    Today we’re going to talk about the soulful vibes of Dionne Warwick's amazing song, "No Night So Long." It’s a heartfelt tune that really connects with the ups and downs we all go through in life. Released back in 1980, this song highlights Dionne’s incredible voice and the catchy writing from Richard Kerr and Will Jennings.

    From the very start, you can feel the warmth of Dionne's singing. The lyrics are full of hope: "Deep in the night you know that you'll find the way." Isn’t that something we can all relate to? It’s like a light shining in the dark, letting us know that no matter how long the night feels, the morning is always just around the bend.

    The gentle melody goes hand in hand with the message of not giving up. "No night so long that you can't find the day; No day so wrong that you can't find your way." That line speaks to everyone who’s faced tough times. Dionne’s rich and expressive voice captures that shared struggle and gives us some comforting wisdom. Just call on her like you used to, and she’s right there, lighting the way with her soothing sounds.

    And let’s give a shout-out to Steve Buckingham for the slick production that makes the song really pop! The adult contemporary crowd loved it, helping "No Night So Long" climb the charts—it hit number 1 on the AC chart and made it to 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. That’s pretty impressive!

    Dionne Warwick's "No Night So Long" is a powerful anthem for anyone feeling worn out, a reminder that even in our darkest times, there’s always a glimmer of light. So let’s celebrate this fantastic artist and her timeless message that still hits home today. Whether you’re riding high or feeling low, remember: no night is too long, and every new day brings fresh opportunities. Big thanks to Dionne for this beautiful song and reminder!

    Hello music lovers! Today we’re going to talk about the soulful vibes of LTD and their fantastic album Shine On released in 1980 on the A&M label. It’s the undeniable talent of Jeffrey Osborne.

    That man, Jeffrey, brings a voice to the table that just soars like an eagle. You can feel his passion and emotion pouring out of every note as he leads his band. Shine On is particularly special because it marks the farewell chapter for both Jeffrey and his brother Billy in the legendary ensembles. Can you believe it! This album captures the band at the peak of their musical powers, ready to spread their wings and fly in new directions.

    Now let’s talk about it. This album offers a seamless blend of funk soul, and R&B that just makes you wanna groove. Tracks like the title song Shine On are not only uplifting, but they also touch anyone who’s ever chased their dreams. It’s all about embracing the light and letting your spirit shine bright.

    And let’s not overlook the electrifying instrumentals and horn arrangements that LTD is known for. Every track bursts with energy and you can’t help but want to get up and dance. This album is a reminder of the joy that music can bring a true embodiment of that golden era of R&B.

    The album peaked at No. 6 on the R&B albums chart. It also reached No. 28 on the Billboard200. The album features the singles "Where Did We Go Wrong", which peaked at No. 7 on the Hot Soul Singles chart.

    Jeffrey Osborne and LTD have crafted something timeless here, a sweet farewell that radiates positivity and groove.

    Don’t Stop This Feeling is a song by GQ. The singer is saying "Don’t let this feeling fade away!” They’re pleading for that magical moment to stick around because it’s pure bliss.

    The heart of the lyrics is about longing for someone special. Their spirit is what brings happiness and makes everything feel alive. It’s an anthem of wanting to hold onto those unforgettable moments and the joy that comes from being with the one you love with every beat. It’s a reminder to cherish that magic and keep those good feelings flowing.

    You may know GQ from their biggest hit in 1979 entitled Disco Nights (Rock-Freak). The follow up was Billy Stewart’s remake. “I Do Love You” which was also successful. Their music wasn’t just about disco. Their music was also R&B and soul.

    When you get a chance, give their song ‘Don’t Stop This Feeling’ a listen from their disco album entitled Two.
