Rob Jones has brought us R&B music back again with his single “Cold”. You can feel the emotion & power coming from his singing. Rob Jones is a blind singer, musician, producer, and songwriter.

Peg is a song by the rock group Steely Dan, first released on the band's 1977 album Aja. The track was released as single in 1977 and reached number 11 on the US Billboard chart in 1978 and number eight on the Cash Box chart. In Canada, "Peg" spent three weeks at number seven during March 1978.

The song is about an aspiring actress with the director/photographer promising her a big break.

Michael McDonald sang backup on the track along with Paul Griffin; Donald Fagen sang lead. I heard Michael McDonald on the track in a video. (Singing) .. Just for example. My voice is totally different of course. Those guys could really harmonize.

There’s music artist by the name of Ben.
And the name of his song is Shenandoah.
He’s always had a soft spot for the classic American folk song. And if you like folk music, you’ll love this song.

“Cross the wide Missouri
Away, we’re bound away
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
And hear your rolling river. …”

Oh can’t you see it in your mind?
Can’t you hear it?

Oh Beautiful song.

Hello I’m GN. You’re listening to the sound of voice. Not radio, but Radiae. Sound Flave Radiae Applis Soul. Radio is so lucky. They got the music and all the record spins. But that’s all right. Sound Flave is a brand new way. Regardless of how it’s done, we’re going to talk about music today. The podcast way. The music commentary way.

Let’s talk about Dionne Warrick’s song written by Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb of The Bee Gees for her 1982 studio album Heartbreaker. The single is the same title as the album.

The song reached the top of the charts around the world and stands as one of Warwick’s biggest career hits selling an estimated 4 million singles worldwide. It made the Top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in January 1983. The track was Dionne’s eighth number one Adult Contemporary hit and reached number 14 on the Soul chart. It was ranked as Billboard magazine's 80th-biggest US hit of 1983. On the UK Singles Chart, the track reached number 2 in November 1982.

I use to wake up to songs like Morning After. The radio would play all night. All night until the morning.

Good sounding days of radio. I’m GN, and you’re listening to Sound Flave Radiae Applis. I never thought I’d be talking to people all over the world through what we call the Internet about music minus playing the records. Sound Flave Radiae is about voice in podcasting. But it can be so much more.

We still can remember music. The best music like Maureen McGovern’s “The Morning After”. A song written for the 1972 film The Poseidon Adventure, winning Best Original Song at the 45th Academy Awards. Following the success, Maureen McGovern recorded a single version that became a No. 1 hit in the US for two weeks during August 1973, with Gold record sales.

In those days, I was just a baby. And every time the radio was turned on, I remember hearing the song, “The Morning After”. Little did I know that Maureen was singing my life then. I remember waking up through the night looking for the sunlight. I heard a DJ say on an old radio Broadcast that it was a nippy little song, “ The Morning After” but that song said plenty.

Hello everyone! This is GN from Radiae Applis Soul. Today’s topic is Dick Griffey - Solar Records.

Dick Griffey was a record producer and music promoter who founded SOLAR Records - Sound of Los Angeles Records". The label played a major role in developing a funk-oriented blend of disco, R&B and soul music during the 1970s and 1980s. As a concert promoter, Griffey arranged bookings for artists such as James Brown, The Sylvers, Aretha Franklin, Jon Gibson, Stevie Wonder and the Jacksons.

SOLAR Records was a record label founded in 1977 by Dick Griffey, reconstituted out of Soul Train Records only two years after it was founded with Soul Train television show host and creator Don Cornelius.

SOLAR began in 1975 as Soul Train Records, founded by Dick Griffey and Soul Train creator Don Cornelius. The first act they signed was an R&B vocal quartet they named The Soul Train Gang who performed one of Soul Train's many themes, Their first album was entitled Don Cornelius Presents The Soul Train Gang. In 1976, their second album, The Soul Train Gang, produced by Philly's Norman Harris, was released. The Gang broke up in 1977.

Griffey reorganized Soul Train Records into the newly founded SOLAR label in late 1977. Griffey and Cornelius remained good friends, and as a result SOLAR maintained close ties to the Soul Train show.

SOLAR was known for several others who enjoyed success, including: The Whispers, Dynasty, Lakeside, Midnight Star, Klymaxx, Calloway, Carrie Lucas, Collage and The Deele — which introduced singer/songwriter/producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and future music executive Antonio "L.A." Reid. Griffey had always believed in giving new talents the opportunity to create and develop their craft, and he was introduced to songwriters/producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis by his A & R rep Dina R. Andrews (Dina Andrews Management Inc) who was the team's first manager, Reggie and Vincent Calloway, and Leon F. Sylvers III.

By 1987, the label began to see its commercial fortunes decline. From 1977 to 1981, SOLAR was distributed by RCA Records, which had also distributed the Soul Train Records label during its two-year run.

Griffey died at the age of 71 on September 24, 2010. He was survived by his wife Carrie Lucas, a singer he married in 1974; four children and five grandchildren. His daughter, Carolyn Griffey, joined Shalamar in 2005. She currently performs as a member.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed today’s episode, Dick Griffey. Thanks for tuning into Radiae Applis a soul on Sound Flave.

Today’s topic is Glass House. I Can’t Be You and You Can’t Be Me.

Hi! I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Radiae ApplisSoul on Sound Flave. Today I’m thinking of The Glass House Band: an assembly of musicians put together by Holland Dozier Holland for their Invictus Record label in 1969. The group was led by Ty Hunter and included Scherrie Payne, sister of soul singer Freda Payne.[2] The group released two albums and had a string of chart hits through 1972, peaking with 1969's "Crumbs Off The Table", but once their popularity had dried up, Invictus dissolved the group.

I like the House of Glads song, I Can’t Be You ( You Can’t Be Me) released in 1970. It was #90 on the U.S. Pop Singles chart & #33 on the U.S. R&B chart.

The song said: The whole world is a stage. We all play different roles. In different bodies we all got different souls. I Can’t Be You and You Can’t Be Me.

Today’s topic: Edwin Starr - War
What is it good for?
Absolutely Nothin’

That’s how Edwin would sing it y’all. Edwin was famous for his Norman Whitfield- produced Motown singles of the 1970s, most notably the number one hit, “War”. Whitfield first produced the song - an obvious anti–Vietnam War statement – with The Temptations as the original vocalists. After Motown began receiving repeated requests to release "War" as a single, Whitfield re-recorded the song with Edwin Starr as the vocalist, with the label deciding to withhold the Temptations' version from single release. Starr's version of "War" was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970, and is not only the most successful and well-known record of his career, but it is also one of the most popular protest songs ever recorded.

Edwin Starr despised war according to the lyrics. He said: Cause it means destruction of innocent lives. War means tears to thousands of mother’s eyes. When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives.

War what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. You’re listening to Sound Flave. Im you’re host, Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening.
