Video: Zuco 103, "La Mangueira" from 2005 still rocks!

As I do not have to worry about who is or who is not listening to Funk Sanctum Radio on live365.com because it is now hosted here, it is free for me! Two of my coworkers who are a lot younger than me retired. I had to retire from something so I let live365.com go. It is true there is only room for three songs here, but that could grow depending on your desires. Do you think Granny should retire from sharing music altogether and bring out the rocking chair?

Here is some wonderful music from Zuco103 "Na Mangueira," which brightened my day and hopefully you will feel the joy:

Robin McKelle Sings Soul Soothing Songs

Excitement is an understatement describing the feeling of seeing and hearing Robin for the first time yesterday (yes, we are on first-name basis already). Robin McKelle is fun to watch, has a great voice, and I can't wait to see her live. Seeing her has given me hope that music is alive and well on  Planet Earth. Being a broadcaster has its merits because otherwise, CyberPR would not have contacted me with this goodie:

Some other opinions of Robin McKelle:

"Singer Robin McKelle blends soul and R&B while avoiding today’s retro tendencies. Her music is the product of her long exposure to gospel, soul, and blues. She grew up listening to Gladys Knight and Nina Simone (among other classics), and it’s clear she aims to write music in the same soulful vein as her influences.

"McKelle’s insightful lyrics reflect the state of the world today. “You turn on the radio in the morning, you turn on the TV in the evening, and all you hear is ‘crisis, crisis, crisis.” There’s something gritty about her music; the mixture of her poignant words, familiar melodies, strong voice, and electric stage presence evokes a call to action in the listener that is rarely found with other musicians.

“Not since Dusty Springfield invaded Memphis has a white female singer dished up so flavorful a bucket of soul” –Jazz Times

Since Funk Sanctum Radio is no longer hosted on live365.com, this blog is the New Home of Funk Sanctum Radio.  Clink that link at the top of the page, share some love today, and let's go!
