Today's topic on SoundCloud: James Ingram he was a singer songwriter and producer James Ingram made thoughtful and beautiful love songs. I miss his voice and the style he had singing love songs. One of my favorite love songs by James Ingram is One Hundred Ways is a 1981 single released from Quincy Jones's album the dude on A&M records. The song reached number 14 on the US billboard Hot 100 in 1982. It was a bigger Adult Contemporary hit reaching number five in the US and number six in Canada. One Hundred Ways received the 1982 Grammy award for best R&B vocal performance.

After Ingram began his career in 1973, he charted eight top 40 hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart from the early 1980s until the early 1990s, as well as thirteen top 40 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In addition, he charted 20 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart (including two number-ones). He had two number-one singles on the Hot 100: the first, a duet with fellow R&B artist Patti Austin, 1982's "Baby, Come to Me" topped the U.S. pop chart in 1983; "I Don't Have the Heart", which became his second number-one in 1990 was his only number-one as a solo artist. In between these hits he also recorded other songs.

James Ingram passed away in Los Angeles of brain cancer in 2019. He was only 66 years old. Ingram was the best. He let us know there are many ways to express love.

Today on Sound : Dionne’s Déjà Vu.
Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and today I want to talk about the Dionne Warwick song Déjà Vu. It is a 1979 hit ballad written by Isaac Hayes with lyricist Adrienne Anderson, recorded by Dionne Warwick for her album Dionne which Barry Manilow produced. The song won Warwick a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 22nd Grammy Awards.

Issued in November 1979 as the album's second single – following up Warwick's top ten comeback hit "I'll Never Love This Way Again" – "Déjà Vu" rose to number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 25 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart in early 1980.

I remember the song Déjà Vu when it was played many times on the radio.And in the 70s, I don't remember the Grammy Awards airing live or anyone mentioning the Grammys until the 1980s. The Grammys aired live on television for the first time in 1971, but as much as I heard Dionne’s song on the radio, I knew it was a hit. Radio was how I knew.

Faith Hope and Charity was the name of a vocal group from Tampa, Florida.[1] They are best known for their 1975 hit, "To Each His Own". They were also an in-demand group of session singers in New York studios during the 1970s.

The founding members of the group were Zulema Cusseaux, Brenda Hilliard and Al Bailey.
Their song "So Much Love" hit #14 on the Billboard R&B chart[1] and #51 on the Hot 100 in 1970.The subsequent release "Baby Don't Take Your Love" reached #36 R&B and #96 in the Hot 100.

I love Faith Hope and Charity’s song Just One Look in soul, disco style. The band released the cover and it spent four weeks on the UK singles chart reaching number 38 on February 7, 1976. Just One Look is a song written by R&B singers Doris Troy and Gregory Carroll Carroll.

Hello, I'm Gil Nobles and you’re listening to Sound Flave (Radiae Applis Soul). And today I'm going to talk about the Impressions. They were a music group originally in 1958. They had three R&B top five singles in 1974 to 1975. No. 1 Finally Got Myself Together. I'm A Changed Man (which also reach the pop top 20) and the No.3 singles “Same Thing It Took and Sooner or Later.

I want to talk about the single Same Thing It Took. There’s a good message in the song. The lyrics say: The reason a lot of people romances don't last is that they tend to forget so fast Same thing it took to get your baby hooked is gonna take the same thing to keep her.

I agree. Whatever you did the first time, you got to keep doing. Don’t get slack. The song came from the 1975 album titled First Impressions.

There is a lot of good answers in some of the oldies when it comes to relationship and love. Go back and listen to those old great singing groups like the Impressions.

Hi! I'm Gail Nobles & you're listening to Sound Flave (Radiae Applis Soul). The Soul Children was a vocal group who recorded soul music for Stax Records in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

They made a single titled Dont Take My Sunshine. It has a very soulful tune and is a very good song. It sounds like a song about losing someone, and the sunshine is the joy and happiness. The singer is asking his partner not to take it away. If you had your heart broken before, you might can feel and relate to the song.


The song was written by Bobby Newsome and was released in 1972.

Today's topic A-ha. Do you remember the Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha? They were the band that made the single “Take On Me” in the 80s. Their music video for the single was amazing in the United States in October 1985. The single topped billboard Hot 100. The music video made me love the song. The video was a live action pencil sketch animation sequence. The video won 6 awards and was nominated for two others at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.

I love the way Morten Harket (the lead singer of the group) animated hand reached out of the comic book for the lady to take his hand who was reading the comic book in a café. She wasn’t animated until she took his hand to be in the comic book world with him. I thought it was the coolest music video I had ever seen. It only lasted a few minutes, but it told a big awesome story.

The band was in the video too. They were seen playing the keyboard and drums and guitar.

The woman had to escape the animated world and leave Morten Harket. When she was back in the café, she found the comic book throwed away, and she took it with her. She took her Harket with her. Take on me. That is the main idea of the story.

A-ha has released 11 studio albums to date, and topped the charts internationally after their breakthrough hit Take On Me in 1985.

Today's topic: Pale Jay.

Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Sound Flave - Radiae Applis Soul. Today we're going to talk about Pale Jay. He has a new album out titled Bewilderment. For some reason, he doesn't show his face. He wears a Tobaggan looking mask to hide it. So I have no idea what he looks like, but he sounds like a talented person through his music. According to his bio, he began to question the stories he had always live with and re-examined his identity. Bewilderment is his first full length album which strives to find answers to these questions and more. Pale Jay sounds like the kind of person that doesn't quit. I say he’s a warrior.


When I first heard Pale Jay's music, I said wow! I love his style and sound. I love the way he sings. According to Jay's bio, he is a trained jazz vocalist and pianist and he wrote, recorded, and produce all the songs on the album except for ‘By the Lake.’

You can hear his music and see his videos on YouTube. You can check it out his music also on Spotify.

Pale Jay! He’s making soul waves. He’s got soul. He’s a talented warrior. You’ve got to check him out.

Hello, I’m Gail Nobles & you’re listening to Sound Flave Radiae Applis. Do you remember the R&B group Nu Shooz from the 80’s? You may remember them from their hits like “I Can’t Wait” from their second album “Tha’s Right” in 1985. And their song, “Point of No Return” which was the second single taken from the Nu Shooz album Poolside. The single was realeased in 1986.

Valerie Day was the lead singer of the group Nu Shooz in the 80’s along with her husband John Smith.

The music of Nu Shooz was so irresistible. They had a great baseline and beat in the song “I Can’t Wait." I remember a rap song came right after that. The title of the song was Spyder D - I Can’t Wait (To Rock the Mike) Featuring DJ Doc.

“They can’t wait to graduate, but I got to rock the mic. I can’t wait to rock the mic. You know I just can’t wait.” ..

The best days of music. The best days of R&B. The best days of hip hop.

The last I heard Valerie Day and John Smith of Nu Shooz are still rocking. They make time seem like it stood still. The last I heard, the group still tour today, but recently, according to nushoozmusic.com, there are no upcoming tour dates.

They have an album out now called “Bagtown." I love the single, Bagtown.

“Always something going on when you go down to Bagtown.”

That’s a nice single. You’ve got to hear it. You can hear the whole album on nushoozmusic.com. They have more songs.

I’m Gail Nobles. Tune in again next time for more on Sound Flave Radiae Applis. ..

Hi! I’m Gail Nobles on Sound Flave. Bob & Marcia - United We Stand. A cover song released by the Brotherhood of Man in 1970. Bob Andy & Marcia Griffiths were a Jamaican vocal duo. They had a #5 UK hit single in 1970 with “ Young Gifted and Black.” They followed up with "Pied Piper", which peaked at #11 in the UK Singles Chart in 1971. Those two releases spent a total of twenty five weeks in that chart in a period of less than eighteen months. They discontinued their partnership in the mid-1970s, both feeling that it was not bringing them adequate financial reward.

The cover song “United We Stand” was on Bob and Marcia’s album “Young, Gifted & Black” which was released in 1970 on the Trojan records label.

(Singining)

Bob & Marcia sang a beautiful together, United We Stand. …..

Damon Wimbley Stage name: Kool- Rock- Ski He is widely recognized as a former member of the hip-hop singing group, The Fat Boys. Damon is the last man standing of the group. If you’re wondering what Damon Wimbley is doing now, you can get in touch with him on Instagram @legendaryfatboykoolroski. He’s also on Facebook. He has a Facebook page titled Damon Kool Rock Wimbley.

Wimbley had lost weight the last time I saw him. He doesn’t look like the same guy that was with the hip hop group. It has been said that he works out and also follows a healthy diet. The last time I saw Wimbley online he looked great.

I miss Kool-Rock-Ski and his hip-hop buddies, Buff Love and Prince Markie Dee. The trio is widely known for using the human beatbox in their songs. The group opened doors for beatboxers like Biz Markie and Doug E. Fresh. The Fat Boys were one of the first rap groups to release full-length rap albums, along with Run-DMC., Whodini, and Kurtis Blow. The group released seven studio albums, four of which went Gold by RIAA.

I enjoyed listening to their songs like “Can You Feel It”, Fat Boys, All You Can Eat, & The Fat Boys Are Back. The Trio made some really cool rap songs.

I wonder what Kool-Rock-Ski known as Damon Wimbley is doing now. I’m hoping if anything, he is enjoying his life.
