Episode 151: R&B Explosion! (Soul Explosion! Part II) (444)
SHOW NOTES for 02/04/2012 – DJ JustAnotherDJ
Inspired by last year’s Soul Explosion episode (as you know, it takes me a while to get around to things), I put together an R&B Explosion. This partially arose from the fact that, well, soul music arose from R&B, which itself sounds nothing like it did originally when you hear the music currently defined as “R&B.” Where’s the rhythm? Where’s the blues? So, I thought it was time to look back at what this music was…maybe not right at the beginning, but closer to the beginning, and maybe try to get an idea of how it developed into what was then called “soul” – not to far off from its originator.
And, I may not have to many actual answers for you, but I believe quite a few other people do, if you’ll look around a little bit.
Today’s playlist:
I know I usually give you a web address for stuff, but seriously – just go look it up on Wikipedia. That’s where I’d end up sending you anyway.
