"There's a time in life for Hoagy Carmichael. There's a time in life for Claude Debussy. There's a time in life for Jerry Lee Lewis. There's a time in life for Destiny's Child. All these things have their moment." ~Elvis Costello

B.J. Thomas: “Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love” (1983)
By 1983, having bounced around from label to label and ventured into contemporary Christian music for a bit, B.J Thomas was six years removed from his last top 40 pop hit.
British New Wave dominated the pop charts and shoved many a 70’s pop star to the fringes, to oldies act status, or to the country charts. For Billy Joe Thomas, the country scene made a comfy fit. “Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love”, his final pop chart entry at #93, was a number one country hit.
Had it been the immediate follow-up to pop #1 hit (and longest-titled song ever to top the pop charts) “(Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” in 1975 it may have found a wider pop audience.
Even if you were familiar with classics like “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head”, “Hooked On a Feeling”, “I Just Can’t Help Believing” and “Rock and Roll Lullaby” this is a song you may have missed.

Atria: “Jazz Cigarette” (2021)
Total coincidence that we post Atria’s smoothed-out slice of electronic R&B “Jazz Cigarette” on 4/20.
Let the essence of that brass solo waft across the room as you breathe in a mellow message of social responsibility.

In 2014, three charming girls from Georgia “blew up” the World Wide Web and became stars. This “fairy tale” began on the day when three friends, during a walk in the village, decided to sing a song. Tatuli made a self- video and uploaded it to the Internet. This video dramatically changed the girls’ lives. Within two weeks the video was watched by a multi-million audience.
The popularity of “Trio Mandili” is growing every day. Today the group has about a million subscribers on Facebook. Fans from all over the world watch girls’ creations with interest on the “Trio Mandili” Facebook page.
This is their latest video. It will probably not be the last you’ll see posted here.
