Podcast appearances and mentions of zelma davis

Martha Wash has the voice, but she never had the look, and she was okay with that. God gave her the gift to create amazing sound and shared almost freely. It was one day while channel surfing that Ms Martha learned that she was being exploited, and that the world was being lied to. Ms Martha was the voice behind Black Box and C+C Music Factory, and in both of groups Ms Martha was impersonated. In Black Box by Katrin Quinol and in C+C by Zelma Davis. Rapper Freedom Williams said that he could find at least ten women to sing in place of Martha Wash, but the courts didn't thinks so. Martha sued both Black Box, C+C Music Factory and the labels behind them. And Martha Wash's wins are not only a testament, her wins also changed legislation for future artists. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/strickland-media-group-in/message

“Girlfriend, you know what I am talkin' about.” This is just a little afternoon dance set filled with some fun surprises. I consider a few of these tracks some of my all-time favorites. They are oldies but goodies. You know… tracks that you never actually play live and you are never sure quite why. So rather than hoarding these gems all to myself, I wove them into this fun, high energy set. Specifically, I am referring to Roger Sanchez's “Lost,” Black Legend's “Trouble with Me,” Steps' “One for Sorrow,” and….of course….the diamond of them all, Zelma Davis' “Power” mixed like only Junior Vasquez can. Have fun with this one! “I know you're somewhere else right now, loving someone else no doubt.” 1) Whitney Houston - I Look To You - DJ Paulo vs Ridney & James Talk 2) That Kid Chris - The African - Jungle Groove Mix 3) David Sea - Morpheus - Original Mix 4) Andre Harris - Release Yourself - VOX Mix (209/6) 5) Ralf Falcon & J Nitti - Sunday Morning - Whateva - DMS12 E Edgar V Remix 6) Roger Sanchez - Lost - Tom De Neffs Vocal Mix 7) Takeshi - Couldn't Be Better - Original Mix 8) Ralphi Rosario - Funk It - Original Mix 9) That Kid Chris feat Chris Staropoli - Girlfriend - Original Mix 10) Zelma Davis - Power - Junior Vasquez Mix 11) Koe - What A Feeling - Original Mix 12) Black Legend - You See the Trouble with Me - DJ Matt House Edit 13) Steps - One For Sorrow - Tony Moran Mix

It's about time to close another chapter of our lives and in celebration, I've made another year-end mix of some of my favorite dance songs of 2009. My initial list of my personal favorites were about 150 songs, so this -- by far -- is not all or in any particular order of how much I liked them. As with previous year's mixes, I arranged this as though I was at a fabulous New Year's Eve party. In this year's, midnight falls at 2:41.

It's that time of year again here in Dallas. In anticipation, I wanted to make the first mix I have ever done specifically for Pride. Normally with my mixes, I like to keep all the most as recent as possible. For this one -- being my first Pride-centric mix, I decided to break my own rules and sprinkle some older songs that always make me think of Pride. Some of these are even new remakes/remixes of older uplifting classics as well. I will say that I did not use any mix of a song I have used before. I know listening to it over the last week or so has really got me in the mood and happy for our Pride, so here's hoping it may make you smile as well. :-) Song listing: Pepper MaShay - Freeway Of Love (Steely M. & Cary August Club Mix)Orienta-Rhythm & Michelle Weeks - Peace (Orienta-Rhythm Deeper Mix)Michelle Weeks & Dawn Tallman feat. Laquana Jones - We're Gonna Make It (Benzo Original Mix)Deep Influence feat. Zelma Davis - Rise (Mark Picchiotti Classic Vocal Mix)Peyton - Higher Place (7th Heaven Remix)Sphinx feat. Sabrina Johnston - What Hope Have I (7th Heaven Mirrorball Mix)Scott Yahney - Happy Together (NY Discotek Remix)Erika Jayne - Give You Everything (Moto Blanco Club Mix)Yanou - Sun Is Shining 2k9 (House Extended Mix)Whitney Houston - Million Dollar Bill (Freemasons Club Mix)Kristine W - Be Alright (Boris Blind Faith Club Mix)DJ Bill Bennett feat. Abigail - Forever Young (DJ Bill Bennett and Pete Masitti's Decadance Club Mix)Abigail - Let The Joy Rise (Thunderpuss 2000 Club Mix)Rosabel feat.

After finishing the Sun mix, I was definitely ready to dive into something darker and harder. Don't let the first part of this mix fool you -- it does start off somewhat smoother -- it is still not for the weak. I just had to ease you into it. Ha. I didn't comment on any specific tracks on the last mix (save Viola's song), but I do want to bring a few to your attention on this one. To start, there are a number of new remixes/remakes of oldies but goodies on here. I didn't plan it that way on purpose. If they were good at one point, there must have been a reason. I hope those that remember the originals will enjoy these new takes on them. One song that has really been under the dance radar (although it did appear on Billboard a few weeks) is Valeriya -- Wild (Bimbo Jones Vocal Mix). Yeah. I have worked out to this song a number of times over the last few weeks and it just makes me, well, Wild (hardy har har). It just has so much energy. Another one, including the back-story... DJ Demarko feat. Heather Leigh West - Drop A House (Razor & Guido Remix). Many will remember the song by The Tamperer feat. Maya - Feel It from 1998. What you may not know is Maya didn't sing that song at all. Heather, however, did sing it a few years earlier with Urban Discharge in 1994. She, according to an interview, did not even know this (what I will call) "remix" existed until a friend played it off a dance mix CD. They essentially lied that it was Maya's vocals. There was even a video to their song, with Maya lip synching Heather's (very different than Maya's) voice. Long story short, in order to essentially prove once and for all that it was her vocals, she recently re-recorded the song (which she sounds exactly the same). I intro it with a remake of The Jacksons - Can You Feel It, as The Tamperer song sampled it extensively in their "remix". The Razor & Guido remix actually use a very similar backbeat as well. I've been waiting to put Can You Feel It and Drop a House together for years and have finally got my chance. I will say that The Tamperer "remix" does bring back so many memories of my coming out, so this song does share a special place in my heart (even if it's lyrics are, ironically, very bitter). :-) One last comment regarding Safire - Exotique (Mike Rizzo Funk Generation Club Mix)... I love a lot of Mike's remixes, although they would typically not appear where I use it, at the particular point of this kind of mix (or perhaps in this kind of mix at all). This remix, however, just grabbed me out of nowhere. There is something about the smooth chord progressions and subtle building that just give me chills every time I listen. I've already e-mailed him to see if there may be a long, 12-minute mix I don't know about. If I were at a party, I would love it to be played at the exact point where I placed it. Love it. I will have to say, probably my favorite song on the entire mix. Song listing: The Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Guetta (David Guetta's Electro Hop Remix)LaKisha Jones - Let's Go Celebrate (Jody den Broeder Remix)Flash Republic - Twister (Bellatrax Mix)Funkerman feat. Ifan - Remember (Extended Mix)Carefree - Broken Strings (Sebo Reed Electro Mix)Pet Shop Boys - Love Etc (Pet Shop Boys Dub)Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) 2009 (Djs from Mars Red Planet Extended Remix)Electro Kings - Can You Feel It (Extended Chris's Intro Edit)DJ Demarko feat.
