The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicked off with a major announcement that had music lovers buzzing. Questlove revealed a posthumous D’Angelo album is officially on the way, describing the sound as “yesterday but for the future,” and hinting at an intimate look behind the scenes of the late neo-soul icon’s creative world. From there, the crew dove straight into a spicy debate after NBA legend Jason Williams suggested Megan Thee Stallion might be distracting Klay Thompson from performing at his best, which sparked a playful but heated back-and-forth about relationships, superstition, and whether love can really affect an athlete’s game. The episode balanced that drama with heartfelt moments as the team celebrated Rickey Smiley’s 36 years in comedy, reflecting on milestones from opening for Martin Lawrence to his long-running radio legacy. The show also addressed community news, including updates on the shutdown resolution and Reverend Jesse Jackson’s hospitalization, with listeners encouraged to keep him lifted in prayer.

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.

In the tailwind of D'Angelo's October 14 passing after a private battle with pancreatic cancer, your humble narrator was shell-shocked in a melancholic malaise. After about a week of confounding parasocial grief, I redirected that energy and embarked on creating a couple of legacy projects in tribute to the dearly departed. This very lengthy, meticulously-crafted, deeply-intentional memorial episode welcomes a diverse smattering of vibrant voices across geography and generation. Musicians/artists, journalists, poets, archivists, superfans - all of us navigating the seismic loss, mourning this monumental spirit in our own loving words and ways. with very special guests: 16:30 - jay smooth 53:30 - dan charnas 1:01:25 - ursula rucker 1:29:55 - nikki glaspie 1:47:50 - eric krasno 2:28:00 - funk it blog shoutout 2:31:35 - d.j. williams 2:37:05 - otis mcdonald 2:52:40 - viveca hawkins
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. He also serves as the host of NPR's Jazz Night in America and was the Artistic Director of the Newport Jazz Festival for a decade. His story is incredible, and we're setting the stage here with Part 1, The Early Years. Growing up in Philadelphia, Christian was surrounded by greatness. His high school classmates included Questlove, Black Thought, Joey DeFrancesco, and Kurt Rosenwinkel, just to name a few. In this episode, we talk about those formative years, the Philly music scene, and how he broke into the spotlight with Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard, along with the wild story of his rare opportunity to play for Miles Davis. We also get into his professional mentality, early lessons on leadership, and what it took to earn respect from legends while still a teenager. Christian is an amazing storyteller, and this conversation is full of history, heart, and laughs. We had the best time recording this one, so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Lets go!

Subscribe to Fela Kuti: Fear No Man. In a world that's on fire, what is the role of art? What can music actually…do? Can a song save a life? Change a law? Topple a president? Get you killed? In Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, Jad Abumrad—creator of Radiolab, More Perfect, and Dolly Parton's America—tells the story of one of the great political awakenings in music: how a classically trained 'colonial boy' traveled to America, in search of Africa, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state—creating a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat. For years, the world's biggest stars made pilgrimages to Nigeria to experience Fela's Shrine, the epicenter of his musical revolution. But when the mix of art and activism got too hot, the state pulled out its guns, and literally opened fire. Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is an uncategorizable mix of oral history, musicology, deep dive journalism, and cutting edge sound design that takes listeners deep inside Fela's life, music, and legacy. Drawing from over 200 interviews with Fela Kuti's family, friends, as well as scholars, activists, and luminaries like Burna Boy, Paul McCartney, Questlove, Santigold, and former President Barack Obama (just to name a few), Fela Kuti: Fear No Man journeys deep into the soul of Afrobeat to explore the transformative power of art and the role artists can play in this current moment of global unrest.

Ein Träumchen: Wenn ich weiß, gleich habe ich ein Interview mit zwei absoluten Experten, dann sind das diese Interviews, auf die ich mich schon Tage vorher freue. Aber worum geht es? Um nicht weniger als um eines meiner absoluten Lieblingsthemen: SOUND. Was ist Sound und wie groovt Sound? Eine evtl komische Frage auf den ersten Blick, aber mit diesen beiden Typen, ist die Antwort wesentlich größer als die Frage selbst. Zum einen hätten wir da Max Gebhardt, besser bekannt als Max Beatwerk. Er ist der Daniel Düsentrieb unter den Sound Groove Erschaffern. Jemand, bei dem sogar Quest Love anklopft um zu fragen, wie er diesen Sound und Groove gemacht hat. Und zum anderen Oli Rubow: Ein Pionier der Sound Experimenteure. Einer der ersten, der versuchte, elektronische Beats auf ein akustisches Set zu übertragen und analog zu verfremden, Groove daraus neu entstehen zu lassen, zu dekonstruieren und zu konstruieren und schließlich grooven zu lassen. Diese beiden konnte ich gewinnen, um mit mir über Sound zu sprechen und ich kann nur sagen: ich bin danach sofort in den Proberaum gefahren und habe angefangen zu experimentieren am heimischen Drum-Set. Und noch ein Tipp: Bitte bis zum Ende hören, denn das ist jetzt schon legendär.

Episode 85: Miles Bonham. Known to millions online as Miles Music Kid, Miles Bonham has become one of the youngest and most talked-about musical prodigies on Instagram. His videos have gone viral around the world, showcasing his natural talent, creativity, and unique ear for music at such a young age. He is one of the most followed under-10-year-olds in the world, and already, at just 9 years old, has some of the most elite musicians and producers befriending him, supporting him, and cheering him on (shoutout to Mark Ronson, Pharrell, Zedd, Jacob Collier, Questlove, Teddy Swims and Charlie Puth). This is Miles' podcast debut, and I wanted to mark this special moment in time with him. I had so many questions for Miles, and you can see in this interview how adorable and happy of a kid he is. His dad also joined us for this episode so we could talk about what it's like parenting Miles, the approach he and his wife have taken, and the incredible job they are doing. This is a unique episode, since we have never had a kid on the podcast before, but I hope you find it enjoyable and take away some profound thoughts from the brilliant young mind of Miles Bonham. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.
