I said in my 60s and 70s post that I felt lonely on the R&B subreddit because it feels like I'm the only one who grew up with stuff like Bounce TV's Bounce Beats, and the subject of this post, Magic 107.3. This was my radio station in Kansas City, and it was a blast. The Tom Joyner Morning Show and the D.L. Hugley Show, while I wasn't really interested in what they were saying, their jingles are nostalgic bops. And of course, I grew up with MANY artists, spamming from the 70s, to the 2010's. The Isley Brothers, Brian McKnight, Maxwell, Usher, Anthony Hamilton, Cameo, Joe, He Who Shall Not Be Named, Eric Benet, Musiq Soulchild, Jennifer Hudson, Michael Jackson, Fantasia, Blackstreet, Mint Condition, Tamar Braxton, Toni Braxton, Al B Sure, Marvin Gaye, Jaheim, Aailyah, I could go on and on. So many memorable songs, so many in fact, that I made a playlist based off of them, as well as the CDs, tapes, and other means.

Of course though, I'm sure many of you have nostalgic radio stations you used to listen to, as well as the songs. And if someone's heard of Magic 107.3, then cool! If not... well, there you go.

Hey ya’ll. Over the past few days there have been several violations of the rules that prevent hate speech and harassment/incivility. Religion is not an excuse to spout homophobia and if you can’t respond without cursing at folks then you don’t need to respond at all. Hope y’all have a great day!

So why haven't they done more?! This really could have been their bread and butter. Casting was A1 and they def could have competed with Lifetime and other outlets that routinely drop the ball on casting.

What musical icon needs a biopic? I'd say Chuck Brown.

I Wish It Was A Actual Song That Was Put Out Because I Want It In My Library

I see so much conversation in here about why modern R&B sounds so poor, and I think we've all come to the consensus that this is because:

a) we don't have the same free, rigorous vocal classes, choir groups or church attendance to teach people how to sing

And

b) the artists who are making music don't have mentors like Quincy Jones or Berry Gordy to help them hone their craft

As someone who does want to sing, has never had training, and wants to do it the 'right' way (avoiding a church if possible cos of religious trauma), do y'all think it's possible to learn how to sing well later in life (late 20s) and what route should I, or anyone else in my position, take?

What did the older generation who was present during the 70s who came up from the music like Sinatra, Elvis, Cab Calloway, and Fitzgerald? Mostly like the era of Doo Wop and Swing.

Once that generation was fading and over with, then came the new era of music being introduced with upcoming stars and future legends like Michael Jackson, Aretha, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donna Summer, Al Green, Smokey Robinson, Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, Teddy Pendergrass, Betty Wright, and more who defined the Era of the 70s that was for younger people listening to being referred to as “the young people’s music”?

Did they like the music back then or didn’t like it? 

They voices fit the song so well, nothing but love in the lyrics too and they're clean.
