36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: Our quote of the day. Through every generation, black music

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: has been our healing, our protest, and our celebration, all

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: at once. I'm gonna say that one more time for

39
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: the folks in the back to make sure you felt it.

40
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: Through every generation, black music has been our healing, our protest,

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: and our celebration all at once. All right, t you

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: know how we do when you hear that quote and

43
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: you think about our conversation for today, what comes up

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: for you?

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: Oh so much? Okay?

46
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: I think first, I'm thinking about the healing aspect. Black

47
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: music has been our healing. I just think about how

48
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: music for us, our music is so soulful, and I

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: feel like a lot of times we have probably all

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: had the experience of music helping us process pain or

51
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: trauma or our breakup. Okay, I remember girl, you remember

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: that song by Neo So Sick.

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: Yes, So Sick Love.

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: I think about songs like that, or even like Mary J. Blige,

55
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: where you are going through a tough breakup and you

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: just got that song I'll repeat you at home, ugly

57
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: crying by yourself, like it can be very healing. But

58
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: they're also right, and it can also it can also

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: be a celebration, right. I think about gospel music, I

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 2: think about uplifting music, and then sometimes it's for our protests.

61
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: There are some examples. I'm thinking, I can't think of

62
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: any right at this moment, but I think that black

63
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: music for us can just be so so powerful and

64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: it can transcend time generations. I mean, some music we're

65
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: going to share today is from like decades ago, but

66
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: it still hits right.

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: So that's what that's what I think about. When I

68
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: heard this quote what about you, Dom.

69
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I hear this quote, I think of something similar,

70
00:03:54,120 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: right of that music has been around for centuries. This

71
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: isn't this isn't new for us, particularly folks of the

72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: African diaspora. Right, this is not new for us. And

73
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 3: the beautiful thing about music is how it evolves over time.

74
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: And I think about it as I was choosing my

75
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: songs for today that we're going to talk about today,

76
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: how most of those songs, all of the yeah, the

77
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: majority of the songs that I chose are all younger

78
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 3: than me, so they came out after I was born.

79
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: But there's but one of the songs that I chose

80
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: came out before I was born, but they've been there

81
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: have been remakes since. And in thinking about how there

82
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: are some songs that become so timeless that people remake them,

83
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: but the original still hits, right, oh yeah. Or there's

84
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: certain songs where nobody is gonna touch it. You just

85
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: know you're not touching this, you're not sampling it. You

86
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: will leave this piece of classic music alone. And I

87
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: also just think about, like just in general, how certain

88
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: songs will bring you back to a particular place and

89
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: moment in time, and other songs will make you forget

90
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: all the things like just so I just think about

91
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: all the emotions that come up with music, and then

92
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: I also think about just the psychological benefits of music

93
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: that there are sometimes when you are feeling down and

94
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: you play particular songs because you want to stay in

95
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: that space, but there are songs that you might play

96
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: when you want to come up from that space. Then

97
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: there's the songs that bring you into that angry space

98
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: because the music just needs to. You need something that's

99
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: gonna speak for you, that can communicate your feelings in

100
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: a way that you can't. And then also just thinking

101
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: about how listening to certain songs when you start moving

102
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: your body to it, how that can be healing. And so, yeah,

103
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 3: music is just a beautiful thing, and black music in particular.

104
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: Listen, you said that so beautifully Tom and I as

105
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: you were sharing, and made me think about all the

106
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: songs I wish I would have added to my list.

107
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: Because y'all, we're gonna tell you about what we're gonna

108
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: do it just a bit.

109
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: But when you said a song that makes you feel

110
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: angry made me think about Calise YEA literally had a

111
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: flashback to that, and I'm like, girl, I think about

112
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson and all the greats.

113
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,000

128
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: And these are songs that truly live, rent free in

129
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: our hearts and minds. Because as we were talking about

130
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: this episode, immediately at least three popped into my mind

131
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: right like right away, and they were very diverse. Right, So,

132
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: our songs today cross multiple genres. So we got a

133
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: little gospel, a little R and B, some hip hop,

134
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: some holidays stuff, We have a variety of black music

135

139
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,040

140
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: the innovation that black.

141
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,400

00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: Right, what are your top five?

145
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: Not even top five, because I think it's just difficult

146
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: to say top five. These are just five songs that

147

159
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: And I would say that when it comes to Black

160
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: Music Month in particular, it's personal to us for some

161
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: of the reasons we share before, right, so many, For

162
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: so many of us, music isn't just background noise.

163
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: It's really how we survive.

164
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: Sometimes you may not have had someone to talk to,

165
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: so you put on that Mary J. Blige, you put

166
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: on that Neil, you put on that you know, I

167
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: don't know, it might have been Michael Jackson.

168
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: You put something on so that you could feel connected.

169
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: And sometimes that music can give us words that we

170
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: may not even have ourselves, and it can put the

171
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: feelings that we have into words.

172
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: Right.

173
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: It's how some of us process what we were going

174
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: going through, even when again we couldn't find the words ourselves.

175
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: And so I think, like you said in the beginning time,

176
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: it can also be very healing for us, right.

177
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: Yes, And I think you know, for most of us, Yeah,

178
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: and I say most of us. But like most of

179
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 3: us that grew up in a black household, music was

180
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 3: always there. Somebody was always playing something. Now we're not

181
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 3: gonna talk about whether or not it was something you

182
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: wanted to hear, okay, because I mean, all right, we're

183
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 3: gonna talk about it.

184
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: Right.

185
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: So, how many of you can think back to being

186
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: in your parents' home or another family member's home and

187
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: you thinking about the music that you wanted to hear,

188
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: because more than likely you wanted to hear what was

189
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 3: playing on the radio at that time the current hits right,

190
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: and your mama, your daddy, your auntie, your grandmama, they

191
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: were playing some blues. Maybe you grew up in a

192
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: household where all they played was gospel, or your household

193
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: your parents were like, nah, not in this house. We

194
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: listened to classical music. We listened to opa, we listened

195
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: to jazz. That's what you're gonna get, right. But what

196
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 3: chances are if you grew up in a black household,

197
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: you grew up with some level of black music. Right.

198
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: I can recall personally Saturday mornings when we're up, my

199
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: mom would get us up and it was time to

200
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: clean up the house. My mom, right, My mom was

201
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: a die hard Prince fan. Oh, so we grew up

202
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: listening to Prince Now as a child, that was one

203
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: of the things that I was like, man, for real,

204
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: were listening to this again? But you know some of

205
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: the songs. I knew all the inappropriate words to some

206
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: of the songs that aren't as well known. I'm not,

207
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: you know, just because we don't want to be censored.

208
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say some of those words, but you

209
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: get the hint of a few five letter words, you know.

210
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: And that's what we were listening to on Saturday mornings.

211
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: Sundays it was probably Al Green, Bill Withers, Oldis Redding,

212
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: the Commodores, like the Isley Brothers, Earth Wind and Fire.

213
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 3: And as a child, I was like, no, man, where's

214
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 3: Janet Jackson, Where's Michael Jackson? Give me some Whitneys, some Mariah,

215
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: you know. But literally, now, as an adult, I have

216
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,479
Speaker 3: my what I call my Sunday Old Man Group's playlists,

217
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: where I am listening to Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Al

218
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: Green as I'm going through my Sunday and so. And

219
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: as I listen to those songs, it takes me back

220
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 3: to happier times, right. It takes me back to points

221
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 3: in childhood that feel that feel good. Now, don't get

222
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 3: me wrong, there were points in childhood that weren't always happy.

223
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 3: But when I'm listening to that music, it takes me

224
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 3: back to those happier, joyful, more celebratory times in life.

225
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: So as we, lady, as you're listening, think about those

226
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: songs that bring back memories for you, right, think about

227
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: the songs that allow you to think about when you

228
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: were cleaning up on Saturday morning having to do those

229
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: chores right, or getting ready for church on Sunday, or

230
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: maybe you had a playlist that you listen to before

231
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: get going to school in the morning, whatever it is,

232
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: think about those songs that hold special places in your heart.

233
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: Yes, Tom, I love that so much.

234
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: You have me reflecting back literally, like having flashbacks of

235
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: being in my grandmother's house with breakfast cooking in the

236
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: morning and the gospel music playing on a big, big

237
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: as stereo we had at her home. But girl, you

238
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: know what's funny too when we have this conversation. One

239
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: thing to keep in mind is like we are women

240
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: of a particular age. Okay, So music was also not

241
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: as accessible as it is today. I remember having my Walkman,

242
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: and also I ended up having a CD player and

243
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: then I would have to don't tell nobody, y'all.

244
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: Okay, get ready for this one. All right.

245
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: I've been a techie for a long time. I used

246
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: to be the person that would burn the CDs for

247
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: my friends. I'd be on line wire may or may

248
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: not have been online wire, Okay, I don't know about

249
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: the stats. Maybe napster, you know, download the music, creating

250
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: a little playlist, writing with the marker on the CDs

251
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: and all that. Yeah, So I remember I used to

252
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: love watching one on six in Parks because you have

253
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: the video of countdowns. But we couldn't just go to

254
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: YouTube or go to you know, a website and listen

255
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: to our favorite song. We had to wait for it

256
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: to come on the radio and I'll record it if

257
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: I could, And so it was also a privilege. It

258
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: was really an experience, like waiting for the music videos

259
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: to come out and all that. So that just kind

260
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: of should give you like a bit of context for

261
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: what we're about to share today, because I feel like

262
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: that is it's it makes it different, right, It's not

263
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: like today where you can just look up whatever song

264
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: and listen to it for free. We had a process.

265
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: So what we're gonna do late Okay, great, I.

266
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 5: Mean as you're saying that, that has me thinking back

267
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 5: to like it was important when an album had.

268
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: A release date.

269
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was important to know that release date so

270
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 5: that you could get to the store to buy that

271
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 5: album right, whether lineup, whether it was the CD, the

272
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: cassette tape or the actual record, right, and so records

273
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 5: I know are now back in style and popular. But

274
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 5: at a certain time period late eighties through the early

275
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 5: two thousands, people weren't People weren't using records unless you

276
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 5: were like an actual DJ. By late eighties, early two thousands,

277
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 5: it was cassette tapes and CDs like you mentioned. And yeah,

278
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: and so times truly have changed, as you said, as

279
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 5: you had mentioned that, times truly have changed in how

280
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 5: we take in our music. And so some of that

281
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: also plays a role in what might be your favorite,

282
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 5: what might bring up memories, and some of the songs

283
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 5: that we may name might not be songs that you know.

284
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: All right, shall we dive on in? You want to

285
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: go first with your songs and kind of give us

286
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: the overview.

287
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 3: Oooh okay, all right, I'm gonna give you one. Let's

288
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 3: let's let's we'll go back and forth. Yeah, and lady,

289
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: as you're listening, know that Terry and I have not

290
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 3: shared our songs with each other yet. So if you

291
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: there may be some overlap, we don't know. We're gonna see.

292
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: All right, let's let's go down this musical this musical

293
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: journey so I think I will go in chronological order

294
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: from when the song was released, So I'll go from

295
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: the oldest song to the most recent. So my first

296
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: song was released in nineteen seventy. This is a holiday

297
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 3: song and it is one of my It is my

298
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: all time favorite holiday song ever in life. And I

299
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 3: only will listen to this verse or only like this version.

300
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited.

301
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 3: It is Donnie Hathaway's This Christmas. It is not the

302
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 3: holidays season until I hear Donnie Hathaway singing This Christmas.

303
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 3: Until we hear that qan and I hear like hang

304
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: all the Mistletoe, until I hear that, it is not

305
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: the holiday season. I love that, Yes it is. I

306
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 3: mean for me, it makes the holidays feel so special.

307
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: And then it makes me think about all the holiday

308
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: music that I would listen to as a child. But

309
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: and this wasn't one of my mom's like top songs

310
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: that she would play for us. But this was one

311
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: of my top and still remains like the ultimate holiday song.

312
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: And this was one that I was saying that has

313
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: been remade multiple times, and no disrespect to the people

314
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 3: that have remade it, but this is it. This is

315
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: the only one that I get that I.

316
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: Rock with That's a good one. Dom. Do you want

317
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: to share a favorite lyric?

318
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 2: Not singing, of course, but just like, is there a

319
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: certain part of the song, like this is my part

320
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: right here?

321
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: There isn't no no, the whole song? One is the

322
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: whole song? Like, yeah, it's the whole. As I was

323
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: glancing over the lyrics, there's not a lyric that like that,

324
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, this this one stands out. It's the

325
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: entire song.

326
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: For me, I feel you.

327
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: I feel like for some of my songs there's a

328
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: certain part, but this is the kind of song where

329
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: it's like, you got to take the whole song.

330
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you. That was a good choice.

331
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 2: Okay, let me share the song that I put on

332
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: my list, the first one here. This song is called

333
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: Stump by Kirk Frankly Featrick Guy.

334
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: Yes, you said gospel, I kind of.

335
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: Knew, okay, girl.

336
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 2: So this song came out in nineteen ninety seven, and

337
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: I chose this because I feel like this was the

338
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: church hit that made gospel music and made gospel for

339
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 2: like a party, like he gave us permission to praise

340
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: and you could dance to a little bounce at a

341
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: little shoulder in my household. To give you context, like

342
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 2: we were only allowed to listen to gospel music. We

343
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: were not allowed to listen to secular music. So I

344
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: had to pretty much sneak any other music that I

345
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: wanted to listen to. But this is something my parents

346
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: would play in the car often.

347
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: My dad would have this song.

348
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 2: We you know, listened to it in church, and my

349
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: favorite part is the iconic opener. Okay, So if y'all

350
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: know the song, say it with me, all right. For

351
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: those of you who think the gospel music has gone

352
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: too far, you think we've gotten too radical with our message,

353
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 2: all I got news for you. You ain't heard nothing yet.

354
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: And if you don't know, now you know Glover Gloray. Yes,

355
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: that is classic, y'all. Okay, you will have to let

356
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: us know in the comments if you remember the song

357
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: growing up.

358
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a classic.

359
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: And I would say today, dom it still hits like

360
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: I still listened to it in the car. I introduced

361
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: my daughter to it and now she said it as well.

362
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: And I would say that the funnier personal story that

363
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: ties back to this song is that my very first

364
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: concert I ever went to was a Kirk Franklin concert.

365
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: My dad took my sister and.

366
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: I when we were as it had to be between

367
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 2: the ages of like seven and ten, maybe, yeah, So

368
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: we took us to the concert and we had a ball.

369
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: So that is song number one. Oh my list. Okay,

370
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: all right, girl, what you got? What you got? All right?

371
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 3: So my second song is one that people probably don't

372
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 3: know much about, but I want you to ask for

373
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: I name it. I want you to go in and

374
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: google it. So this song was released in nineteen eighty

375
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: eight and it is called Congratulations by Vesta Williams. And

376
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 3: this song is probably one of the saddest love songs ever. Okay,

377
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: and to really get the feel for it, you've got

378
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: to watch the video. The video for this song is

379
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 3: like if you feel her emotions, oh my goodness. And

380
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: so now let me just share.

381
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Okay, were you going down? I'm so excited. I think

382
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: I know what you're gonna say. M h.

383
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: First of all, well, six years old when this song

384
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: came out. Okay, let's be clear. And this was six

385
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: years old when this when this one came out. So

386
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: at six years old, what do what do I? What

387
00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: do I know about a broken heart? What do I

388
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 3: know about a relationship at six? But this song would

389
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: come on the radio, and it particularly was coming on

390
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 3: the radio in the morning as we were getting ready

391
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: for school. And I remember being six and knowing because

392
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 3: on the radio like they would tell you you want

393
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 3: to hear a song like call in, and they gave

394
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: you the number to call in. And so I remember

395
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: almost every morning, and I don't know now that I'm

396
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: reflecting back, I don't know how my mom never caught me.

397
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: But every morning it wasn't I wasn't sneaking, So I

398
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: don't know how she never saw it. But every morning

399
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 3: I would call to ask the DJ to play Congratulations.

400
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 3: Imagine a little six year old me and I just

401
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: felt it for this woman and and maybe that was like,

402
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: you know, a song foreshadowing. Yes, man, I would that

403
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 3: I would be this person who had who's able to

404
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 3: feel for other people, who has this level of empathy,

405
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: And so yeah, Congratulations by Vesta Williams. Is that is

406
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: my number two?

407
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: Don When you said the name of the song, I

408
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: was like, wait, I feel like Dom told a story

409
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: about this before. So I looked it up when you

410
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: were talking and I saw it and I was like,

411
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: this is the song that she called up to the

412
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 2: radio station.

413
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: That you were six years old.

414
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 2: I would pay money to hear that audio, a little

415
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: Doctor Dominique Blue, Sorry, excuse me, that is the cutest

416
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: thing ever.

417
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 3: I do want to hear that audio too.

418
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: Beyond your years. That is like a wow. Okay.

419
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: So the second song on my list is So Anxious

420
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: by Genuine. This is on the one hundred percent Genuine

421
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: album released in nineteen ninety nine. And this was one

422
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: of those grown songs that I had no business singing, Okay,

423
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: but I knew every word, and the one Genuine album

424
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 2: was on. I'm gonna say air quotes repeat for me, right.

425
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 2: I love that album so much, and let me let's

426
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: go over the lyrics.

427
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: Y'all. Okay, y'all already know where we're going? You ready?

428
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: You can at least my other with me? Okay? You ready?

429
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: You already know what I'm gonna say. All right, here

430
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: we go.

431
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: It's nine o'clock. Oh my lord, Hey, j Whisha, is

432
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: you okay?

433
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Real quick?

434
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: I feel like I sound like Young Miami when young

435
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've heard Young Miami singing online,

436
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: but she's singing she was singing lyrics and I think

437
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna regret trying to sing and rap these songs.

438
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: But it's all good, y'all. It's the vibe when.

439
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 2: When you come over my place, okay after a while

440
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: through Wow, that was the song.

441
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: And I feel like this was one of those classic

442
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: slow jams.

443
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: And when I think about the memory behind it, my dad,

444
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: his girlfriend whenever I would come visit them in California

445
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: when I was younger, his girlfriend. I guess you loved

446
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: her from Genuine because we were always be listening to

447
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 2: Genuine and those genes, Genuine differences all that girl, and

448
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: I knew all the words. Now I loved it, and

449
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: I'd be in the backseat while she's driving. I'd be grooving,

450
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: like I knew. I didn't know what was going on

451
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: in them songs, but I do now. So that's song

452
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: number two for me.

453
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 3: It is, you know, when I think about some of

454
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: the songs that we had no business singing as youngsters,

455
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: like yeah, and it like when you really think about

456
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 3: what they were talking about and not even have as

457
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 3: a kid, not really having any clue to what it

458
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: was that you were singing about. And yeah, So like yeah,

459
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: for me, now as an adult, there's certain songs that

460
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: I listened to and I'm.

461
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 6: Like, well, damn wait, okay, okay, I did not need

462
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 6: to I clearly had no clue.

463
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 3: And there are some songs today that I truly am

464
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 3: like I was today years old when I understood what

465
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 3: they were.

466
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: Singing about that part today years old?

467
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: Yes, oh child, Yeah, all right. So my third song

468
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: is not one of those songs. My third song is

469
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: a song that I wholeheartedly knew what it meant at

470
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 3: the time. I had not experienced this, but I knew

471
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 3: what it meant at the time that the song was released.

472
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: So my third song came out in nineteen ninety six,

473
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: and this was off of this artist's first album. So

474
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 3: the song is Whenever, Wherever, Whatever by Maxwell and Lady.

475
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: If you know me, you know that Maxwell is my

476
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: favorite artist and I and I fell in love with

477
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 3: Maxwell from that very first album. This song is probably

478
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: like my number one all time favorite song ever in

479
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 3: life because to me, I'm a I'm an R and

480
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: B girly, I'm a romance. I love love and this

481
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: song to me like just speaks about love like Whenever, Wherever, whatever, right,

482
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: and some of it does seem a little sad because

483
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: it is like, wish I knew I could be the

484
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: one that you would love forever in a day, right,

485
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: But basically he's saying that if there's anything that you

486
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: need for you and your blood, I would bleed like

487
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: so basically, I'm there for you girl. I got you, girl.

488
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: Like that to me, ultimate ultimate love song. And so yeah,

489
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: even though in nineteen ninety six, I did not know,

490
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 3: fourteen year old me did not had not experienced love,

491
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 3: I felt it in my soul and it will. Yes,

492
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: this one will always be my number one. It's gonna

493
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: take a lot, it would take a whole lot to

494
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: top this song.

495
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: For me. I'm gonna have to go revisit that one down.

496
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: That was a good one. I like it.

497
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: I like it, Okay, I like the setup you did

498
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: there too. So number three for me is going to

499
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: be a song from two thousand and three and the

500
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: song is get Ready You're ready should have known better

501
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: by Monica that song on video. I love that song

502
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: so much and I was singing all the words and

503
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 2: I feel like this was that emotional I was loyal

504
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: to you anthem right. Monica was always like a great

505
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: emotional outlet and I'm not going to sing this part

506
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: because I can't hit. I'm not going to hit the note,

507
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: and I don't want to, you know, mess up y'all ears.

508
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: But the part that I liked was why I never

509
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: left you and why I kept it real and why

510
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm still with you.

511
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: I won't leave it there.

512
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: I like that I tried to hard, y'all, and I

513
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: feel like this was like a many a many heartbreak.

514
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, she was like a many heartbreak.

515
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: Counselor in some ways, you know, even though I didn't

516
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: have a heartbreak, and this was probably dedicated to some

517
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: imaginary relationship because sometimes you just like you said you

518
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: feel that.

519
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: Song, I'm like, yeah, why you? Why you do me wrong?

520
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: Like that?

521
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: It's like I ain't.

522
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what did I ain't didn't nobody know

523
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: what's going on, but it was one of the songs.

524
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I loved it.

525
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: Okay, Yes, Monica, you're right, on course, I don't about

526
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: that about Monica likes speaking to what women were going through,

527
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 3: because I even think about from the bet her very

528
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: first song, just one of them days, right, like yeah, yes, yes,

529
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: so and so okay.

530
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: So my my next songited.

531
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: So first of all, let me just say that if

532
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: you don't know, if you have never listened to a

533
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: podcast episode, I am from New Orleans. New Orleans has

534
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: amazing artists, right, so I mean from multiple genres of music. Right.

535
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: We have like Louis Armstrong and the Marsalis Brothers with jazz,

536
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: and we have Mahela Jackson with with gospel. More recently

537
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: we got like Tanking the Bengals in Big Freedom. Well,

538
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 3: you know this song was released in nineteen ninety eight

539
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: to New Orleans, but it's for everybody else cash Money

540
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 3: Record taking over for the nine nine into two thousand.

541
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: That's right, back that ass up, is Yes, it's number

542
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,959
Speaker 3: four on my list because yeah, you hear that and

543
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: you just immediately need to get your body moving. You

544
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: need to twerk, You need to back that ass up,

545
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 3: right Like universally, black women everywhere hear it and they

546
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: just know it's time to dance.

547
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: I got to shake.

548
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: So yes, yes, that was a good choice. I'm glad

549
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: that you chose that one, oh, because I didn't have

550
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: that on my list. But that is a classic right there.

551
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: Even if you don't know how to talk, because I

552
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: know some of us. You know, our tworking is.

553
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: To happen.

554
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's questionable, but you got to move a little

555
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: something when you hear that song. So that was a

556
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: good one. My next one, I feel like the theme

557
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: with mine, like they're like singables or wrappabules. I like

558
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: to be able to spit some bars or like sing

559
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: some you know, sing the words when I'm listening. And

560
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: so this next one, y'all, is two thousand and five

561
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,239
Speaker 2: and the song is Candy Shop and I love my

562
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 2: I was loving twenty more questions and all the stuff

563
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: everything for these scent was dropping in the club all that,

564
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: and so I feel like everyone in school was singing.

565
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: This one had a nice little beat to it.

566
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: I didn't know about all the stuff he was saying

567
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: in it, because the part that I liked was where

568
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: he was like, donal let me know if you remember

569
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: this part he said, you can have it your way?

570
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 1: How do you want it? You going back that thing?

571
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: Ohould I push your pull into puture rise And okay,

572
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 2: that's hot, okay cool lot from high grown and I

573
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: was grown, very grown. Okay, it's getting very much grown.

574
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: I was singing all the words, but I didn't really

575
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: I don't think I really listened to them and understood

576
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 2: like exactly what everything was, you know, what they were

577
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 2: talking about. But this still hits today. I would definitely

578
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: sing this at karaoke. Yeah, so this would this would

579
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: be the one. This is definitely one of the songs

580
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: I was burning on the CDs and sneaking to listen

581
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: to because I wasn't allowed to.

582
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: And yeah, that is my song number four.

583
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, all right, Well since we're still it seems

584
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 3: like we're still in this hip hop rap errm. All right,

585
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 3: now my number five, I'm gonna bring in more currents.

586
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 3: And my number five was actually released in twenty twenty.

587
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 3: Oh so I'm I'm skipping a couple of decades here, right,

588
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: I went from ninety eight to twenty twenty. Yes, And

589
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: it's so funny now as I'm thinking about it, like

590
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about all kinds of other songs that I

591
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: could have tossed in in between ninety eight and that

592
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. But but nevertheless, here we are and

593
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 3: my number five Savage remix by Meg thee Stallion and Beyonce,

594
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: that is my number five. Cuz I'm classy. I'm bougie,

595
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 3: I'm ratchet. Listen, I'm sassy, I'm moody, I'm nasty. M

00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 3: h I am all of those things and more. Yes,

597
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 3: And when this song came out, I just felt like

598
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, this song kind of

599
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 3: I feel this like and this is actually this song

600
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 3: is actually on my morning playlist. It's the last song

601
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 3: on my morning playlist because it's like, all right, now

602
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: you're ready to go. You are ready to tackle your day.

603
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 3: Now that you are reminded that you are a savage.

607
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 2: That was a good one, And there are so many

608
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: songs that we could have shared, y'all. This is definitely

609
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: not a top five I want to reiterate that, but

610
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 2: just songs that came to mind as we thought about.

611
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: This episode topic. And so my number five is a

612
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: song that came out in two thousand and five, and

613
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: this was just such a great I fought the two

614
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: thousands in my opinion, because that's the era that I

615
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: really grew up in. I looked the two thousands that's

616
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: some good music, right that ninety nine two thousands era.

617

Speaker 2: It was like the summertime. It was like an anthem.

621
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: And I remember listening to this song and I actually

622
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,960

Speaker 2: chirp phone back then, and I believe I had this

624
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: as my ringtone. And I remember my dad he was like,

625
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: take that song. He was so pissed. He's like, take

626
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 2: that song. You need to choose another song.

627
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: You can't have that. And I was like, damn, you

628
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: grand from my style? Why are he so extra?

629
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: And now as an adult, I'm like, I'd be damn

630
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 2: if my teenager tried to come up in this house

631
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: with a song like that as her ringtone. Absolutely not.

632
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 2: That was too damn much. And the thing is too

633
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 2: with some of these songs. I was listening to the

634
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 2: radio version, and for mem I was today years old

635
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: for many of them when I actually realized.

636
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: Oh that's what they were saying.

637
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: I see why, you know, I think on that radio, yeah,

638
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: this was they had a clean er it was still

639
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,479
Speaker 2: a lot that version for this, and it was the song.

640
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: I loved their whole album. What was it called? Was

641
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: the Blue Stars or I don't know.

642
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: They had a lot of freaky songs on the album,

643
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 2: and I think the album still hits to this day,

644
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: Like I still listened to it.

645
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: So is it classics?

646
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: I love that? So, I you know, as I'm reflecting,

647
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 3: I want to throw in a couple of honorable mentions.

648
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: Yes, great, that's right. Yes.

649
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: So, as I was thinking of Savage, like what it may,

650
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 3: it made me think about one of my nieces who

651
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty when the song came out, like because

652
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: I was always listening to it, she knew that that

653
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: was like she just claimed that that was my song

654
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 3: and so she would know to like play it for me.

655
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: And then it made me think about my Elvis niece

656
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: and in two thousand three, hold on, let me let

657
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: me find it for real. In two thousand and three,

658
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: there was a song that came out, Oh no, I'm

659
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 3: sorry it was two thousand and six. Huh okay, so

660
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 3: I thought it was two thousand and three, but Bossy

661
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: by Calice, Yes, and my niece knew this was back

662
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: when people actually played CDs in their car. She was

663
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: she knew how to find it on the CD player

664
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: in the car, and she would always go to that

665
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 3: particular song. Yes, And I was like, well, that's fitting.

666
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 3: That's that's that was in that stage of life. That's

667
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 3: I was embodying that I was bossy, and so it

668
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: makes me think about it. So I thought about that

669
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: one and then another one that that I really liked.

670
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 3: Every Time I Close my Eyes by Baby Bace. That

671
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 3: song was like an ultimate like wedding song, and like

672
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 3: I remember when it came out, like having multiple people

673
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 3: knowing multiple people who were like putting that on their

674
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 3: like wedding album playlists.

675
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: Yes, those are so good. Dumb and bossy. I remember.

676
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: I think I was in high school that came out,

677
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: and I remember everybody loved that song. I'm thinking about

678
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: the intro, which is where it's like doing like that. Yes,

679
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give a couple of honorable mentions, but again

680
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: I feel I wish we could do a whole long list,

681
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 2: but I'm just gonna talk about the most the ones

682
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 2: that come to mind right now. One is a Jay

683
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: Holliday bed that came out when I was in a

684
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: freshman in college, and I feel like that was that

685
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 2: was like the song of my freshman year.

686
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: So whenever I hear that song. I heard it in

687
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: the car the other day and I.

688
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: Was like, oh my gosh, it reminds me of what

689
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 2: I used to drive back home from college and like

690
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 2: have that blasting in the cars driving up seventy six

691
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: or ninety five, like going back home. So I would

692
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: say that one, and then I have to say Michael

693
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 2: Jackson song, y'all Billy Jean, I mean, the real little

694
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: all Michael Jackson. I mean, we would play Michael Jackson

695
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: and all my siblings would be dancing in the house

696
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 2: to his music, trying to moon walk and through all

697
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 2: the dances. So Michael Jackson is a classic for sure.

698
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: And then I got to give another gospel song, and

699
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be No Weapon by Fred Hammond. I just

700
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: grew up in the gospel household, so all the gospel

701
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: music we just we listened to it all and that

702
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 2: was one of the That was another favorite.

703
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: So that's my little list there, lady.

704
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 3: As you can see, it was easy for us to

705
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 3: like start generating all these other We tossed in real

706
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 3: quick a couple of hon't re mentions, and there are

707
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 3: so many more songs that we could name, Like, we

708
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 3: could have a playlist, give you all a playlist for

709
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 3: all kinds of different moods and reasons and seasons. And yeah,

710
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: but it just speaks to that going back to our

711
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 3: quote of the day, right that, like black music truly

712
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: is about our healing, our protests and our celebration. And so, lady,

713
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 3: as you're listening, think about the songs that resonate the

714
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 3: most with you and come up with a few playlists.

715
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 3: You know, I mentioned having I have a morning playlist,

716
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: and my morning playlist is very diverse. I you know,

717
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 3: I mentioned having my what I called my old Man

718
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 3: Groove Sunday playlist. And think about all the music that

719
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: you like and why it means so much to you.

720
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: Like remember to not just let it play, think about

721
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 3: why those particular songs are the songs that are important

722
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,799
