Hey there, music lovers! Let's talk about a fantastic track called "Nobody Told Me" by the legendary John Lennon. This hit had quite a journey, climbing its way to the top of the charts. In January 1984, it made a splash in the UK, peaking at number 6, and in the US, it hit number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was Lennon's last brand-new single to break into the top 10 before he left us, and that makes it extra special!
The song features some memorable lines: "Nobody told me there'd be days like these / Strange days indeed / Most peculiar, mama." These words twist the old saying, "My mama told me there'd be days like this," which is famously sung by The Shirelles in "Mama Said." While the Shirelles gave us a sense of warning about life's ups and downs, Lennon flips it around, expressing surprise at how unpredictable life can be.
So, if you haven't given "Nobody Told Me" a listen, do yourself a favor and check it out. It's a catchy, thought-provoking tune that reminds us of the surprises life throws our way, all delivered in Lennon's unmistakable style.

Let us pause for a moment and reflect upon the majestic journey of Johnny Taylor! Yes, Johnny, that soulful sage, that philosopher of soul, who took us on a lyrical pilgrimage to a place that words can barely capture—Soul Heaven! Oh, it was more than just a dream; it was a divine rendezvous, a celestial concert where the echoes of greatness linger.
He found himself immersed in a symphony of voices, in a gathering of luminaries—the Bar-Kay’s, the smooth croon of Sam Cooke, the electric energy of Jr. Walker, and the captivating presence of Sammy Davis Jr. just to name a few! Each note danced through the air like a whisper, wrapping around his spirit and lifting him higher, higher into the realms of glory.
And oh, what joy it must have brought him! He didn’t want to wake up, dear friends. No, he was basking in a brilliance that transcended time—a communion with those who once cast their shadows over the stage of life, living legends reunited in harmony. Can you feel the rhythm of joy? Can you sense the light of love? In Soul Heaven, there is no darkness.
But now, as the sun sets on Johnny Taylor's life, we find comfort in knowing that the Lord called him home. And perhaps, just perhaps, in that sacred moment, Johnny stepped into the very Dream that he sang about! He joined those celestial souls, those King’s and Queen’s of the past, in an everlasting place where the music never fades.
Oh, Johnny, philosopher of soul, your echoes still! You took us to heights unknown, and though you are no longer here within our midst, the legacy you left lingers like a sweet melody in our hearts. Soul Heaven awaits us all.

It bubbled up in February '69, hit number 71 on Billboard. Didn't stick around too long, but then It came back in January '70, climbin' a bit higher to 66! Canada digged it a bit more, hittin' 41 and 58 on two different runs. This tune's got legs, you hear? It's got staying power!
Now, let's get to the real heart of the matter – the lyrics!
Listen to this opening:
"Hello, it's meI've thought about us for a long, long timeMaybe I think too much, but something's wrongThere's something here that doesn't last too longMaybe I shouldn't think of you as mine"
He’s layin' it all on the line and straight from the heart. He's reachin' out, see? But there's doubt, a whole lotta doubt in his soul.
Rundgren is not sugar-coating nothin'. This relationship is on the rocks. He's admitting maybe he's overthinkin', maybe he's clingin' to somethin' that just ain't meant to be. "Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine" This is real life, real heartbreak.
"Hello It's Me" is the kind of tune you put on when you're feeling blue, when the rain's comin' down, and you're sittin' there thinkin' 'bout lost love. This tune's for all those lonely nights in your bedroom.
This song is a confession. It's a vulnerable moment caught on wax. And that is what makes it real, what makes it connect. So give it a spin, and remember Gail Nobles told ya so! Music and Melody

Let me take you back to the golden vibes of the 70s! We're tuning in to a song from the English music scene - that smooth track, "We Just Disagree," by the one and only Dave Mason! Released in August ’77, this beautiful ballad was plucked right off his album **Let It Flow**—and it hit the airwaves like a comet at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100!
Now, let me tell you why this song resonates with so many of us. **“We Just Disagree”** is the anthem of that bittersweet moment in a relationship when things just don’t line up anymore. You can feel the warmth in Dave's voice as he reminisces about a connection that’s maybe lost its spark. But hold on tight because here comes Jim Krueger with his magic touch on that 12-string guitar! Oh, it’s like a wave rolling over you, bringing the harmony that punctuates this heartfelt tale of parting ways without any bad blood.
You can picture it: “Been away, haven't seen you in a while, how've you been?” Oh, don’t we all know that feeling? The wondering, and that unshakeable feeling that maybe, just maybe, time has changed us in ways we can’t quite grasp. The lyrics paint a picture of two souls trying to navigate their differences. You can hear the tension, yet there’s an underlying respect, which is what makes the song so relatable.
And let’s not forget that chorus that digs deep into the fabric of human interaction: "So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye. There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy. There's only you and me and we just disagree." It’s a real revelation—no need for blame when love fades; sometimes it’s just two people growing in different directions.
Mason and Krueger deliver this profound message with such grace, and it’s a reminder that every relationship has its ups and downs, and sometimes, the best solution is mutual understanding—even when it hurts a little.

Let’s talk about a lovely song called "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again," written by Jeffrey Comanor. This song came out in September 1976 as part of an album called "A Rumor in His Own Time." It’s all about a sweet couple who have an amazing night together, and the singer wishes it would just go on forever—no goodbyes, just happiness.
While Jeffrey’s original version didn’t get much attention, a big change happened when Clive Davis, the president of Arista Records, stumbled upon it just a few months later. He saw potential in it, and it was soon covered by a duo called Deardorff & Joseph in their first album with Arista.
After Deardorff & Joseph went their separate ways, interestingly, the people managing them found new opportunities—you see, Marcia Day started managing Deardorff, while Susan Joseph took charge of Joseph.
Fast forward to February 1978, and we have more covers of this enchanting tune! Maureen McGovern and the duo England Dan & John Ford Coley each released their versions. McGovern's cover didn’t quite catch on, but England Dan & John Ford Coley hit the jackpot! Their rendition spent six weeks at the top of the Billboard US Easy Listening chart and made waves in Canada, too.

Intro: Gail Nobles
Through the words of Tina Turner, I hear the chambers of collective struggle, Tina Turner. We don’t need another hero in her powerful voice. She speaks to the heart of our individual souls as we go through this turbulent landscape we call life we find ourselves journey for something more something greater than what lies within our own experiences.
Tina implores us to consider the landscape of our existence asking not for another savior to emerge from the shadows, but rather for a path that leads us beyond our own personal thunderdomes. What is a hero? What we truly seek is not someone to rescue us from our struggles, but an awakening - a change in our society.
She sings of change, and when I listen, I too wonder: When will we ever change? When will we rise up and hold the reins of our destinies, embracing our capacity to shape a world free from the chains of fear and despair? We have been searching, yearning for something — a foundation upon which we can build our dreams, a pillar of strength that we can rely on as we strive for a better tomorrow.
Look around you. We live in a world where too many of us remain shackled by fear and uncertainty where our voices are stifled, and our hopes dimmed, We must not allow ourselves to live only to leave a mark, a fleeting impression that soon fades. Rather, we must strive to create a legacy of courage and love that stands against the storm. We must seize this moment for living under the blanket of fear. It only leads to a hollow existence, empty of meaning, until there is nothing left.
It is time for us to rise, together as one, to reach for the life beyond the Thunderdome — a life filled with purpose, justice, and love. Let us refuse to be passive spectators in our own lives. Let every heartbeat be a drumbeat for change, every breath a pledge to forge a brighter path for the generations to come.
So I say to you, let us not wait for another hero to come save us. Let us be the heroes of our own story, the architects of change in our communities, the guardians of hope in times of despair. The answers lie within us, and together, united in our dreams, we shall not only envision a better future but also create it!
I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening.

Intro by: Gail Nobles
Jean Knight the soul-stirring songbird. She's got that groove and a voice that will make you wanna dance. You remember: Mr. Big Stuff. Let me tell you about her song A Little Bit of Something (Is Better Than All of Nothing).
Jean’s powerful voice comes through echoing the true essence of love and desire. It's a song for all those who know that sometimes a little love is better than no love at all! She lays it down smooth and sassy, reminding us that even if you can't have everything you want, a little taste can make your heart sing.
Jean Knight captures that feeling of longing, but she's flipping it with a hopeful twist. It's a celebration of those small moments - the flirty chats, the sweet smiles- that might just be what you need to keep your heart in the game.
A little bit of something is a reminder that in the game of love, every little bit counts! Keep grooving and moving with Jean Knight: Mr. Big Stuff Tell Me! Keep listening to songs of love. I'll say it again: A Little Bit of Something (Is Better Than All of Nothing).

Eugene Record was an American singer, songwriter, arranger, and record producer. He was best known as the lead vocalist of the Chicago-based vocal group The Chi-Lites from their formation in 1959 until 1973, from 1980 to 1988, and later making occasional guest appearances. Record wrote and produced many of the group's hits in the 1970s on Brunswick Records, as well as writing and producing for other acts. He had international hits with: "Oh Girl," "Have You Seen Her,
When Brunswick began to falter due to legal and financial issues in the mid-1970s, Record decided to go solo and released three albums (entitled The Eugene Record, Trying to Get to You, and Welcome to My Fantasy) in the late 1970s on Warner Music Group without major success, before re-joining The Chi-Lites in 1980.
From Eugene 1976 album the Eugene Record, he made a single entitled Overdose of Joy. It sounds like a smashing hit. Eugene Record sounds a lot like Marvin Gaye and the music sounds like a Marvin Gaye kind of groove. The song was written by Eugene.
