As you already know from reading this Blog, Sunday is Old Soul day around my house. Playing classic's on this day always reminds of being a kid. My dad was a huge Stairsteps fan and I recall hearing their LP's 24/7. The Group paved the way for the Jackson Five. Timing in live is everything. The Jackson Five went on to national and international fame and the Five Stair Steps went on to obscurity, but at least they are on Wikipedia. The [...]
The second mix of Beatles covers comprises songs from the group's 1967-68 period, ending rather abruptly in the middle of the White Album selection. So the third mix will carry on with songs from that double album (leading with the Beach Boys doing Back In The USSR). There are some quite unexpected covers. Ella Fitzgerald singing Savoy Truffle? Soul group The Moments singing Rocky Racoon, of all songs? Some performers are also surprising. Bill Cosby, for example. The stand-up comic did an album of covers in 1969, including Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's not mugging for [...]

[above: The Temptations] This throwback playlist is more of a general throwback than an "oh man, I remember those days!" kind of playlist. Obviously, I wasn't around for "those days" of the 50s-70s when motown and soul owned the world. I do however, have fond memories of listening to these songs with my mother while growing up and to this day am able to sing along whenever she plays them. By the way, I call this part 1 because I'm sure there will be many more motown/soul throwbacks in the near future MP3 :: [...]
The Five Stairsteps included a woman and she sang the first verse of O-o-h Child . I thought that was a guy... I thought that the lead singer for the Shocking Blue was a guy, too. Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s father was a member of the Main Ingredient . Kenny G . was a member of the Love Unlimited Orchestra. I thought he was an accountant. The Five Stairsteps - O-o-h child The Shocking Blue [...]

Pour Noël et Matthieu The Five Stairsteps - Ooh Child
. I don't think I've so much fun putting together an Any Major Mix as I had with this one. So much great music to choose from, so much great music I hadn't played in a while. As always, the mix is timed to fit on a standard CD-R. This mix is not a representative overview of '60s soul. Some essential artists are not represented here: Sam Cooke, James Brown, Temptations, Four Tops, Marvin Gaye,
Það er ekki hægt að slútta þemavikunni með öðru lagi en því sem hér á eftir fylgir. Það er einsmellssveitin The Five Stairsteps sem flytur og heitir lagið auðvitað "Ooh Child". Lagið ber hinn viðeigandi viðbótartitil "Things are Gonna Get Easier" en þau orð eru einnig inntak og boðskapur lagsins. Ég veit það sjálfur og hef sannreynt að hlutirnir reddast alltaf á endanum og smá blankheit og kreppa er í raun ekkert til að barma sér um of yfir. Lag og texti gerrsovel: [MP3] The Five Stairsteps - Ooh Child (Things are gonna [...]

The Five Stairsteps: We must be in love [1969] The Five Stairsteps: O-o-h child [1970] I was only going to post one song by The Five Stairsteps, but I couldn't resist posting O-o-h child , a song that's perhaps too common for a music blog, but also a song that without fail makes me feel better when I'm down. Anyway, right now I am far from down. It's actually been a pretty good week so far. We must be in love is written and produced by [...]

Girl Talk's Night Ripper , this summer's hot blogness, has inspired many conversations between us music geeks. When I got the CD, I grabbed my pad and paper and started scribbling down every sample that I thought I recognized, however challenging it was. So then I e-mailed Heather of I Am Fuel, You Are Friends and after talking about a collaborative post lo and behold she sent me the wiki link to a list of samples and it made our [...]
