  7:49pm
Gary Harris:

You are getting it in! Linda Jones? Hypnotized was crazy! I'm listening to you, and writing my blog. Btw, Community Baptist is a 10 minute walk from the crib I lived in as a kid. Keep doing your ting xo :-)

Hi Gary, I was just remembering how they used the uno-dos-tres from the Gil Scott-Heron original in the bootleg edit of "Love is the Message."

  8:22pm
Don (trip dub):

When I was covering the AES show still at the Waldorf, over a Klipsch speaker in the Stereo Review room there it was in all its glory for the first time 'Rappers Delight'. Me and the rest of the room, mesmerized, stopped cold, and listened.

  8:32pm
Doug S:

Love on a two-way rink!
  8:32pm

Probably her greatest song. But (folks weigh in on this please) did she write it, or did she "write" it?
  8:34pm

amazing show! thanks monica. how did sugar hill get the rights to "good
time?" any stories about that?
  8:38pm
Dan Charnas:

Ha!
  8:41pm
Dan Charnas:

the studio burning down was a BIG blow to Sylvia's psyche, according to her sister
  8:46pm
Dan Charnas:

I'm a little late on this part of the discussion, but yeah, "seminal" — kind of a sexist and ironic term to describe a woman's contributions. What would the female equivalent be? "Ovoal?" [Again, my wife chimes in: "The female equivalent is 'germinal'" She's brilliant.]
  8:47pm
monica:

dan, thanks for chiming in. yeah, musta been her baby....thank you, michael c!...and you too, cbuno!... gary, what's lady b up to these days? ...brian, any other info i need to cram in here??? thanks debbie d and bruceleh!

West Street. The big one downtown Englewood, the L-shaped one.

  8:51pm
Gary Harris:

Dan- Oh, the one where I worked. Which sister, Diane?
  8:52pm
mr c:

Here's to Rowena Harris, ace all promotion wunderkund!!
  8:53pm
Brian C.:

Garage classic "We Got the Funk" one of the very few times Sylvia returned to disco after Sugar Hill Gang hit. Viola Wills "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" was the other.
  8:53pm
mr c:

For Sylvia and Joe, that is.
  8:54pm
Don (trip dub):

One more memory about Flash & Furious 5. They killed in the '84 NO Jazzfest. Again the audience was mesmerized.
  8:55pm
Dan Charnas:

@Gary: Yes, Diane.
  8:56pm
monica:

Earlier song played "you broke my heart so I broke your jaw". This was later the title of a Spooky Tooth album featuring Gary Wright of the "Dream Weaver" hit fame.
