For
fans of soul music, I hope this makes you remember
that “Reggie had a set Friday night”.
Everyone was there and when you got there, the blue
light was glowing from the basement and man was it
on.
Since the “set” had to accommodate everyone,
Reggie would turn on the strobe light for those that
couldn’t dance to funk and then back to the
blue light on tracks that made you want to dance real
close. That’s what I wanted to achieve with
tracks like “Rain” and “Can’t
Let Go”. So while listening, if the mood strikes,
feel free to unscrew that bright white bulb clean
the dust off the blue light and hold someone close
for 70’s sake.
Shouldn’t a song remind you where you were,
what you were doing and who you were with the first
time you heard it? Isn’t that the magic and
purpose of soul music? I hope “Touch My Heart”,
“You Love Me” or “More Than Friends”
create a special personal moment for you. It certainly
did for me….hey that’s personal (hahaha)
What would Reggie’s set be if we didn’t
Bop or Step? Hit me with “Contagious”
“Open Your Soul” or “Stay”
turn the strobe light off and it’s on. Oh yeah…..I
promise to be smooth and not step on your toes.
Remember whispering in Reggie’s ear “man
play something fast”. Why is it that girls always
danced better than us on the fast tracks? Revisit
that night with “Me Around”, “Toss
“N” Turn” and “No More Love
Remix”. Let’s try and keep up with them
this time fellas. (lol)
I believe a soul song should make you smile, make
you love, make you cry, make you laugh and most of
all make you remember. After all, isn’t that
why it’s called Soul Music? Let’s never
forget Reggie’s set. That was the time of our
life. That was “Old School” and I’m
proud to have been there, with you. See you at the
next set and until then do one thing for yourself…………keep
your “Soul Satisfied”.
Did anyone ever find out what was in that punch? Man,
I still have a headache…..
