It's often cathartic to conclude a period of listening, researching and appreciating records by trying to make a coherent radio show of them. There's always a lot of music to get through and this just scratches the surface. The show is mainly 45s, which is not my regular format but I had to set parameters I could adhere to and challenge myself. The day before this show, D'Angelo died and so it features a few of my favourite D'Angelo songs. In my opinion he was the best we had in this music we love for the last 30 years. When Brown Sugar was released it blew me away with its accomplished sound. Of course it was also hugely influential. What a loss he will prove to be.
