    ONE NOTE JAM 🎹

    Hello, I’m Gail Nobles. Welcome to One Note Jam where we focus on a singular topic in each episode. Today’s topic: Dames Brown.

    Let’s talk about a trio that’s been turning heads since they hit the scene in 2008 – that’s right, I’m talking about Dames Brown from Detroit! Now, I know I mentioned them back in 2021 on One Note Jam, but let me tell you, they are still making waves.

    They’ve got a brand-new single out called “You’re The One For Me.” Now, this isn’t just any version; Dames Brown takes it and really makes it their own! When I first heard them, they kicked off the song with some stunning acapella harmonies that completely blew me away! Honestly, I didn’t even realize at first that it was a cover of the classic by D Train.

    But oh boy, as soon as the music kicked in, it became all clear! The vibes were recognizable, but what set them apart were those incredible female voices. They bring a unique flavor and emotion to the song that’s just beautiful. Their rendition of “You’re The One For Me” is fresh and exciting, reminding us why we love. So if you haven’t checked them out yet, do yourself a favor and give Dames Brown a listen! They are truly something special.

    Hello, I’m Gail Nobles! Let's take a little trip back to the breezy days of the '70s and talk about a catchy tune that still sticks in your head: James Taylor's "Handy Man." If you were cruising down the road or hanging out at home, you likely caught this song blaring on AM radio, and boy, did it make an impression!

    Now, here’s a fun fact: James Taylor's version of "Handy Man" came out in 1977 on his album "JT." This song wasn't just a one-hit wonder; it had a bit of history! Originally, it was a hit for Del Shannon back in 1964, but Taylor really took it to another level when he released it. In fact, his version zoomed all the way to the top and became the most popular rendition ever! It reached No. 1 on the RPM Top Singles chart in Canada, No. 2 on the Cash Box Top 100, and even made it to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. Not to mention, it topped the Adult Contemporary chart. It created a success story!

    And let's not forget the magic of that backup singer, Leah Kunkel. Her harmonies brought an extra special touch to the track, especially with those "comma comma" parts that just make you want to sing along.

    James Taylor's version not only won the hearts of many but also snagged him his second Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. It's been almost 50 years since "Handy Man" first hit the airwaves, but it still feels fresh to listen to today.

    So, next time you hear that classic on the radio, take a moment to appreciate the catchy hooks and smooth vibes that James Taylor brought to this timeless tune!

    Song: No Better Love

    You know, we meet a lot of people, and we hear a lot of stories. But every so often, a voice comes along that seems to exist outside of time, outside of the trends. A voice that doesn't just perform a song, but seems to channel something… universal.

    That was Whitney Houston.

    We’ve been thinking about her lately, about that incredible instrument of a voice and the sheer style she brought to everything she did. And it occurs to me that Whitney’s music and style can… transcend. Long after the news cycles have moved on, her art remains, as powerful and clear as the day it was recorded.

    There’s something about her music that simply… inspires. It pulls something up and out of you. I was thinking about that just the other day, and a melody, a feeling, just floated into my mind. I could hear Whitney singing these words, with that perfect blend of gospel power and pop grace:

    *“There is no better love.*Now, these words came from my mind,*There is no better love.*But I was *hearing* Whitney. *I need you here beside me.**I need you here to guide me.*There is no better love.”

    That’s the mark of a true artist, isn’t it? They become a vessel for our own hopes, our own faith, our own need for connection and guidance. She gave a voice to the feelings we all have but can't always express so beautifully.

    It’s a reminder that the greats never really leave us. Their work becomes a part of our own internal landscape, a soundtrack we can call upon for strength, for comfort, for a moment of pure, unvarnished inspiration.

    And for that… there is no better love.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Whitney Soul Podcast.
