#MUSICMONDAY A Few of My Favorites ..Who Sing...

Yes, I don't really care to socialize electronically much. I prefer to look folk in their faces physically. The issue with this is most folk are in public gazing in their fons. I too struggle.(lbs)

This past weekend my long time friend Patrick and I took to the road, as he assisted me in providing the soundtrack for another wedding ceremony (all love). On our way home I played one of my current mixes for him and turned him onto a few new songs and artists.  I just wanted to give you a bit of background for the inspiration to this post...

No they are not in order, but we will start off with one who I've followed for a few decades...

I don't have to explain it really. When I hear her voice and lyrics I don't simply hear moniquebingham.com/ in her current "genre", which is soulful house. I hear HER BLUES, wrapped in soul and jazz, made danceable to a four on the floor kick. I am now a lifelong fan. #endofstory

I really don't care what you think about any of my picks for some of MY favorites.

This next cat has been labeled a bit of everything, from gay to crazy. And though few give him the title of genius, I'm certain that he is... Another genre bender Bilal is not confined by eras or sounds from rock to jazz opera to soul, just to name a few. I hear my mother's music and the future, free and uncensored by the confines of pop/hip hop.(who knew american music would ever associate these two so closely #wateradded) 

I might be cheating by putting these two together. I just saw a video to the remake of one of my  lifelong favorite songs by Roberta Flack and Donnie Hathaway. 
I can't recall when I first heard Tony Momrelle, but I'm certain it was based on some house tune he was featured on or in association with incognito. Of course I thought of Stevie and the other soulful greats easily categorized under #mymamasmusic. Yes TONY has been dope and combining him with the lovely sweet vocals of  MS. Chantae Cann makes for a fresh and fun  remake that still fits nicely under many categories, including disco, funk and most certainly SOUL. Back Together Again...

Thanks to Sean Ali and Sounds of Ali for the intro to the beasty Rona Ray. Every time I play the song Patrick asks the same question... "who is that!?, then he goes on to talk about her sounding like India Irie and Mariah Carey. Thank god they are both great compliments to Rona Rays credits. I have yet to venture further into her catalog as I know it's wider than soulful house. I am living for what she has done with these two Chicago underground producers and looking forward to more.

I know your attention span can't take much more so, upon occasion I'll pop up and add a few more of my entries of my all time and current favorites. Be glad, maybe I've spared you and your wallets, that is if you decide to PURCHASE music. #seehowispunthat :)

    fathom spits

    when i come to the jam 
    know who i am
    aint bout the flim flam
    no i dont give a damn
    about where you been 
    or what you rocking
    when the tunes hit
    we'll see whats popping
    not stopping
    though i did slow up
    to be more precise 
    and detailed 
    catch a close up
    or maybe get a glimpse
    nobodies hoe
     but the game got pimps
    i stay exempt
    and stand in the light
    fame got glimmer
    but my glow just right
