On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the idea that “Everything old is new again” and why that feels especially true for me as we head into 2026.I share where this phrase originally comes from and how it still shows up all around us, from old-fashioned baby names and vinyl records - to the way trends, styles, and even problems seem to circle back to current times but with a fresh twist.I explore how revisiting the past with new eyes, context, and appreciation can be such a powerful source of inspiration, creativity, and healing.I also let you in on something new-old in my own life that I'm wicked excited about… I'm returning to having my own space again in Concord, New Hampshire! YAY!After years of focusing more on Spiritual Mentoring and Integrative Coaching, I'm boomeranging back in an even bigger way to my longtime roots in Yoga and Thai Yoga bodywork / Assisted Stretching.I talk about how good it feels to create a warm, welcoming space again and to reconnect with the practices that have sustained me for decades - only now with deeper awareness, devotion, and purpose. From there, I dive into rituals, lineage, and devotion, (and share a story about my Nana) and how those old ways are a part of what I'm longing for more of now: slowness, intention, safety, and human connection - in a world that's so busy-pants fast, digital, and often disconnected.I name what I'm craving (and what I suspect a lot of us are craving) heading into the new year: small, cozy rooms, micro-communities, calm, authentic leadership, embodiment over performance, and spaces where people know your name.

In this episode of Conversing Over Drinks, Cedric sits down with Nathan Williams to share a powerful story of love, resilience, and survival. At just 32 years old, Nathan was diagnosed with end-stage congestive heart failure after experiencing unexpected symptoms during an ordinary day—news that changed his life and his marriage overnight.Nathan opens up about the shock of hearing he would need a heart transplant, the emotional toll of the diagnosis, and the day-to-day challenges of navigating serious illness. He and his wife, Crystal, reflect on how faith, mental strength, and unwavering support helped them endure their darkest moments and grow closer through the process.The conversation also highlights the importance of preparation, including how a Living Benefits life policy provided crucial financial relief and peace of mind during a medical crisis. This episode is a reminder to take your health seriously, prepare for the unexpected, and hold tight to hope—even when the road ahead feels uncertain.

Zen Fidget Board… Ambience — As of late I've been hoping to create an audio space that has several things going on at once (that behave, hopefully). I see this space as a listener drifting into a Matrix-ish Construct room (load room), yet instead of rushing racks of rifles or Morpheus alongside a small-market TV executive's desk, we drift inside the gelatinous mass of a lesser-defined composition of sounds.I usually have better sleep success with envelopes of sound that have smaller things going on. And as the episode title and cover implies, there are several things in here to follow while the envelope takes over.My favorite episode for this is the basketball episode—I love the engulfing fans with the small bounces and squeaks of play. I should make that episode longer, as I'm waking up in the test-taking episode that stresses me out (I went to Military School). Some folks like dry sounds—I won't knock it.Also give us a follow on your pod-player!

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Heartbeats of Hope: Elsa's Courageous Journey to New Beginnings Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-11-18-23-34-01-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Solens varma strålar sken in genom de stora fönstren i den moderna sjukhussalen.En: The sun's warm rays shone in through the large windows of the modern hospital room.Sv: Utanför kunde man se höstens färgade löv fladdrande i vinden.En: Outside, one could see the fall's colored leaves fluttering in the wind.Sv: Elsa satt på sängkanten och stirrade ut med en blandning av oro och beslutsamhet i blicken.En: Elsa sat on the edge of the bed, staring out with a mix of worry and determination in her eyes.Sv: Magnus, hennes storebror, stod bredvid, hans närvaro en stadig pelare i den storm av känslor hon kände.En: Magnus, her older brother, stood beside her, his presence a steady pillar in the storm of emotions she felt.Sv: Sjukhuset i Stockholms förort kändes minst sagt bekant.En: The hospital in the suburb of Stockholm felt all too familiar.Sv: Här hade Elsa varit flera gånger för att träffa sin läkare.En: Elsa had been here several times to meet her doctor.Sv: Den kommande hjärtoperationen skulle kanske vara nyckeln till ett nytt kapitel för henne.En: The upcoming heart surgery might be the key to a new chapter for her.Sv: Trots detta kunde inte den lilla rädslan försvinna.En: Despite this, the small fear couldn't vanish.Sv: Minnet av tidigare sjukbesök skakade om henne, men längtan efter att delta i välgörenhetsmaratonen skötte på henne att fortsätta.En: The memory of previous medical visits shook her, but the longing to participate in the charity marathon drove her to continue.Sv: Hon ville känna hjärtat dansa av energi, inte skräck.En: She wanted to feel her heart dance with energy, not fear.Sv: ”Elsa, du klarar det här,” sa Magnus med en trygg röst, vars ton hjälpte till att jaga bort några av de mörkare tankarna.En: “Elsa, you can do this,” Magnus said with a reassuring voice, whose tone helped to chase away some of the darker thoughts.Sv: ”Du har alltid varit stark.” Deras samtal höll rädslan i schack en stund, och Elsa visste att hon hade fattat rätt beslut.En: “You've always been strong.” Their conversation kept the fear in check for a while, and Elsa knew she had made the right decision.Sv: Även om Magnus' ord var lugnande, var tanken på att ligga på det kalla operationsbordet fortfarande skrämmande.En: Even though Magnus' words were calming, the thought of lying on the cold operating table was still frightening.Sv: Sjuksköterskorna kom snart för att rulla henne mot operationssalen.En: The nurses soon came to roll her toward the operating room.Sv: Magnus följde med, så långt som han tilläts.En: Magnus followed as far as he was allowed.Sv: När hon rullades genom de sterila korridorerna, möttes hon av leenden från andra patienter och personal.En: As she was rolled through the sterile corridors, she was met with smiles from other patients and staff.Sv: Trots höstens krispiga kyla ute, kände Elsa värmen som stödet omkring henne gav.En: Despite the crisp fall chill outside, Elsa felt the warmth that the support around her gave.Sv: Operationssalen var ljus och kylig.En: The operating room was bright and chilly.Sv: Elsas hjärta slog snabbare, men

The word “foundry” might make you think of large machines pouring metal into molds, but Argonne National Labs has a Quantum Foundry that implants individual atoms, like silicon, into materials such as diamond. The resulting spin qubits are optically active and can use photons to communicate. We can expect spin qubits to help interconnect systems, which could help us achieve distributed quantum computing, but they also could be used for everything from room-temperature biological sensors to durable, space-based dark matter detectors.

140Bpm Heart Beats - Nimvy 11.06.25 | VISLA FM by VISLA

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks” – the podcast that harnesses the healing power of song to combat depression, anxiety, and everyday heartbreak.In today's episode we sit down with the multitalented Mark Firehammer—author of the genre‑blending novel The Echo and The Voice, creator of the wellness system Feelness, and a seasoned songwriter whose career spans from Florida coffee‑houses in the ‘90s to AI‑driven studios today.Mark shares the wild road‑trip story of his early touring days, the unexpected love affair he's had with the legendary Cronut, and the pivotal moment when he realized his next album would have to be built without a band. We dive deep into his groundbreaking Artist‑Imagined series, a quartet of AI‑crafted albums—Heartlands (country), Heartthrob (dance), Heartstrings (alternative) and Heartbeats (rock)—and explore how he trains machines to sing in the voices of imagined artists while preserving his own lived experiences.Along the way, we touch on:The rise and challenges of independent musicians in the streaming eraThe moral and creative debates surrounding AI‑generated music and Spotify's new disclosure rulesHow Mark's nonprofit aims to turn music, theater, film, and visual art into a collaborative network centered on human connectionFavorite childhood influences—from Cat Stevens and James Taylor to the awe‑inspiring voice of Freddie Mercury—and the songs that still move him to tearsWhether you're a songwriter stuck in a creative rut, a fan of cutting‑edge tech, or simply someone looking for a musical pick‑me‑up, this conversation offers a blend of nostalgia, practical insight, and forward‑looking optimism. Grab your headphones, cue up a fresh track, and let Mark's story remind you that when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.

Ever open your laptop to work on that big project and suddenly find yourself deep in a TikTok scroll? Or decide that right now is the perfect time to snack instead of finishing that report? Yep, we've all been there, right? That's because procrastination isn't laziness, it's humanness.  In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the story behind my first tattoo: my late mother's heartbeat and my late sister's initial, permanently inked on my wrist in honour of them both taken too soon and as a reminder that we only get a limited number of heartbeats on this earth. But this isn't just a tearjerker (though you might want tissues). It's a wake-up call wrapped in a pep talk you can return to again and again. Because every heartbeat is a countdown. And most of us don't realize it… until we're suddenly out of time. So why do we waste so many of heartbeats waiting to "feel ready"? We delay the workout. We postpone the dream. We distract ourselves from the discomfort of growth. We let the toddler brain in our head call the shots. But here's the truth no one teaches us: You don't need motivation to start. You just need movement. Inside this episode, I'm giving you 20 powerfully simple mantras that snap you out of procrastination and into action — even on the days you're tired, overwhelmed, or completely stuck in your own way. You'll learn: • Why resistance is actually a sign you're on the right path • How to show up even when you don't "feel like it" • The mindset shift that will change how you respond to discomfort • How to make future-you proud instead of panicked • How to use your heartbeats on what truly matters This isn't about hustle culture or perfection. This is about honouring your life. Honouring the people you love. Honouring the moments you still have left. Because the clock is ticking… and today is too precious to postpone. If you're stuck, listen. If you're scared, listen. If you're done wasting your heartbeats… press play now. Save this episode. Seriously. You'll want to come back to it every time procrastination creeps in. Jot down your favorite mantras, write them on sticky notes, put them where you'll see them when your brain starts negotiating with you about doing the hard thing. Because future you deserves a high five, not a headache.

Progress over perfection. Always.

With honesty and spiritual insight, Keana unpacks the difference between following a set of rules and cultivating a personal, transformative connection with the Creator.Listeners will learn:What defines religion: structure, tradition, and external behaviorsWhat defines relationship: intimacy, trust, and spiritual dialogueWhy religion can feel easier but often leaves us spiritually dryWhy relationship is harder but essential to knowing God's heartHow understanding God's character requires more than ritual it requires presenceKeana also shares personal reflections and practical ways to assess where you stand in your spiritual walk. If you've ever felt like you're “doing all the right things” but still feel disconnected from God, this episode will speak directly to your soul.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Finding Balance: An Autumn Tale of Healing and Heartbeats Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-09-11-22-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en klar och krispig höstdag, löven målade världen i nyanser av rött, gult och brunt.En: It was a clear and crisp autumn day, the leaves painting the world in shades of red, yellow, and brown.Sv: På avstånd hördes sprakandet av liv och arbete från ett fältsjukhus, förklätt i vita tält.En: In the distance, the crackling of life and work could be heard from a field hospital, disguised in white tents.Sv: Där inne var det full aktivitet och bland dem som arbetade hårt, fanns Lina, en erfaren sjuksköterska med hemliga drömmar om ett stillsammare liv.En: Inside, there was full activity, and among those working hard was Lina, an experienced nurse with secret dreams of a quieter life.Sv: Lina rustade omkring med vana händer, alltid på språng, alltid hjälpsam.En: Lina moved around with practiced hands, always on the go, always helpful.Sv: Men djupt inne bar hon en längtan efter att en dag ta av sig sjuksköterskeuniformen för gott.En: But deep inside, she carried a longing to one day take off her nurse's uniform for good.Sv: Trots detta, på denna speciella dag, fokuserade hon på en ny patient: Oskar.En: Despite this, on this particular day, she focused on a new patient: Oskar.Sv: Han hade kommit in med ett brutet ben efter en olycka under en av sina många äventyrsturer i naturen.En: He had arrived with a broken leg after an accident during one of his many adventure trips in nature.Sv: Oskar, en ung hiker med ett skratt som ekade genom tälten, kände nu hur frustrationen växte inom honom.En: Oskar, a young hiker with a laugh that echoed through the tents, now felt frustration growing within him.Sv: Han avskydde att vara stillasittande och beroende av andra.En: He hated being sedentary and dependent on others.Sv: Lina kände hans frustration och delade samtidigt sina egna hemliga tankar om förändring med sig själv.En: Lina sensed his frustration and simultaneously shared her own secret thoughts of change with herself.Sv: "Du måste ta det lugnt, Oskar," sa Lina mjukt medan hon justerade hans bandage.En: "You must take it easy, Oskar," said Lina softly as she adjusted his bandage.Sv: Oskar suckade och stirrade ut i fjärran genom tältets öppning.En: Oskar sighed and stared into the distance through the tent opening.Sv: Hans äventyrande skulle få vänta, och tanke på det gav honom en tyngd i hjärtat.En: His adventuring would have to wait, and the thought of it gave him a heaviness in his heart.Sv: "Jag vet, men det är så svårt," svarade han.En: "I know, but it's so hard," he replied.Sv: Vid sidan om dem stod Elin, en volontär som beundrade Linas hängivenhet.En: Beside them stood Elin, a volunteer who admired Lina's dedication.Sv: Hon hade blivit god vän med Lina och hjälpte gärna till med vad hon kunde.En: She had become good friends with Lina and was happy to help with whatever she could.Sv: Elin anade att Lina bar på något större än bara sitt arbete och kände en viss oro för henne.En: Elin sensed that Lina carried something more significant than just her work and felt a certain concern for her.Sv: En kväll, när tältet var fyllt med hektiska ljud och lukten av kaffe blandat med antiseptiskt medel, blev en annan patients tillstånd kritiskt.En: One evening, when the tent was filled with hectic sounds and the smell of coffee mixed with antiseptic, another patient's condition became critical.Sv: Lina agerade snabbt och effektivt.En: Lina acted quickly and efficiently.Sv: Det var i detta ögonblick som hon insåg hur mycket hennes arbete betydde, inte bara för patienterna utan också för henne själv.En: It was at this moment that she realized how much her work meant, not only for the patients but also for herself.Sv: Efter att situationen lugnat sig, satte sig Lina ner med Elin och Oskar.En: After the situation calmed down, Lina sat down with Elin and Oskar.Sv: Hon bestämde sig för att öppna sitt hjärta.En: She decided to open her heart.Sv: "Jag har länge funderat på en förändring i mitt liv," började hon, "men idag insåg jag hur viktigt mitt arbete här är.En: "I have long been thinking about a change in my life," she began, "but today I realized how important my work here is.Sv: Jag vill stanna, men jag vill också hitta tid för mig själv och mina egna drömmar."En: I want to stay, but I also want to find time for myself and my own dreams."Sv: Oskar log trots smärtan i benet.En: Oskar smiled despite the pain in his leg.Sv: "Du har redan hjälpt mig mycket, Lina.En: "You've already helped me a lot, Lina.Sv: Och jag inser att det är viktigt med stöd

140Bpm Heart Beats - Nimvy with Noodle 09.04.25 | VISLA FM by VISLA

’Gift ved første blik’ er tilbage med en ny sæson. Derfor udkommer Poptillægget med et særafsnit hver uge under hele sæsonen, hvor vi diskuterer det aktuelle afsnit, analyserer arketyperne og taler om deres kærlighedssprog. Og så stiller vi spørgsmålene: Hvem er ugens hovedpersoner? Hvem er vi medforelskede i? Hvem skal have mere parterapi? Og hvem tror vi på går hele vejen op til alteret og forbliver gift? PANELSara Fanta Traore, skuespiller. Thomas Balslev, redaktør på Heartbeats. Vært: Lucia Odoom. Redaktion: Lucia Odoom og Jonas Bach-Madsen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Abandoned at birth and raised in Romanian orphanages, Lucian Mastata knows the pain of rejection, neglect, and loneliness. In this heartfelt conversation, Lucian shares how a chance visit to a Christmas carol service as a teenager introduced him to the hope of Jesus and changed everything.  As he continued to return to church, he discovered that God was not a distant figure but a loving Father who could heal the wounds of his past and give him purpose for the future. We talk about the emotional toll of growing up as an orphan — the shame, stigma, low self-worth, and the healing power of God's love.  Lucian now leads one of the largest Christian music festivals in Eastern Europe, HeartBeats, creating space for the next generation to encounter Christ in a real and relevant way. His story is one of humility, perseverance, and radical hope. It's a powerful reminder that no matter what happened in our past, God can redeem any situation.

Det er sommer, og romantikken blomstrer på filmlærredet, i tv-programmerne og serierne, men en kold og praktisk brise har lagt sig over måden romantiske komedier og reality-programmer opfører sig på. Filmen ’Materialists’ har sat gang i debatten om, hvorvidt romantiske komedier overhovedet er romantiske komedier mere. I Netflix-serien ’Too Much’ er mødet og forholdet mellem de to hovedkarakterer bare mere tilfældigt end noget andet. I ugens afsnit spørger vi, om kærligheden er blevet for praktisk, kalkuleret og uromantisk til, at vi kan få lov til at drømme os væk i urealistiske scenarier i popkulturen? Hvis man spørger deltagerne i DR-programmet ’Hotel Romantik’, er der heldigvis stadig håb for romantikken og kærligheden, og derfor er ugens afsnit også en kærlighedserklæring til netop det program.

Nikita Klæstrup, vært på sladderpodcasten ’Bare mellem os’, er optaget af annonceringen af Taylor Swifts nye album Johanne Bille, forfatter og kulturjournalist, anbefaler ’Truckerdating’ på DR.

In this episode, Eden and Peter dive into Fantastic Four: First Steps, a surprisingly hopeful and aesthetically stunning addition to the MCU. They unpack the film's utopian vision, its fresh take on superhero storytelling, and why it might be one of Marvel's most emotionally resonant efforts to date.

more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-07-23-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Solen stod højt over Borobudur Temple Compounds, og dens brændende stråler skabte et skarpt lys over de gamle stenstrukturer.En: The sun stood high over Borobudur Temple Compounds, and its burning rays cast a sharp light over the ancient stone structures.Da: Søren, Freja og Katrine gik ad en støvet sti, omgivet af den frodige jungle, der indrammede templet.En: Søren, Freja, and Katrine walked along a dusty path, surrounded by the lush jungle that framed the temple.Da: Søren kiggede beundrende på de detaljerede udskæringer, der prydede templets vægge.En: Søren looked admirably at the detailed carvings that adorned the temple's walls.Da: "Jeg vil udforske alt det her," sagde han beslutsomt.En: "I want to explore all of this," he said decisively.Da: Men den trykkende varme begyndte allerede at genere ham.En: But the oppressive heat was already beginning to bother him.Da: Freja så bekymret på sin ven.En: Freja looked at her friend with concern.Da: "Søren, vi skal tage det roligt.En: "Søren, we need to take it easy.Da: Det er ekstremt varmt," sagde hun og rakte ham en vandflaske.En: It's extremely hot," she said, offering him a bottle of water.Da: "Du skal drikke noget."En: "You need to drink something."Da: "Jeg er okay," insisterede Søren og afviste bekymringerne.En: "I'm okay," Søren insisted, dismissing the concerns.Da: Hans lyst til at udfordre sig selv drev ham videre.En: His desire to challenge himself drove him onward.Da: Katrine gik tæt bag dem, hendes hjerte tungt af følelser, hun ikke havde delt.En: Katrine walked close behind them, her heart heavy with feelings she had not shared.Da: Hun elskede historien, de levende skulpturer og hemmelighederne gemt under junglens grønne dække.En: She loved the history, the vibrant sculptures, and the secrets hidden beneath the jungle's green canopy.Da: Men mest af alt, hun elskede Søren.En: But most of all, she loved Søren.Da: Hun betragtede ham kærligt og ønskede, han ville tage pauser.En: She watched him fondly and wished he would take breaks.Da: Som de fortsatte, sneg varmen sig ind.En: As they continued, the heat crept in.Da: Søren begyndte at føle sig svimmel, men pressede på.En: Søren began to feel dizzy but pushed on.Da: De nåede et højt udsigtspunkt, hvor udsigten ud over templet næsten tog hans ånde fra ham, bogstaveligt talt.En: They reached a high vantage point where the view over the temple nearly took his breath away, literally.Da: Pludselig vaklede han og faldt om.En: Suddenly, he wobbled and collapsed.Da: Freja skreg og kastede sig ned ved hans side.En: Freja screamed and threw herself down by his side.Da: "Søren!En: "Søren!Da: Vågn op!"En: Wake up!"Da: Hun havde øjeblikkeligt styr på situationen, vendte ham forsigtigt på siden og brugte den nødhjælp, hun havde lært.En: She immediately got a handle on the situation, gently turning him onto his side and using the first aid she had learned.Da: Hun koldede hans pande med vand.En: She cooled his forehead with water.Da: Katrine løb straks ned ad trappen for at finde hjælp, hendes hjerte hamrede.En: Katrine immediately ran down the stairs to find help, her heart pounding.Da: Efter et par lange minutter ankom hjælpen.En: After a few long minutes, help arrived.Da: Sammen førte de Søren til en skyggefuld plads for at køle af.En: Together, they led Søren to a shady spot to cool off.Da: Freja blev ved hans side, og Katrine vendte tilbage, fyldt med lettelse over at se Søren komme til sig selv.En: Freja stayed by his side, and Katrine returned, filled with relief to see Søren coming to his senses.Da: Senere, i templet hvor de nu sad under en svalende baldakin, erkendte Søren sin fejl.En: Later, in the temple where they now sat under a cooling canopy, Søren admitted his mistake.Da: "Jeg lyttede ikke til jer.En: "I didn't listen to you.Da: Jeg skulle have været klogere."En: I should have been wiser."Da: Freja puffede ham venligt.En: Freja nudged him kindly.Da: "Vi er her for at passe på hinanden.En: "We're here to take care of each other.Da: Det skal vi huske."En: We need to remember that."Da: Katrine smilede forsigtigt, delvis af lettelse og delvis over sin beslutning.En: Katrine smiled cautiously, partly out of relief and partly over her decision.Da: Hun vidste, det var tid til at fortælle Søren om sine følelser.En: She knew it was time to tell Søren about her feelings.Da: Hun lænede sig mod ham og sagde stille: "Søren, jeg er glad for, du er okay.En: She leaned towards him and said quietly: "Søren, I'm glad you're okay.Da: Jeg holder meget af dig," sagde hun med et lille smil.En: I care a lot about you," she said with a small smile.Da: Dagen sluttede med, at de gik langsomt om templet og tog sig tid til at nyde skønheden omkring dem.En: The day ended with them walking slowly around the temple, taking time to enjoy the beauty surrounding them.Da: Søren havde lært vigtigheden af at værdsætte sine venner og sine egne begrænsninger.En: Søren had learned the importance of appreciating his friends and his own limitations.Da: Aldrig havde junglen set så smuk og livsbekræftende ud, som den gjorde denne dag.En: Never had the jungle looked as beautiful and life-affirming as it did that day.

This Week I Flashback.......The Soul Survivors, originally from New York City, grew up listening to the R & B groups of the 1950's. The sounds of groups like the Moonglows, Heartbeats, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers had a great influence on brothers Charlie and Rich Ingui. With various street corner groups, they developed their vocal skills. While in high school, Charlie joined the vocal group from Queens, N.Y. the Dedications. When, a year later the group's lead singer decided to leave, brother Rich was recruited. While performing at clubs in the New York area, they found themselves at the mercy of various house bands and decided to find a group of musicians who would become permanent members of the group therefore creating a self contained unit. The group would be renamed THE SOUL SURVIVORS.Shortly thereafter, the group began to build a strong following, playing venues in Atlantic City and Philadelphia. Enjoying great success in Philadelphia, they attracted the attention of record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Into the recording studio they went, emerging with " Expressway To Your Heart " a song that would climb to #3 on Billboard's R&B chart and #4 on it's Top 100 list. The success of " Expressway " became Gamble and Huff's first "crossover" hit when it began to be played on both black and white radio stations. It's success enabled Gamble and Huff to reach the large audiences they sought in order to bring their " Sound Of Philadelphia " to the mass Market. In polls taken by both the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia's City Paper, " Expressway" was voted the number one record ever to come out of Philadelphia. "Expressway " was followed by two other chart records, "Explosion In My Soul" and " Mission Impossible". Their first album, released in 1968, was " When The Whistle Blows ". A second LP, on Atco Records, called "Take Another Look" appeared in 1969.During this time, the group toured extensively throughout the U.S. appearing with many different types of artists...everyone from Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles to Janis Joplin, the Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Sly and the Family Stone and countless others. In 1974, the Soul Survivors reunited with Gamble and Huff to record their self titled album "The Soul Survivors" on TSOP Records. It was written and performed in a style that would define the unique sound of The Soul Survivors.The album produced "City Of Brotherly Love" which would show up on Billboard's R&B Top 100 and become the group's fourth charted outing.© 2025 All Rights Reserved© 2025  Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud
