This week's episode is all about the history behind last week's artist and song. this week I talk about How the Band the Traits was formed the history behind the recording session of "Treat Her Right", and the musicians on the record, and how the song was written plus the interesting circumstances among the release of the song, and I also talk about what exactly is "Blue Eyed Soul" and the whole history of white musicians covering songs by Black Musicians and how many white musicians in the 50's 60's and 70's tried to sound "Black" even though they were white, and how that also applied to Black Musicians that tried to sound "White". here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

This week's episode is going to be all about a Classic Blue Eyed Soul record from the 60's and one that was used in the recent Quinton Tarantino Movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and one that is pretty iconic! this song has a really cool and coy vibe about it and it's very sexy but not super complicated as far as it's chord progression is concerned but it's VERY sexually suggestive. I would NOT listen to this podcast if your someone that is under the age of 18 or if your a kid or a young teenager. next week's episode will be all about the history behind this song and artist and the city this song was recorded in plus the interesting thing about the time this song was out and on Top 40 radio. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

I'm sorry if this week's episode is coming atcha a little bit late, the quarantine has lately made me feel very distracted and it's been harder for me to get stuff done (I recently got back into watching Classic TV shows from the 60's, and I also have been playing video games again, all of this is due to the lack of social in human interaction I've been experiencing lately, but I know I'm not the only one who's been like that lately). but my schedule has definitely been all over the place lately, but don't worry, I will continue to put out these podcast episodes whenever I can and I promise I won't leave you hanging. this week is all about Motown and in this podcast I offer some very insightful facts about the label and their history and I also talk about the history behind last week's song and artist. this week's episode is also incredibly long, and again, I"m sorry if this episode was too long for you, but the history behind Motown and exactly how in depth they were is quit astonishing and I tried to cover as many aspects of it as I could. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

I decided to keep the the Black Lives Matter theme going for my podcast this week, and throughout he 2 years I've been doing this show, I have covered many facets of Black R&B Music in the 60's, from cities such as Chicago and Philadelphia and Memphis, but slightly on purpose, I have avoided talking about or doing an episode on Motown, until now. And the main reason why I have avoided talking about the label on my podcast is because the history of Motown is pretty much already covered in current Rock and Roll Music history podcasts I'm in direct competition in, but at the same time, I have realized it would be difficult to honor the black songwriters and producers of the 60's without making a single mention of them. But, I feel like there are many great songs that came out of this label that hardly anybody in my age group knows about, so today's episode is on a Motown song but one you wouldn't really expect (it's a song you probably don't know but you'll DEFINITELY know who wrote the song and produced it). So next week I'll go pretty in depth with their history but also offering some little known tidbits about them most people probably don't know. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

In honor of the Black Lives Matter movement going on right now, I'm going to highlight some of my favorite 60's songs/artists written and or recorded by Black Artists.And this one is one of the greatest black power songs from the 60's and it comes from one of the most influential predominately black labels from the 60's (and no, it's not Motown). and this week I'm going to be breaking down one of the label's biggest hit songs by one of their most successful artists, and next week, I'll do a deep dive into the history behind the label and the musicians that played on their songs and just how influential and revolutionary they were. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:
