After not being around for a while, it took a while to get over this hump of creating one that would appeal to the masses. I’m holding a positive light on this podcast.  It pays homage to those who are gone but not forgotten, in particular Vesta and Belitta Woods from Brainstorm. Both were amazing vocalists who were, in my opinion, under-appreciated.  I’ll continue to feature more tracks from those two in upcoming ‘casts.

Favorites from Donald Byrd (with a little help from the Mizell Brothers), Vanessa Williams (and yes, that is Babyface’s vocals AND acoustic guitar you hear on this fantastic track),  Mac Band, Cameo,  and Tony! Toni! Tone are featured.  In addition, classics from Jackson 5 and The Sylveers precede one of my many favorite tracks from Brainstorm, the aptly titled Brand New Day.    Have requests?

This is a continuation from Michel Franks – One, and has been in the podcast feed for about 2 months or so, and I apologize for not officially posting it until now.  It’s literally impossible to say which are my favorite ones from her, but I’m hoping you enjoy it as much as I did.  Shoutouts go to Therea, Lissa, Alethea and  DarrenKeith.  Have requests?

I have to admit, this was a lot of  work (and a lot of fun) to put together.   Theresa and I spent a lot of time exploring both sides of love, much like the Lost and Found.  Here’s our exchange in just how to present this:

Although Valentines Day is normally thought of as the beginning and continuation of love, we wanted to address both sides of love, love that has been lost and the start (and continuance) of love.  Look out for the Found side of love, coming soon.  Many thanks to Theresa again for helping put this together.
