Nashville has the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum
Memphis has the Blues Hall of Fame Museum
Cleveland has the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Museum

Soon, The Bronx will have the Hip-Hop Museum: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNOJqmyx4cz/?igsh=MWVoZHpmenhlbWs2dg==

Memphis also has the Stax Museum Of American Soul Music, mainly concerning Stax artists & history, and located on the site of the original Stax studio, at 926 East McLemore Avenue.

Definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Memphis (along with Graceland, of course)...

Oh my gosh I haven't heard this song in ages. Cathy Dennis had some jams back in the early 90's. The biggest one was "Touch Me (All Night Long)" but this one had good success as well, reaching #9 on the Hot 100.

"Just Another Dream"

Yo DJ pump this party

"I'm Gonna Get You"

Michael Jackson was just 20 when he recorded this. My ATF album in the history of music.

"Life ain't so bad at all. If you're livin' off the wall."

 

[K Douglas]

From the debut LP 'All Hail the Queen'. The best female rapper of all time, Queen Latifah. Great sample usage of Dennis Coffey's "Scorpio". Produced by Prince Paul.

"Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children" feat. De La Soul

[ogibowt]

[ogibowt]

Some might say Southern Soul has its Gospel roots

This is right up there with my favorite Rufus/Chaka songs.

Speaking of Evelyn 'Champagne' King this is from her sophomore LP 'Music Box' which was released in 1979. Her main producer of her 1st three albums was Theodore Life. After that she hooked up with Morrie Brown and Kashif for a couple of early 1980's post disco releases.

"Let's Start All Over Again"
