His musical influences are artists like Babyface, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Ne-Yo and El DeBarge. All these crooners know how to bring an element of class and romance to every song they sing. Howard also spent his youth playing albums owned by his dad – who is also a songwriter. That meant that he listened to the best that the seventies had to offer with The Manhattans and Stylistics, just two of the legendary groups found in that collection.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-fbcomments field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facebook Comments:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">1</div></div></div><div class="rrssb"><ul class="rrssb-buttons"></ul></div> Wed, 27 Mar 2024 14:27:45 +0000 matthew 23098 at https://www.soultracks.com On this Day in 1983: Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis have a hit -- and get fired by Prince https://www.soultracks.com/on-day-jam-lewis <div class="field field-name-field-featured field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Featured:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">0</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><span><strong>March 28, 1983 – "Just Be Good To Me" becomes Jam & Lewis's first hit production</strong></span></p> <p>They are one of the greatest writing and production teams in soul music history, and all that greatness came together on the day they were fired by Prince.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-fbcomments field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facebook Comments:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">1</div></div></div><div class="rrssb"><ul class="rrssb-buttons"></ul></div> Wed, 27 Mar 2024 12:49:05 +0000 administrator 23106 at https://www.soultracks.com SoulTracks Lost Gem: David Pack, James Ingram and Michael McDonald "Can't Let Go" https://www.soultracks.com/lost-gem-david-pack-i-cant-let-go <div class="field field-name-field-featured field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Featured:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">0</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><strong>David Pack</strong> may not be an obvious addition on a site devoted to Soul Music.

Balloon”: The tune’s message, which compares Black people to a balloon that overcomes the forces of gravity to rise, is the kind of inspirational message that old and young can never hear enough.</p> <p>The mid-tempo bouncy funk of the percussion and bass line, along with the bluesy guitar riffs, will make listeners want to do more than just sit back. That melody will make listeners engage in Chicago’s contribution to the ballroom dancing, stepping.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-fbcomments field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facebook Comments:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">1</div></div></div><div class="rrssb"><ul class="rrssb-buttons"></ul></div> Mon, 25 Mar 2024 14:26:17 +0000 matthew 23097 at https://www.soultracks.com First Listen: Stevie Wonder helps Gary Clark, Jr. sing of the "Children" https://www.soultracks.com/first-listen-gary-clark-jr-stevie-wonder-children <div class="field field-name-field-featured field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Featured:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">1</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="gmail_default"> <p>(March 25, 2024) <strong>Gary Clark, Jr</strong>, is categorized as a blues singer, but that just captures one element of what he does.
