Kicking off 2020, I wanted to focus on songs that carry the instrumentation that really evokes the soul, such as funky bass lines, strings, and horns…
When Somebody Loves You Back – Teddy Pendergrass
11 September 2019
I couldn’t have a playlist full of soulful songs to warm the soul without the incomparable Teddy Pendergrass. While Teddy Pendergrass has multiple songs that I could choose from, countless hits with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and numerous solo hits, “When Somebody Loves You Back” has been my favorite Teddy P song for many years…
Never Knew Love Like This Before – Stephanie Mills
16 July 2019
Another great soul filled track, that fits perfectly on this playlist. “Never Knew Love Like This Before” by Stephanie Mills was released in 1980, off the heels of the disco era.

It’s the Same Old Song – The Four Tops
23 April 2019
This playlist could not truly live up to its title without a Motown track. For me the sound of Motown is truly the music of my soul, because it was my true introduction to music. Before I came into this world my father constantly kept Motown records playing, as this was the soundtrack to his childhood; so naturally it became the soundtrack to mine…

Love Me in a Special Way – Tamia
5 March 2019
Sometimes all you need is a piano and AMAZING vocals! And Tamia doesn’t deliver nothing but amazement on this cover version of DeBarge’s 1983 single “Love Me in a Special Way.” Let’s be clear, any cover of a DeBarge song is no easy task if you truly understand the depth of family talent held between the siblings;…
