    Hello, I’m Gail Nobles and you’re listening to The Buzzly Podcast.

    The song "Love of Money" by The O'Jays talks about how obsessed people are with money and how far they will go to get it. This is especially relevant today, as we often hear about different types of scams and fraud that trick innocent people out of their money.

    In recent years, many scams have come up that take advantage of people's weaknesses, leaving them in tough financial situations. Examples include scams (where people are tricked into giving away personal information), identity theft, and pyramid schemes. These scams can lead to huge losses and also hurt trust between friends and with banks or other businesses.

    The rising cost of living makes things even harder. Many Americans are dealing with higher bills and surprise expenses that add to their stress. People often have to handle costs they can't control, like increased utility bills or medical expenses. This financial pressure can make people feel hopeless, leading them to make desperate choices to find stability.

    Additionally, society often celebrates greed and wealth, which can make things worse. The media shows luxurious lifestyles that can pressure people to act unethically or illegally to keep up. When money becomes the main goal, it can change what people consider right or wrong, which ties back to the powerful message in The O'Jays' song., Love of Money.

    To address these issues, society needs to focus on teaching people about money and provide support for those affected by financial crimes. This means educating people about scams, promoting good financial habits, and encouraging open discussions about money and its effects on our lives. By tackling these problems together, we can help rebuild trust and security in our financial systems.

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening.

    From the very first Firecracker ignites a spark that pulls you right into its groove with a catchy baseline that's as smooth as silk. You'll find your feet tapping and your body swaying before you even know it. The brass section blazes through with those killer horns, And let's not forget the dazzling vocal harmonies that light up the track calling everyone to the dance floor.

    The song Firecracker is the perfect anthem for those Summer nights filled with barbecues, dancing under the stars, and enjoying life to the fullest. Whether you're at a party or cruising with the top down, this tune is a surefire way to elevate the mood and spread good vibes.
    Somebody's outside shooting firecrackers right now in the neighborhood.

    I know
    I know, my brother, that your heart is dying

    That we shall overcome
    But with all the dues that they refuse to pay
    We've grown cold and numb...

    That’s just part of the first verse.

    And the Chorus it says: And I know, I know, I know
    This world is so divided
    And you know, you know, you know
    But what are you gonna do about it?
    You gotta do something, say something.

    James Brown in Rome 5:12:24 1.31 PM
    May 12 2024
    Story by: Gail Nobles

    James Brown was live in Rome in 1971. In Rome, he was singing Sex Machine, Give It Up or Turn It Loose,It's A Man's World, Soul Power, Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved, and Sunny. The show originally aired on an Italian music program Teatro 10.

    Rome was a good place for James Brown to perform. It looked as if Rome loved his entertainment and performance. They loved James Brown. There was great applause. Featured in the show was Bootsy and Phelps Collins.

    Before the Internet came along, I couldn't really imagine James Brown in Rome. I have never been to Rome, and I always think of its past. I'm sure now there is a modern side to Rome. When I saw the video clip of James Brown performing there, I had no idea that where he was performing was Rome. I thought it was America.

    James Brown performed in Rome the year I was born, 1971. So you know I didn't know anything about James Brown and Rome then. Then I learned later as I grew older about James Brown. He was a man born in Barnwell, South Carolina, and I was born in North Carolina. James Brown was born down south like myself, and I learned that he performed in Rome; a man with so much talent. Before I learned about where he was born, I thought he was born in New York or California. With the talent James Brown had, he prove it doesn't matter where you come from. Know I see how he became successful and was able to travel to Rome. James Brown shared what he called the Funk; a genre he invented. The Godfather of Soul.

    The Dramatics are a soul music vocal group formed in Detroit Michigan in 1964. Sometimes they remind me of the Temptations with the Motown sound. They are best known for their 1970s hit songs In the Rain and Watcha See is Watcha Get”, both of which were Top 10 Pop hits.

    Today I want to talk about the song Trying To Get Over Losing You by Dramatics written by Charles Richard Cason & Produced by Don Davis. The single comes from the 1975 album titled The Dramatic Jackpot. It is the third song on the album. Although I don't know how well the song succeeded, it sounds like it was a hit. It sounds like the whole album was a winner. The single trying to get over losing you is a song talking about trying to get over losing someone, but it has a very uplifting tune. The group has great harmony and energy singing it. The Dramatics remind me of the Temptations with their bass singer.

    Trying To Get Over Losing You is a song that I have never heard before, and when I heard it, I had to listen to it more than once. I love this song.

    So if you're looking for some great tunes to add to your list, check out music by the Dramatics and listen to their song Trying To Get Over Losing You. I'm Gail Nobles thank you for listening to the Buzzly Podcast.

    It was 1973 when Dick Clark tried to launch a black dance show of his own like Soul Train. It was the American Bandstand that featured teenagers dancing to Top 40 music introduced by Clark. There were artists like Jerry Lee Lewis to Frankie Lymon.

    It was Soul Train that had black teens wearing Afro hairstyles and bellbottoms. Don Cornelius featured music artist like Gladys Knight and The Pips, and Eddie Kendricks. By 1973 Soul Train had helped to define and poplar rise the sound of R&B music and American Bandstand was the same for Top 40.

    Like The Hippest Trip in America, Soul Train, music artist, bands, and groups appeared on Soul Unlimited. It was Buster Jones who appeared as the host of the show. He interviewed music artists like Gladys Knight and The Pips in 1973.

    (music)

    Jones was a diss jockey. During his career as a DJ he worked in Washington DC and in Los Angeles. He also did voice work in commercials which led to his career as a voice actor in TV series.

    Jones appeared as the host of Dick Clark's Soul Unlimited. He introduced musical guest Gladys Knight and The Pips in 1973 when they were singing songs like Neither One Of Us and It's Gotta Be That Way. Beautiful song.

    FTL-Come Back Darryl White 9:26:23 1.50 PM
    Sep 26 2023
    Story report by: Gail Nobles
    Cover Art by: Gail Nobles

    Have you heard of the single Darryl White? He is the son of Barry White talks and sings just like his father. He made a song titled Me Holding You. Daryyl has his father’s style, but his voice sounds younger than his father's voice. When he sings, he talks he talks smooth just like him. Darryl has a deep bass voice as well.

    In my opinion, I dont’t think that Darryl is in the shadow of his father Barry White at all. If he would come back and sing more songs and continue his singing career. If I were a music producer, I would go find him. I wouldn't care about the media and what the headlines say about his battle with his ex stepmother. And I wouldn't worry if he measured up to his father's burial or not. Darryl is his own person with talent. Some things he took after his father and some things he took out that his mother. And when he was born, he was born another human being.

    Come back Darryl White if you can. Come back and sing more songs. Your talent wasn't given to you for nothing. You have a purpose too, and people did notice you. There were people that did like your singing.

    Wherever you are, I hope that you are well. Never give up on your talent. Never give up on your dreams.

    I'm Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Finding the Legends on the Buzzly Podcast.
