A much needed Black Music thread.

Been so busy with life I didn't even realize that Bobby Caldwell passed away last Tuesday. Damn RIP.
This is my favorite song of his, I'm sure I've posted it here before. The piano riff is everything. And of course Bobby's voice - blue eyed soul perfection.

Dougie..you may have missed the death last week of Clarence"fuzzy" Haskins....one of the founding members of the Parliaments..I just want to testify .was their breakout hit...then they morphed into Parliament/Funkadelic ...Fuzzy is in the R&R Hall of Fame....

Yes I did miss that. RIP. Parliament-Funkadelic as I said before was instrumental to the rise of the g funk west coast hip hop sound of the early 90's. A stupid talented group of musicians

This one been sampled in a few hip hop tracks, including Salt n Pepa's 'Everybody Get Up'

 

[K Douglas]

Oh man what a groove. Haven't heard this in a minute.

Are the Little Rascals the first blue eyed soul act? This was 1967

 

[K Douglas]

I never knew who sing this song until now.

The Righteous Brothers maybe?

The Righteous Brothers maybe?

Could be I know they were around mid 60's. These guys were also 67 I posted this before because it may very well be my favorite 60's soul song

This is a forever jam, a stone cold classic

Two big samples of this that I know of and listen to on the reg

Aaliyah with the beautiful background vocals. RIP. And rot in hell Kels...but thanks for the music.

You Can't Play With My Yo-Yo. Don't try to play me out, don't try to play me out. One of my favorite female hip hop songs

You should be able to catch this sample in there

Easily in my top 5 EWF songs.

Cuba Gooding Sr. had a great voice. Simple bassline but very effectual. Guitaring a nice added element as well as the strings. Sad that they don't make music like this anymore

 

[K Douglas]

And another timeless classic. Music just doesn't get much better than this.

Big Pun 'I'm Not a Player' with the sample use
