40 years ago today, the Chicago Bears recorded "The Super Bowl Shuffle." Of course we had to acknowledge the anniversary of one of the 80s' cultural hallmarks #MusicSky youtu.be/cGYMwAcc1dE?...

Silver Bells is one of those standards you think can only be sung well one way. A Few Good Men taught @christhewriter.bsky.social something different on the LaFace Family Christmas album. #MusicSky youtu.be/sRO7g5S_sKw?...

Day 3 of our 25 Days of Christmas series steps into the 90s with the classic LaFace Family Christmas album and the opening track, a classic R&B version of "Silver Bells" by A Few Good Men #MusicSky youtu.be/sRO7g5S_sKw?...

When the SalSoul Orchestra released "Merry Christmas All" in 1976, it was proof that Philadelphia International's failure to pay the key members of MFSB was a BIG mistake. Check out Day 2 of our 25 Days of Christmas series #MusicSky: youtu.be/fpqmyUX6cO4?...

This was fun and Coop was actually dropping lunch off to his grandson at school and took time out to rap with me, greatly appreciative of him for this. Y'all check it out!
