Walked in to Al Nalli Music on #MainStreet in #AnnArbor #Michigan circa early 1980s. The keyboard section was empty, just a bunch of cables and cords hanging off of keyboard racks. Me: "Did you get robbed or something?" Them: "Naw, #StevieWonder came in here and bought everything we had!" #HappyBirthday number 76 to a legend, a genius, and fellow tech nerd. 🎵 🎶 ⚡ 🎹 🎂 👍 😁 #Music #Motown #RhythmAndBlues Photo credit: Susan Wineberg, 1981.

"Would I Lie to You?" is a song written and performed by British pop duo #Eurythmics. Released on 9 April 1985 as the lead single from the band's fourth studio album, #BeYourselfTonight (1985), the song was the first by the duo to feature their change in musical direction from a predominantly #synthpop style to #rock and #rhythmAndBlues. The song, and its accompanying album, featured a full backing band and relied less on electronic programming. Lyrically.

@DJDarren #Mazarati "100 MPH". My first band was a covers band, these cats were popular at the time so we had a couple of their songs in our set. They were signed to #Prince's #PaisleyPark label and also did the backing vocals for "Kiss" (there's a story behind that!). A couple of the dudes went on to work with #PaulaAbdul. Solid musicians. But the video is mega-1980s cringe LOL! #Minneapolis #Music #Funk #RhythmAndBlues #ClassicPop #ThePlaylistSuggestion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA4tiO6YpbA

Today's show - Car + Strong = Win
Now that's a nerdy show title if ever there was. For the non-nerds, Karplus Strong is a type of sound synthesis done with delays. Cool right? Expect it... Always. Oh and there's a new WIP from me buried in there.

"Rescue Me" is a #rhythmAndBlues song first recorded and released as a single by American #soul singer-songwriter #FontellaBass in 1965. The original versions of the record, and #BMI, give the songwriting credit to Raynard Miner and Carl William Smith, although many other sources also credit Bass herself as a co-writer. It would prove the biggest hit of Bass's career, reaching #1 on the #RAndB charts for four weeks and placing at #4 on the #Billboard #Hot100.

"Searchin'" is a song written by #JerryLeiberAndMikeStoller specifically for #theCoasters. #AtcoRecords released it as a #single in March 1957, which topped the #RAndBChart for twelve weeks. It also reached number three on the Billboard singles chart.

WTFunk, why haven't I heard these cats before? #Detroit's #Enchantment had a number one #RhythmAndBlues hit with this tune in 1978. Really nice arrangement, just enough to move it along without getting overheated. They had a few more hits and wrote some tunes for other bands, I gotta check those out, too. Cheers! 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #Michigan #Soul #Funk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3xXGE9V9CQ

Musical Interlude: It got into the upper 70s today, with clear blue skies...AT LAST! So much snow has melted, and my car is fixed, so I got to drive around a bit and listen to this very, very, very appropriate tune.

Collector’s Edition – Sucking Me In
If you’ve been digging through the scene looking for something that defies simple categorization, Collector’s Edition is a name you need to memorize. Their latest single, “Sucking Me In,” is a marvelous blend of alternative rock, soul, and R&B, feeling like a breath of fresh air in a scene often stifled by genre tropes. This duo has tapped into a specific kind of magic here, crafting a catchy, engaging, and emotionally resonant track. It’s a sonic journey that proves you don’t need a wall of noise to make a massive impact, because sometimes, the most powerful statements are made through groove and atmosphere.
The foundation of the track is built on an infectious rhythmic section. Every beat and bassline brings a tremendous amount of groove, depth, and dynamics to the table, locking the listener into a steady, soulful pocket from the very first second. But it’s the layering that really elevates this composition. The interplay between the keys and the guitars is executed to perfection, delivering more than enough melody and harmony to create a lush, expansive backdrop. These instrumental maneuvers aren’t just there for filler, they serve as the perfect pedestal for the vocal performance to truly shine.
Speaking of the vocals, they are the absolute heart of the song. Soulful, sincere, and delivered with a confident ease, they guide the listener from start to finish while injecting an extra layer of melody into the arrangement. There’s a noticeable chemistry at play here that makes the transitions between the rock-infused energy and the smooth R&B undertones feel completely natural. Collector’s Edition has successfully bridged the gap between different worlds, resulting in a sophisticated, memorable track that will undoubtedly appeal to anyone with an ear for authentic, well-produced music. This is a perfect example of modern songwriting at its finest.

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #DentistsAndTeeth. The first thing that came into my mind is Dinah Washington's ode to her dentist, who she would like to visit every day:
Dinah Washington: Long John Blues (1949)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3kwdM_puAsThe song was issued as the flip side of "Baby Get Lost", one of Washington's #1 R&B hits, but it also charted on its own, peaking at #3 on the Billboard R&B Jukebox chart.
