Don Carroll - The Most Necessary Touch 1982 (45")

Image
Donn Carroll is an unknown singer to me. I discovered him absolutely by chance two years ago. I had the opportunity to listen to a great gospel song entitled " The Most Necessary Touch ". This song was released as a single on Covenant Records in 1982. It was also included on the album which was released on the same label at the same period. It was recorded at Southern Tracks Studio, Atlanta,G.A. It was written by himself. Produced by himself and arranged by Lari Goss. I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Tyrone Perry - Loving You 1975 (45")

Image
Hello my friends, I decided to present a record vinyl 45" by a saxophone player Tyrone Perry. His real name is John Tyrone Perry . He is a producer, arranger and of course a saxophone player. He is not very well-known. He started arranging for the group Steptones in the late 60s. He also continued  collaborating with them in the 70s. Specifically in 1975, he was the arranger on the song " Success Don't Come Easy " of Steptones. The vinyl record 45" was released on Fast Track Records. In the same year, he collaborated as an arranger with the famous group The Dramatics and also as a saxophone player with the singer Sugar Billy. The same year he released a vinyl record 45" entitled " Loving You " on Gold Future Records. It was recorded at Gold-Future Studio. This song is an instrumental soulful tune with solo flute and saxophone accompanied from backing vocals. I prefer the flip-side because it is only with saxophone solo and backing

Hello my friends, I am in the unpleasant position to announce sad news. The legendary, prodigious drummer and singer of jazz music Grady Tate died on Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 85. Grady Tate has affected my musical life because for many years I was looking for a rare vinyl record which includes a fantastic song that today is one of my all-time favorite songs. In 1984 the composer, producer and guitarist of jazz music, Rudy Stevenson booked the A&R Recording Studio in New York City so as Grady Tate and Gwynne Micheals-Hearns to record his songs " Love Wind " and " It's T ime To Settle Down ". Both songs were included on the vinyl record which was released on Zeus Records. During my effort to find the vinyl record, Rudy Stevenson and the trumpet player Barrie Lee Hall Jr died. I had tried to come in contact with them before they passed away.  I found the vinyl record in 2013. http://www.npr.org/2017/10/10/556916456/grady-tate-prodigious-

Rick Bowen & Teresa Von - Want My Love 1980 (45")

Image
Helllo my friends, I had the pleasure to present Rick Bowen and his album " Want My Love " three years ago. The album includes some nice songs with a variety of music styles. I recently discovered a rare vinyl record 45" that includes the song " Want My Love ". This song is a duet with Rick Bowen & Teresa Von. It is a different version than the album's one. In the disco version of the album the female vocalist Sue Robinson accompanies Rick Bowen on vocals. I came in contact with Rick Bowen himself and he told me that this vinyl record 45" was released at the same time with the album in 1980. Even though a year later disco music was dead, they tried to create a disco song for the album. However the final result was excellent! The previous Sunday I included this rare song (version 45") on my playlist on the web radio Coni-OnAir .

Throughout the years, Budweiser Showdown has organized various events across the country through radio stations, in order to discover the next musical superstar.

Jimmy McGriff featuring Yollanda McCullough - Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue 1978

Hello my friends, I'm going to leave for holidays this weekend, so I'm not presenting my broadcast next Sunday on Coni-OnAir . For this reason, I decided to present you a little-known record 45" which was released by legendary organist Jimmy McGriff in 1978. It is worthy to note that this 45" includes the song " Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue " which was never included in any Jimmy McGriff's album. I bought it because I noticed that the name of the female singer Yolanda McCullough was on the vinyl's label and that's why I was vey curious to listen to this song. Yolanda McCullough started in the early 70s with some advertising jingles. Later she sang as backing vocalist for the Eddie Floyd's album in 1975. In 1975 recolated from Detroit to New York. She collaborated with many artists like Diana Ross, Ashford & Simpson, Luther Vandross and others. Totally she released three albums from 1979 to 1982. The best album in my
