Podcast appearances and mentions of terence trent d'arby

In 1995 I stepped into the Fillmore in San Francisco and witnessed one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen by a man named Terence Trent D'Arby. Shortly after that concert that man disappeared from the music business or so I thought. Around 8 years ago I did a Google search and found out that he had changed his name and had been making music for years under his new name Sananda Maitreya. I can't even tell you how excited I was to find all this music I hadn't heard. Sananda released a new double album last Friday, March 19th 2021  called Pandora's Playhouse and it great. Sanand was an absolute dream guest and I know you guys are going to dig this Honest conversation on all things Art. Candles Lit DDR

In this week's episode, Mark, Barney and Jasper discuss the role music has played in expressing the pain and rage of Black Americans. Touching on such seminal figures as Nina Simone, Curtis Mayfield and the Last Poets, they listen to clips from a 1976 audio interview with the late Gil Scott-Heron, assessing his militant poetics and the albums he made with Brian Jackson. From there, the RBP team considers interviews with Public Enemy's Chuck D in 1992 and, from 2015, Kendrick Lamar. They also discuss a 1971 piece about James Brown by pioneering Black "rock critic" Vernon Gibbs.  Mark talks us through such highlights of the week's new additions to the RBP library — Philip Elwood's live review of Judy Garland at San Carlos' Circle Star, Roy Carr's interview with New Orleans piano great Professor Longhair, Michael Goldberg's salute to New York electro-punk duo Suicide and David Toop's tribute to '60s pop Svengali Larry Parnes. Barney cites a timely 2011 interview with Harry Belafonte, wherein the singer-actor reflects on his civil-rights activism, after which Jasper wraps up matters by looking at pieces about the boundary-pushing Peaches, the return of Neneh Cherry and the bizarre artist known formerly as Terence Trent D'Arby.  The Rock's Backpages podcast is part of the Pantheon podcast network.

Born Keith Douglas Sweat, he was raised in Harlem and by the time he was 14 he had performed at various nightclubs in and around New York City. He graduated from the City College of New York with a BS degree in ‘communications’, after which he worked for a brief period as a successful brokerage assistant in a Wall Street firm. Despite a prosperous career at the Wall Street, he chose to pursue his passion for music and began writing songs and tried selling them to various record labels. In 1975, he began his career in music as a member of the Harlem based band called the ‘Jamilah’. In 1984, he left ‘Jamilah’ in order to begin a solo career and subsequently sang at various nightclubs in New York. He was quickly noticed and given an opportunity to record an independent album for ‘Stadium Records’. He recorded ‘My Mind Is Made Up’ for the ‘Stadium Records’ and he was also credited as the co-writer and co-producer of ‘You Are the One for Me’. On November 25, 1987 his debut solo album ‘Make It Last Forever’ was released, which sold three million copies. The biggest hit from this album was the song that inaugurated the new jack swing era "I Want Her"   83.    Bobby Brown (@ 19 yrs. old): Brown changed producers for this album and worked extensively with hit-making songwriting and production duo Babyface and L.A. Reid. Alex Henderson of AllMusic wrote: “Don't Be Cruel was to Bobby Brown what Control was to Janet Jackson – a tougher, more aggressive project that shed his "bubblegum" image altogether and brought him to a new artistic and commercial plateau. With "My Prerogative" and the title song, Brown became a leader of new jack swing”   84.    Al B. Sure!(@ 20 yrs. old): During the late '80s, Al B. Sure! enjoyed a brief run as one of new jack swing's most popular romantic singers. Born Al Brown in Boston, he grew up in Mount Vernon, NY, listening to smooth crooners like Marvin Gaye and Johnny Mathis; he later became interested in rap and added that skill to his vocal repertoire. At age ten, he and a friend performed on a song written by Ellie Greenwich for the soundtrack of Sesame Street, and later he began writing songs with his cousin Kyle West. While in high school (where he quarterbacked the football team), he became friends with Edward Ferrell, aka DJ Eddie F, who was working with rapper Heavy D at the time. Eddie F introduced the still-teenaged Al B. Sure! to Heavy D's manager/Uptown label head Andre Harrell, who had him sing backing vocals on several Heavy D tracks and helped him get a deal with Warner Brothers. In 1987, Al was selected by Quincy Jones as the first winner of the Sony Innovators Talent Search. He collaborated with Jones on various projects, most notably the platinum single “The Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite)” from Jones’ double-platinum-certified album Back on the Block. On this hit, he was one of a quartet with El DeBarge, Barry White, and James Ingram. His debut album of 1988 In Effect Mode topped the Billboard R&B chart for seven consecutive weeks, selling more than two million copies.   85.    Open Comments:   86.    Question: Al B. Said “There’s a generation of women starving to be told I love you again” What happened?! Who is bringing it back?   87.    Movie Scene: Coming to America   88.    Trailer:   89.    The Hollywood Reporter's original review: “Eddie Murphy's latest Coming to America is likely to leave the wreath-bearers, the frantic faithful, the crowd herders and the legions of line-waiters in numbed, disbelieving disappointment…Distressingly, the film flops into the blandest of sitcom formats, never realizing its regal potential...Coming to America is the filmic equivalent of using a Maserati to go to the corner grocery store…Yes, there are some crazy pieces crammed into America — Murphy and Hall in their multi-roles do a running black barbershop bit that is good and nuts — but this comedy is generally tame and sappy…The plot itself is pathetic…No getting around it, while the script completely misses as a social satire, the writers have botched the romance part of America as well…Rivaling the inept screenplay is John Landis' cornball direction, which includes a TV season's worth of reactive cutaways to an ugly poodle…On a production level, at least, Coming to America gets top marks. — Duane Byrge originally published on June 24, 1988.   90.    Open Comments:   91.    Question: Is this Eddie’s best movie?

In August 2018 Billboard ranked Jody Watley as one of the top female artists of all-time, at number 53. Jody's Early career1977–1984: Soul Train and ShalamarWatley was born in Chicago, Illinois and made her first stage appearance at 8 years old with family friend and godfather Jackie Wilson. (CLIP JACKIE WILSON) She got her entertainment start on the TV dance show Soul Train at the age of 14. Documented by Ebony magazine in 1977 as a part of "The New Generation," Jody Watley was one of the most popular dancers on the show and recognized as a trendsetter for her style and dance moves. As standouts on the television show, Watley and fellow Soul Train dancer Jeffrey Daniel were selected to join Gary Mumford and become original members of the R&B group Shalamar, which was created by soul trains Don Cornelius. (Mumford was shortly replaced by Gerald Brown, and Brown himself was soon replaced by Howard Hewett as lead vocalist).  So The lineup now in shalamar of Hewett, Watley, and Daniel would be the most successful. Jody Watley remained with Shalamar from 1977 to 1983. In that time, The trio released several albums and scored several hits including the US Top 20 "Dead Giveaway", and the R&B hits "The Second Time Around", "For The Lover In You", and "A Night To Remember". A show exclusively for Shalamar up in a few weeks so I didn't mean to tease you their wit den jammies but few weeks we'll hook up with shalamars music..  after all of this and Because of conflicts within the group, disagreements about the artistic direction of Shalamar with Dick Griffey, and lack of payment from Solar Records, Jody Watley finally leaves the group in 1983, prior to the release of Shalamars "The Look" album. Here we are in post Shalamar mode for Jody watley as she moved to England, and while there, she recorded a guest vocal with British Jamaican roots reggae group Musical Youth for their album, Different Style!.(clip) remember them,  She also recorded with Gary Langan, Anne Dudley and J.J Jeczalik (who later became Art of Noise).(clip)  She had a brief stint with Phonogram Records where two singles were released (in the UK, Europe and Australia – though crucially not America) under the moniker "Jody" (no second name), "Where the Boys Are" and "Girls Night Out". Also during this era, and after departing the group, she took part in Bob Geldof's Band Aid recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas", which included Bono, Boy George, Sting, George Michael, Phil Collins, Status Quo, Paul Weller, Bananarama and other prominent UK artists. After two and a half years in England, Watley returned to America and secured a recording deal with MCA Records, eager to establish her own identity.[29] Her debut solo studio album, titled Jody Watley, was released in March 1987, and she co-wrote six of the album's nine songs. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Watley would say that she wanted to showcase her voice against "really funky hard dance tracks."[29] The album's lead single, "Looking for a New Love", became a hit and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[30] The album peaked at number ten on the US Billboard 200, number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and sold 2 million copies in the United States and a total of 4 million copies worldwide. It produced five uptempo dance and R&B singles that charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with three peaking within the top-ten: The first being "Looking for a New Love"  was a #2 hit for Jody and was released in January 1987 as the first single from her debut album. The song became one of the biggest pop and R&B singles of 1987. The single hit number two for four consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1987 and spent four weeks at number-one on the Billboard R&B chart.[1] It is the only single between 1985 and 1990 in the United States to have spent four weeks in the runner-up position and not have reached the number one. The single was kept out of the top spot of the Hot 100 by Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" and U2's "With or Without You", and would itself keep Club Nouveau's Hot 100 number-one single "Lean on Me" out of the top spot of the R&B chart. It ranked number 16 on Billboard's year-end chart for 1987. The song also reached number-one on the RPM Singles Chart in Canada. In 1988 the song was nominated for two Soul Train Music Awards for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video, and Best R&B/Soul Single, Female. She was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. The single lookin for a new love came about  While listening to a tape of instrumental tracks given to her by producer André Cymone, Watley reflected on a recent sour romantic breakup. Fusing her own feelings of "I'll show you" with the feel of the track, Watley came up with the basic premise of "Looking for a New Love." The released record is the eight-track demo of the song; that way the emotional urgency of Watley's vocal was still intact. One of the song's key phrases became a popular saying: "Hasta la vista, baby." It wound up on innumerable answering machines and was used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day (see Hasta la vista, baby). This is what the kids now days would call a banger. Jody wattle lookin for new love on this weeks old school rewind podcast CLIP Lookin for a new love We are tracking jody watleys hits on the Old School rewind  I'm Aaron from the 35 acres and a microphone podcast farm..  The three most noted singles for jody chart wise were that you just heard lookin for a new love   next up a song called still a thrill got to #56 on the top 100. Higher at the r&b radio stations While the #56 (US chart) peaking "Still a Thrill" didn't necessarily match the pop chart success of its blockbuster predecessor, it was, however, a major hit on both the R&B and dance charts in 1987. Watley employed a deep lower register on this uptempo R&B / dance song, which she co-wrote. It was produced by Andre Cymone and David Z. There have been CoversFrom Indie Neo-soulsters, Soulscream, on their 2001 album, Prototype @lpha1 2001 Neophunk. Synth-pop artist, Matthew Duffy, covered "Still a Thrill" on his album, Here I Come.

"Don't You Want Me" was a huge hit in the United States, reaching position number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one and three on the Dance Club Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, respectively. Watley's previous single, "Still a Thrill," fared well in dance and R&B markets,  but less-so in the mainstream. This is the race thing I bring up a lot on this show. It was a lil too much for the radio.  That was enough  and prompted her label, MCA Records, to go in a more pop-friendly direction. "Don't You Want Me" was one of the biggest crossover singles for the year 1987, reaching the top-ten of the Billboard pop and R&B charts. The single was also popular in nightclubs, reaching the top spot of the Billboard dance chart.Some more chart chatter for you Chart performance"Don't You Want Me" landed in the Top 40 of the US Billboard Hot 100 the week of October 24, 1987, advancing from number 56 to 40.

It peaked at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100 but did find success on the Dance Club Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, where it reached numbers eight and eleven, respectively. The song was produced by Patrick Leonard and was co-written by Gardner Cole, both of whom had been involved with Madonna's 1986 album, True Blue. The accompanying black and white music video for "Most of All" was directed by famous Hollywood director David Fincher.   David fincher (thinking) where have I heard that name before.. David fincher.  Oh I know do you watch jimmy Fallon, when Nicole Kidman went on and said that she went around Jimmy a couple of times and sort of liked him and Fallon knew nothing of it..  the mutual friend is David finches   that would make sense. I'm pondering out loud sorry. That isn't confirmed either but. I think that was that guys name For me. the songs kept getting better and I thought the melody of most of all and the hook were incredible. This was a real artist.   (CLIP) most of all At the 30th Annual Grammy Awards of 1988, Watley won the award for Best New Artist, and was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. That same year, she also received nominations for four MTV Video Music Awards and three Soul Train Awards.  Heres a note.  After Shalamar she had two singles released under the name of "Jody", without her last name even though adverts in UK pop magazine, Smash Hits, mentioned that she was "Formerly of Shalamar". This "technicality" (no second name), allowed her controversially to be considered a "New Artist" at the Grammy's, beating Breakfast Club, Cutting Crew, Terence Trent D'Arby and Swing Out Sister. Shortly after winning the Grammy, Watley would be featured in Harper's Bazaar magazine photographed by Francesco Scavullo. Things than became "LARGER THAN LIFE" for Jody watley. that is a play on words a bit as it is the name of jody's next album or sophomore effort.  In the spring of 1989, Watley released her second studio album, Larger than Life, co-writing eleven of the album’s twelve songs. The album sold over 4 million copies worldwide, reaching number 16 on the Billboard 200, and produced four singles: "Real Love" (US #2, #1 R&B, #2 Dance, UK #31), a Gold-certificated single and her first Top 40 UK single since "Looking for a New Love" in 1987;  "Friends" featuring Eric B. & Rakim, (US #9, #3 R&B, #7 Dance, UK #21); and "Everything" (US #4, #3 R&B), her first ballad released as a single. The album's fourth and final single, "Precious Love", was a minor hit, peaking at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100.[33] "Friends" is notable for being the first multi-format hit single to include the formula of a pop star featuring a guest rapper with the custom full 16-bar verses and bridge concept, and distinguishable from the rap "Intro" by Melle Mel on Chaka Khan's notable cover of Prince's song "I Feel for You". The successful "Friends" formula would become a mainstay formula in commercial pop music and was added as a category at the Grammy's under Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration in 2002. During the summer of 1989, the "Real Love" video, directed by famous Hollywood director David Fincher, was nominated for seven MTV Video Music Awards including Breakthrough Video, Best Art Direction, Best Dance Video and Best Female Video at the 1989 ceremony. That record was held until Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson's video "Scream" received 11 VMA nominations in 1995. The next year, she was nominated for two Soul Train Awards, an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Female Artist, and a Narm Award for Best Selling R&B Female Album. While riding high on her Larger Than Life World Tour, a remix album, titled You Wanna Dance with Me?, was released in October 1989 and achieved Gold status in America. 1989 also saw Watley featured in Harper’s Bazaar "Ten Most Beautiful Women" issue, photographed by Matthew Rolston. That same year Watley appeared on the cover of the Japanese high fashion magazine SPUR for its debut issue.[37] Watley released the million selling "Dance to Fitness" a first for an African-American woman and artist.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. This is a collection of highlights from shows thirty one to thirty six, featuring Justin Lewis on Neither Fish Nor Flesh by Terence Trent D'Arby, Mark Thompson on Libby's Moonshine, Stephen Brotherstone and Dave Lawrence on The Lone Ranger by Quantum Jump, Stephen O'Brien on Old Fashioned Christmas by Anne Charleston and Ian Smith, Garreth F. Hirons on The Ghosts Of Oxford Street, Vikki Gregorich and Jeff Lewis on The Secret Cabaret, Emma Burnell on Melody Radio and Paul Cornell on Terry Wogan's insistence on playing records that resolutely refused to become hits. Along the way we'll be finding out what happens when you continually ask a radio station that doesn't have Ghostbusters to play Ghostbusters, revisiting the forgotten link between Rupert And The Frog Song and Cannibal Holocaust, debating the identity of 'soft lad who stood on a pole', celebrating the career of 'DJ Ron', revealing how to avoid getting mistaken for an extra on Neighbours, singing a medley of all two and a half records owned by Radio Merseyside, and trying not to think about what ‘Dog Of Finland’ might entail. Plus there's some little-heard extra bits of chat with Emma, Stephen and Mark as well as something you might not have heard before - Tim on Perfect Night In talking to Neil Perryman about the BBC edits of The Monkees...

Climb aboard your rental Penny-farthing and get ready to see the sites because Bobby, Ann and Mike are somehow back together again unsupervised, and this tour isn’t stopping until we find an Arby’s, an L’RB’s, or a Terence Trent D'Arby. We’ll be making stops to hear about Mike’s pro-cheese politics, what has Ann fired up (note: not fire’d up) about Blaze Pizza, and why Bobby is allowed to say whatever he wants about cultural appropriation. Also, non-expert bong talk, suit-and-shoe etiquette, “Adonis” Morissette, the fine line between feeding and “foie gras-ing,” and some talk of last week’s TBTL. Please don’t DM us on Twitter to be on your podcast.*   (*We’re really more active on Facebook, just message us there.)

It's the 30th anniversary of the album that effectively derailed Terence Trent D'Arby after he had been among the world's hottest artists. Neil and Jason discuss the American's patchy and colourful career.  

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is writer and editor Justin Lewis, who's hoping that while you may not know what night is bins, you might remember Neither Fish Nor Flesh by Terence Trent D'Arby, Radio 4's 'dangerous' comedy show In One Ear, the London Symphony Orchestra's version of Tommy, HTV children's programme Orbit, Radio 2 quiz show Pop Score, and The Welsh-Language Dubbed Version Of Trumpton. Along the way we'll be finding out how to tell if there's some comedy coming up (even if it's Fresh Fields), who would win out of two giant robot dinosaur things and an otter, the correct manner in which to formally address one of The Chippendales, and what the theme music from William Orbit's sitcom would have sounded like.

The Staves surprise Richard in the show today, and Tobin is disappointed with today's cover shot. To cheer himself up, he bookends the show with St Paul & The Broken Bones. Why not subscribe to our show today? You can easily do this here.   Track Listing I'm Torn Up St. Paul & The Broken Bones Facing West The Staves Sweet Home Alabama Rocking Free Yes McAlmont & Butler Resurrection Terence Trent D'Arby Rhythm & Blues Alibi Gomez Is It Me St. Paul & The Broken Bones Music from 4 decades peppers this show, including a brilliant cover of Sweet Home Alabama which seems to have passed Tobin by. Poor lad just doesn't like the song at all, although he could definitely admire the virtuosity of the guitar playing. At one point there are 4 guitars all going at the tune. Personally, I think this is as good as the original song. I was surprised by a track that wasn't planned in the pre-production notes of the show. It certainly is very different to the St Paul & The Broken Bones track that preceded it. Facing West by The Staves. However, it is quite delightful. Sweet vocal harmonies skip lightly over a subtle and tuneful acoustic backdrop. This is all brought together in their home of Nebraska … sorry, I meant Watford! It certainly belies its birth town and takes the listener on a musical adventure far from home. Because of their talent we'll showcase some more from The Staves in future episodes. The Transfiguration of Terence Trent D'Arby Terence Trent D'Arby enjoyed success as a boxer before finding fame as a musician, in fact winning the Florida Golden Gloves Lightweight Championship in 1980. He later turned down a place at a US Boxing School and joined the US Army. He was later ultimately formerly court-martialed and dishonourably discharged after going AWOL whilst serving in Germany. TTD then released his first studio album in 1987, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby. He held a very high opinion of this recording, indeed citing it as the most important album since the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper. Terence Trent D'Arby changed his name in 1995 to Sananda Maitreya, which relates to a series of dreams he had in 1995. The name means ‘rebirth’ in Sanskrit, though he asserts it does not have any religious affiliations. Six years later he completed his full transfiguration by legally changing his name. After this Sananda Maitreya explained "Terence Trent D'Arby was dead ... he watched his suffering as he died a noble death. After intense pain, I meditated for a new spirit, a new will, a new identity." the most important album since the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper A conceptual masterpiece, superbly arranged and thrillingly executed McAlmont & Butler provided the track Yes for this episode and as Tobin eluded to, both David McAlmont and Bernard Butler have indeed tasted success in their own right. David McAlmont was one-half of the duo Thieves with Saul Freeman and Butler as the guitarist with indie rockers Suede. The British Hit Singles and Albums described Yes as "a conceptual masterpiece, superbly arranged and thrillingly executed". I also eloquently summarised Yes as "alright". In 2014 Butler organised a show at London's infamous Unity Chapel which sold out in minutes prompting him to quickly organise a second show just down the road at Islington's Assembly Hall which sold out equally as fast. What a shame I didn't manage to get tickets! In a future episode, we have an awesome cover by Butler. St Paul & The Broken Bones

On this week's episode of Stand and Deliver: A JoJo Podcast, we discuss RoboCop 2.   [Music used: Intro -- Country Sweat by Oingo Boingo (from Boingo Alive) | Outro -- Wishing Well by Terence Trent D'Arby]

May 1993 Album Anniversaries

Sananda Maitreya has quite a story to tell. After scoring a bunch of hit songs ("Wishing Well", "Sign Your Name", "Delicate") and hit records with his former persona Terence Trent D'Arby, in 1995 he moved to Europe, changed his name and embarked on a career in "post-millennium rock", which is the title he gives to the many records he's put out since then under the Sananda Maitreya moniker. Last year he released the expansive, three-disc set Prometheus & Pandora and has recently released another excellent single from it called "The Birds Are Singing". We go very deep in this conversation about the name change, his thoughts on the deaths of many of his friends like Prince and Tom Petty, and how he may finally be warming to merging the music of his early career with what he's done the last 23 years. He's also about the embark on an Italian tour (and possibly more). Here's the full story!   http://www.sanandamaitreya.com
