Betty Carter...Legendary Jazz Great (RIP)...she is one of my Sunday Afternoon "go to" artists...this clip has some great choreography..

SOUNDS............

 

[eastofeden]

Herbie Hancock and Bettye LaVette (two of the best artists alive IMO) ...Do You Love Me Still (love this song)...A Tribute to Chaka Khan ....of course I am gonna love it....brought a tear to Chaka's eyes....I love when someone pays proper respect to Chaka Khan....

 

[eastofeden]

Chris Botti and Sy Smith...The Look of Love...a classic. Botti and Smith do it justice...

Teena Marie (RIP)...she did a lot of great stuff but this was one of her first...and my favorite...

 

[eastofeden]

...and Rick James...I lost my Rick James post...maybe my sex story was too nasty

I liked his first LP and single the best but I liked everything else he ever did too.....I was dancing to this by myself when it first came out and I met the hottest fuck of my life...he came up to me and invaded my space and was really arrogant ...I smacked him away from me because he pissed me off but that just made him push harder...and push harder he did

You and I

and then Give It To Me baby...one of my favorite dance songs and I never got tired of hearing it...

 

[eastofeden]

My other favorite artist next to Chaka Khan...Stevie Wonder. The man is a genius...he writes/produces/plays/performs...and he is blind.

It would take pages to pay tribute to him properly so I will just do five...

My favorite song ever written....

AS

ANOTHER STAR

DO I DO

LIVING FOR THE CITY

DON'T YOU WORRY 'BOUT A THING

I´m much into Motown/Northern Soul, old jazz stuff. Also, new stuff, like Oceana, Amy Winehouse, Gregory Porter etc.

I am not familiar with any of them but I will check them out..you can post any of the stuff you like here...I would like to hear it.

The Supremes...Post Diana Ross...

After Ross left they actually had some decent hits but they were overshadowed completely and fell into the background...but before they did they recorded some great stuff without Diana...I bought all their stuff of course...it is hard to find these days...

Hmmm...I like everyone you have mentioned...Benson is my favorite...

I love TC Carson.....have you ever listened to him?

...how about Kevin Mahogany?

...and though they are a vocal group The Manhattan Transfer has two male vocalists...they are great...especially live...
