    Hello, I’m Gail Nobles,and you’re listening to stories, Actors, and Film. In 1957, a special musical group called the Marquees was formed in Washington, D.C. They started out as the Rainbows, but changed their name as they evolved. The Marquees were known for their doo-wop music, a popular style that combines vocal harmonies and catchy rhythms.

    One of the most famous members of the Marquees was Marvin Gaye, who would go on to have a huge solo career. The Marquees didn't just perform their own music; they also supported other well-known artists like Bo Diddley and Billy Stewart, providing their talented vocal harmonies.

    In addition to the work they did as the Marquees, the group also recorded under a different name, the New Moonglows, with singer Harvey Fuqua. This helped them reach more audiences and share their music widely.

    Overall, the Marquees played an important role in the doo-wop scene and contributed to the rich history of American music.

    Podcast: The Journey of Shared Burdens (The Weight)
    Podcast inspired by: The Staple Singers
    Keyboardist: Gail Nobles

    There’s a song about everything we go through. A story about me and you. My story reflects the themes of the song ‘The Weight’ by The Staple Singers .

    Sometimes I’m a weary traveler on a journey to find hope and purpose. As I walk, I encounter people from all walks of life who are struggling with their own burdens.

    I’ve met people who felt lost and alone. I have tried to offer them companionship and encouragement. Together we try to share our struggles. Some people carry the weight of sadness. I try to help them see the light and to remind them that they are not alone.

    Finally, I realize that, though I had been on a challenging path. The connections I made along the way had transformed my journey together with the friends I met. They created a community where no one had to carry their weight alone.

    When you have time, give ‘The Weight’ a listen by The Staple Singers. I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Actors, Stories, and Film .

    I vividly recall the moment I first encountered Irene Cara's anthem, "What A Feeling." Instantly, I sensed it was destined for great success. The song captured my heart from the very first note. The opening lines touched deeply, almost feeling like she was speaking directly to me: “First, when there’s nothing but a slow glowing dream.” And then, as the tempo quickens, I find myself swept away, caught up in the exhilarating rush of “Well, I hear the music…”The song became more challenging for me when Irene Cara launched into the chorus of "What I Feelin’." My mom always said it was a fantastic tune for me to practice my singing skills. As the years passed, my mom grew increasingly worried about the silence surrounding Irene Cara in the music scene.

    In 2022, my mother had already passed away, leaving a void that was hard to fill. I stumbled upon Irene Cara's song once more and decided to look her up on social media, hoping to drop her a birthday message. After sending my wishes, I found myself eagerly awaiting her response. A few months later, the news hit me hard: Irene had passed away too in November. It was a deep blow, especially as I watched so many of my beloved stars leave us. All I could think was, "What now? Not another one." It felt like something was terribly wrong with so many icons departing from this world.

    In July 2025, I found myself captivated by some videos of Irene Cara. As I listened, I felt a gentle message in her voice, reassuring me: "It's okay. Go on through." It seemed that Irene didn't want her passing to cast a shadow over my life and wanted me to move forward. Instead, she encouraged me to embrace life to the fullest, to remain focused on the present and the future, rather than lingering in the sadness of her absence. I could almost hear her say, "You've got that rhythm. You've got that feeling."

    Well, that's the story for today. Thank you for listening to Actories, Stories, and Film. I'm your host: Gail Nobles.
