Legendary: “Ain’t Nothing Going On But The Rent” by Gwen Guthrie

Mar 21, 3:36pm LOFT965
Gwen Guthrie - Ain't Nothing Going On But The Rent
"Ain't Nothin' Goin' on But The Rent" is a controversial hit song recorded by late R&B recording artist Gwen Guthrie, released as a single in 1986. The song was controversial in that the woman in the song can be viewed as shallow and a "gold digger", since she will only love a man if he's rich and he has a job. The song has a lyrical interpolation from Billy Preston's 1974 hit, "Nothing from Nothing". While not a big hit in the United States, only reaching #42 on the Billboard Hot 100, [...]

10 Dated R&B Songs That Still Sound Fierce Today

Sep 22, 2012, 10:54pm THEME FOR GREAT CITIES
10 Dated R&B Songs That Still Sound Fierce Today I recently listened to D'Angelo's 1995 debut album Brown Sugar for the first time in forever, and I was surprised by how well it holds up. Unlike, say, Missy Elliott's two-years-younger debut, Supa Dupa Fly , which I also recently revisited, it could be released today and not sound like a relic from a pre-historic musical age. That said, timelessness is not necessarily the key characteristic of timeless R&B. Just because an R&B song reeks of the era that launched it doesn't mean it can't sound just as good on an iPod as [...]

Gwen Guthrie – Ain’t Nothing Going On… (Fingerman & JM Jackmaster’s Classic Edit)

Sep 6, 2012, 5:08am Loudat
NO ROMANCE WITHOUT FINANCE - always handy to have a high calibre  reworking of a disco classic in the bag. Especially when it allows you to mix it without sounding like a complete retard. The BPM on the original pressing wanders around like lonely pisshead - no doubt ejected from his own house by a litigious ex-wife who has taken half of everything he owns. Available in size LARGE download quality. Go Geddit.

Pat Lok – No Shame EP

Dec 14, 2011, 4:06pm Golden Scissors
Pat Lok – No Shame EP On repeat recently has been Pat Lok's first EP, No Shame which dropped last month on On The Fruit Records with remixes by Bit Funk , Goldroom , Volta Bureau and OHYEAH . This EP was highly anticipated here at Golden Scissors. After months of great singles and remixes, it seemed about the right time for an EP. The two original tracks on the EP, "No Shame" and "Yes Game" are both excellent nu-disco treats with some heavy bass-lines to keep the dancefloor shaking. When [...]

GWEN GUTHRIE & RAY LEMA

Jun 12, 2011, 9:19am Waves at Night
GWEN GUTHRIE & RAY LEMA Gwen Guthrie and Larry Levan. Two icons of the Paradise Garage scene, and both passing away prematurely; Gwen at 48 from cancer and Larry at 38 from the toll taken from drug abuse. This is such a classic track. Thick and deep slap bass, low and lazy post-disco beat and a restrained diva on vocals. This became one of the real iconic Paradise tracks back in '86. MP3: Gwen Guthrie - Seventh Heaven (Larry Levan Remix) Some grooves from DR Congo, Africa born artist Ray Lema. The cheese lays [...]

Any Major Soul 1982-83

Mar 25, 2010, 6:35pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Any Major Soul 1982-83 If I had any concerns that I might not be able to cover the 1980s with great soul music, then I was entirely mistaken. This series will go up to 1988-89 (at which point I’ll consider whether 1990-91 is worth covering). The 1982/83 season saw the continued rise of the Quiet Storm, corporate smooth soul stuff which would eventually choker the genre. There isn’t much of that on this collection (and where there is, such as Beau Williams’ Elvina, it’s great). Opening track Time Is appeared on veteran [...]

Yet more '80s soul

Nov 20, 2008, 11:03am Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
. I'm not sure whether it is due to popular demand after last week's compilation, but here is a second '8s soul mix, with a third and final installment in the works. The first mix was an attempt to create a fairly representative cross-section of the genre. This mix is less self-conscious about that. What we have here, then, are some of my favourite soul tracks from that comparatively barren
