Host Jeremy C. Park talks with music producer Mario Monterosso, who shares some of his personal background as an Italian guitarist, songwriter and producer who fell in love with Memphis music in 1982 when the rockabilly European revival started and how that led him to move to Memphis, Tennessee in 2016.During the interview, Mario shares how he became inspired by Bobby Darin's 1969 song, Simple Song of Freedom, and how still, after almost 60 years, it is powerfully appropriate for this current moment in history. He talks about spearheading the project to unite Memphis musicians in song in a worldwide humanitarian effort and how the different puzzle pieces came together to produce the song.Many internationally known Memphis musicians, singers and cultural organizations are supporting and part of the effort, including Priscilla Presley, Memphis Queen of Soul Carla Thomas, Kallen Esperian, Rev. Charles Hodges, Dr. Gary Beard, Dr. Keith Norman of First Baptist Church Broad, and Bar-Kays' founding member Larry Dodson. Their combined efforts and talents merged into the name Memphis Freedom Band. Mario also shares how the song will help children's hearts heal all over the world with proceeds from the song benefiting the Novick Cardiac Alliance, which is an organization headquartered in Memphis, that has been working around the world to ensure children with life threatening illnesses continue, despite war, to receive the treatment they need.This non-political project was recorded and filmed at the renowned Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, with Emmy Award-winning film composer and Grammy-nominated music producer, Scott Bomar, as Recording Engineer. The public is invited to the "unveiling" of the music video on December 20, 2023 from 6-8 PM at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art (www.thebrooks.org/songoffreedom). Mario adds how Marie Pizano and the MVP3 Foundation and MVP3 Records have assisted him in the project and have helped release the song publicly through Select-O-Hits, an American independent record label distributor of music based in Memphis, owned by Sam W. and John Phillips, which was co-founded in 1960 by their father, Tom and uncle, Sam Phillips. Sam Phillips is the founder of the legendary Sun Records, where Elvis, Johnny Cash and many others started their careers.Preview Simple Song of Freedom at https://orcd.co/memphisfreedomband

In this episode, host LaVelle Powell chops it up with Funk Legend Larry Dodson, Original Lead Singer of Iconic Band The Bar-Kays.

R&B singer Larry Dodson was born in 1951, and started his first vocal group, called the Temprees, when he was eleven years old. The Temprees went on to sign with Stax Records and record several hit songs, but by then Dodson had left the band to sing with The Bar-Kays and recorded his first record with them, called Black Rock . The Bar-Kays had been formed in 1966, and by the time Dodson joined them they were already the number-two house band at Stax Records. None of the members of the Bar-Kays were formally educated in music, but that did not prevent them from being highly successful while writing many of their own songs. They sang backup for Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, and other popular soul singers under the Stax Record label and recorded many hit songs in their own right, including “ Soul Finger ” and “ Son of Shaft ”. They performed “ Son of Shaft ” at the Wyattstax music festival in 1972, and were featured in the Golden Globe-nominated documentary Wyattstax made about the concert. After Stax Records went bankrupt in 1975, The Bar-Kays signed with Mercury Records and the band went on to have twenty-three singles on the R&B charts from 1976 to 1987. The Bar-Kays' music has been featured in the soundtrack to several films, including Spies Like Us and Superbad . The group broke up in 1993, and reformed a year later with Dodson and one other member of the original band. They continued to tour and write songs, enjoying a renewed popularity.

Episode 24 - On today's episode of Pillow Talk With Bros, Joe brings back fan favorite, Alex Van Handel, to talk all about sex! Alex and Joe talk about Male Sexuality, and all the dirty little secrets you are dying to know, even if your'e not! They talk about why men always wanting sex is a myth, what women do that turn them on the most, how they handle not being able to get it up and everything in-between. If you wanted to know what a couple of bros think about sex, this episode is for you! Drink of the Day - Joe is drinking a Fresh and Juicy Session India Pale Ale from Silver Reef Brewing Company, and Alex is drinking his Dad's Schofferhofer Hefeweizen Grapefruit beer. BIPOC BUSINESS OF THE WEEK - This week we'd like to throw some love to Guidance Whiskey. Inspired by the culture and motivated by love’s concept of family, Jason Ridgel founded Guidance Whiskey in October of 2018. He made a promise to his family back at home in Alabama to always pursue greatness. Aged for 2 years, this premium adult beverage was introduced, distilled in Iowa in a small batch and housed in Nashville, TN. A careful blend of corn and rye with a touch of malted barley, it accomplishes a smooth intense finish. The mutual understanding of the relationship between music and whiskey helped to bring the R&B/funk/soul icon himself into the family ship, Mr. Larry Dodson. And of course every ship needs it’s Captain! From day one while both were at his home in Memphis, Larry recognized how proud Jason is of this brand and the support behind it, representing so much excellence. "Good music and good liquor have always and will always go hand and hand,” says Larry Dodson. Now as the official spokesperson and face for Guidance, he shares the story and smooth taste with his fans and more around the globe.  Though the brand is young, it’s universally understood that any and everyone can use a bit of guidance, whiskey that is. Embrace Guidance! Guidance Whiskey can be purchased in stores in Tennessee and Georgia, and is available to other states from GuidanceWhiskey.comIf you'd like to read the article that Joe references in the podcast about Esther Perel's thoughts about male sexuality, you can check it out here: https://www.psychotherapynetworker.org/blog/details/1445/the-myths-about-male-sexuality

The Bar-Kays - She Talks To Me With Her Body (Petko Turner Edit) The Bar-Kays began in Memphis, Tennessee, as a studio session group, backing major artists at Stax Records. In 1967 they were chosen by Otis Redding to play as his backing band and were tutored for that role by Al Jackson, Jr., Booker T. Jones, and the other members of Booker T. & the M.G.'s.[1] Their first single, "Soul Finger", was issued on April 14, 1967, reaching number 3 on the US Billboard R&B Singles chart and number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. On December 10, 1967, Redding and four members of the band—Jimmie King (born June 8, 1949; guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (born December 27, 1948; electric organ), Phalon Jones (born 1948; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (born 1948; drums)—and their partner, Matthew Kelly, died when their airplane crashed into Lake Monona, near Madison, Wisconsin, while attempting to land at Truax Field. Redding and the band were scheduled to play their next concerts in Madison. Trumpeter Ben Cauley was the only survivor of the crash. Bassist James Alexander was on another plane, as the plane carrying Redding held only seven passengers. Cauley and Alexander rebuilt the group. The re-formed band consisted of Cauley; Alexander; Harvey Henderson, saxophone; Michael Toles, guitar; Ronnie Gorden, organ; Willie Hall, drums; and later Larry Dodson (formerly of fellow Stax act the Temprees), lead vocals. The group backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings, including Isaac Hayes on his album Hot Buttered Soul. Cauley left the group in 1971, leaving Alexander, Dodson (vocals, vibes), Barry Wilkins (guitar), Winston Stewart (keyboards), Henderson (tenor sax, flute), Charles "Scoops" Allen (trumpet), and Alvin Hunter (drums) to create the album Black Rock.[2] Lloyd Smith joined in 1973, and the band changed musical direction during the 1970s, forging a successful career in funk music. With the Stax/Volt label folding in 1975, the group signed with Mercury Records.[3] In 1976, Dodson (vocals), Alexander (bass), Lloyd Smith (guitar), Allen (trumpet), Henderson (saxophone), Frank Thompson (trombone), Stewart (keyboards), and Mike Beard (drums) brought their "Shake Your Rump to the Funk" track into the R&B Top Five.[3] In autumn 1977, the group came out with Flying High on Your Love, an album that featured "Shut the Funk Up", a "near-perfect disco song punctuated by the funky horn triumvirate of Charles 'Scoop' Allen, Harvey 'Joe' Henderson, and Frank 'Captain Disaster' Thompson and dominated by vocalist Larry 'D' Dodson's call to 'get on up or just shut the funk up.'"[4] In 1983, Sherman Guy left the group, and Larry (LJ) Johnson took his place on vocals and percussion. Charles Allen left the group just before it took a more commercial direction.[5] The Bar-Kays continued to have hits on R&B charts well into the 1980s. Guitarist Marcus Price, a member of the band, was murdered after leaving a rehearsal in 1984; the crime has never been solved by the Memphis police. The band took an extended break in the late 1980s but regrouped in 1991, with Alexander once again being the only original member.

Throughout their career the Bar-Kays have always taken time to give back to the community, whether through performing for US Troops in Kuwait and Iraq or volunteering with students at the Stax Music Academy.

As 17 and 18 year olds, we all agreed that if something happened to any of us, whoever remained would carry on the band.  I made a promise and kept it,” James Alexander says; “And the legend continues” says Larry Dodson.

The daughter of strict Baptist ministers in Dallas, Texas – only two kinds of music were allowed in N'dambi's house, gospel and country. Church was the center of the family's life in every way and there was no middle ground. Secular music was forbidden, but its irresistible allure eventually trickled into her life and began impacting the maturing young singer. Blessed with a deep contralto, N'dambi became especially enamored with the male singers from the ‘70s and ‘80s she'd heard and identified with while hanging out with cousins and friends. The funky soul of Bar-Kays' Larry Dodson, the sophisticated syncopation of Earth, Wind & Fire's Maurice White and the notorious abandon of the Ohio Players' Sugafoot influenced her heavily. Later, the mysterious, uninhibited imagination of Nina Simone and Mahalia Jackson also became musical and cultural touchstones. Her independent streak led to college and a degree in English and creative writing from SMU. Her developing, expressive voice, the poetic irony of her skillful writing ability and her musicianship as a classically trained pianist spurred N'dambi's musical ambition. N'dambi sang back-up and collaborated with another rising soul seeker, Erykah Badu all the while honing her artistry and slowly building a fiercely loyal fan base that resonates with the organic, authentic approach to her life and music. N'dambi delivered her debut solo CD Little Lost Girl Blues in 1999. Since then she has released the two-disc set Tunin' Up & Cosignin', and the 2005 set A Weird Kind Of Wonderful, which was released only in Japan. On her latest Pink Elephant, N'dambi ingeniously distills soul-deep inspiration into a sensual style of elegance and power.
