What was great about my trip to NYC was meeting, hanging out with, and just vibing some really great, talented people. When
I arrived, Christopher David tells me that I’ve got to meet a
great guy by the name of Gordon Chambers.
He proceeded to tell me about how who he’s written for: Brandy, SWV, Whitney Houston,
and that he’s even won a Grammy by penning one of Anita Baker’s greatest songs, I
Apologize. After hearing about his writing skills, I listened to the
album and was instantly impressed- and I demanded an autographed copy.
Visiting him, and listening to him talk about books, music, and the music industry
was nothing compared to when I heard the man sing live. If I had one word to describe
his voice it would be illuminating.
Today’s In
Rotation: 4/15/05 starts off with three of his songs. If it hits
you like it hit me, go
purchase it now.

Good Lawd! Whe the hell is Gordon Chambers, and how can i be down!!!?!
Talk about being on the same vibe, lol. Gordon has definitely been on my radar since a friend played him on a radio show. I adore everything I have heard so far. Great mix…as usual 🙂
You met Gordon Chambers? How sweet is that?
Agrees with Nikki. EJ, you’re just too cool.
Gordon is fabulous, no? Have been knowing him for years, quite soulful, beautiful voice.
His career reminds one of that Illeana Douglas movie based on Carol Kane’s life, Grace of My Heart. The gifted songwriter who had a brillaint voice of his own.
Love the new design.
Wow, what an honor! How cool is that EJ?!
Gordon’s bringing the heat. Thanks for sharing this DJ EJ.
thanks for the luv ej. Im really feeling this guy, thanks for telling us about him. Its kinda like when i heard Eric Roberson for the first time and all that he has written for many artist. I will definitely purchase his album.
look at you meeting someone famous/talented, i will have to get a copy of his cd, thanks for sharing.
looks like you all had a ball from the pictures in your photo gallery.
Hey E.J. What’s happening? Good looking out on your scribes over in Splinter Cell. Sounds like you were pretty stoked in meeting Gordon Chambers. I’m clueless as to who he is, but judging by the reaction here, I’m in the minority and I’ll have to give brotha man a listen or 2. Good job on the enlightenment friend.
