    Hello I'm Gail Nobles.Welcome to the show. I Have Learned To Respect the Power of Love is a song that was written by Angela Winbush and Renée Moore, of the singing duo Renée and Angela. It is a song recorded and performed by Stephanie Mills and was the second single released from her 1985 self-titled album. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, and remained number one for two weeks in May 1986. I Have Learned to Respect the Power of Love was Stephanie’s 16th entry on the chart. The song was one of her most successful in the R&B soul markets.

    I love Stephanie Mills song about the power of love because I can detect something religious when she sings about love. I could also detect that there was also something religious about Never Knew Love Like This Before which was her first release in 1980. It was also a hit song by Stephanie Mills. Both songs were hits and successful.

    Ai No Corrida" is a song by the English singer and multi-instrumentalist Chaz Jankel, written by Jankel and Kenny Young. It was first recorded in 1980 and featured on Chaz Jankel's debut album Chas Jankel for A&M Records.

    Quincy Jones's 1981 recording of the song was a top 30 hit in the United States, and won the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals in 1982.
    When they say Ai No Corrida, Ai (愛) is the Japanese word for "love", while Corrida is the Spanish word for "bullfight".

    Quincy Jones’s 1981 album The Dude yielded the hits “I know Corrida” “Just Once” and “100 Ways” both sung by James Ingram.

    Quincy Jones is a musical genius and widely regarded as one. His career span several decades, and he has made significant contributions to various genres including jazz, pop, and R&B. Jones has produced and arranged music for some of the biggest names in the industry including Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Aretha Frankli. And of course you know his work on albums like MJ's Thriller remains one of the best selling albums of all time.

    There was Vietnam and there was a civil rights movement and protest. Marvin Gaye recorded What's Going On and was released in 1971. Stevie Wonder recorded Loves in Need of Love Today, and It was released in 1976. Music and it's power. Motown was more than music and celebration. I say Motown is the sound of people telling millions of stories about love. I think Motown had an affect on all of America. Motown was popular in the US and the UK. Who doesn't know Motown. Motown had a significant effect on the world.

    Motown played a crucial role in breaking racial barriers in music. While Motown music thrive pd during the Vietnam war era, it’s songs often carried messages of social change and empowerment. Motown artist had social messages of love and hope. They gave us messages of unity and change. Motown is soul music reaching audiences worldwide. Motown entertained everyone. People moved together in dance. It seemed everyone loved Motown.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for tuning in. Don't worry about the sound of war around you. Tune it out if you can. Endure with the sound of Motown.

    In the music business people can become lost and go in the wrong direction. My mom used to tell me: God didn't put them in that spotlight. They put themselves in there or they forget God. I agree but we don’t know what's in a person's heart.

    Whitney knew she needed God. She was always singing the Gospel. She was brought up in church, and she never stopped going to church. Like any other human being, she had some troubles.

    Whatever was troubling Whitney, I believe that helped her to be a great singer too. She sang with feeling. I've seen a video of Whitney in church with Kim Burrell. Kim said Whitney wanted to preach and was speaking in tongues. That means Whitney had other gifts.

    Maybe it wasn't meant for Whitney Houston to reach people the Hollywood Way. The Hollywood Way is about fame and publicity and selling sex. Whitney needed to be around other Christians, and in that Hollywood world it can be very lonely. The kingdom of God is not of this world.

    From what we are told, Aaliyah is not alive. Though dead, she's certainly hard to kill. When she was alive, she told the world she was mysterious. Well, I didn't know her, but I believe her words because it seems to me she still speaks in dreams and works on the conscience. Fans are still talking about her, and she's been dead since 2001. It has nothing to do with an autopsy, a heartbeat, or a body. If you know anything about Christ, you know mystery. I didn't come to preach, but I don't know any other way to put it. If you know Him, you know some spiritual things. If Aaliyah is with him, it is possible that your dreams about her are real. These things can be hard to explain, and it's possible that the world around you can't receive it. Sometimes we are not allowed to speak, and Aaliyah didn't always speak or tell the world some things. That made her mysterious and her death a mystery.

    I remember the words of the late great Aaliyah when she said: It's been a long time. I shouldn't of left you, but now I'm back. The time had come for me to get back into the studio and on TV and radio.

    Once again Aaliyah is on my mind. We meet again. The Mystery Aaliyah. Tune in again next time. Thank you for listening. I'm Gail Nobles. Goodbye friends.

    New Radicals-You Get What…7:17:24 3.21 PM

    Keyboardist: Gail Nobles

    The New Radical sent us a positive message.

    The New Radicals was an American alternative rock band formed in 1997 in Los Angeles. They recorded a song entitled You Get What You Give. It was the first and most successful single from their only studio album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too (1998). Released on November 3, 1998, it reached number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

    In 2006, Ice-T was asked on Late Night with Conan O'Brien about what he has heard, besides rap music, in the last few years that really grabbed him and his only reply was "You Get What You Give". In a Time interview, U2 lead guitarist the Edge is quoted saying "You Get What You Give" is the song he is "most jealous of. I really would love to have written that."

    Something about the song hit me too when I heard it. I was in the middle of a sad thought. It made me forget that thought. The song makes you want to do something. The song plants a seed of life. Those are the kind of songs we need that makes us want to go on living. ‘Songs like Get What You Give’ by the New Radicals
