Convention

IAintTheOne said:

NOTHING conventional about me saying that I was surprised that they played "Insane" by Cameo. What's conventional about that? Or me stating that I've had Hot Chocolate, The Silver Connection or Instant Funk since I was little. A brutha can't compliment somebody's show?

blackguitaristz said:

LOL pay attention man. the group is "Silver Convention" not Connection

IAintTheOne said:

Convention...Damn, Isn't THAT what I said? Silver Convention. What I say? Connection? I said Silver Connection? Like The Chinese Connection and shit?...damn. My bad. "Fly Robert Fly" and shit. Yeah man, I've had that since forever. That's what I was saying "Fly Robert Fly"..That track is bangin'.

blackguitaristz said:

LOL it's "Fly Robin Fly"

IAintTheOne said:

I KNOW man, I'm just fucking around.

We got an interesting show coming up this Friday, July 24th. This time, the motto is Power to the People and we'll be playing Music from the Black Power Era, which we define as the era from 1967 until 1974 for this particular show.
We'll be playing music with messages of social awareness and which conveys the struggle for equality and eventually, Freedom. The music will be so good that you'll feel empowered after the show, no matter what race you are.
This will be a deep show ... tune in live from 11pm until 1 am Eastern at www.wrir.org or get the download the next day.

MrSoulpower said:

Please tellme you're going to play "Because i'm black" that's a stone cut right there

IAintTheOne said:

That's definitely on my playlist. I'll play some of the obvious choices, but also some really deep less known material. All will fit the theme. It will give Angela Davis an orgasm.

THIS sounds very good. Seriously.....This is TRULY right up my alley. Great theme.

blackguitaristz said:

Actually "Wild and Free" from the Curtis album would fit

blackguitaristz said:

Co-sign.

Willie Hutch should be in there somewhere with "Brother's Gonna Work It Out".

IAintTheOne said:

Yep.

Timmy84 said:

Very true.

What's going on, guys, you already writing a playlist for my show?
Some good choices up there, and many of them are on my list ... but as you probably know by now, I'll also pick some little known material.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned James Brown (Say it Loud) I'm black and I'm proud and Get up, get into it, get involved.

Great picks, Neal. I picked up We insist a couple of years ago, it's an amazing record.

On this show, we'll stick a bit more to the Soul side of the Black Power sound .. I may do a show with music if the civil rights movement - ca. 1962 - 1968 - some other time.

By the way, a nice interview with your Midnight Soulstice hosts in the latest edition of RVA Magazine in Richmond ...

Oh of course James's Say It Loud crossed my brain but I wasn't sure just how DEEP you wanted to get. Just like I didn't mention a cut from The Last Poets. That was one of the first songs I thought of when I saw the thread. Or a cut by Sly & the Family Stone. Along with Heron who was the first I had mentioned. Oh and here are a few that may NOT be seen as Black Power sentiments by others, but to me, lyrically and thematically, I very much see them as such:
Jimi Hendrix: House Burning Down
Funkadelic: Cosmic Slop (title track)
Parliament: Fantasy Is Reality

Oh, we'll get deep. You had some great picks, and you'll get to hear some of those, and you'll get to hear tracks you've probably not hear before. There is enough out there for a second volume.

Deep like this:
