We hear it all the time - “is (insert artist here) the next Michael Jackson?,” “I wish we had another Whitney Houston.” The question we’re asking all of us is “is it possible to have another artist who are one of one?” Why do we keep searching? Join us for this discussion about artists who can’t be replicated.

In addition, the hosts have seen the documentary of, one of one artist, Little Richard and will discuss it as part of this conversation.

On June 13, 1988, Guy’s eponymous debut album was released, and solidified a shift in the sound of contemporary R&B of the time. Following that release, we entered the golden era of New Jack Swing, and the king was superproducer and artist Teddy Riley. Riley’s emergence as a producer of note in the mid-1980s continued the lineage of Black innovation in recording and songwriting. This show is all about T.R.

During the opening segment, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray catch up on hot topics of the week.

About the #1988Series:

1988 was a banner year for Black music. Hip Hop solidified itself as a chart contenter, New Jack Swing was taking over, and classic albums hit the stores. This year-long series will honor important moments in one of the most important years in Black music history.

The term blue-eyed Soul was coined in the mid-1960s, and referenced white artists that performed Soul and R&B music. The music industry has a long history of repackaging Black music (originally referred to as “race music”) for white consumption - oftentimes with the Black artists making less than their white counterparts for songs they originated.

By the 1970s, white artists such as Teena Marie, Bobby Caldwell, Average White Band and others were making the rounds on Black radio, and Black folks couldn’t get enough. Tune in as we discuss some songs by non-Black folks that Black folks love.

For our opening segments we will be catching up on Queen Latifah’s “All Hail the Queen” making it into the National Recording Registry and DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray will share one album, they think one another should take to a desert island.

April 5, 2023 marked the 50th birthday of musical phenom Pharrell Williams. Whether producing on his own or as part of The Neptunes or performing as a solo act, Pharrell has been part of some of the most interesting and influential music of the last 30 years. An icon of fashion, Williams’ latest role as the Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Creative Director isn’t as much surprising as it is “... of course.” For our main topic this week we’ll be discussing Virgina’s-own Pharrell Williams.

During our opening segment for this show we’ll be revisiting DJ Sir Daniel’s epic party, Prizmatic. We’ll also be discussing the film “Spinning Gold.” Finally we’ll be lifting up the fundraiser for JB’s Record Lounge.
