They were there. This isn’t the first time.

My appreciation for this show just grew exponentially. And it’s because of guests like BAM. His breakdown of Right Here remix was noteworthy, not to be messy, but to underline how people who lack cache fall through the cracks. I say this as a huge Teddy fan, I’m glad to know the names of the others responsible for that record. And for what it’s worth, the original was dope when I heard it years later. I was so confused why it never reached anyone.

@darrellmccall6100 3 месяца назад

And J. Valentine ...you don’t have to be always right. Let the guests speak their experience and truth. This is an informative podcast; you want all experiences, facts, and perspectives to be heard. Still, ultimately, it is about your guests and their process of educating people who want to get into this business. Perspective can be debatable, but rules are not. There are always "unwritten rules," but he explained the actual rules with permissions allowed, and he would know. Always remember your position and the goals of this podcast. This will also enable other guests to feel comfortable coming on and explaining their journey. Much respect to this podcast.

@Bbz384 3 месяца назад

Agreed. I didn’t like this part of the conversation. J. Valentine needs to let the guest speak. And let them talk about their perspective of the business. Also, it’s like dude were you there. Lol

@@msmojo1 He seems to be sharp, and he also reads comments. I have noticed it in other interviews, too, and maybe no one says anything to him.

Before I tune into the R&B Money podcast, I listen to music from various genres and generations while walking on my treadmill. Today, before your show, my ears and soul were graced by Al Green's melodic inquiry, "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" My Lord!!! During Brian Alexander Morgan's interview, I began to understand, more specifically, the dynamics of lyrical and instrumental placement. This is why the violinist and organist accompaniment in How Can You Mend take Al's vocals to another level. Props to phenomenal songwriters like Tank, J Valentine, Alexander, and even the Bee Gees, who wrote How Can You Mend. Finally, I love the information you two gifted, beautiful, brilliant brothers and your guests share with the community--it's worth R&B Money!!! Because I come from a music-oriented family, watching your podcast is like going home. Thank$

These brothers are absolutely right about the ad libs really making a difference in songs. I've studied Johnny Gill when it comes to ad libs and they are out of this world. For instance there is a song by Boyz II Men entitled Trying Times. At the 2:43 mark they sing "I see contentment because of you." It is a simple line but Wanya Morris does a run after they sing the words "because of you" and then he simply sings "yeah." afterwards. Even though it's very simple words but it's something remarkable about the way he sings that exchange.

I’ve been WAITING for this Ep! SWV is my FAVE GROUP ever (male/female it makes no diff). And “It’s About Time” started it ALL for me…so hearing the background of this GENIUS was fantastic! He dropped SO many gems (I’m listening to Tramaine Hawkins, Martha Wash AND the Gap Band song he mentioned). But his “I ain’t sayin’ no names” start was HILARIOUS! “OKAY, so I was on the set of MISSY ELLIOT’s “I Can’t Stand the Rain” video…” LOLOL 😂
