Mona Smith-Stocklin, an R&B soul singer from Southern California, hails from Farmington, New Mexico, but was raised in the Inland Empire in Southern California. Music has been in Mona's life since before she could speak, as she was surrounded by various genres like Blues, Country, rock, and R&B from a young age. In a time when there were no black radio stations, she turned to albums, fostering a passion for country and contemporary music through white radio stations. Growing up, her parents' extensive collection of 45 records and albums, including comedy albums, exposed her to comedians like Red Fox and Richard Pryor, adding to her eclectic musical upbringing. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nalasden88/message

How many of you still love R&B soul music. Well if you still do, it's not dead, and J Sparks has it.We need soul music. We need slow jams about love and how we feel. We need music to keep us motivated for the dance floor. Music is love and music is life. JSPARKS has that. The media might tell you one thing, but we know what we like and how we talk about music amongst ourselves. You can't fool people that have heard real music and those that know what it's all about. People know what they want and know what they like. That old fashioned music is deep in the soul and will never be forgotten and will never die. That's why we have JSPARKS.A lot has been taken out of music & singing. It just doesn't have the meat on the bone like the past. When I heard J Sparks, I was glad to hear him. You're listening to the New Retro and I'm your host, Gail Nobles. Today's topic: JSPARKS - A Different Kind of Love.
