Chaka Khan's unmistakeable voice and musical versatility have made her one of the most influential musicians of the past six decades, with an estimated 70 million records sold. Whether fronting the band Rufus or performing as a solo artist, she's moved effortlessly between funk, soul, jazz, and pop, creating era-defining hits including I'm Every Woman, Ain't Nobody and I Feel For You. She grew up in Chicago, in an artistic family where she was surrounded by music. As a teenager, she became involved with the Affro-Arts Theater, where she was given the Yoruba name Chaka, and a political awakening led her to join the Black Panther Party. By her late teens, she had joined Rufus, whose breakthrough hit Tell Me Something Good launched the band to international success and marked the beginning of her recording career. She has since won 11 Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2026, been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and collaborated with some of music's modern greats, including Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell and Prince. Chaka lives on a farm in Georgia, surrounded by family.DISC ONE: What Is and What Should Never Be - Led Zeppelin DISC TWO: Good Times - Aretha Franklin DISC THREE: Tomaas - Miles Davis DISC FOUR: California - Joni Mitchell DISC FIVE: Tell Me Something Good - Rufus, Chaka Khan DISC SIX: A Woman in a Man's World - Chaka Khan DISC SEVEN: Cool Water - Joni Mitchell (duet with Willie Nelson) DISC EIGHT: Precious Is Your Name - Richard Smallwood featuring Chaka Khan BOOK CHOICE: The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran LUXURY ITEM: A gigantic sandalwood and oud candle CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: Precious Is Your Name - Richard Smallwood featuring Chaka Khan Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Hannah Hufford & Tim BanoDesert Island Discs has cast away other music legends to the island over the years including Nile Rogers and Cher.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 634 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Marcus King melting faces, the great acoustic guitar rabbit hole, and Ola Englund's Pedalhead previewBrian's hair may have entered a new era, so naturally the guys workshop his new mullet before anyone's allowed near a guitar. Once they get there, Richard is buzzing about Atomic Habitz at the Newport Jazz Festival - how could you not love Marcus King ripping through Funkadelic's "Red Hot Mama?" Turns out the kids really are gonna be alright. Then it's down the acoustic rabbit hole: jangly Taylors, warm Gibsons, giant SJ-200s, and why buying an acoustic is a far more personal affair than grabbing a Strat online - though Richard's happy with his Acoustasonic Jazzmaster for now. His new, rockier, punkier band has also left him with an actual blister on his picking finger from blasting Green Day's "Basket Case" at 170-plus BPM, which of course means a proper chat about Helter Skelter, Ringo's blisters, and whether that little band from the UK ever amounted to much.Gear-wise, Ola Englund's tasty preview of the Pedalhead has everyone chomping at the bit, the new ToneX board gets a bigger screen, and there is Bullshine talk. Richard also somehow bends his high E clean over the pickup, and the eternal "how many guitars do you take to a gig" debate rages on. Brian gives us his signature hotdog eating impersonation. The demented Tele, your custard is our pudding, 50p Oreos, Stevie Wonder, Shotguns fired...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Courses and DIY mods:https://www.bluesguitarmethod.comhttps://www.betterguitartone.comhttps://www.wamplerdiy.comhttps://www.guitarpedalcourse.comCheck out Oliver Effects:https://oliverfx.co.ukYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Support the show

In The Loop kicks off the show diving into Baker Mayfield's new deal and what it could mean for the Texans' negotiations with C.J. Stroud. Does Mayfield getting paid create more pressure for Houston to get an eleventh-hour deal done, or give Stroud even more motivation to stand pat and bet on himself? The guys continue the conversation by asking what type of quarterback Stroud really is right now and what that level of quarterback should be paid, before getting into the Question of the Day: What's something old school you still do? ITL then goes Around The NFL, while Reggie explains why he's beginning to see the vision for the Texans' running game and how it could work within Nick Caley's offense, followed by What's Popping in sports and entertainment. Later, the crew reacts to more from DeMeco Ryans on Texans Radio, including the idea of the offensive line working like “five fingers in a glove,” before Lunch-Time Confessions, where Lopez complains about US Open match times and Figgy wants to see Stevie Wonder in concert. Judge John Lopez returns to the courtroom before the guys put their NFL season predictions on the record. The show wraps with Figgy's Mixtape, featuring a sneaker reseller going off about the current state of the sneaker game, a collection of wild WTF stories from around the world, and more.

In The Loop gets into more from DeMeco Ryans on Texans Radio, including the idea of the offensive line working like “five fingers in a glove.” Is that cohesion enough for the Texans up front, and what else did DeMeco have to say heading into the season? Then it's time for Lunch-Time Confessions, where Lopez has a problem with the US Open match times and Figgy admits he wants to go see Stevie Wonder in concert. The hour wraps with another case being brought before Judge John Lopez.

Lopez confesses that he thinks the US Open match times are dumb, while Figgy wants to make his way to the Stevie Wonder concert.

Stevie Wonder vient d'annoncer un concert à Paris ! On revient sur les tubes de Stevie Wonder !

Les Tubes de Stevie Wonder !

Steve Levine is a multi-award winning British record producer. He has produced albums for stars ranging from Deniece Williams to China Crisis; from Ziggy Marley to Quarterflash; as well as being producer of Culture Club's first three multi-platinum selling albums from the 1980s. In 1984 Steve won Producer Of The Year at The Brit Awards, and in 1988 he won a Grammy Award for his work with Deniece Williams The Beach Boys self-titled 1985 CD – which Steve originally produced - was the band's first to be recorded digitally and featured guest musicians Ringo Starr, Gary Moore and Stevie Wonder, plus a track written by Boy George and Roy Hay of Culture Club. Now, the former Culture Club producer accesses individual tracks from the original London (Red Bus Studios) and Los Angeles (Westlake Audio) session tapes. 40 years later, armed with new technology, Steve is able to transform the sonic quality via equipment that wasn't available four decades ago. As he undertakes the painstaking studio process of remixing the music for a forthcoming re-release, Steve discusses the process – and the original sessions – in detail, with some music business friends. Those friends include original member of The Go Go's and solo star Belinda Carlisle; founder member of the band America, Gerry Beckley; poet, author, biographer and documentary film maker Michael Feeney Callan; plus young British music duo Smith & Liddle, otherwise known as Billy Smith and Elizabeth Liddle.A Magnum Opus Broadcasting production for the BBC World Service Producers: Steve Levine and Lewis Borg-Cardona

Labor Day weekend may mark the unofficial end of summer, but around here, summer isn't going quietly. In this week's show, we're giving the season one last fling with a free-form romp through songs of summer nights, summer rain, summer romance, warm breezes and those memories that seem to linger long after the days begin getting shorter. And, as is the common theme, we'll be traveling all over the musical map. There's the timeless “Summertime” alongside the cool breeze of Sinatra, some summer soul from Stevie Wonder and War, and plenty of pop memories from Johnny Rivers, Rick Nelson and the Beach Boys. We'll also wander off the beaten path for some country, rockabilly and Americana from Roger Miller, Dale Hawkins, and the Desert Rose Band. There are lazy nights, lost loves, blackberry summers and even a few reminders that summer isn't always sunshine and good times. So before we put away the lawn chairs and start thinking about autumn, we're squeezing every last drop out of the season. Join us for Summer's Last Stand, Friday morning at 9 Pacific on Deeper Roots—two hours of American music from across the decades, right here on KOWS Community Radio.

Why do your shoes always fly off in a car accident? Trevor, Eugene, and Khaya chase that question straight into Eugene's own wild motorbike crash story, involving a T-bone, a second accident two days later, and somehow living to tell the tale. From there, the conversation takes its usual unexpected turns, from South African taxi stickers and quick funerals to a rumor involving Stevie Wonder and Nelson Mandela. And the guys take a moment to remember Dolly Parton, reflecting on the music, humor, and humanity that made her so beloved. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

**Discussion begins at 7:25**This week, we're throwing research out the window and letting TikTok and Instagram take the wheel.  In this chaotic rapid-fire episode, we dive into some of the wildest conspiracy theories currently making the rounds on social media, and judge them based on absolutely nothing but the evidence presented in the videos. Is Stevie Wonder really blind? Did Sony kill Michael Jackson?  Is botox contributing to the future Zombie apocalypse?  Are giants and Himalayan sea salt somehow part of a much bigger story?  We watch, we debate, we ask way too many questions, and then we vote... Could it be true, or is the internet officially unwell?  No fact-checking.  No deep dives.  Just the 3SchemeQueens, questionable evidence, and pure conspiracy chaos.Send us Fan MailSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Imagine…travelling back to a time before the Internet…before Mountain Dew Livewire…and before the neo-post apocalypse…This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?The date is June 11th, 1982. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder are celebrating their fifth week on the top of the charts with Ebony and Ivory; and a lost alien life form is about to phone home...with the help of Sammy Fableman.The film...is E T. The Extra Terrestrial. And it's riiiiight heeeere, with a special appearance by The Goonies...now!I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we go through a tear in space and time to listen to a now defunct podcast are fellow cinephiles and time travellers Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.Topics of discussion in this bonus episode include the joys of early 80s PG films, including light profanity and homicidal rich kids; alternate-timeline Mike explains how he somehow missed seeing E.T. as a kid (much to me and Ryan's disgust); and finally, we all pick our favorite Goonie, while discussing the topic everyone was obsessed with in 2016: are Italians the last ethnicity it's socially acceptable to “do a funny voice of”.*Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

It's Free Speech Friday, and Joe Pags is going EVERYWHERE. He starts with Boston and Massachusetts politicians he says have completely lost the plot, including lawmakers proudly defending transgender athletes competing in women's sports. Then it's time for some incredible music history: Michael Jackson wanted Prince on "Bad," so why did Prince turn down what could've been one of the biggest duets EVER? Pags reveals the hilarious reason before flashing back to the glory days of MTV, talking Stevie Wonder, and revisiting Shaq's wild story that left him wondering whether Stevie can actually see. The phones light up before Pags turns to Vice President JD Vance campaigning in Ohio, playing his favorite moments and explaining why he loves seeing the VP get out and speak directly to Americans. Plus, the first deportation flight lands in Haiti following the TPS suspension—and somehow the crew ends up debating one of America's greatest mysteries: Why do we write dates backwards compared with England?

Adam Levine's Guitar Teacher Carlos Calvo Loved every moment with my old friend, singer/songwriter/ guitarist/teacher Carlos Calvo. It had been far too long since we last chatted, pre-COVID. The world, art, and our lives have changed drastically since then. Carlos, with his wife and daughter, moved to Spain, for one. Most of his work and mine are now online. Gratefully, it felt like we were in the same room. Gotta love the Zoom. We caught up with the Calvos' relocation to a tiny hamlet in Galicia, the where, why, and when, and some family history plus a little geography to put things in perspective. We circled back to Carlos growing up in New Jersey, picking up a guitar at 3 1/2, his father's guidance to study classical guitar at Carnegie Hall, coming out to LA to attend the Music School... his early gigs, including working at the original Guitar Center and a customer named Stevie Wonder, for one. Great story there. Club gigs, and Tommy Tedesco opening the door to session work, while beginning to teach: first Dionne Warwick's son, a few other celebrity kids, and a few years in, 10-year-old Adam Levine, whom Carlos would school until Adam's first record deal. There was also Adam's neighbor, Jonah Hill, and his brother, Jordon Feldstein, who went on to become a prominent music manager (Maroon 5 from the band's inception), Joe Perry's son, two of Pamela Adlon's daughters, and Neil Diamond's son, which included sitting in on their family Thanksgiving dinner. Being called to teach guitar to actors who needed to play on film... like Californication, where he worked on set for years, first hired to teach Becca Moody, aka Madeleine Martin, then teaching a passionate David Duchovny how to play off camera and then working it into the show... his call with David today, now four albums of his own later. All the while doing his own singer/songwriter band thing. Throughout the pod, Carlos noodled a bit, including snippets of a couple of my impromptu requests, finally treating us to a taste of his guitar genius. Carlos and I have history. He opened for Micky Dolenz with Rob Morrow at a Women Who Write event in my living room, the two then generously playing at my book signing at Book Soup, then again at another WWW in my living room, with an unscheduled Esai Morales jumping up to sing some Beatles tunes with Carlos at the end of his set. Carlos' Hotel Cafe gig and his first appearance on Game Changers, at that time done face-to-face, also in my living room. Always warm, humble, enthusiastic, and fun, it felt like going home. I've missed my friend and had so much fun spending time, even if it was across the miles. I moved the show up two hours to accommodate the time difference, not realizing it'd be midnight for Carlos when we started. Not a peep of complaint, infact I was told he'd barely finished dinner. My gratitude abounds! Carlos Calvo on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson ***Wed, August 19th, SPECIAL TIME 3 pm PT, 6 pm ET*** Streamed Live on my FB, YouTube & LinkedIn

SaCola Lehr sits down with Nick Strand, keynote speaker, author, and resilience expert, who spent twenty years building world-class stages for Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Stevie Wonder zero-margin environments where thousands of people are watching and there is no fallback plan.What the crowd never saw was what Nick was carrying offstage. He lost his mother to cancer, loved his wife Brianna through ten years of terminal cystic fibrosis until she passed away at 28, and later fought Bell's palsy mid-build. Professional peak performance and personal collapse running simultaneously.In the stillness that followed, Nick wrote his memoir Loving Someone Who Is Dying, launched the Choose Your Attitude® brand, and built the Build Your Stage framework, Attitude plus Action equals Impact, a system stress-tested not in a classroom, but in the hardest seasons of a real life.If you have ever kept showing up for everyone else while quietly falling apart inside, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Top Takeaways• Resilience is not about powering through it is about building a foundation that holds before life tests it.• Attitude is a decision, not a feeling. You start with what matters, and the attitude follows.• Changing the scenery of exhaustion is not rest. Real recovery looks different from what most high performers allow themselves.• The same principles that create unforgettable performances on stage are the ones that help us perform in life.• You do not need perfect circumstances to show up powerfully you need a repeatable process for when they fall apart.• "The show does not start when the lights go up. The show starts when you choose how to show up." — Nick StrandIf this episode moved you, tap follow, leave a review, and share it with someone who is performing at their peak and running on empty.Connect with Nick Strand:• Website: https://www.thenickstrand.com• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenickstrand• Book: Loving Someone Who Is Dying — available on AmazonResources Mentioned:• Harmony Hustle for Women: Master the Art of Thriving in Life and Career• PRONE to Power FrameworkConnect:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workitliveitownit/• Website: https://SaColaLehr.com/Email for business inquiries: info@workitliveitownit.com

Andros Georgiou joins Mark Millar on the XS Noize Podcast to reveal the remarkable story behind Trojan Souls—the ambitious George Michael album that was never completed. Andros discusses growing up alongside George, recognising his extraordinary musical ability at an early age and their work together on Boogie Box High's version of "Jive Talkin'," which featured an uncredited lead vocal from George. He explains how Trojan Souls brought together an extraordinary line-up that included Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Janet Jackson, Seal, Sade and Bryan Ferry. Andros also reveals that complete vocals by George and Elton still exist for "This Kind of Love"—a song he hopes could one day be released as a duet. The conversation explores George's remarkable songwriting and production process, the personal studio footage featured in the Trojan Souls film, what people still misunderstand about him and the emotional final conversation Andros shared with his lifelong friend.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Ruthie Foster to talk about her new album, Just Say Yes, and the musical journey that gave her such a powerful connection to songs, audiences, and the spirit inside a performance.Ruthie takes me into the making of the record with co-writer and producer Tyler Bryant. We talk about the importance of a great rhythm section, how different drummers can reshape a singer's phrasing, and why Ruthie prefers to step aside and let musicians bring their own interpretations to her songs. She also introduces us to her self-created background vocal group, affectionately known as the “Cheap Inspirations.”We trace Ruthie's story from learning piano and guitar in small-town Texas to studying music in Waco and working as a session singer during her time with Atlantic Records in New York. She reflects on the education she received in studios, songwriter circles, church services, and nearly empty clubs—and how each setting taught her something different about craft, versatility, and connecting with a room.At the center of our conversation is the idea behind Just Say Yes. What began as a reminder to accept professional opportunities has grown into something more personal: saying yes to herself, her family, and what truly matters. We also discuss parenthood, the emotional life of a song, and why Ruthie is still waiting for these new songs to reveal everything they have to teach her.Key TakeawaysRuthie gives the musicians on her albums room to interpret each song and contribute their own musical personalities.Her background as a New York session singer taught her versatility, efficiency, and how to change the timbre of her voice for different projects.Studying music in Waco exposed her to arranging, publishing, copyright, big-band instrumentation, and the business behind a musical career.Growing up in the church taught Ruthie that music begins with feeling and with the ability to change the atmosphere in a room.Songs continue to evolve for her over time, sometimes revealing their full emotional meaning only after years of performance.Just Say Yes looks forward, while her previous album, Mileage, invited her to look back over her life.The album's title has grown from a professional reminder into a commitment to say yes to herself, her family, and the things that matter most.Music from the EpisodeDoubling Back - Ruthie FosterThank You - Ruthie FosterYes - Ruthie FosterHold On - Ruthie FosterAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about music, creativity, and the people who devote their lives to making sound.

Joining hosts Philionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, Eric arrives at a defining crossroads: his upcoming self-titled album with lead single "Cry In Front Of You" marks his first move under a new partnership between his Evolve Music imprint and the iconic Tamla Motown, ending a fully independent run of more than forty released projects. And before the episode is over, a legend pulls up unannounced to make it official. The songwriter stories arrive fast and land clean. Eric relives the moment he heard Verse Simmons cooking up the beat next door at a writing camp and knew instantly that "You know me and my baby" was going to become Usher and Chris Brown's "New Flame," a record that is now the lead song on Usher's upcoming R&B tour. He shouts out silent-sniper Ne-Yo writing full verses on his phone in five minutes, unpacks the Usher gem that a melody has to be able to fill a stadium, and shares the Jermaine Dupri note that finally pushed him out of his rap-cadence comfort zone. He also calls his shot on the R&B resurgence, naming Coco Jones, Leon Thomas, Victoria Monet, and Muni Long as proof that the technical, intricate stuff is winning again. Then Eric goes where he has never gone on record. Guided by fan-submitted questions from the Crazy Crew, he opens up about the death of his mother, the grief that pushed him to co-write the album cold-sober from scratch with Troy Taylor, Harmony Samuels, Oak, Chris Riddick, Tony, and KP, and why "I Need Help" felt like the only honest way to open the record. He explains how his wife Lamaya, his kids, and the "Bell Ringers" who kept showing up with blankets at meet-and-greets carried him through, and offers real advice to a viewer grieving her own father about why you should never force creativity through loss. He also reflects on marriage in the industry, the "Never Be Lonely" duet with Amber Riley, sneaking onto Usher's Tiny Desk, and why family in the frame at Def Comedy Jam's 25th anniversary meant everything. The episode's biggest surprise walks through the door mid-conversation: legendary producer, songwriter, and Darkchild architect Rodney Jerkins pulls up to make the Evolve Music, Tamla Motown, Eric Bellinger partnership official on camera. Rodney, who has known Eric since he was thirteen, breaks down why this is a Quincy-and-Michael-style one-two punch, why he told Eric "you're gonna need a machine," and why the game right now is missing taste, patience, and the willingness to spend three years on an album. Eric closes the room by thanking Rodney directly, on mic, for his trust and brotherhood. Eric also sits in for our signature segment, Take It to the Bridge, and helps the crew split this week's Esther Rolle Award of Black Excellence (The ERBE) between the legendary Greg Phillinganes (this week's ERBE winner) and Stevie Wonder (crowned with the GOAT honors).

Searching, Martha's first new album in twenty-two years, is a blend of jazz, gospel, blues, R & B, and lived experience that was recorded in New Orleans, alongside acclaimed trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, and co-produced by Marsalis and Martha's longtime manager, Chris Roe. Chris also appears with Martha during our call. Searching becomes available wherever you find music beginning Friday, Aug. 14. Topics this segment include how the making of Searching was very much a collaborative experience; how Martha's mother taught her never to sing a song unless she understood it and could feel it; meeting Stevie Wonder for the first time when he was eight years old, in Berry Gordy's office at Motown; why the release of Searching is an answered prayer; and why purple is Martha's go-to color.
