Work Break: "Show And Tell" - Music by Al Wilson

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .

---

1973 was the year that Al Wilson came crashing into my life with his hit single "Show And Tell." Intensely soulful, with full orchestration and elegant orchestration (great bass line, tangy clavinet-like electric keyboard, choral backing, some terrific top-of-the-voice-register modulation built in to the song itself -- rare and very powerful). A perfect soul single, exemplary of the funky but romantic side of the love ballads of the 1070's.

You'll enjoy this perfect single. It is a flawless Top 40 gem.

Please click on the hyperlink or the video player (if it actually shows itself) below and sit back for this one. Slow, deep breaths. Let the music take you -- just for a little while. You'll come back a few minutes later feeling as if you'd taken a vacation with a soul vaccination.

Through it all,
Dazz

It doesn't get better than this. Michael McDonald on his Motown Tribute, singing along with original performers, Ashford and Simpson. Fabulous re-make, with some more surprises to follow in keeping with the Motown motif. The sound quality, arrangements, and harmonies are the best of all time....heavenly. The songs are classics. Pure. Absolute.

Listen and experience heaven's angels of soul lifting you up. Higher and Higher, Jackie Wilson.

Please say goodbye to recently departed Nick Ashford, brilliant singer and songwriter, who passed on at 70 years of age after an amazingly inspiring career of service to all of those of us who loved and lived for great music. Goodbye Nick, and thank you for your limitless generosity in sharing your gifts with Humanity. We will not forget you.


Here you are...

Song For These Times - Marvin Gaye

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .

These are indeed difficult times. Financially. Emotionally. Spiritually. RadioDAZZ has a temporary elixir -- at least a shot of symptomatic relief to offer. No pills. No needles. No transdermal patch. Nothing to inhale. This soul medication is administered aurally. Your ears are the shortest access route for the magic of music to get to your brain. I am always thinking of efficiency.

Marvin Gaye performed this song, "Trouble Man" quite some time ago. It was the theme song for a cheesy "Blacksploitation" movie which I never saw.

The song, in D minor (with a crazy back-and-forth frenzied chord riff between d minor and G, with a sustained D in the bass), is a study (doctoral level!) in cool. The late Marvin's style is completely contemplative, soulful and subtle. It's as if he is quietly and introspectively pleading his case. You might want to listen to it more than once. It's only a matter of time before it grabs you; and after it has, it will give you gooseflesh. It is serious stuff, but it will  pull you out of your world, and into a place that will make you holler (this expression pre-dates 'holla') to come back to earth. Then, oddly enough, you'll find yourself hearing it over and over in your mind, and your walk (even if you are melanin-impaired, as I am), is going to turn out to be a strut.

Listen. Listen again. Let it cool you.
