Hell yes... This voice is heavenly

I guess maybe I missed out on "pretty" music in general.
I was deep into industrial and prog and later folk and blues but never really hit a pure singer stage.

It is time for the era of the vocalist

detour but I love listening to this song when I get out of work and feeling like it's playing over the opening credits of my 70's Detective Show:

Death Becomes Her / DarkMan double feature - Theme: Hollywood'll Kill Ya

I saw Death Becomes Her in a packed theater after a drag show a few months back and it ruled, really haven’t seen that movie til you see it with a screaming drunk audience of drag queens

I had no exposure to funk/soul growing up in a very, very white part of Pennsylvania so seriously if anyone has any other essential listens I'd love some recommendations. It's a huge blind spot in my musical knowledge and Wonder and Al Green are basically my only footholds in right now

Speaking as someone in basically the same boat (the whitest possible small town in Ohio in my case) I'll throw Cameo on the recommendations pile. CHIC too. (If there's a firm dividing line between funk, soul, and disco, I don't know what it is and I don't care). Good Times is an obvious choice, but it's also a serious contender for my favorite song.

In that case I'd also recommend Otis Redding and Bobby Womack. Frank Ocean too. Stuff like The Ronettes are fun and great singers, a little boring but important history. Be my Baby is a fun song.

When did that happen

quote:

Hayes took his first Scientology course in 1993,[52] later contributing endorsement blurbs for many Scientology books over the ensuing years. In 1996, Hayes began hosting The Isaac Hayes and Friends Radio Show on WRKS in New York City. While there, Hayes became a client of the vegan raw food chef Elijah Joy and his company Organic Soul Inc. Hayes also appears in the Scientology film Orientation. In 1998, Hayes and fellow Scientologist entertainers Anne Archer, Chick Corea and Haywood Nelson attended the 30th anniversary of Freedom Magazine, the Church of Scientology's self-described investigative news journal, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, to honor eleven activists.[53] In 2001, Hayes and Doug E. Fresh, another Scientologist musician, recorded a Scientology-inspired album called The Joy Of Creating – The Golden Era Musicians And Friends Play L. Ron Hubbard.[54]
