boba Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I was supposed to do an interview today on my radio show but the guys had an emergency and had to reschedule. Instead, I did an all socially conscious, Black Power themed show in honor of both Martin Luther King Day as well as Barack Obama's inauguration (Barack also happens to live a few blocks from the radio station).

Djmelismo Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 https://www.sittinginthepark.co m/1-18-2009.mp3 Hi Bob! Great show, or I should say great shows in the plural, because I´ve listened to both and enjoyed them immensely! However, the first link was broken, because of a space between the "o" and the "m" in "com", so I had to retype it. Out of all the brilliant tunes played I think John Brothers´ "Try to Walk a Mile" is actually my #1 favourite, a great tune written and produced by Bunny Sigler, when a record bears his signature it is bound to be soulful! Best regards Mel

Best regards Mel thanks a lot for the feedback, sorry about the broken link, I think it was a copy/paste problem. Do you know anything about the john brothers (besides that they were probably from philly due to Bunny Sigler's involvement)? Thanks.
Djmelismo Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) thanks a lot for the feedback, sorry about the broken link, I think it was a copy/paste problem. Do you know anything about the john brothers (besides that they were probably from philly due to Bunny Sigler's involvement)? Thanks. Some very interesting info here: https://souldennis.blogspot.com/2008/08/joh...-free-1980.html I´ve been in contact with "Dennis" before, he has loads of rare records in his collection. Keith John, one of the John Brothers has been touring with Stevie Wonder for many years. When Stevie did a show in Stocholm some five years ago I was there and had the pleaure of seeing and hearing Keith John perform live on stage. Also have one late-80´s solo recording by Keith John, he is a great singer. Somehow when Sigler is the songwriter/producer of a record the vocals are normally very soulful and melismatic, maybe because the lead singers try to emulate the way Bunny vocalled them on his demo versions.
