night of July 26th, 1974 – George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby” tops the charts across the USA. Upbeat melodies fill the air and people embrace amidst the magic of Seventies America. Counterculture in full-swing and the “free-love” movement midway through its second decade, promiscuous adolescents pack the bars to the rafters. Music continues to flow as strangers engage, dancing and drinking the night away. With “newly-mets” leaving together, a lonely figure remains at the bar. Taking no notice in anything but the alcohol he consumes, he continues to lift his glass. Drink after drink, after drink. The bar now empty, it’s his time to leave. But he remains glued to the bar. Undeterred by the waitress’s requests, a bouncer approaches. A knife is plunged into the bouncer’s chest and the attacker tries to flee. Pinned down by the bouncer and assisting bar staff, the police are called in. They make the arrest of the drunken stranger and take him to his cell. In the early hours HOWEVER, and in a drunken daze, the stranger picks the lock to his cell and escapes into the Jacksonville night. Little did they know, this mysterious drunken escapee would that night go on to become The Casanova Killer…So, who is The Casanova Killer and why did he go on to take the lives of so many innocent people? How did he put each victim under his spell? What were his motivations behind his killing spree? How was he able to escape time after time? What did he do with his taped confessions? And how did he remain at large for so long?Tune in and all will be revealed!***Please kindly give the show a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you find us in your ears at the moment.

Efter mordet på Martin Luther King följde bitterhet och besvikelse, och en mer militant svart kamp. Det här påverkade både Betty Wrights musik och hennes liv. Hon tvingades dagligen kämpa mot fördomar och trakasserier. Betty stoppades på flygplatser då hon misstogs för att vara aktivisten Angela Davis. Låtarna blev mörkare och funkigare. Trots att Betty fostrades för den hårdaste och mest svekfulla av branscher kom det som något av en chock när hon upptäckte en annan sida av fadersgestalten och TK Records-grundaren Henry Stone. Allt stod inte rätt till på det framgångsrika bolaget som var banbrytande inom discosoul. Nu väntade sångerskans största utmaningar. I programmet intervjuas även George McCrae, Timmy Thomas, KC and The Sunshine Band, Steve Alaimo, Latimore, Jimmy Bo Horne och Clarence Reid (alias Blowfly).
Mats Nileskär serverar en klassisk soulsaga i två delar. Nyligen bortgångna Betty Wright blev med glödande röst och relationsdrama i låtform den klarast lysande stjärnan i ett framväxande skivimperium (TK), som bidrog till att förändra 70-talets musik. Mats fann Betty Wright i hennes stora villa gömd bland palmer i Miami. Kyrkoflickan som predikade feminism och njutning och utmanade rådande normer i en miljö där R&B, funk och gospel blandades med karibiska rytmer. Det handlar om en av de första soulkvinnorna som tog kontroll över sitt öde, och banade därmed väg för bland andra Beyoncé (som samplade Bettys "Girls can't do what the guys do").

Having sold 11 million copies, it is one of fewer than 40 all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) physical copies worldwide. George is still performing, he’s also back in the studio recording his next album, yet still had time for a chat and here he recalls his long and glittering musical career

Harry Wayne Casey und Richard Finch waren wahre Hitlieferanten, mit ihrem Song "Rock Your Baby" hatten sie besonders großen Erfolg. Weltberühmt wurde er durch die Stimme von George McCrae. Die Melodie war innerhalb von 45 Minuten im Kasten, genau wie der Text. Autor: Thomas Steinberg.
It almost didn't happen for George McCrae. In fact, the whole thing was a total fluke. He and his wife Gwen sang back up on recording sessions around Miami with his focus more on managing her career than pursuing his own. But when Harry Wayne Casey wrote a new song that was too high for his register, he asked George, who happened to be around, if he would sing it. That song, 1975's "Rock Your Baby", went on to be one of the biggest selling singles of all time, selling at least 11 million copies, and went #1 all over the world. Success like that is almost impossible to replicate, and George was no different. He continued in music for years, even singing back up on a Bill Wyman solo record, but nothing else took off. He even went back to working normal, blue collar jobs. Thankfully, Europe re-embraced Disco eventually so he moved there and is performing to enraptured audiences.

There are many accounts about the rise of Disco bubbling up from as late as the 60's. Frankly, I won't go back that far because it really wasn't on people's radar until around 1973-74. Many soul artists were picking up on the faster rhythmic beats and had massive success with songs like "Armed and Extremely Dangerous" by First Choice, "The Love I Lost" by Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes, "You're The First, the Last, My Everything" by Barry White, "Doctor's Orders" by Carol Douglas, "Get Dancin'" by Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes, "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrae, "Never Can Say Goodbye" by Gloria Gaynor, "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation, and many more. By 1975-76, the disco sound moved from the underground clubs and minor radio hits to mainstream radio and number one hits like "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" by Barry White, "The Hustle" by Van McCoy & The Soul City Orchestra, "Love To Love You, Baby" by Donna Summer, "Movin'" by Brass Construction, "Brazil" by The Ritchie Family, "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate, "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry, and even "Fame" by David Bowie. By 1977, all bets were off and Disco had made the final leap from the underground to mainstream domination and it only got more popular from there for the rest of the 70's into the early 80's before the backlash began. The first 12" extended play single goes to "Love To Love You, Baby" by Donna Summer. After Giorgio Moroder had played the single at a party, people began requesting it over and over. He soon came to the notion of creating a much longer version that people could enjoy in the clubs, which gave birth to 15 minutes of orgasmic perfection with Donna's sultry vocals. Technically, there were other earlier long plays but this track is wildly credited for making them more mainstream. If you lived in New York, Studio 54 was the place to be for anybody that was somebody. All the "A" list stars showed up to see and be seen. Grace Jones, Cher, Debbie Harry and many more were regular fixtures at the club. For those that couldn't get into 54, Paradise Garage and The Loft were the go-to spots for the anything-goes openly gay experience and played many notable underground tracks that never made it to radio. This era of the late 70's and early 80's is notable for its excesses. Drugs, open sex, and basically an anything-goes attitude, gave way to the AIDS epidemic of the early 80's. You cannot exactly discount the connection between the two. Nevertheless, it was a time of carefree expression when people wanted to escape the realities of high inflation, high gas prices, and a staggering economy of the post-Nixon-Watergate era. I've often dreamt about growing up during this period but even I admit to my own personal excesses during the 80's and 90's and would likely be dead today had I grown up during the disco revolution. Regardless, you just can't escape the amazing music that came out of this period, which is the basis for everything that has succeeded it. Whether it was House Music, NRG, Techno, Trance, and on down the line, Disco and all its glorious variants are what started it all and is the main reason it's so heavily sampled in today's music. For all its lack of social values and hedonistic tendencies, I adore Disco. While I am a massive fan of ALL music for my many moods, Disco is the only one I always gravitate towards when I need a pick-me-up. It's like a good friend that I can always rely on to make me happy. I hope everyone is enjoying these sets as much as I am putting them all together for you. I've already got volume 6 in the can and then need to start working on the fast beats, which will likely be the final set. Since I'm running behind in my schedule, I'll likely drop the next volume on Friday. Until then...ENJOY!

Dr. Funkenstein, a.k.a, Star Child: Singer, songwriter, bandleader, and record producer. Born in Kannapolis, NC, he grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey. Clinton became interested in doo wop during the early ’50s. Basing his group on Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, Clinton formed The Parliaments in 1955, rehearsing in the back room of a Plainfield barbershop where he straightened hair. The Parliaments released only two singles during the next ten years, but frequent trips to Detroit during the mid-’60s – where Clinton began working as a songwriter and producer – eventually paid off their investment. The Parliaments finally had a hit with the 1967 single “(I Wanna) Testify”. But his label ran out of money and George refused to record any new material. When the label was bought out by Atlantic, Clinton decided to abandon the Parliaments name rather than record for the major label and record the same band under a new name: Funkadelic. (In 1970 he regained the rights to The Parliaments name) Inspired by Motown ‘s assembly line of sound, He gradually put together a collective of over 50 musicians and recorded during the ’70s both as Parliament and Funkadelic. While Funkadelic pursued band-format psychedelic rock, Parliament engaged in a funk free-for-all, blending influences from the godfathers (James Brown and Sly Stone) with freaky costumes and themes inspired by ’60s acid culture and science fiction. He is regarded, along with James Brown and Sly Stone, as one of the foremost innovators of funk music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, alongside 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. Key Artist Kool & the Gang, "Best Band Ever!?!?" Formed in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1964 by brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell. They have explored many musical styles: jazz, soul, funk, rock, and pop music. After three albums, the band had commercial success with Wild and Peaceful (1973) which contained the US top ten singles "Jungle Boogie" and "Hollywood Swinging". They reached a commercial peak between 1979 and 1986 following their partnership with Brazilian musician Eumir Deodato and the addition of singer James "J.T." Taylor to the line-up. Their most successful albums of this period include Ladies' Night (1979), Celebrate! (1980), and Emergency (1984), and the hit singles "Ladies' Night", "Celebration", "Get Down on It", "Joanna", and "Cherish". The band continues to perform to this day. Open Comments: Question: What makes a track funky? Movie Scene - Royal Black Hollywood Strikes Back Both movies were deliberate attempts to counter the Blaxploitation movement. Claudine - "The Poverty Technician" (Plot) The film tells the story of Claudine Price (Diahann Carroll), a single Black Harlem mother, living on welfare with six children, who finds love with a garbage collector, Rupert Marshall (James Earl Jones), whom she calls "Roop". The pair's relationship becomes complicated because of several factors. Among these are that the couple do not want to marry because they would not be able to support the children without welfare, and that the kids themselves, particularly eldest son Charles (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs), are apprehensive of Rupert, and believe that he will leave their mother just like her previous husbands had. Claudine and Rupert meet while both are at work. Rupert asks Claudine out on a date with him and Claudine accepts. When Rupert becomes invited inside Claudine's apartment, the children are rude and vulgar towards Rupert. This is also the first time the audience meets the children and sees the inside of Claudine's slum-like apartment. Later, in the film, the audience finds out that Claudine receives financial aid from the government through the welfare program. Throughout the film, Miss Kabak, the social worker, visits Claudine at her home and asks her if she is employed and if she is dating anyone. Claudine always denies Miss Kabak the truth and lies to her about being unemployed and single. If Claudine tells the truth and says that she is employed, the amount of financial aid she receives from the welfare program would decrease or she could also no longer receive any more financial aid. If Claudine dates anyone and receives gifts from her boyfriend, the social worker must deduct any money or gifts Claudine is receiving from whomever she is dating. Just before he is to announce his engagement to Claudine to the kids, Rupert is served papers for a court order relating to underpayment of child support of his own children; his work wages are garnished to pay the difference. Rupert becomes so upset about this that he disappears for a couple of days and loses contact with everyone. He moves out of his apartment, does not show up to work, and does not show up to the Father's Day celebration the children had prepared for him. Charles eventually finds him drunk at a bar and angrily confronts him. Charles is angry at Rupert because he left his mother without any explanation. Out of the anger Charles felt for Rupert, he engages in a physical fight with him. After the incident at the bar, Rupert eventually shows up outside of Claudine's apartment and speaks to her. After some time, the couple talk things over and make up. After several hardships and debating over whether they should marry because of financial issues relating to welfare, the couple decide to marry. They hold a wedding ceremony, but it is interrupted when Charles runs inside the apartment in the middle of the ceremony while the police are chasing after him. The couple and the rest of the children run after Charles, leave the ceremony, and board the police wagon. The film ends on a cheery note with the entire family, along with Rupert, walking happily hand in hand through the neighborhood. Question: Should welfare be (a) reformed or (b) avoided? What would a or b look like? Conclusion: Regardless of the message, Gladys' music was on hit (3rd #1 R&B LP) and Diahann Carroll was great, she was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards in 1975. Uptown Saturday Night - "The Good Guys (Sidney & Bill) Get Over" (Plot) While enjoying themselves at Madame Zenobia's club on Saturday Night, Steve Jackson (Poitier) and Wardell Franklin (Cosby) are held up by robbers who raid the club, taking Steve's wallet as a result. Upon realizing that a winning lottery ticket worth $50,000 is in the wallet, they set out to find the crooks themselves. Determined to retrieve the ticket, they search for it using the help of gangster Geechie Dan Beauford (Belafonte), who wants to defeat his rival Silky Slim (Lockhart). Using their wit, perseverance, and fearlessness, Steve and Wardell devise a plan to get the ticket using the help of both gangsters, in the hopes that it will pay off for them. Question: Is this truly anti-Blaxploitation or just another version? Television Scene - A Tale of 2 Black Families That's My Mama, "Warm and Fuzzy" (1 season, 1974-75) (Plot) Set in a middle-class African American neighborhood in Washington, D.C., the program revolved around the character Clifton Curtis (played by Clifton Davis), a man in his mid-20s who worked as a barber at Oscar's Barber Shop, the family barber shop he had inherited from his late father. While Clifton enjoyed being a bachelor, his loving, but tart-tongued and opinionated mother Eloise "Mama" Curtis, played by Theresa Merritt, wanted him to settle down and find a nice wife. Additional characters – such as Clifton's two best friends—Earl, played by Teddy Wilson, an easy-going mailman and Junior, played by Ted Lange, a suave and good-humored ladies' man—came and went over the course of a typical day at Oscar's Barber Shop. Other characters included Tracy, Clifton's little sister, played by Lynne Moody and later by Joan Pringle and her husband, Leonard, played by Lisle Wilson, as well as local seniors Josh and Wildcat, played by DeForest Covan and Jester Hairston. Clifton Davis and Hairston would work together again years later in the hit sitcom, Amen. Conclusion: Never a ratings success. Good Times, "Classic" (6 seasons, 1974-1979) (Plot) Florida and James Evans live in a Chicago housing project and have three children: James Jr., also known as "J.J."; Thelma; and Michael, called "the militant midget" by his father due to his passionate activism. When the series begins, J.J. is seventeen years old, Thelma is sixteen, and Michael is eleven. Their exuberant neighbor, and Florida's best friend, is Willona Woods, a recent divorcée who works at a boutique. Their building superintendent is Nathan Bookman. The characters originated on the sitcom Maude. Episodes deal with the characters' attempts to overcome poverty. GT was intended to be a good show for Esther Rolle and John Amos. Both expected the show to deal with serious topics in a comedic way while providing positive characters. However, J.J. became the breakout character. As a result, the writers focused more on J.J.'s comedic antics instead of serious issues. Through seasons two and three, Rolle and Amos grew increasingly disillusioned with the direction of the show. Rolle was vocal about it: "He's 18 and he doesn't work. He can't read or write. He doesn't think. The show didn't start out to be that...Little by little—with the help of the artist, I suppose, because they couldn't do that to me—they have made J.J. more stupid and enlarged the role. Negative images have been slipped in on us through the character of the oldest child." Jimmie Walker was the only cast member to not show at Rolle's funeral. Amos also spoke out: "The writers would prefer to put a chicken hat on J.J. and have him prance around saying "DY-NO-MITE", and that way they could waste a few minutes and not have to write meaningful dialogue." Amos was ultimately fired after just 3 seasons. [Audio Clip] Open Comments: Question: Did/do you know anyone in real life like J.J.? Conclusion: They didn't recast James Evans, they just killed him off and Esther was playing a single mom after all. She quit after season 4. Vote, Biggest Impact for 1974:
Im Juli 1979 versammeln sich 60.000 Menschen in einem Chicagoer Baseball Stadion um Schallplatten in die Luft zu sprengen. Die Opfer: Die BeeGees, George McCrae, Karl Douglas und die Village People. Kurz: Die Disco-Bewegung. Die Sprengmeister werden angeführt von einem bekannten Rock DJ. Das Spektakel Rock gegen Disco ist auch ein Stellvertreter-Schauplatz für einen tieferen Konflikt: Weiß gegen Schwarz. Die "Disco Demolition Night" ist eines der skurrilsten Kapitel unserer Geschichte. Die Wiener Band "At Pavillon" hat heute einen ihrer Hits danach benannt. Weil sie warnen wollen. "Some still believe appearance causes danger" Die vier (Wahl-)Wiener in ihren bunten Blumenhemden mit ihren funkigen Beats und freundlichen Texten sind ein Statement 'Dort wo wir sind, gibt es keinen Rassismus', spricht jede Blüte, jedes Riff, jeder Chorus. Jetzt wollen sie diese Message ganz groß rausbringen. Unter einem neuen Management, unter ihrem ersten Label. Allerdings: Schon im ersten Video zu ihrem neuen Hit "All eyes on You" haben sie ihre bunten Blumenhemden gegen weiße Rollkragenpullover getauscht. Ein Tausch: Erfolg gegen Message? Wir haken nach bei Mwita Mataro und Bernhard Melchart von At Pavillon bei #Vienna! Außerdem: Temperaturen über 26 Grad, die Badesaison startet und die besten Eisdielen haben geöffnet.

The Sunshine Band - Black Water Gold Simple DJ Edit By Petko Turner https://hypeddit.com/track/lflb3v The seeds of KC & The Sunshine Band were planted when two South Florida boys, Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch met while working at the attic studio of T.K. Records, above the warehouse of Tones Distributors. Rick had worked his way up to assisting producers, while Harry's duties included processing returns and boxing up records, and sometimes playing keyboards in recording sessions. It was Casey’s idea for him and Finch to pool their skills. "Everybody else had a team together already", says Rick. "He found out I played bass and drums, and I found out he played keyboards, and when the studio was empty in the evenings, we would go up there and find out what kind of music would happen. A lot of people would throw tape away because they couldn’t figure out how to make the machine erase properly, Rick recalls. It was expensive, so I would take it out of the trash can, wind it up on the reel, clean it up, and use that for recording". Not only were the boys thrifty, but, thanks to the sessions they had already played in the studio, they were also fast. It didn’t take much experimenting for the two to get their own eclectic sound together. KC & The Sunshine Band released two singles from their first album, "Do It Good" and hit the R&B charts when "Blow Your Whistle" went to #27 in the fall of ’73 and "Sound Your Funky Horn" made it to #21 in early ’74. The first real sign that the Casey/Finch sound was really clicking came in September of 1974, when "Queen Of Clubs" reached the U.K. Top 10, and the Sunshine Band was in demand for live gigs all around the country. This was good news, of course. But the best news was yet to come courtesy of one George McCrae and a song he wrote called "Rock Your Baby". As studio musicians, Casey and Finch recorded the rhythm track in just 45 minutes, with just one additional player, Jerome Smith, on guitar. Company brass, Henry Stone and Steve Alaimo felt the song had potential and offered it to Gwen McCrae, who passed on it. Then, George McCrae, who happened into the studio, heard the instrumental and in a mere two takes, put down his own vocals. The song was released, and George McCrae had a number one hit on his hands.

Disco is a genre of music that was popular in the 1970s, though it has since enjoyed brief resurgences including the present day.[10] The term is derived from discothèque (French for "library of phonograph records", but subsequently used as proper name for nightclubs in Paris[11]). Its initial audiences were club-goers from the African American, GLBTQ,[nb 1] Italian American, Latino, and psychedelic communities in New York City and Philadelphia during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Disco also was a reaction against both the domination of rock music and the stigmatization of dance music by the counterculture during this period. Women embraced disco as well, and the music eventually expanded to several other popular groups of the time.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] In what is considered a forerunner to disco-style clubs, New York City DJ David Mancuso opened The Loft, a members-only private dance club set in his own home, in February 1970.[20][21] AllMusic claims some have argued that Isaac Hayes and Barry White were playing what would be called disco music as early as 1971. According to the music guide, there is disagreement as to what the first disco song was. Claims have been made for Manu Dibango's "Soul Makossa" (1972), Jerry Butler's "One Night Affair" (1972), the O'Jays' "Love Train" (1972, #1 hit), the Hues Corporation's "Rock the Boat" (1973), and George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby" (1974).[6][22] The first article about disco was written in September 1973 by Vince Aletti for Rolling Stone magazine.[23] In 1974 New York City's WPIX-FM premiered the first disco radio show.[21] Musical influences include funk, Latin, psychedelic and soul music. The disco sound has soaring, often reverberated vocals over a steady "four-on-the-floor" beat, an eighth note (quaver) or 16th note (semi-quaver) hi-hat pattern with an open hi-hat on the off-beat, and a prominent, syncopated electric bass line sometimes consisting of octaves. The Fender Jazz Bass is often associated with disco bass lines, because the instrument itself has a very prominent "voice" in the musical mix. In most disco tracks, strings, horns, electric pianos, and electric guitars create a lush background sound. Orchestral instruments such as the flute are often used for solo melodies, and lead guitar is less frequently used in disco than in rock. Many disco songs employ the use of electronic instruments such as synthesizers. Well-known late 1970s disco performers included ABBA, Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Trammps, Van McCoy, Gloria Gaynor, The Village People, Chic, and The Jacksons—the latter of whom first dipped their toes into disco as The Jackson 5. Summer would become the first well-known and most popular disco artist—eventually having the title "The Queen of Disco" bestowed upon her by various critics—and would also play a part in pioneering the electronic sound that later became a prominent element of disco. While performers and singers garnered the lion's share of public attention, producers working behind the scenes played an equal, if not more important role in disco, since they often wrote the songs and created the innovative sounds and production techniques that were part of the "disco sound."[24] Many non-disco artists recorded disco songs at the height of disco's popularity, and films such as Saturday Night Fever and Thank God It's Friday contributed to disco's rise in mainstream popularity. Disco was the last mass popular music movement that was driven by the baby boom generation.[25] Disco music was a worldwide phenomenon, but its popularity declined in the United States in the late 1970s. On July 12, 1979, an anti-disco protest in Chicago called "Disco Demolition Night" had shown that an angry backlash against disco and its culture had emerged in the United States. In the subsequent months and years, many musical acts associated with disco struggled to get airplay on the radio. A few artists still managed to score disco hits in the early 1980s, but the term "disco" became unfashionable in the new decade and was eventually replaced by "dance music", "dance pop", and other identifiers. Although the production techniques have changed, many successful acts since the 1970s have retained the basic disco beat and mentality, and dance clubs have remained popular.[22] A disco revival was seen in 2013, as disco-styled songs by artists like Daft Punk (with Nile Rodgers), Justin Timberlake, Breakbot, Bruno Mars and Robin Thicke filled the pop charts in the UK and the US.[10][26] FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM & TWITTER @DJTOUCHTONE LIKE MY PAGE ON FACEBOOK: DJ TOUCH TONE GOOGLE+ ME: TOUCH TONE MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL: TOUCHTONEREMIXES EMAIL ME FOR GIGS: INFO@DJTOUCHTONE.ORG CALL FOR BOOKINGS: (516) 855-7349
BIO DJ Soulswede "He has looked Robert "Kool" Bell (Kool & The Gang) straight in the eye! He dared to ask him why they have been faking the funk in recent years. He has sat in a car with Mitch McDowell from General Kane, discussing at length the problems of crack in the young Afro-American community. He also spoke with Mitch about his passion for p-funk. He has hooked up with old school hiphoppers The Jungle Brothers at a noisy airport. He’s even given Patti Austin a huge hug in Copenhagen. He has met Chicago housers Full House and Daryll Pandy during the period when four channel mixers were the only studio equipment needed for house music." Born in 1967 and raised in southern Sweden. At the age of 8, he asked his parents for the new George McCrae single “Rock You Baby". There was something special here with a soulful voice on top of a melodic soulful groove. He then began to explore his fathers' vinyl collection. The favorites came from Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder. In 1980 he bought his own first album, “Secret Combination? by Randy Crawford. His father is a musician and has been playing organs in churches almost all his life. Maybe there is a connection. In the mid 80’s he discovered local radio stations, which were a rather new phenomena back then. But he did not appreciate the music they were playing. One day he asked one of the stations if he could run a show playing soul music and "Soul Power Radio" was born. Later "Soul Food Radio". He was doing a one hour weekly show playing soul and funk music only. The response was not overwhelming. Soul music was not the most played genre back then. He was even threatened on one of his live shows and was actually haunted by people for playing black music on the radio. He had to leave the studio through a backdoor for a period of time. During that time he also did some freelance work for The Swedish National Radio. He interviewed Robert “Kool? Bell and Dennis “DT? Thomas of Kool & The Gang. He also did his “own? interviews with artists such as Tyrone Davis, BeBe & CeCe Winans and Mitch McDowell of General Kane. It was not always an easy thing to do interviews at a young age of around 20. But the artists respected him for his big knowledge and deep love for the music. In 1991 he moved abroad to work in Spain for a couple of years, following this time he moved to Stockholm for a period. He lost close contact with the music for a couple of years during the 90’s, and is now trying to catch up with the music missing on his soulful map for that decade. Over the years he has been playing everything from raw, naked and “uncensored? hiphop to quiet storm, smooth jazz, soulful house, deep soul, and hardcore funk. But his heart is in the deeper school of soulful music. It “must? contain a strong melody. He always comes back to the fact that soul music must reflect the person behind it. It’s all about credibility.
