His soulful sounds and marvelous vocals take the listener on a mystical journey to a place where only the soul can go.

There are underlying gospel tones, old school soul rhythms, and neo soul feels all wrapped up in delicious melodies. The man is multi talented and we are so fotunate to welcome him to be a special guest in the basement with JaVonne.

Today we're going to celebrate life, love, and laughter. We celebrate happiness, joy, blessings, dancing, hugging, and yes kissing our loved ones. Today is a day to rejoice and be grateful for the lives we have been blessed with. For those who we have loved and lost and for those we have with us today. Hallelujah and thank you Lord for love and human bonding! Weeping should endure but for a night and peace should be your morning glory! Let's do this early. Meet me at noon for Sunday Evening Shout in the Afternoon. A Gospel Brunch In The Basement with JaVonne!

Hi all!

What are your relationship deal breakers? Do you have deal breakers and do you know how to express them to those you dated? Do you tell others your deal breakers but find yourself compromising anyway? Why do you do that? 

Let's talk about it and hash it out. 

I can't wait to talk to you about it

My message tonight is that God is love and love is for everyone. There is no hatred in Christ. Today is a great day to celebrate life. Life is movement and possibility. Tonight's show is all about the joy and freedom that comes from knowing that God loves us and wants us to be happy. God forgives us, nurtures and protects us. This is a great day to remember that God places heros in our lives, whether that be parents, siblings, teachers, preachers, friends or soldiers! Miracles are happening daily! Let us not forget to rejoice in the Lord and dance like king David!

 Reginald Todd has molded himself into an artist who transitions fluidly from Soulful R&B to Pop to Dance to Jazz and even Country music.   Under the guidance of David Koonen, Reginald Todd created the material that would eventually become his debut EP release on Aardvark Record's label titled "Reginald Todd's Mean House Collection Volume One". "This is a dream come true for me! I am so grateful to David for believing in me and giving me the opportunity I've worked so hard for!" says Reginald. His Duet with DeVonde Williams caught my ear and I'm so excited to speak with him today!

Every R&B lover must know the legendary music of the singing group called DeBarge. And if you know DeBarge, then you know the silky smooth falsetto of Mr. El DeBarge. On this show, we welcome his son, El Debarge Jr aka ELove. Not only does the young man bare a resemblence to his handsome father, but he is coming to us with his first CD release. Yes ladies and gentlemen, there is a new generation of Debarge right here on Brunch on The Basement with JaVonne.

eLove aka El DeBarge Jr., namesake of the famous Motown singer El DeBarge, has released his first solo EP album on Industry Family Entertainment. The EP record is titled The Lion's Den and is a collection of original R&B and modern-soul tracks both written and performed by El DeBarge, Jr. The Lion's Den is an expertly executed, tastefully composed record that is sure to solidify young DeBarge as one of the year's most important up-and-coming R&B artists.

The Lion's Den EP is not his only recent activity, however, as he has also released a new video for his single, "Shawty R U OK." The video, like the track itself, as well as the entirety of DeBarge's material, showcases DeBarge's professional-yet-unpretentious demeanor. The music video, which is expertly directed by Will J. Smith, shows that El is obviously ready for the global arena of sound and stage performance. R&B fans, El DeBarge Jr. fans, and new listeners alike are encouraged to see the complete music video here (and on a myriad other music of websites worldwide):
