Chill Out Sunday Comes to Boogie

We’re kicking off today’s show with a chill-out set on Boogie—I’ve always wanted to do this: Some serious slow jams from Sade, Terence Trent D’Arby, Dionne Warwick, Earth, Wind & Fire, Imagination, Fat Larry’s Band, Marvin Gaye, Heatwave, The Isley Brothers…and then into the second hour we’ll pick up the tempo with The Jacksons, Earth, Wind & Fire with that ENORMOUS hit “Boogie Wonderland”, Odyssey with “Going Back to My Roots” and MORE. OH MY GOSH! Today is set to be radical. And guess who’s back? Last week’s guest Caroline Uliwa—a correspondent from The Citizen newspaper! And this time she wants to know: Were it not for music video can today’s music stand alone? Well, I’ll tell you this for nothing…for the most part I THINK NOT. And today’s playlist will prove to you, once again, that yesteryear music ROCKS to this day and beyond.

To interact with the show on this topic send SMS to 0715 364 045. I'd love to hear what you think.

Boogie Explores the Origins Of Disco and WHY It Still Rocks

On today’s show: We’re going to be looking back at the origins of disco with some early 70s classics (watch out for Manu Dibango); some late 70s disco (watch out for Diana Ross); and then we’ll head over to the 80s with a selection 80s Movie Hits—yes, you heard that right. For the first time ever on Boogie—I’ve wanted to do this for quite a while—I’m going to play music from the hit movies of the 80s. And look out for a quiz coming up on the Nu Disco segment of the show where I’ll be asking you to tell me who the original artists of some reworked disco tracks were. Simply SMS your views to 0715 364 045. It’s that simple. So stick around for that. And last but not least, my guest on the show today is Caroline Uliwa—a correspondent from The Citizen newspaper who will be interviewing ME on the show actually. She wants to know WHY music from yesteryear has stood the test of time?

Boogie Playlist 15th January 2012

Guys, I was unable to blog my playlist last week because my computer had gone technical. While my techie was sorting out the problem, I was unable to go online...unable to do anything. Thank goodness my playlist had already been printed out. I've had requests from listeners who say not only do they love the show, they take notes of all the tracks I play. And so they've asked for the playlist of last week's show. So here it is! Note: I played the first and second tracks at the end of the previous week's show.

1.    Boney M – Daddy Cool 1976. The group's big break came when they appeared on the live music show Musikladen on German television on September 18, 1976, after 10 pm and in their daring stage costumes, where they performed the song "Daddy Cool". The song quickly went to no.1 in Germany, with the album following the success of the single.
2.    Gary’s Gang – Keep On Dancin’ 1979
3.    Tina Charles – I Love To Love 1976
4.    Baccara – Yes Sir, I Can Boogie 1977
5.    Johnnie Taylor – Disco Lady 1976
6.    Deodato – Whistle Bump 1978
7.    Graham Central Station – Now Di-U-Wanta Dance 1977
8.    Club Nouveau – Lean On Me 1986
9.    Steve Arrington – Feel So Real 1985
10.    Nu Shooz – I Can’t Wait
11.    Conway Brothers – Turn It Up 1985
12.    Timex Social Club – Rumors 1986
13.    The Evasions – Wikka Wrap 1981
14.    Space – Magic Fly 1977
15.    Eruption – I Can’t Stand The Rain 1979. Eruption was formed in 1974 in Britain. In 1975 they won the RCA Soul Search Contest, whilst their first single "Let Me Take You Back in Time" was released in 1976. Finding their success quickly drying out, lead singer Lindel Leslie left the group, and their backing singer Precious Wilson stepped forward to front the band. They went on the road in Germany where Frank Farian, the producer of Boney M., took notice of them. Farian signed the group with the Germany-based Hansa Records and the band supported Boney M. on tour. After a minor hit single with "Party Party", their cover of "I Can't Stand the Rain" from their first album (of December 1977) was a hit, reaching #5 in the UK Singles Chart, and #18 in U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Precious Wilson left the group in 1979 to pursue a solo career and was replaced by singer Kim Davis.
16.    The O’Jays – Put Our Heads Together 1983
17.    Luther Vandross – Give Me The Reason 1986. In 2008, Luther Vandross was ranked #54 on Rolling Stone Magazine's List of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. Vandross also sang backing vocals for Diana Ross, Roberta Flack, Gary Glitter, Carly Simon, Chaka Khan, Todd Rundgren's Utopia, Donna Summer, Bette Midler, Chic, and Barbra Streisand. Sadly, Vandross died on July 1, 2005 at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey at the age of 54. The apparent cause of his death was a heart attack. His funeral was in New York City on July 8, 2005. After two days of viewing, Vandross was entombed at George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus, New Jersey. Much of his estate was left to friends and his godson Mark West. On September 20, 2005, the album So Amazing: An All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross was released. The album is a collection of some of Luther's songs performed by various artists, including Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Fantasia, Beyoncé Knowles, Donna Summer, Alicia Keys, Elton John, Celine Dion, Wyclef Jean, Babyface, Patti LaBelle, John Legend, Angie Stone, Jamie Foxx, Teddy Pendergrass, Chris Farley and Aretha Franklin. Aretha Franklin won a Grammy for her rendition of "A House Is Not a Home", and Stevie Wonder and Beyoncé won a Grammy for their cover of "So Amazing".
18.    Linda Lewis – It’s In His Kiss 1975
19.    The Weather Girls – It’s Raining Men 1982
20.    The Drifters – Kissin’ In The Back Row Of The Movies 1974

New Year's Day On Boogie

It's New Year's day and it's time to Boogie! The show didn't air on Christmas Day...I guess we took a break. But we're back in earnest. DJ Cue and I will be rocking Dar es salaam today with some smooth funk classics on this auspicious FIRST day of the year 2012. Thank God we're here, now let's CELEBRATE!

On today’s show: We’re STILL celebrating Tanzania’s 50 years of independence with the THIRD installment of 100 DISCO DANCEFLOOR CLASSICS spanning two decades—the 1970s and the 1980s—with ABSOLUTELY NO repetition for several weeks GUARANTEED. If you’ve got a new year's day party on today—or maybe you just want to chill it out over this festive day, we’ve got the perfect disco party anthems compiled especially for you. So stay tuned to Boogie today and EVERY Sunday EVERY week for MORE and more Disco action—I GUARANTEE it!

I will open today's show with Lonnie Liston Smith's – Expansions from 1975. Lonnie Liston Smith, Jr. (born December 28, 1940 in Richmond, Virginia) is an American jazz, soul, and funk musician who played with important free jazz artists such as Pharoah Sanders and Miles Davis before forming Lonnie Liston Smith And The Cosmic Echoes, recording a number of albums widely regarded as classics in the fusion / Quiet Storm / smooth jazz and acid jazz genres.

Also featured today are The Jones Girls – Nights Over Egypt from 1981. The Jones Girls were an R&B trio of sisters from Detroit, Michigan. They consisted of sisters Brenda, Valorie and Shirley Jones. They served as backup singers for Lou Rawls, Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Franklin, and Le Pamplemousse. They worked with Diana Ross from 1975–78 and were the backup singers on Linda Clifford's 1978 album If My Friends Could See Me Now. Their less successful single "Nights Over Egypt" (released in 1981, charting at R&B #23 in 1982), is currently a cult classic that receives more airplay on urban radio stations than any of their previous bigger hits.

And look out for Rodney Franklin – The Groove from 1980. In 1980 the album You'll Never Know saw some major chart success with "The Groove" (it reached number 7 in the UK Singles Chart). The track was released on both 7" and 12" format. It created a UK dance craze called 'The Freeze' which was started up by DJ Chris Hill.

Narada Michael Walden – I shoulda Loved Ya from 1979. Narada Michael Walden (born Michael Walden on April 23, 1952 in Kalamazoo, Michigan) is an American producer, drummer, singer, and songwriter. His number one hits have included several collaborations with Whitney Houston ("How Will I Know" "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" "So Emotional" "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" "All the Man That I Need", Mariah Carey ("I Don't Wanna Cry" "Heartbreaker"), Aretha Franklin & George Michael ("I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"), Diana Ross ("Take Me Higher")... to mention but a few.

And give it up for the phenomenal Heatwave – Gangsters Of The Groove from 1980. Heatwave was an international funk/disco musical band featuring Americans Johnnie Wilder, Jr. and Keith Wilder (vocals) of Dayton, Ohio, Englishman Rod Temperton (keyboards), Swiss Mario Mantese (bass), Czechoslovak Ernest "Bilbo" Berger (drums), Jamaican Eric Johns (guitar) and Briton Roy Carter (guitar). They were known for their successful songs "Boogie Nights" and "Always and Forever" (from their 1976 debut album, Too Hot to Handle), and "The Groove Line" (from their 1978 follow-up album, Central Heating). Rod Temperton who quit the band in the 70s continued writing new songs for Heatwave, he soon became better-known for his songwriting for other artists, penning award-winning songs for some of funk's biggest names, including Rufus and The Brothers Johnson. He also wrote for Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones, but his most famous partnership remains the one forged with Michael Jackson, writing three songs for his 1979 Epic debut Off The Wall - "Rock With You," "Off The Wall" and "Burn This Disco Out", and three songs for the 1982 Thriller album, including the title track THRILLER.

I look forward to today's show. The playlist is going to be awesome.
