The two most notable deaths in August happened on the same day: the 22nd. I've already paid tribute to Nick Ashford (HERE) ; on the same day that great songwriter passed away, Jerry Leiber died. I don't think it's necessary to go into detail about the Leiber & Stoller story other than to say that they had a crucial impact on the development of rock & roll. Leiber was the lyricist, and as such got Elvis Presley to sing the great line in Jailhouse Rock: "Number 47 said to number 3,'You're the cutest [...]

Artwork by Voxie Brandon's TBE Digest is a place where I gather up all the recent jams that are worth a listen (or 10) but don't necessarily need their own post.

I was going to post another mix today, but when one of your favourite songwriters dies, priorities take over. And much as I love Jerry Leiber's repository of great lyrics – he was he Cole Porter of rock & roll – my tribute is for Nickolas Ashford, who with his wife Valerie Simpson wrote, produced and recorded over their career of five decades some of the finest soul music. They deserve a lifetime achievement award alone for that string of wonderful songs they wrote and produced for Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell: Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing, [...]
One half of the celebrated songwriting duo Ashford and Simpson, Nick Ashford leaves behind a "solid" legacy.
Very sad to hear about the passing of Nick Ashford at the age of 70. The Ashford & Simpson (Valerie, his wife) writing partnership spawned a stupendous amount of popular hits for artists such as Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan & oodles more. From 1968 here's Marvin & Tammi doing 'You're All I Need To Get By'. RIP. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell- You're All I Need To Get By
Written By Lukas Brekke-Miesner On December 14, 1974 Marvin Gaye sang the National Anthem at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum before the Raiders beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-23 in front of a national television audience. Marvin donned his iconic red beanie in the Bay Area's temperate 53-degree weather and blessed America with its self-affirming anthem. He looked at ease, but earlier that year, on the very same field, Marvin Gaye had confronted some of his biggest demons by returning to the national spotlight… live in Oakland, CA. [...]

Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the [...]
Here's to silencing the mid-week boredoms 'cause by the time I get to Phoenix its all gonna be alright.

Photo from Cool Kidz Crew Productions On July 29, NYC-based producer/DJ/filmmaker Liam Dirlam brought his Voodoo Farm project to a live setting at Dewey Beach's Bottle And Cork. While the set consisted mostly of remixes that Dirlam has released over the past few months, an unreleased track was included as the closer, and we have never been more excited to share a new take on Marvin Gaye 's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." Let the soulful electro blow your speakers up! <embed height="350" width="425" src=" http://widgets.vodpod.com/w/vi deo_embed/Video.14744299" flashvars="&rel=0&border=0&" [...]
