What If Daniel 9 Predicts Jesus With Verifiable Dates

Start with a prophecy almost everyone agrees is important but few claim to understand: Daniel 9. Now imagine testing it with modern calendars, archaeological finds, and arithmetic simple enough for a pocket calculator. That's the journey we take with chemist and author James Brown, who argues that Daniel's timeline doesn't just gesture at a vague era; it targets key dates in the life of Jesus and links to milestones in recent history with day-level precision.We walk through James's personal shift from cultural apathy to evidence-driven faith, sparked by fatherhood and a Bible study that refused to leave Daniel 9 in the fog. He explains how earlier giants like Newton and Anderson got close but lacked twentieth-century data and calendrical corrections. Then the conversation broadens: Ezekiel 4's cryptic count suddenly slots into place, Jeremiah's seventy years connect to Daniel's captivity marker, and two modern events—Israel's statehood in 1948 and Jerusalem's 1967 reunification—emerge as verifiable waypoints in the same framework.Along the way, we revisit the surprises archaeology has delivered, from the Hittites to Belshazzar, and we follow the trail to the Great Isaiah Scroll, carbon-dated to about 125 BC and preserving Isaiah 52:13–53:12 with striking clarity. James contends these threads knit together three objective proofs: God exists, Jesus is the promised Messiah, and Scripture carries reliable prophecy and fulfillment. No advanced math, no shifting rules—just one consistent method, audited and reproducible.If you've wanted more than slogans—if you've wanted reasons you can check—this conversation lays out the timelines, sources, and safeguards. Listen, take notes, and test it for yourself. If it holds, share the episode with someone who loves data as much as they love big questions. And if it challenges you, leave a review with the toughest counterpoint you can raise—we'll keep the conversation going.

Carlton Jumel Smith – Soul Man Vivendo na América em uma época em que muitos no poder são completamente desprovidos dealma, é preciso um Super Soul Man para manter a balança em equilíbrio genuíno! Esse é Carlton Jumel Smith.Soul Man de renome mundial, cantor, compositor, produtor e ator, construiu sua carreira sozinho e incendiou palcos de shows de Finlândia, China, Rússia, Turquia, Inglaterra, França e, claro, sua cidade natal, Nova York. Lexington Avenue", de 2019 é sua obra prima. Teve a honra de interpretar seu maior herói musical, James Brown, no filme "Liberty Heights" (1999), de Barry Levinson, e teve um papel principal ao lado de Cyndi Lauper no musical off-Broadway "Largo" (sobre a vida do compositor clássico tcheco Dvořák). Nasceu em no Spanish Harlem – com três irmãs e sua mãe. Ela quem levou Carlton, aos 8 anos, para assistir a James Brown no lendário Apollo – um local que não era apenas sagrado para Brown, mas também para todos os artistasnegros.  A experiência de ver James Brown, com sua orquestra de 16 músicos, cantores e dançarinos, deixou uma marca indelével em Carlton. Ao mesmo tempo, por meio de discos, sua mãe o apresentou à maestria de Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Joe Tex, Marvin Gaye, Johnnie Taylor, Al Green, e muitos outros. A profundidade do impacto deles foi tamanha que Carlton tem os nomes tatuados em ambos os braços.Passou os anos 80 aprimorando os vocais com os mentores locais Rick Torres e Greg Fore, experimentando a composição e enviando demos. Uma demo o conectou com a empresária, Yvonne Turner, resultando no single de estreia de Carlton em 1986, uma faixa de House Music apropriadamente intitulada "Excite Me". Após embarcar em um avião para Hollywood para entregar pessoalmente sua fita ao diretor Barry Levinson,  lhe garantiu o papel de um Brown ambicioso da década de 1950 no filme "Liberty Heights", Carlton estreou no B.B. King's Club, na Times Square, em Nova York, em 2002 – inicialmente como substituto de Ray Charles, que estava doente. Isso o levou a anos de shows lotados em New York, onde gravou dois álbuns ao vivo independentes lá: um deles: Carlton J. Smith Live at B.B. King's, de 2003 (com músicas associadas a Ray Charles e James Brown).  O lendário empresário Alan Leeds, que gerenciou as carreiras de Brown e Prince, apelidou carinhosamente Carlton de "Soul Brother Number New".Essa distinção em particular provou ser profética, pois Carlton teve uma grande oportunidade quando uma banda de jazz cancelou sua temporada em um clube na China, o agente ligou freneticamente para o mundo todo em busca de umsubstituto de última hora. Carlton, voou imediatamente e encantou o público asiático ávido por soul autêntico. Um contrato de três meses se transformou em quase uma década de trabalho constante, com seis shows por semana e três por dia, entre 2005 e 2014. Durante esse período, Carlton também gravou mais discos: Primeiro veio Waiting (2006), um projeto composto principalmente por regravações comoventes de obras de uma influência singular: o compositor experimental Tom Waits, que Carlton descreve – assim como Bobby Womack – como um tio que transmite “a verdade nua e crua”. De volta da China em 2014, Carlton lançou G.U.M. (Grown-up Music), direcionando seu foco para um público mais maduro. Em plena ascensão, morou na Turquia, Reino Unido, Suíça, Romênia, Indonésia, Rússia e Noruega. Lançou um livro "Nothing Matters Except the Music", que narra as experiências que teve com Sly Stone, The Isley Brothers, Patti LaBelle e muitos outros.  “Acredito firmemente que uma ótima canção é um beijo de Deus, afinal, na minha equação da alma: “Música + Letra = Sua Vida…”(Scott Galloway, June 2021)

Épisode exceptionnel, invité exceptionnel : Marco Prince, à l'occasion de la sortie du nouvel album de FFF, U Scream. Il y a des groupes qui reviennent. Et puis il y a ceux qui n'ont, en réalité, jamais vraiment disparu du paysage - ils attendaient juste que les planètes se réalignent. FFF fait partie de cette catégorie-là : les piliers du funk-rock hexagonal, capables de rallumer un public comme on allume une mèche, avec la même énergie communicative.Dans ce nouvel épisode Marco Prince parle de musique comme d'un acte vital, charnel, presque spirituel. Il évoque avec la réouverture du Bataclan, les lignes de basse qui rendent fou, la carrière de groupe comme une longue psychanalyse, la dureté du métier à l'ère des plateformes, ou le funk comme manière élégante de dire au monde : “On sait que la mort rôde, mais tant qu'on est vivants, on danse.”On parle du nouvel album, de l'immense chance de continuer à faire de la musique en 2024, de la faim intacte de FFF, mais aussi de Prince, de George Clinton, de James Brown, et de ce besoin presque organique d'être un haut-parleur de son époque.Un épisode intense, vibrant et sans filtre.

Songcraft wants the funk!  PART ONE:Paul and Scott discuss particularly recognizable bassists and chat about their expectations of what they thought Bootsy would be like before he landed the mother ship on Songcraft. PART TWO:Our in-depth conversation with the legendary Bootsy CollinsABOUT BOOTSY COLLINS:Named among the top 5 bassists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, Bootsy Collins is one of funk and R&B's most iconic musicians, singers, frontmen, producers, and characters. He started out playing sessions for King Records in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, then kickstarted his career with James Brown's backup band, The J.B.'s. He was credited as a songwriter on classic J.B.'s songs such as “The Grunt” and “These Are the J.B.'s.” In 1972, he joined George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic, and is a co-writer of classics such as “Up for the Down Stroke,” “Chocolate City,” “P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up),” “Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker),” “Mothership Connection,” “Dr. Funkenstein,” and “Flash Light.” In 1976, Bootsy's Rubber Band captivated audiences with his flashy star-shaped glasses and bass, and hits such as “I'd Rather Be With You” and the chart-topping “Bootzilla.” Since then, Bootsy has launched Bootzilla Productions and Funk University to help mentor younger creatives to reach their full potential. His inescapable influence on pop culture can be heard in the music of Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Dr. Dre, Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rick James, Prince, Daft Punk, Primus, Thundercat, and in Childish Gambino's Grammy-winning platinum hit “Redbone,” which paid homage to “I'd Rather Be With You.” Bootsy is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. His latest album is called Album of the Year #1 Funkateer.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

From being a regular on Fox's Mad TV, starring in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk shows, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each and every city, Aries' talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the "Musts" in the US. This past summer, Aries guest starred in CNN's “See It Loud” new summer series on the history of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023, alongside Amanda Seales, Da'Vinchi, Debbie Allen, Deon Cole, Desus & Mero, Gabrielle Union, Jimmie Walker, Judge Greg Mathis, Kevin Frazier, Loni Love, Lynn Whitfield, Mo'Nique, Naturi Naughton, Omari Hardwick, Ray J, Ruben Studdard, Sherri Shepherd, Tatyana Ali, Tiffany Pollard, Tisha Campbell, Vivica A. Fox and many more. Trailer: https://tinyurl.com/AriesCNNSeeItLoudAs a principal cast member on Fox's hit sketch comedy show Mad TV, Aries brought a fresh, hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries's talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons.Some of the many recurring characters that Aries is famous for on the show include: Belma Buttons, Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson, Mike Tyson, Walter (Crackheads), Reggie (Erascist), Dollar Bill Montgomery, Shaquille O'Neal, The Klumps, Michael Jackson, Sisqo, Evander Holyfield, El Diablo Negro and more. Aries also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown, Al Pacino, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded sketch “Talkin' American” was Mad TV's most popular bit, keeping fans tuned in and boosting Mad's ratings impressively on Saturday night.Aries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17, after being spotted in a comedy club, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar's The Pest followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s brother in Columbia's blockbuster hit, Jerry Maguire.Aries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has, but he in no way intends on stopping there. Given the extreme growing success rate of action comedies coming out of Hollywood, it's safe to say that Aries Spears will be in demand for quite some time.   https://www.ariesspears.com

Clemson graduate Mark Packer returned to his alma mater last week to speak to the Fort Hill Clemson Club and to dot the "i" on the field before the Tigers' victory over Florida State. Packer has been enjoying retirement since stepping away from the ACC Network this past summer. He said working for ESPN the previous three years was highly frustrating in part because he didn't have total control over his show, and he'd get pushback whenever he stuck up for the ACC. He has plans to write a book about his professional life, and he'll include his experiences with ESPN. Packer also looks back on the iconic "Primetime with the Packman" radio show that was popular for more than a decade in North Carolina and South Carolina. He tells the remarkable story of how the 'QCB' became a fixture on the show. He also reminisces about James Brown and his entourage showing up unannounced at the Charlotte-based studios and spending a rollicking hour on the air with Packer and Co. Packer also recalls the wee hours of the Northern California night in January of 2019 when he interviewed Dabo Swinney on the field at Levi's Stadium when no one else was around. Packer thinks Swinney has to do some significant adapting to move past this disastrous season and put Clemson back on footing with the best in college football.

Backbeats A History Of Rock n Roll In 15 Drummers From Music Historian John Lingan

Rock and roll is not rock and roll without a beat. John Lingan's new book, BACKBEATS: A History of Rock and Roll in 15 Drummers (Scribner; Publication date: November 11, 2025) is an electrifying journey through the history of rock and roll, told through the lives of fifteen iconic drummers and their percussion rivals-from John Bonham and Charlie Watts to Ringo Starr and Questlove.Rock and roll thrives on rhythm, but the drummers who drive that pulse often stay in the shadows. In BACKBEATS, acclaimed music historian John Lingan brings these unsung heroes into the spotlight, delivering a fascinating journey through six decades of rock history.Lingan's deep research and vivid storytelling explores the lives of fifteen pathbreaking drummers and their fellow timekeepers-men and women who together laid down the beat of an era. From Bernard Purdie's legendary work with Aretha Franklin to Dave Grohl's funk- and punk-indebted swing for Nirvana, these drummers redefined what was possible in pop music. Iconic figures like Ringo Starr, whose inventive style transformed the Beatles, and Charlie Watts, the steady backbone of the Rolling Stones, take center stage. But Lingan doesn't stop there-he also shines a light on Hal Blaine, the backbone of the LA studio scene's "Wrecking Crew," groundbreaking, underappreciated talents like Maureen Tucker of The Velvet Underground, whose minimalist beats rewrote the rulebook, and Sam Lay, a pivotal figure in rock's evolution from the blues.Packed with insider stories and exclusive interviews-from Robert Plant's reflections on Led Zeppelin's legendary sessions to revered recording engineer Steve Albini's behind-the-scenes accounts-BACKBEATS offers an eye-opening glimpse into some of rock's most unforgettable moments, including the seismic shift of Bob Dylan going electric at Newport, James Brown's explosive creation of funk in the late sixties, and Slayer's role in the birth of LA thrash metal in the early eighties.More than just a tribute to an unrecognized group of virtuosos, this book is a love letter to the art of drumming itself. BACKBEATS shows how these remarkable artists not only kept the beat but drove rock and roll forward. It's a must-read for any music lover, offering a fresh and thrilling perspective on a story we only thought we knew.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Expecting Quality - and How You Get There

The Accidental Leader

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 12, 2025 18:00


This show is, of course, all about those of us who didn't exactly set out to lead but just kind of looked up one day and realized that people were looking to us for direction. It's humbling, it's weirdly funny sometimes, and it's full of lessons, and this week on the podcast, I am talking about one of my favorite topics: quality.It's a word we all throw around. We want quality work. We stand for quality. Few of us, however, ever actually stop to define what that means, and I spend some time talking in this episode about someone who truly lived quality in a way that was hilarious, demanding, and unforgettable: James Brown.Every time the Godfather of Soul stepped on stage, before the first note played, he'd turn his back to the audience and face his band. He would then raise one hand or two: five or ten. Those weren't countdowns. They were fines—five dollars for unshined shoes, ten for a wrinkled suit. The thing is, though? it wasn't vanity. James Brown knew that if you looked sloppy, you would probably play sloppily. Quality wasn't about the shine but rather about the standard.In leadership, especially the accidental kind, we tend to assume everyone wants to do great work, and I do believe that most do, but they can't hit the target if they don't know where it is, and that is where we come in as leaders - defining what “great” looks like, modeling it, celebrating it, correcting it when it's off, and doing it all with consistency because quality isn't a one-time thing. Similar to how we can't just take a shower once and then never need to again in our lives, quality is a constant thing.Listen in as I share the four keys that I have learned to actually build that rhythm of quality in your culture without becoming the “fine police.” I discuss clarity, accountability, celebration, and consistency and how those play out in the real world because when your team starts catching their own unshined shoes before you do, that's when you've built something special, so here's the question I'm leaving you with: what's your version of James Brown's shoe inspection? I would love to hear from you!Time Stamps:[01:06] - I open by exploring the often-misunderstood concept of “quality” and its role in leadership.[02:09] - I recount James Brown's strict pre-show inspections to illustrate how details define true quality.[05:36] - Listen as I reframe quality as respect - clarity, preparation, and integrity - not perfection or polished appearances.[08:37] - Leaders ultimately set the tone for quality via their own consistent example.[10:10] - I outline clarity, accountability, celebration, and rhythm as the four keys to sustaining quality.[13:28] - A quality-driven team eventually self-regulates, maintaining excellence without constant reminders.[15:13] - I bring the episode to a close by encouraging leaders to define and model their own “shoe inspection” standards.Resources:The Accidental Leader - Websiteyournarketing.cobo@yourmarketingco.comBo McDonald on LinkedInRobert M.

In the penultimate episode of season 2 of Soundscapes NYC, hosts Ryan Purcell and Kristie Soares sit down with acclaimed historian Alice Echols, author of Hot Stuff: Disco and the Remaking of American Culture. Echols—who holds the Barbra Streisand Chair of Contemporary Gender Studies at the University of Southern California—unpacks how disco not only mirrored but actively shaped the social, racial, and sexual revolutions of 1970s New York City. Echols is the author of several books that have framed the way we understand the history of the 1960s and 1970s, and particularly the way music has shaped society at the intersection of gender, sexuality, and race. The conversation begins with Echols' newest research, drawn from her forthcoming book Black Power, White Heat: From Solidarity Politics to Radical Chic, which reexamines interracial activism and allyship during the Black Freedom Movement. From the Angela Davis trial to the alliances formed within SNCC and the Black Panther Party, Echols traces how solidarity both flourished and fractured across the era. Turning to disco, she considers disco's uneasy place in Black and queer cultural history. She notes how disco was created by and for Black audiences, while also being rejected by many in the Black music industry, like James Brown, for being “politically empty.” Through figures like Nile Rodgers, Grace Jones, and Sylvester, Echols argues that disco's lush orchestration and sensual performances reflected radical redefinitions of gender, sexuality, and Black masculinity. With musical excerpts woven throughout, Purcell and Soares guide listeners through the sonic textures of disco—its roots in funk and soul, its resistance to genre boundaries, and its capacity to move bodies and politics alike.

The paramount concern articulated in this discourse pertains to the significance of networking within the realm of music education and professional advancement. I, alongside my esteemed colleagues, delve into the merits of attending institutions such as Berklee, elucidating how these establishments serve not merely as educational platforms but as fertile grounds for forging invaluable connections with industry professionals. Our conversation further navigates the dichotomy between formal education and self-directed practice, challenging the notion that success in music is solely predicated on traditional academic pathways. We acknowledge the myriad of successful artists who have transcended conventional educational routes, yet we underscore the multifaceted advantages that arise from collaborative engagements and shared experiences fostered in academic settings. Ultimately, the episode serves as a contemplative exploration of the intricate balance between individual artistry and the collaborative spirit essential for thriving in the contemporary music landscape.The conversation delves into the significance of obtaining a formal music education, particularly at prestigious institutions such as Berklee. I articulate the duality of this experience, emphasizing that while a traditional education provides invaluable networking opportunities, it is also possible to achieve success through self-directed study and practice. The guests elucidate their personal journeys, highlighting the evolution of music education in the digital age, where resources abound online, contrasting with the more financially prohibitive methods of the past. They underscore the importance of cultivating relationships within the industry, which can yield substantial benefits in one's career trajectory. Networking emerges as a pivotal theme, as they recount how connections made during their time at school continue to influence their professional lives, facilitating collaborations and opportunities that may not have been accessible otherwise.Takeaways: The significance of attending a prestigious institution like Berklee lies in the invaluable networking opportunities provided, which can greatly enhance one's career in music. While self-teaching can be effective for some musicians, formal education can offer structured learning and connections that may be beneficial in the long run. The collaborative nature of music production necessitates effective communication and team dynamics, as it allows for a more natural and cohesive creative process. Working with esteemed artists such as Michael Jackson and James Brown imparts essential lessons about simplicity and accessibility in music, which can resonate with wider audiences.

Professor James Brown is an author, podcaster and ADHD expert. Burnout, and a Christmas day spent contemplating his own death led him to get a private ADHD diagnosis. The result helped him reframe his entire life. Expect an honest look at the realities of ADHD, bipolar, cyclothymia, binge-eating disorder, and chronic anhedonia – the inability to feel joy. James teaches us how to co-exist with your neurodivergence, while his productivity shows us how it can be deployed to your advantage. LESSONS YOU'LL LEARN:ADHD is a reason, never an excuse: understanding your condition gives you a lens to reframe your past, but it doesn't absolve you of responsibility. Consistent inconsistency is the reality: with ADHD, you can be incredibly productive one day and unable to open your inbox the next. It's a game of averages. Motivation often comes from fear, not passion: many with ADHD are driven by external deadlines and fear of letting others down rather than internal drive.You can create meaning without feeling joy: James proves that even without experiencing happiness, you can build a life of profound purpose and impact. Society fails neurodivergent people systematically: a third of male prisoners likely have ADHD. Early diagnosis and medication improve outcomes in every domain. The cost of not treating ADHD properly is £19 billion per year to the UK economy.Book:ADHD Unpacked https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADHD-Unpacked-Everything-survive-thrive/dp/1526679361Podcast: ADHD Adultshttps://theadhdadults.uk/

Charles Bradley's cover of Black Sabbath's Changes is one that both hosts of this podcast believe could well be the definitive version of the song. And we say that having done three episodes on Black Sabbath — an odyssey that gave us both a newfound appreciation for one of, if not the, most important metal bands to have ever existed. Changes itself is a great song, but this emotional reworking casts an entirely new light on its meaning and power. That, in turn, led us to dive into the work — and world — of Charles Bradley. Much was (rightly) made of Bradley when the then 62-year-old “Screaming Eagle of Soul” burst into public consciousness in 2011 with his debut album No Time for Dreaming. He was met with widespread critical acclaim, and the record proved a major success for his label, Daptone Records. From there, he went from strength to strength, releasing two more albums before his untimely death in 2016 from stomach cancer. A former James Brown impersonator, Bradley's life was one of tremendous hardship, which ultimately saw him achieve his greatest dream. He burned brightly and briefly, and his final record, Changes — named after the excellent Sabbath cover nestled within — is a remarkable work to bow out with. In this episode, we talk all about his life, through the lens of the 2011 documentary Charles Bradley: Soul of America, before discussing some of our favourite soul covers of rock songs.

What does it really mean to have a strong “why” as an entrepreneur? What's driving you as a business owner, money, or something deeper that fuels your resilience?In this episode of The Agency Blueprint podcast, I'm joined by James Brown to discuss the deeper “why” behind entrepreneurship and to share his incredibly inspiring journey. James is the CEO and founder of Business Accelerator Institute and Perseverance Squared. He has had a fascinating journey from starting his law firm in 1994 and scaling it to over $8 million annually across multiple cities, and selling it before the age of 50, then dedicating himself to helping other business owners break free from being trapped in their own businesses. Listen in to learn why money alone isn't a sustainable motivator, why personal sacrifice doesn't have to equal success, and how to create systems that allow a business to serve your life. You will also learn the seven essential parts every business has and how to shift from working in the business to working on it.Key Questions:[06:33] Do you believe money should be the main motivation in your business, or is there a deeper purpose guiding you?[11:30] When setbacks pile up, how do you reconnect to your “why” and push through difficult seasons?[15:50] Are you buying into the “doctrine of sacrifice,” working endless hours at the expense of your life and health?[21:50] As an agency owner feeling burnt out, how can you rediscover your why and build a business that serves you instead of trapping you?What You'll Discover: [02:03] James shares his journey and how childhood criticism fueled his perseverance, shaping his entrepreneurial grit and determination.[07:32] A pivotal lesson from his wife: “Do what's right, help people, and the money will follow”—a principle he still applies today.[09:33] How reaching financial stability allowed him to shift his focus from making money to helping as many people as possible.[11:40] How removing emotional labels from setbacks freed him to stay creative and solve problems in tough times.[16:03] The “doctrine of sacrifice” and why believing you must work 80-hour weeks is one of the biggest entrepreneurial traps.[21:14] How James gained the freedom to volunteer, travel, and serve his community without his business missing a beat.[22:16] How agency owners can rediscover their why, reframe their story, and reconnect passion to daily operations.Get A Free Gift from James

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

Episode 91: Christian McBride. Nine-time GRAMMY winner Christian McBride is one of the most influential jazz artists in the game. His collaborations span icons like Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, James Brown, and Sting. He's the leader of multiple acclaimed bands including the Christian McBride Big Band, Inside Straight, and New Jawn.
