Today I'm thinking of The Sweet Inspirations welcome to the Podcast Oldies Show.
The Sweet Inspirations are Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick. Doris Joy, and Cissy Houston. An R&B girl group mostly known for their work as backup singers on studio recordings for other R&B and rock artists. A founding member of the group was Dionne Warwick, who was later replaced by her aunt, Cissy Houston.
The Sweet Inspirations was founded by former members of The Drinkard Singers, a long-running Gospel singing group whose membership included Cissy Houston (née Drinkard), mother of Whitney Houston, and Lee Warwick, who was Cissy's sister and the mother of Sweet Inspirations members Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick.
As a backup group, the Sweet Inspirations was in high demand among producers, publishers, artists, and songwriters in the early 1960s. The original lineup included Doris Troy and the two Warwick sisters, Dionne and Dee Dee. Both Troy and Dionne Warwick enjoyed solo careers with hits in 1963, "Just One Look" and "Don't Make Me Over" respectively, on which the Sweet Inspirations can be heard.
The group saying they song entitled Sweet Inspiration. Sweet Inspiration is the title of a Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham composition written for, and first recorded in 1967 by, the Sweet Inspirations. It became a Top 20 hit reaching #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1968.

Today we're going to talk about David Ruffin and the song Statue of a Fool. Hello! I'm Gail Nobles welcome to the oldies show. Statue of a Fool is a song written by Jan Crutchfield which has been recorded by a number of country artist.
But when you hear the voice of David Ruffin singing it, it sounds different and the song credit names are both Jan Crutchfield and David Ruffin. The song comes from David's album Who Am I released in 1975. Statue of a Fool became a hit for David.
I've seen David Ruffin performed the song with the Temptations. During his performance, he would stand still like a statue. It sounds as if someone considered himself in the lyrics a foolish person in a relationship. David acted out the powerful words very well, and the song had a soulful melody, and now the song is a classic. When David sings the song, I can feel the emotion coming from him. When your heart is broken, it can be hard to get over someone to move on. So maybe that's why the song is called Statue of a Fool.
Statue of a Fool is a powerful song. It is a great example of what great songs are all about. The song is timeless.

Have you ever heard of a duo called Kool Blues? They are a duo that remains reminds me of another duo call Sam and Dave. Kool Blues are two singers named John Prim and William Gilbert. They are a soul duo that remind me of Sam and Dave when they sing a song titled “I'm Gonna Keep On Loving You." It's a song that was released in 1972 on Capsoul Records.
Some of you might remember Kool Blues and their songs and some of you may not. It's my first time hearing them and their song I'm Gonna Keep On Loving You. It's a song that's new to me. It's like a new oldie to add onto the playlist.
So when you have time, give Kool Blues a listen. They have other great songs too.

Welcome to the Podcast Oldies Show. Today you hear about a group call Black Ivory.
Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Black Ivory was originally known as the Mellow Souls and formed in Harlem New York in the summer of 1969. The group got their start by auditioning over the phone with musician Patrick Adams. Adams began to train and develop the group.
The group featured songwriter and prolific disco producer Leroy Burgess, Stewart
Bascombe, and Russell Patterson. They were managed by Patrick Adams and executive at the Today/Perception record company. Burgess was the lead voice of the majority of their hits in the early 1970s. Their 1972 debut album Don't Turn Around became a top 20 hit spending 19 weeks on the Billboard R&B albums chart and peeking at number 13. Black Ivory scored three top 40 R&B hits in 1972 including the singles Don't Turn Around (number 38) and You and I (number 32) from their debut album.
The group recorded several uptempo songs in the disco vein, such as "Big Apple Rock", "Walking Downtown (On a Saturday Night)", "What Goes Around (Comes Around)" and, later, "Mainline" but, not being known for the style, they were unable to compete when disco became the dominant music style.
I love some of the group ballads such as: You Mean Everything To Me.
In 1995, the group reunited and returned to the stage on the Classic Soul circuit, featuring all three original members, with Stuart Bascombe doing most of the leads.

28 SEP. 2023 · Hello I'm Gail Nobles on the Podcast Oldies Show. Before I get started, I just want you to know about a Facebook page to follow calked Keep Our Music Alive. They remind you of all the great singers, music groups, and bands. That’s Keep Our Music Alive on Facebook.
From that very page, I found out about a group called Jimmy Briscoe and The Little Beavers.
In the 1970s, when The Jackson 5's popularity gave rise to many other teenage groups, five young men from Baltimore, Maryland were discovered at a talent show in Baltimore by music promoter Paul Kyser. They recorded a number of singles, starting with Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers' "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", backed with "Sugar Brown", in 1971 on Atlantic Records and then for the Pi Kappa label distributed by Buddah Records as one of its subsidiary/affiliated labels. Their album My Ebony Princess, released by Pi Kappa in 1974, was reviewed as a "top album pick" by Billboard magazine;[3] the title cut gave them their greatest success. The group's vocal harmony set them apart from the other groups, though lack of distribution left them relatively unknown to the public. Other releases included "Where Were You (When I Needed You)", "I Only Feel This Way When I'm With You", "I'll Care For You", and "So Sweet The Love".

Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings made an electrifying song, I Learned the Hard Way.
(Singing Song)
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, I Learned the Hard Way. They made a video for that song.it was like a movie and Sharon Jones was a great actress in the video. The backup singers were great in some of the scenes just singing.
I learned the Hard Way is a great song that you can feel. I Learned the Hard Way is the name of Sharon Jones & The Dap-King’s fourth studio album. It was released in April of 2010 on Daptone Records. The album debuted at number 15 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 23,00 copies in its first week. Upon its release, I Learned the Hard Way received generally positive reviews from most music critics.
The single I Learned The Hard Way is a song written by Bosco Mann. He is the producer behind the signature sound of Daptone Records as well as a bandleader and bassist for the Dap-Kings. He wrote an amazing song with an amazing sound. It’s a song that should be played forever on the radio. In my opinion, it’s a timeless classic.
