I want to send a shout out and note of appreciation to Twisted Soul Sista, host of the fabulous WVEW 107.7 FM show called Chocolate City. I discovered this show this summer and have fallen in love. If you are a fan of old school funky tunes you should be tuning in each Saturday from noon to 2 pm.
Chocolate City show takes me back and reminds me of hot summers in the city in the 1980’s. I feel like I’ve tuned in one of the great, big R&B stations in NYC, DC, Cleveland or Detroit. It is non-stop funky fun and perfect for dancing around while doing Saturday chores.
Each cut is a good one, and we are treated to hits from artists such as Nu Shooz, Cherrelle, Change, Vaughn Mason, Teena Marie, SOS Band, Steve Arrington, Patrice Rushen, Tom Browne, Rick James, Mary Jane Girls, Secret Weapon, Ready for the World, Mtume, Tom Tom Club, and more. These names might not be familiar to you, but the songs might be.
One of the things I love about this music is that is is almost always upbeat and looking toward a brighter future, filled with message of love, fun, respect, and getting by.
So, tune in on Saturdays to Twisted Soul Sista and Chocolate City. Another great show on the local radio dial.
