01- Stacy Lattisaw - Dynamite!
02- The Jacksons - Lovely One
03- T.S. Monk - Bon Bon Vie
04- George Benson - Give Me the Night
05- BT Express - Do It Till You're Satisfied
06- Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen
07- Swing Out Sister - Surrender
08- Ingram - Mi Sabrina Tequana (My Sister's Daughter)
09- Kenny G - Do Me Right
10- Gwen Guthrie - Padlock
11- Joyce Sims - Come into My Life
12- S.O.S. Band - No One's Gonna Love You
13- 21st Century - Remember the Rain
14- Johnny Guitar Watson - We're No Exception
15- Stevie Wonder - Rocket Love
The grooves of Stacy Lattisaw and The Jacksons, which are a staple, make way to T.S. Monk. Bon Bon Vie slides right into George Benson's Give Me The Night, a Quincy Jones production. BT Express' Do It Til You're Satisfied is a nice little groove, paving the way for Steely Dan and Swing Out Sister.
The Ingram Family (shortened as simply Ingram while recording), has a great instrumental, Mi Sabrina Tequana (My Sister's Daughter). Kenny G surfaces on this mix with Do Me Right, paving the way for Gwen Guthrie, Joyce Sims, and the SOS Band.
A big discussion while I was in Chicago last weekend brought 21st Century's Remember The Rain to the surface, while Belve worked it out for me and requested We're No Exception, with T. Grundy lending a hand when I needed. I then end the set with a Stevie classic, Rocket Love.
There's more in the podcast of course , so if you're inclined, take a listen. Hope you enjoy. For those who'd like to subscribe to these podcasts, enter this link manually into iTunes. If you have requests, send an email to ejflavors [@] gmail [.] com. Take it light!

13- Stylistics - Hurry Up This Way Again
14- War - Baby It's Cold Outside
Ohio Players came via a request from luv Sels and I was happy to oblige. The Brothers Johnson is followed by one of my favorite instrumentals produced by Jam and Lewis, Keep Your Eye On Me. Michael's Rock With You and Steely Dan's Do It Again are staples, which lead into Basia's New Day For You from her eponymous CD.
I'm continuing the request of Swing Out Sister and Jermaine Jackson, thanks to Big La, with Notgonnachange and You Like Me, Don't You. Earth Wind and Fire's Evil and Angela Bofill's Under The Moon and Over The Sky are followed by Ephraim's most popular cut, Drowning In Your Eyes. This is concluded with the Stylistics and War's tracks, Hurry Up This Way Again and Baby It's Cold Outside.
