It’s hot and muggy outside. Why don’t we take out drinks, and cool out after
the sun sets?
Old
School Wednesday: Summertime Cooldown.
01 – DeBarge – Stay With Me. I was actually thinking
about Notorious B.I.G. and thought I would dig in the crates for the song he sampled
from.
02 – Daryl Hall & John Oates – One on One. Blue eyed soul at it’s
finest.
03 – The Chi-Lites – Give It Away. I was thinking Swing Out Sister’s
influences when I pulled this out the crate.
04 – Switch – Don’t Take My Love Away. Nikki
mentioned that this was one of her favorite B-sides from them, so I pulled it
out.
05 – Stevie Wonder – Rocket Love. I could have done an entire radio blog
of Stevie’s cooldown tracks to represent this summer.
06 – Michael Jackson – It’s The Falling In Love. Remember this cut from
Off The Wall?
07 – Alexander O’neal – Look At Us Now. From his debut abum.
08 – Michael Cooper – Dinner for Two. From Love Is Such A Funny Game.
09 – Kashif – Help Yourself To My Love.
10 – Lionel Richie – Love Will Find a Way. From Can’t Slow Down.
11 – Gwen Guthrie – (They Long To Be) Close To You. A great cover of
a hit by The Carpenters.
12 – Soul II Soul – Missing You. Kym Mazell lights up this track.
13 – Colonel Abrams – Table For Two. He was known mostly for his house
tracks, but this mellow cut was overlooked.
14 – Pebbles – Baby Love. From her debut album.
15 – Portrait – You.
Enjoy.

Okay, I know you ask, “Why doesn’t this bitch LISTEN to the whole radioblog or at least READ all the tracks before she comments???” LOL Ummm… that’s no fun!!! LOL First off, I LOVE Rocket Love… one of my favorites by Stevie. LOVE HIM!!! And the Off the Wall album was the greatest MJ album of all time. Oh and the Michael Cooper cut is cool… but I looooooooooooved “Over and Over.” OMG.. that song… *rifling through boxes to find old cassingles*
