From big band and small combo work at The Rivers School in Weston, MA, to prestigious jazz programs like The NEC Jazz Lab, Berklee's Five-Week Jazz Workshop, and the Vail Jazz Workshop, he built a deep foundation in multiple styles. In college, he studied under Vince Cherico, Bruce Barth, David Gibson, and Don Sickler, and played in 11 theater productions, including In The Heights, Head Over Heels, and Pippin. He eventually graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Economics and Mathematics.What made this conversation stand out was Michael's curiosity about not just drumming, but the business side of Broadway. He talked about joining a co-producing team for Lumpica, helping to fundraise for the production, and learning firsthand how tight the margins are in theater. From the massive cost of putting up a show to the weekly expenses that can make or break a production, Michael brings a perspective that every theater musician should hear.If you want to understand how to make a lasting career in this business — not just play the music — my upcoming book Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career dives deep into both the art and the industry.Subscribe to Broadway Drumming 101 so you don't miss Michael's episode and other conversations that go beyond the notes.Clayton Craddock founded Broadway Drumming 101, an in-depth online platform offering specialized mentorship and a carefully curated collection of resources tailored for aspiring and professional musicians.Clayton's Broadway and Off-Broadway credits include tick, tick…BOOM!, Altar Boyz, Memphis The Musical, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical, and The Gospel at Colonus (featuring Kim Burrell).

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver wondered what drives someone to pay thousands of dollars to test their partner's loyalty? We dive deep into the surprising world of professional "honey traps" – where attractive influencers charge up to $5,000 to tempt unsuspecting boyfriends online. As one such entrepreneur puts it: "I'm not out here ruining relationships, I'm just giving women the receipts." But the real question remains: if you're already suspicious enough to hire someone, don't you already know the answer?The conversation takes an unexpected turn as we explore scientific innovation happening in dental care – researchers at King's College London have discovered that keratin, a protein found in human hair, could replace fluoride in toothpaste. This breakthrough uses the body's own materials to create a protective coating that mimics natural enamel. While brushing your teeth with a hair-derived product might sound strange, it could be on shelves within two years.We also tackle a frustrating social media phenomenon: why do influential accounts amplify hateful comments by reposting them? When public figures with large followings share screenshots of abusive messages, they're inadvertently giving trolls exactly what they want – attention and a bigger platform. Sometimes the old advice rings true: simply ignoring negativity might be more effective than highlighting it. These modern dilemmas reflect our evolving digital landscape where relationship boundaries, scientific advances, and social media ethics constantly intersect.

When Motown singer Tammi Terrell died at the age of 24, Marvin Gaye was the only one from her label allowed at her funeral. The rest – especially her former boyfriend, the Tempations' David Ruffin – were banned. So what happened between them? The answer lies in a story of fame, furs, cocaine, and a scandal that still casts a shadow over soul music.

The Temptations were one of Motown's signature vocal groups, and they remain one of the most successful R&B acts of all time. But fame and drugs corrupted them from the beginning. Lineup changes were as frequent as their chart-topping hits. Eventually their rocky road led to drug addiction, crippling paranoia, routine backstabbing, and one of the most tragic deaths in the history of the Motor City.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions. It focuses specifically on his discussion of the temptations caused by the "concupiscence of the flesh" discussed in book 10, which Augustine says that he still has to struggle with to some degree even after his full conversion to Christianity.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions. It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 10 of the temptations involved in the "concupiscence of the eyes", namely our tendency to take delight or interest in the things that we see with this sense, and the drive of curiosity, the desire to know things that are really not our concern or our business .

From the Beatles to Nirvana to Pulp Fiction and Friends, every decade used to bring a cultural reset—new sounds, new voices, new aesthetics that changed the way we dressed, talked, and thought. But for the past 25 years, that cycle stopped. Why? In this week's After Party, Jake takes us back to a time when artists shaped the culture—and breaks down how corporatization, consolidation, and the algorithm killed the artist as changemaker. Plus: a bonus section packed with receipts on music, movies, books, and the myth work we're all doing together to take it back. On Tuesday, we're bringing you a story about the Temptations and the untimely death of the great Tammi Terrell. Jake wants to know: Which musician's death is the most suspicious?

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in WYGYFF Episode 25: Singer-songwriter, producer, guitarist and drummer LeRoy Bell. With his famous uncle and Philly Sound hitmaker Thom Bell as a mentor, during the 1970s he wrote or co-wrote songs for Elton John, the Spinners, the O'Jays, the Temptations, Freda Payne, the Three Degrees, Teddy Pendergrass, Phyllis Hyman, Lou Rawls, Johnny Mathis and others. For John, he co-wrote the hit, “Mama Can't Buy You Love.”  He was also one-half of the duo Bell and James, which released three albums and notched the funky dance hit, “Livin' It Up (Friday Night).” Along the way he shared the stage with superstars like B.B. King and Joe Cocker, released solo albums and led a group called LeRoy Bell and His Only Friends, and in 2011 was a standout on TV's The X Factor talent show. RECORDED MARCH 2025 Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where'd You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives. WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where'd you get your funk from? This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations. LEGAL NOTICE: All video and audio content protected by copyright.

As leaders, we all face temptations that can distract us from what matters most. And more often than not, those temptations take one of 5 common forms: certainty, obsession, apathy, distraction, or isolation.

They then discuss practical strategies for avoiding each one. Information isn't the gap between failure and success—action is.

Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.Episode Recap:Every leader faces temptations that can lead us off track. 1. Certainty: To be a person of faith is to accept that you don't know everything. What does it look like to have faith while also stewarding your resources well?2: Obsession: Even good things can be temptations when we start thinking we need them.Is your life serving your business, or is your business serving your life? To avoid obsession, establish rhythms of self control. 3. Apathy: When our obsessions fail to fulfill us, it's easy to fall into apathy. Practice seeing ordinary tasks as acts of worship. 4. Distraction: We tend to lose focus when we don't hold fast to our vision. You were not created for comfort, you were created for service. 5. Isolation: Healthy growth never occurs without community.  If you're ready to move beyond just gathering information and start executing on what truly matters, Path for Growth's 1-on-1 coaching can help.

Chazal tell us, ישראל מפרנסין לאביהם שבשמים —Yisrael "support" their Father in Heaven. This means that the satisfaction Hashem derives from our good deeds is, so to speak, how we "support" Him. In earlier generations, that support came from the deeds of great tzaddikim—people whose entire lives were devoted to serving Hashem with purity and holiness. Their Torah learning was filled with clarity, their prayers pierced the heavens, and their mitzvot were performed with incredible precision and joy. In those times, Hashem, k'viyachol (so to speak), was being "supported" in abundance. But today, we no longer have such towering tzaddikim. We live in a time when it is very difficult to remain spiritual. Confusion and distraction are everywhere. Temptations are stronger than ever, and spiritual clarity is at an all-time low. So how do we compensate for all the support that has been lost? Hashem has darkened the world spiritually so that even the simplest mitzvah today requires mesirut nefesh —self-sacrifice. In this way, our deeds become incredibly valuable, and we are able to give Hashem the same nachat ruach —the same pleasure—as the tzaddikim of past generations. It is so hard today to stay focused during prayer, yet we come back day after day and try our hardest to concentrate, even if we can manage only a bit of kavanah . It's more difficult than ever to stay pure in thought, speech, and action—and yet we keep trying. We guard our eyes, watch our mouths, and avoid negative influences. It's harder than ever to live with emunah , especially when we don't see the results we're hoping for—but we still believe in Hashem's unending mercy and love. A man said that he doesn't understand why he now struggles with tests that were never an issue earlier in his life. Temptations that never appealed to him before suddenly became major challenges. One possible explanation is that he now needs his deeds to carry more weight—and that weight can only come through intense struggle. A teenager today feels pulled in every direction. It is incredibly difficult to maintain his religious standards. Once upon a time, praying, learning, and guarding oneself from sin were considered routine. Today, they are acts of heroism. Simple deeds done with effort in our generation are more beloved to Hashem than hundreds of effortless mitzvot done in generations past. A mother running a busy household barely has a moment to breathe, yet she still manages to pray, say Tehillim , avoid lashon hara in a group conversation, and faithfully care for her children and husband. These small acts are, k'viyachol , supporting Hashem in the world more than we can possibly imagine. And of course, we are the ultimate beneficiaries of this support. We just passed Tishah B'Av. Hashem is still homeless, and He is begging us to bring Him back home. Soon, He will reveal Himself to the world and reward those who remained loyal to Him. For now, He is still asking for our help. Let us take advantage of the opportunity while we still have it. The challenges in serving Hashem are actually for our benefit. We may not be on the level of the tzaddikim of the past, but we can accomplish the same—perhaps even more. Hashem will never abandon us. The difficulties we face today are His way of drawing even closer to us. Let us strengthen ourselves and recognize the immense value of everything we do. It is well worth the fight. Never say, "It's just one mitzvah," or "It's just one aveirah." Every mitzvah we perform is precious. Every aveirah we avoid is beyond measure.

And I'm not mad about it…because I love Hawaii as much as Pili does.

A little bit of twisting and a little bit of shouting…as well as some gospel rhythms, hand clapping, and some back beat rhythms from the gulf and whole lot more. This week's show will be a free form extravaganza which means there's a bright day ahead, as always. My springboard was an afternoon's listen to the music of David Lindley who, in addition to being a fine musician, he had extraordinary taste in music. We'll hear some gospel tracks from Sister Marie Knight and the Reverend James Cleveland, classic funk and soul from The Temptations, Billy Butler and The Isleys. We'll also spinning up some Wild Tchoupitoulas, Otis Rush and be featuring some three-time track samples and a brand new track from the 30th anniversary release of John Prine's Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings, slated for release in early September. There's a whole lot more to share with everyone out there so it's a good morning to drop in and here a Twist and Shout sample from Top Note going back to 1961…oh yes, as well as a couple David Lindley tracks.

Dealing With Temptations Pastor James Burke Practical Christianity Part 5

In this powerful and practical episode, Pastor Chris and Host Josh Thomas dive deep into one of the biggest stressors for men today—money. But this isn't just a budgeting seminar, it's a spiritual challenge. From biblical foundations of tithing to the modern-day lies men believe about provision and worth, this conversation calls men to live in God's economy, not the world's. Whether you're struggling to make ends meet or just starting to build wealth, this episode is your wake-up call to flip the script and escape the Gold Trap.To find out more about Pastor Chris, follow him on all the social platforms (@ckouba) and to connect with the ministry of United City visit https://unitedcity.church.  Show NotesFollow on Instagram: @stepup.podcastFollow United City: @untdcitychurchConnect with Pastor Chris: http://chriskouba.comMore About United City: https://unitedcity.church/

Papa Was a Rolling Stone wäre beinahe in der Versenkung verschwunden – doch dann zündete der Song plötzlich doch noch. Roland erzählt die Geschichte hinter dem Soul-Klassiker und hat wie immer spannende Coverversionen für Euch dabei.

You have heard it said that there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. I'm here to add a third certainty to life: temptation. Temptation exists everywhere because we still have sin within us. Its power has been broken by our putting our faith in Christ and having the Spirit living inside us. This means that we don't have to sin every time temptation comes along like we did before Christ. But we aren't away from sin's presence yet. And if there is anything we learn about temptation is that it is persistent, usually more so than we are. Joseph's case turned out to be different than a lot of ours. Despite the constant temptation, Joseph, quite impressively, resisted it. One theologian thought that Joesph's ability to rule himself was more impressive than running the country of Egypt (Matthews). How do temptations actually work? How did Joseph resist them so well? How can we learn how to resist temptations better? Do things always go better when you resist temptation? We will try to answer those questions as we look at our two points today: Temptations want your loyalty, yet only God will be loyal to you.

Overcoming Temptations Guest:Zaakira Noor Badat by Radio Islam

The Lord's Prayer is very ancient-future. Why? It's time-bending. It's Body-uniting. It gathers up what has come before us, it focuses our minds on the current state of our situation in Christ, and it casts our thoughts into the future that someday we, the Body of Christ, will sit down at the ultimate eschatological banquet that will never end. Are there some parts of the prayer, though, that confuse or trouble you? Say, the part about God not "leading us into temptation"? Join Pastor Chris for a close look at Luke's account of the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples. The artwork associated with this pocast/sermon (viewable on the Epiclesis website but not in Apple Podcasts) is titled "The Lord's Prayer" and is by Darren Gygi (detail).

Pastor Travis continues the second episode of this series warning us that some temptations use just enough of the truth to appear righteous.

Originally released in 2021, this episode is a masterclass in what it really takes to make it on Broadway and beyond. Jake Goldbas was at the time, the drummer for Dear Evan Hansen.

In this powerful episode, Pastor Chris and Host Josh Thomas unpack a time-tested warning that has echoed across generations of men—and particularly those in leadership and ministry: beware of gold, girls, and glory. Through honest dialogue, biblical insight, and personal stories, they explore how money, relationships, and pride continue to derail even the most well-intentioned men.Drawing from Deuteronomy 17, the conversation reveals how these three temptations manifest subtly through social media, comparison, identity, and unchecked ambition. This episode lays the foundation for a deeper dive into each of these topics in upcoming episodes.To find out more about Pastor Chris, follow him on all the social platforms (@ckouba) and to connect with the ministry of United City visit https://unitedcity.church.  Show NotesFollow on Instagram: @stepup.podcastFollow United City: @untdcitychurchConnect with Pastor Chris: http://chriskouba.comMore About United City: https://unitedcity.church/

This week on Miguel & Holly Uncensored: Sunday Sessions, Miguel sits down with Kaila Symone Crowder. Charlotte-area native and star of the Broadway national tour of Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations, coming to Charlotte this July. Kaila opens up about growing up in Monroe, NC, dreaming of the stage, facing rejection after rejection, and the emotional moment she found out she landed her big break. Now, she's returning home to perform for her community and she shares what this full-circle moment means to her. Her story is one of perseverance, purpose, and proof that sometimes your dreams really do bring you back home.
