SUNDAY Playlist 📀[28 January 2024]💿 (Fact & Audio Edition)
1. Donald Byrd - Think Twice (DiCE Edit)
"Think Twice", a 1974 song by Donald Byrd from Stepping into Tomorrow, covered by many artists. With its unmistakable break, clean cut drums and iconic progressions, nothing on Stepping Into Tomorrow packs a punch quite like ‘Think Twice’. Released as a 7″ soon after, the memorable theme that Byrd was first responsible for has been revisited, reworked and re-imagined several times, this DiCE edit I admire the most.
2. Millie Jackson & Isaac Hayes - You Never Cross My Mind
Real Name: Mildred Virginia Jackson was born July 15, 1944, in Thomson, GA (US).
She is an American R'n'B and soul singer-songwriter and former model. Beginning her career in the early 1960s, three of her albums have been certified gold by the RIAA for over 500,000 copies. Her vocal performances are often distinguished by long, humorous, and explicit spoken sections in her music, which she started doing on stage to get the attention of the audience. She's the mother of the R'n'B singer Keisha Jackson.“You Never Cross My Mind” by Millie Jackson & Isaac Hayes was written by Rafe Van Hoy, Deborah Allen & Curly Putman.
3. Skip Mahoaney & The Casuals - Town Called No-Where
US soul music artist, founding member of The Casuals in 1965. Harrison Hoaney grew up in the rough Southwestern quadrant of the District of Columbia known as Ladroit Park. Populated with unsavory, if not criminal, characters, Harrison’s neighborhood reminded him of the film serial The Bowery Boys. Leo Gorcey portrayed the titular ne’er-do-wells’ leader “Slip” Mahoney, and noting the similarity in their last names “Skip” Mahoaney stuck as his nickname. Town Called No-Where was written by James Purdie & Skip Mahoaney. Harrison died in March 2020.

American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word soul performer and his collaborative work with musician Brian Jackson. His collaborative efforts with Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues and soul music, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. The music of these albums, most notably Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul.
6. Kim Weston - Whats Gonna Happen To Me

12. Leon Haywood - Long As There’s You
Real Name: Otha Leon Haywood (b.February 11, 1942, Houston, Texas, USA – d.April 5, 2016, Los Angeles, California, USA) was an American funk and soul singer, songwriter and record producer. Leon Haywood founded the Evejim Records label in the 1980's.An accomplished songwriter and arranger who periodically dented the charts in the 1970's, Haywood never pretended to be an innovator. His hits are cheerful derivations of '70's mid-tempo funk and romantic ballads, usually embellished by smooth string charts. Haywood's roots extend way further back than the '70's. In the early '60's he toured and recorded with R&B saxophonist Big Jay McNeely's band (which also backed Sam Cooke on the road). In the mid-'60's, he had his first chart entry with "She's With Her Other Love" on Imperial. In 1967, he had a solid R&B hit (and small pop one) with "It's Got to Be Mellow," whose commercial soul sound betrayed his Motown influence.
He didn't come into his own as a solo artist until the mid-'70's, when he had big R&B hits with "Strokin'," "Come and Get Yourself Some," and "Keep It in the Family." His biggest single, "I Want'a Do Something Freaky to You", crossed over to the Top 20 pop listings. The disco-ish "Don't Push It Don't Force It" was his biggest splash, making number two R&B in 1980. After the mid-'80's, he eased out of the record business into business ventures; in the 1990's, he produced blues albums by Jimmy McCracklin and others on his own EveJim label.
