Intro: Gail Nobles
Through the words of Tina Turner, I hear the chambers of collective struggle, Tina Turner. We don’t need another hero in her powerful voice. She speaks to the heart of our individual souls as we go through this turbulent landscape we call life we find ourselves journey for something more something greater than what lies within our own experiences.
Tina implores us to consider the landscape of our existence asking not for another savior to emerge from the shadows, but rather for a path that leads us beyond our own personal thunderdomes. What is a hero? What we truly seek is not someone to rescue us from our struggles, but an awakening - a change in our society.
She sings of change, and when I listen, I too wonder: When will we ever change? When will we rise up and hold the reins of our destinies, embracing our capacity to shape a world free from the chains of fear and despair? We have been searching, yearning for something — a foundation upon which we can build our dreams, a pillar of strength that we can rely on as we strive for a better tomorrow.
Look around you. We live in a world where too many of us remain shackled by fear and uncertainty where our voices are stifled, and our hopes dimmed, We must not allow ourselves to live only to leave a mark, a fleeting impression that soon fades. Rather, we must strive to create a legacy of courage and love that stands against the storm. We must seize this moment for living under the blanket of fear. It only leads to a hollow existence, empty of meaning, until there is nothing left.
It is time for us to rise, together as one, to reach for the life beyond the Thunderdome — a life filled with purpose, justice, and love. Let us refuse to be passive spectators in our own lives. Let every heartbeat be a drumbeat for change, every breath a pledge to forge a brighter path for the generations to come.
So I say to you, let us not wait for another hero to come save us. Let us be the heroes of our own story, the architects of change in our communities, the guardians of hope in times of despair. The answers lie within us, and together, united in our dreams, we shall not only envision a better future but also create it!
I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening.

Intro by: Gail Nobles
Jean Knight the soul-stirring songbird. She's got that groove and a voice that will make you wanna dance. You remember: Mr. Big Stuff. Let me tell you about her song A Little Bit of Something (Is Better Than All of Nothing).
Jean’s powerful voice comes through echoing the true essence of love and desire. It's a song for all those who know that sometimes a little love is better than no love at all! She lays it down smooth and sassy, reminding us that even if you can't have everything you want, a little taste can make your heart sing.
Jean Knight captures that feeling of longing, but she's flipping it with a hopeful twist. It's a celebration of those small moments - the flirty chats, the sweet smiles- that might just be what you need to keep your heart in the game.
A little bit of something is a reminder that in the game of love, every little bit counts! Keep grooving and moving with Jean Knight: Mr. Big Stuff Tell Me! Keep listening to songs of love. I'll say it again: A Little Bit of Something (Is Better Than All of Nothing).

Eugene Record was an American singer, songwriter, arranger, and record producer. He was best known as the lead vocalist of the Chicago-based vocal group The Chi-Lites from their formation in 1959 until 1973, from 1980 to 1988, and later making occasional guest appearances. Record wrote and produced many of the group's hits in the 1970s on Brunswick Records, as well as writing and producing for other acts. He had international hits with: "Oh Girl," "Have You Seen Her,
When Brunswick began to falter due to legal and financial issues in the mid-1970s, Record decided to go solo and released three albums (entitled The Eugene Record, Trying to Get to You, and Welcome to My Fantasy) in the late 1970s on Warner Music Group without major success, before re-joining The Chi-Lites in 1980.
From Eugene 1976 album the Eugene Record, he made a single entitled Overdose of Joy. It sounds like a smashing hit. Eugene Record sounds a lot like Marvin Gaye and the music sounds like a Marvin Gaye kind of groove. The song was written by Eugene.

Walk Away From Love Is a song recorded by David Ruffin in 1975. The million selling single was Ruffins only number one R&B hit. Nobody could sing like David Ruffin. His voice really spoke to people through music. You can feel feeling from the words of the song because of his voice.
The lyrics say: I'm gonna walk away from love before love breaks my heart.
He makes love sound like it's something to be feared because of fear within. He doesn't want his heartbroken. So David sings about walking away.
The song Walk Away From Love was number one on the US R&B singles chart for one week in early 1976, and crossed over to number nine on the pop charts. In Canada, the song peak that number 30.

Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to Sound Flave. Today's topic is Whole House Full of Kings & Queens.
Motown had a whole House full of kings and Queens. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin, and a whole list of them in the same house.
Now Michael Jackson is the number one king in the world. He started out as a Motown star with his brothers the Jackson 5.
Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul. She's another Motown star.
Whitney Houston reigned as the Queen of Pop.
James Brown is Godfather of Soul.
Looks like to me, there is room for all that work hard to be number one in music. Rolling Stone has written an article titled The 200 Greatest asingers of All Time.
Today you hear rumors among fans: Who is a far better singer than who? I don't understand why people compare singers.
When I was growing up hearing Motown, listening with family and friends, everybody just enjoyed the music.
When disco came along all of the singers got an applied in the 80s. We loved of course Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Madonna, and the list goes on. There were so many singers that the world enjoyed.
Now we are being told that they'll never be another James Brown or Michael Jackson. I don't know why because there are some more talented people out there just like them or better than them. God gave so many people so much talent, and if you're trying to get into the business, we all know that if it's not about talent, it ain't the music business, and there should be room for all.
I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. -

When Love Calls came from Atlantic Starr’s third studio album, Radiant. The song is written by David Lewis and Wayne Lewis. When Love Calls Peaked at number five on billboard’s R&B chart and number 80 on billboard’s dance music chart in 1981.
The lyrics said: When love calls
You better answer
Cause it might be a big mistake if you decide to hesitate.
The single is a pretty good R&B and dance song.
You may know Atlantic star from singing the hits Always, Secret Lovers, and Masterpiece. You may also know them from singing One Lover, At a Time, If Your Heart Isn't In It, and My First Love.
The group started in the 1970s and they were singing in the 80s They have changed and replaced members. There were some members that had solo careers. They were plentiful in members. I think now the band has four members and still sound great and still singing and performing. You can follow the group for the official Instagram for Atlantic Starr.

Today's topic on Radiea Applis Soul is Bill Moss: Socket It To Em Soul Brother. Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to Sound Flave. You're listening to the Radiea Applis Soul podcast edition.
Bill Moss was a local singer and DJ at WVKO in Columbus. Short for Capital City Soul, the Columbus Ohio Capsule label’s history spans only five years throughout the 1970s founded by Bill Moss. Eccentric Soul: The Capsule Label is a compilation of 19 tracks spanning the label’s all but forgotten history.
One of the songs on the compilation album was titled Socket It To Him Soul Brother by Bill Moss. In the song, he mentioned that he once had the pleasure of meeting Dr. King, and he asked the question: What I say?” Then the back up group would back him up by saying: Socket It To Him So Brother. The song was released on the Bell Records label in 1969. I won't say that it's an instrumental record, and I won't say that it's a rap record as far as rhyming. But it has that rap style. It's a soul record in the soul genre.
On the compilation album released in 2004 or other songs by other music artist by the label The Numero Group.
I would like to add that the single Socket To Him Soul Brother was also released on the Pama Records Label. I don't know if the song was a hit, but it sure sounds like a hit.

Today's topic is James and Bobby Purify. They had a song titled: So Many Reasons. They were an R&B singing duo whose big hits were I’m Your Puppet in 1966, which reached number six in the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart and "Let Love Come Between Us" in 1967, which reached number 23 in the US. The original "Bobby Purify" (Robert Lee Dickey) was replaced by a second "Bobby Purify" (Ben Moore) in the 1970s. James Lee Purify was cousin to the original Robert Lee Dickie formed in 1965.
I'd like to talk about their single So Many Reasons. It is a great song too.It's a song that some may not have heard. It's a single that comes from the album Shake A Tail Feather! The best of James & Bobby Purify released in 2002. The song So Many Reasons is telling all the reasons why someone is loved. James and Bobby are singing and telling the story. Songwriters knew how to write down in words the reasons why they loved someone in those days, and the singers didn't have a hard time expressing and explaining it. You could see and feel their emotions.

Reflections of my life was a 1969/1970 hit single for the Scottish band Marmalade. It was written by their lead guitarist Junior Campbell and singer Dean Ford. Released in late 1969, it was the band’s first release on Decca following an earlier spell at CBS.
The song went on to chart worldwide reaching number three in the UK in 1969, number 10 in the US and 1970 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number seven on the Cash Box Top 100. Initial sales were significant in both countries.
In the kind of world we're living in today, I often think of some of the words to the song. The part when Marmalade sings, “The world is a bad place, a bad place. A terrible place to live. Oh, but I don't wanna die.
Today the song is more than a song to me. The band was singing the way I feel right now. Reflections of My Life is a meaningful song. I love the guitars I hear in the song and the harmony of Marmalade. And most of all, the words.

Diana Ross. She rose to fame as the lead singer of the vocal group The Supremes, who became Motown's most successful act during the 1960s and one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. They remain the best-charting female group in history with a total of twelve number-one hit singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, including "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", "Stop! In the Name of Love", and "Love Child".
Following her departure from the Supremes in 1970, Ross embarked on a successful solo music career with the release of her eponymous debut solo album and its singles, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" – her first solo U.S. number-one hit – and "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)".
My favorite song from Diana Ross isAin’t No Mountain High Enough. She sang her version beautifully. I love her beginning speech to the song as the Motown Orchestra plays and the choir sings. Diana’s spoken voice is beautiful for the song saying: If you need, me call me.

Hello! I'm Gail Nobles.Welcome to Sound Flave. I don't know anyone that doesn't know anything about the Beatles. What I remember most about the Beatles is their hit song Let It Be. It was written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon McCartney partnership. It’s a wonderful song. It sounds as if it was written just for me, and some of you might feel the same.
At the time, it had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning its chart run at number 6 and eventually reaching the top. It was the Beatles' final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band.
McCartney said he had the idea of "Let It Be" after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the sessions for The Beatles ("the White Album") in 1968. Mary Patricia McCartney died of cancer in 1956, when he was fourteen. I can feel what McCartney went through, and his song certainly made me realize the meaning during the time my mother was leaving me.
Did you know that Billy Preston played organ and electric piano for the Beatles? He played the organ for the song Let It Be. I've also seen Billy Preston performed the song live on piano.
Well I hope that you're enjoying Sound Flave. Thank you for listening. -

Today's topic on SoundCloud: James Ingram he was a singer songwriter and producer James Ingram made thoughtful and beautiful love songs. I miss his voice and the style he had singing love songs. One of my favorite love songs by James Ingram is One Hundred Ways is a 1981 single released from Quincy Jones's album the dude on A&M records. The song reached number 14 on the US billboard Hot 100 in 1982. It was a bigger Adult Contemporary hit reaching number five in the US and number six in Canada. One Hundred Ways received the 1982 Grammy award for best R&B vocal performance.
After Ingram began his career in 1973, he charted eight top 40 hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart from the early 1980s until the early 1990s, as well as thirteen top 40 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In addition, he charted 20 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart (including two number-ones). He had two number-one singles on the Hot 100: the first, a duet with fellow R&B artist Patti Austin, 1982's "Baby, Come to Me" topped the U.S. pop chart in 1983; "I Don't Have the Heart", which became his second number-one in 1990 was his only number-one as a solo artist. In between these hits he also recorded other songs.
James Ingram passed away in Los Angeles of brain cancer in 2019. He was only 66 years old. Ingram was the best. He let us know there are many ways to express love.

Today on Sound : Dionne’s Déjà Vu.
Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and today I want to talk about the Dionne Warwick song Déjà Vu. It is a 1979 hit ballad written by Isaac Hayes with lyricist Adrienne Anderson, recorded by Dionne Warwick for her album Dionne which Barry Manilow produced. The song won Warwick a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 22nd Grammy Awards.
Issued in November 1979 as the album's second single – following up Warwick's top ten comeback hit "I'll Never Love This Way Again" – "Déjà Vu" rose to number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 25 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart in early 1980.
I remember the song Déjà Vu when it was played many times on the radio.And in the 70s, I don't remember the Grammy Awards airing live or anyone mentioning the Grammys until the 1980s. The Grammys aired live on television for the first time in 1971, but as much as I heard Dionne’s song on the radio, I knew it was a hit. Radio was how I knew.

Hello, I'm Gil Nobles and you’re listening to Sound Flave (Radiae Applis Soul). And today I'm going to talk about the Impressions. They were a music group originally in 1958. They had three R&B top five singles in 1974 to 1975. No. 1 Finally Got Myself Together. I'm A Changed Man (which also reach the pop top 20) and the No.3 singles “Same Thing It Took and Sooner or Later.
I want to talk about the single Same Thing It Took. There’s a good message in the song. The lyrics say: The reason a lot of people romances don't last is that they tend to forget so fast Same thing it took to get your baby hooked is gonna take the same thing to keep her.
I agree. Whatever you did the first time, you got to keep doing. Don’t get slack. The song came from the 1975 album titled First Impressions.
There is a lot of good answers in some of the oldies when it comes to relationship and love. Go back and listen to those old great singing groups like the Impressions.

Hi! I'm Gail Nobles & you're listening to Sound Flave (Radiae Applis Soul). The Soul Children was a vocal group who recorded soul music for Stax Records in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
They made a single titled Dont Take My Sunshine. It has a very soulful tune and is a very good song. It sounds like a song about losing someone, and the sunshine is the joy and happiness. The singer is asking his partner not to take it away. If you had your heart broken before, you might can feel and relate to the song.
The song was written by Bobby Newsome and was released in 1972. -

Today's topic A-ha. Do you remember the Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha? They were the band that made the single “Take On Me” in the 80s. Their music video for the single was amazing in the United States in October 1985. The single topped billboard Hot 100. The music video made me love the song. The video was a live action pencil sketch animation sequence. The video won 6 awards and was nominated for two others at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.
I love the way Morten Harket (the lead singer of the group) animated hand reached out of the comic book for the lady to take his hand who was reading the comic book in a café. She wasn’t animated until she took his hand to be in the comic book world with him. I thought it was the coolest music video I had ever seen. It only lasted a few minutes, but it told a big awesome story.
The band was in the video too. They were seen playing the keyboard and drums and guitar.
The woman had to escape the animated world and leave Morten Harket. When she was back in the café, she found the comic book throwed away, and she took it with her. She took her Harket with her. Take on me. That is the main idea of the story.
A-ha has released 11 studio albums to date, and topped the charts internationally after their breakthrough hit Take On Me in 1985.

Today's topic: Pale Jay.
Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Sound Flave - Radiae Applis Soul. Today we're going to talk about Pale Jay. He has a new album out titled Bewilderment. For some reason, he doesn't show his face. He wears a Tobaggan looking mask to hide it. So I have no idea what he looks like, but he sounds like a talented person through his music. According to his bio, he began to question the stories he had always live with and re-examined his identity. Bewilderment is his first full length album which strives to find answers to these questions and more. Pale Jay sounds like the kind of person that doesn't quit. I say he’s a warrior.
When I first heard Pale Jay's music, I said wow! I love his style and sound. I love the way he sings. According to Jay's bio, he is a trained jazz vocalist and pianist and he wrote, recorded, and produce all the songs on the album except for ‘By the Lake.’
You can hear his music and see his videos on YouTube. You can check it out his music also on Spotify.
Pale Jay! He’s making soul waves. He’s got soul. He’s a talented warrior. You’ve got to check him out. -

Hello, I’m Gail Nobles & you’re listening to Sound Flave Radiae Applis. Do you remember the R&B group Nu Shooz from the 80’s? You may remember them from their hits like “I Can’t Wait” from their second album “Tha’s Right” in 1985. And their song, “Point of No Return” which was the second single taken from the Nu Shooz album Poolside. The single was realeased in 1986.
Valerie Day was the lead singer of the group Nu Shooz in the 80’s along with her husband John Smith.
The music of Nu Shooz was so irresistible. They had a great baseline and beat in the song “I Can’t Wait." I remember a rap song came right after that. The title of the song was Spyder D - I Can’t Wait (To Rock the Mike) Featuring DJ Doc.
“They can’t wait to graduate, but I got to rock the mic. I can’t wait to rock the mic. You know I just can’t wait.” ..
The best days of music. The best days of R&B. The best days of hip hop.
The last I heard Valerie Day and John Smith of Nu Shooz are still rocking. They make time seem like it stood still. The last I heard, the group still tour today, but recently, according to nushoozmusic.com, there are no upcoming tour dates.
They have an album out now called “Bagtown." I love the single, Bagtown.
“Always something going on when you go down to Bagtown.”
That’s a nice single. You’ve got to hear it. You can hear the whole album on nushoozmusic.com. They have more songs.
I’m Gail Nobles. Tune in again next time for more on Sound Flave Radiae Applis. .. - Mehr anzeigen
