Skip Martin, a Grammy Award winner, has dedicated his life to the rooms where music history unfolds. As former lead vocalist for Kool & the Gang and the Dazz Band, he has shared stages with the greatest artists of his generation — and built friendships that have lasted decades. Friends and Legends is the platform where these friendships are brought to life. This is not a standard interview show. Skip does not sit across from his guests — he sits beside them. These are real talks with people who were there, built something, and have stories to tell. From platinum records to personal breakthroughs. From the road to the recording studio, the journey was transformative. From the highs to the moments that tested everything. New episodes drop regularly. "Music is the sound of a soul singing." Don't play no games. 経済学 音楽

    Friends & Legends with Skip MartinHost: Skip Martin Summary:Part 2 of Skip Martin's sit down with Dazz Band founder Bobby Harris picks up as Skip joins the band and they head to Motown in 1980. Bobby breaks down the monster musicians in the lineup: the Wiley brothers, who couldn't read music but could play anything they heard, and Kenny Pettus, whose falsetto Bobby says even The Weeknd never matched. He tells how Motown's head of A&R Lee Young, brother of jazz great Lester Young, sent them producer Reggie Andrews, how the band tested him and how he won them over, and how Bobby first heard Let It Whip over breakfast in Reggie's hotel room. Skip owns up to the Gilligan's Island joke that went viral, Bobby relives Skip's 3am vocal on What a Night, and the pair talk about the musicians who make you feel them and the Cleveland fans who made them.

    Episode 022: The Kid in the Next Studio Was a 19-Year-Old Prince (Pt 1)
    2026/10/06
    Friends & Legends with Skip MartinHost: Skip Martin Summary:Skip Martin sits down with his longtime bandmate Bobby Harris, founder and leader of the Grammy winning Dazz Band, to go back to where it all started. Bobby tells how a Cleveland jazz fusion band called Telefunk became Kinsman Dazz, named after the street he grew up on, and how a packed audition landed them a record deal in 1976. Then came the shot of a lifetime: Marvin Gaye was set to produce their first album, until illness forced him out. With ten hotel rooms, three rental cars and the clock ticking on their own money, Bobby refused to go home to Cleveland empty handed, and a name he spotted on the label president's desk changed everything. Then, recording in California, their engineer dragged them next door to see a 19 year old who played every instrument himself: Prince. Skip and Bobby also relive how Skip joined the band out of Youngstown, the Dazzmobile, and the Cleveland winters that toughened them up. Main Topics:Telefunk and the birth of Kinsman DazzNaming the band after Kinsman Avenue in ClevelandThe audition that landed a record deal in 1976Rehearsing with Marvin Gaye, then losing him to illnessTalking the label president into one more shotHow Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire came to produce the debutWatching a 19 year old Prince in the next studioWhy Cleveland prepared them for the worldHow Skip joined the band from Youngstown, OhioThe Dazzmobile, frozen car doors and the Lake Erie hawkSeven albums in six years Intriguing Quotes:"You can never tell where your blessings come from." - Bobby Harris"Lose the keyboard player." - Tony Camillo, as Bobby remembers it"I am going to have a ball working with you guys." - Marvin Gaye, as Bobby remembers it"Cleveland is another kind of place, man. You can't go back there without what you said you were going to come with." - Bobby Harris"In order to be successful at anything, you have to have the courage to go to an environment that's uncomfortable and less convenient to make your way." - Skip Martin"It's not what you know, it's who you know." - Bobby Harris Key Moments:[00:00] Skip welcomes Bobby Harris[01:23] Telefunk, the band before Kinsman Dazz[02:34] Naming the band after Kinsman Avenue[05:01] The audition that packed the club[05:54] Lose the keyboard player[06:25] Signed in 1976, 50 years on[07:05] In the studio with Marvin Gaye[08:09] Marvin Gaye falls ill[09:01] The label president jumps on his desk[09:42] We can't go back without a record[10:12] Philip Bailey's name on the desk[11:23] The kid next door was Prince[12:27] How Cleveland trained them[13:37] Finding Skip in Youngstown[17:47] The Dazzmobile[19:05] Meeting the hawk off Lake Erie[20:53] Seven albums in six years[22:12] To be continued in Part 2 Notable Resources:Kinsman Dazz (1978), produced by Philip Bailey, featuring "I Might as Well Forget About Loving You"Electric Shop Recording Studio, Las Vegas Connect with Bobby Harris and the Dazz Band:Website: https://www.thedazzband.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theoneandonlydazzbandInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedazzbandYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPtN1sSbm7vOMHVwuSKJRyA Connect with Skip Martin:Website: https://www.skipmartinmusic.com/Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/skipmartinmusicInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/skipmartinmusic/Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/skipmartinmusicYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/skipmartinmusic Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Skip Martin sits down with his old friend Denella Ri'chard, the award winning host and executive producer of the nationally syndicated series Traveling with Denella Ri'chard. She grew up in Baton Rouge, caught the travel bug following her mum's bowling tournaments, and found her calling studying abroad in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1994, the year Nelson Mandela became president.

What started as a one year lockdown project is now filming its ninth season.
