LISTEN TO THE BROADCAST:
THE PROCESS: Bob Davis
- Our panel’s picks for best/favorite songs they have heard over the past couple of years or so. The only restriction is that it must be “Black Music” and the song has to be available on YouTube. No genre restrictions. Can be blues, jazz, classic soul, rock n roll, funk, neo soul, hip hop, doo wop, etc.
- Links will be provided so the audience (on either YouTube and/or Soul-Patrol) so the audience can listen to the songs and judge for themselves after hearing the picks.
- Can be a live performance or a cover of a great song from the past.
- It’s totally “free form,” no rank order. (Remember, I hate ordered lists)
- Picks to be followed by a lively discussion about trends in Black Music (if we have time)
- Bradley Alston’s segment is pre-recorded (due to circumstances beyond my control)
- Tonight’s broadcast is dedicated to health/recovery of my fellow University of Pittsburgh Alum, Damar Hamlin who had cardiac arrest on the field this past Monday night, on the field during the Bills/Bengals game.
