The Throwback Lounge W/ty Cool

 A lot has happened in our lives thus far in the new year family, and we're reminding ourselves to stay strong.  For some of us, the loss of loved ones can weigh on us deeply.  Yet and still, we continue to press forward, for it's our turn in the journey to carry the load that our elders and ancestors set forth.  Be that as it may, we rejoice that our loved ones remained with us for so long.  I guess we can say that the child in us wishes that the people we love could live forever, yet we know things aren't made that way.  This Mother's Day is a bit different for many of us.  I say to you out there, feel no fret.  God got this and us. Let's keep striving.  With that said, Happy Mother's Day to all of our beautiful mothers out there around the world.  Now, we move onward with the show.  In this episode, we just keep it mostly classic, as we have some Brainstorm, some Michaell Henderson, Bootsy's Rubber Band, Boyz II Men, and the list goes on.  Always remember, if you have a request, drop us a line at greatsoul

     Ronnie Wright Jr. is one humbled spirit.  No matter the accomplishments, he remains humble and supportive.  Ronnie's upbringing in the church is definitely found in his sound, make no mistakes about it.  When we first heard the Bespeak: Love LP, we could tell that it was something special, an album that is worth the spins.  We hope this interview finds you in great spirits, and just ready to have a good time listening to great conversation.  Now, yours truly did ask questions, yet it is safe to say that Bro. Ronnie and yours truly were more into just hanging out and talking about the sound of Portland.  There is something special brewing out there, that definitely needs to be heard more frequently nationally and worldwide.  We talked about Bro. Ronnie's upbringing, some of the history of the Portland sound, the negatives of the music business, the purpose of getting the music heard, the latest Bespeak LP, and a whole lot more.  Oh yeah, we do get it in with the great sounds of Darryl Anders Agapesoul, J.

Yours truly cannot deny..... Grandma is sorely missed.  Her smile, her singing, her cooking, her overall joy is missed.  The joy in all of it is this: she was able to see all of us grow up, and become productive.  Yours truly is thankful to have had her into his adult years.  If anything, her vibe would be for us to get back to the mission of spinning these jams, and uplifting those that listen in under the sound of our voices.  And that is exactly what we've set our sights on too, and we do it well.  Now, with that said, it's onward with the show.  In this episode, we've new music from the legendary band Dynasty, and the bad boy of indie soul, the great Bey Bright.  We tie it all in with the classics from Lady T, Teena Marie, Shalamar, Bill Summers & Summers' Heat, and the list goes on and on.
