    Hello, I’m Gail Nobles. Welcome to EAGLE HARP. I got to tell you something. Have you ever looked for a song and couldn’t find ? For several years, I have been searching for a song titled "Superwoman," which I remember hearing on the radio between 1979 and 1980. I asked a DJ if he recognized it, but nobody I spoke to seemed familiar with it. I even tried singing a few lines, but still, no one could place the tune. I was convinced that the song existed, so I looked up Casey Kasey of American Top 40, thinking I might find some mention of it, but came up empty.

    Off and on for a few years, I conducted searches online, but the results only led me to songs by Karyn White or Stevie Wonder. Several artists have tracks with "Superwoman" in the title, yet none matched what I was looking for. I even asked AI and searched on YouTube, but I couldn't find anything. I had no luck.

    Then one day, I searched again on YouTube and typed in "Superwoman Can Do It Disco 1982." While I found "Superwoman 1976" by The Beginning of the End", that wasn’t the song I remembered. However, in the left-hand column, I noticed a track titled "Super-Wolf" on the Sugarhill label. I thought, "That’s probably not it, but some rappers back then did incorporate singing." Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to check it out. When I finally heard the tune to "Super-Wolf," I couldn't contain my excitement. I shouted, "Yes! That’s my song!"

    In the world of hip-hop, James E. Wolfe, better known as Super-Wolf, made a significant impact as a rap artist and radio DJ. He stood out for his unique style, which combined rhythmic speech over strong bass beats, lively horn sections, and catchy tunes. One of his most famous songs, "Super-Wolf Can Do It.” It became a hit in his home state of Tennessee. The popularity of this track caught the attention of Sugarhill Records, which eventually released it. What's interesting is that all of Super-Wolf's music was produced under his own label, Big Bad Wolf Records, showcasing his dedication to maintaining creative control over his work. Super-Wolf was truly one of the pioneers in the rap scene, paving the way for future artists with his innovative sound and catchy melodies.

    Today topic: Toni Braxton. I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Eagle Harp.

    Toni Michele Braxton, this ain't just your average singer, see? We're talkin' about a woman who's climbed the ladder, rung every bell, and snagged more awards than you can shake a stick at! Seven Grammys? NINE Billboard Music Awards?

    Started out with her sisters, The Braxtons, a sweet little R&B act... but LA Reid and Babyface, those cats knew what was up! Saw the star power in Toni and snatched her up for LaFace Records! BAM! 1993, the self-titled debut hits like a ton of bricks! Number ONE on the Billboard 200! "Another Sad Love Song," "Breathe Again"... tunes that just *ooze* heartbreak and raw emotion! You couldn't escape 'em, and frankly, you didn't WANT to!

    But hold on tight, 'cause the Toni Braxton rollercoaster ain't stoppin' there! She followed it up with *Secrets*... And then "You're Makin' Me High," and "Un-Break My Heart" exploded. Woo! Those records went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100!

    She ain't just a singer, folks, she's an ACTRESS! She's a TELEVISION PERSONALITY! She's been through the wringer, seen it all, from chart-toppers to contractual woes, and health scares.

    But through it all, Toni Braxton, she comes out swinging!

    From singing with Babyface to her own hit reality show, Toni's a survivor and a true performer!
    So next time you're feeling a little blue, put on some Toni Braxton and let her soulful voice heal your heartache. And remember, folks, that's just the way it is!

    Thank you for listening to Eagle Harp. I’m Gail Nobles.

    The catchy hook goes, “This is for the lover in you, the lover in you, I know she's in there somewhere.” It's a sweet reminder that everyone has that special romantic side waiting to shine. The SugarhillGang kicks things off with some fun rapping, bringing their classic flair to the track, and then it flows into those smooth, melodic parts where they sing.

    They mix it all up beautifully, rapping between the catchy chorus, creating an awesome blend of hip-hop and soul. So if you're in the mood for love, this song definitely brings out that romantic feeling! It's all about celebrating that "lover" that's deep inside us all. So, turn it up and let the Sugarhill Gang take you on a love journey!
