WELDON IRVINE - "MORNING SUNRISE"His genius is mostly only known by the truest of music aficionados; but his work is the foundation of so many classics of multiple genres. Weldon Irvine once worked for The Legendary Nina Simone-playing Organ, serving as Bandleader, Arranger, and Road Manager. He wrote "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" which would turn into HUGE Hits for Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin. He would go on to record several albums of his own, and write/produce at least 20 stage musicals. And his magic would even transcend into the future generations, as he worked actively on albums by Mos Def, BlackStar & others. The featured song of this blog post, "Morning Sunrise," was sampled for Jay-Z's classic "Dear Summer" and also "Bitch Is Crazy" by Drake. The original appeared on his 1979 LP "The Sisters." Sadly, Weldon Irvine's time on this Earth came to close on April 9, 2002. However, his music and contributions will go on FOREVER... http://www.allmusic.com/artist/weldon-irvine-mn0000244561/biography

CHERRELLE & ALEXANDER O'NEAL - "SATURDAY LOVE"As much as I love other genres of music, none can set the course of the day like a good soulful love song. Soak it up & have a Great Day! "When I look at you Memories of love Like no one before You stay on my mind (Special feelings, special times) Feeling so special (I was yours and you were mine) Made for each other, girl (All the good I won't forget) Staying on my mind, girl (Saturday, the day we met) Girl, you know I can't leave you behind There's never any question You will be my Saturday love" ERYKAH BADU - "ORANGE MOON"No better way to start off the day with a combined dose of Love & Intelligence. This has always been one of my favorite Erykah Badu songs, and hearing takes me back to a beautiful time in my life. More importantly, for those with awareness of the teachings of The Nation of Gods & Earths/Five Percenters, this song has a Much Deeper Meaning. And yes, she is One of Us. P.E.A.C.E. - "I'm an Orange Moon I'm brighter than before Brighter than ever before I'm an Orange Moon and I shine so bright Cause I reflect the light of my sun I praise the day, he turned my way And smiled at me He gets to smile and I get to be orange, that I love to be How good it is, how good it is..." JAZZ SPASTIKS feat APANI B FLY - "MOVE"Plastic surgery, controversy, and monopolized promotion of what's supposedly "HOT," will leave most to think that Nicki & Iggy are the only females out there representing Hip Hop. And will I must admit to enjoying LOOKING at Nicki Minaj, WITH THE VOLUME TURNED ALL THE WAY DOWN, there are so many other female EMCEES out there that would send those two chicas home crying after analyzing their Line-for-Line Artistry. Apani B Fly is just ONE of those ladies... If this smooth & mellow groove & Apani's laid back flow doesn't help start your day off on the right note, then you should just go back to bed. |
