Qawwali Project Royal Albert Hall
I heard an item about this on Radio London at the weekend. The singer Abi Sampa was being interviewed and an extract of the music played sounded beautiful. She described Qawwali music as gospel music of the East. I’ve searched for her on Spotify and been impressed. Here is a link to the concert at the RAH which I suspect may be sold out.

The biggest selling single of all time....
that never made it to number one. It's just overtaken Wonderwall. Has outsold Band Aid and Wham's Last Christmas combined.

40 years ago today the legendary Marvin Gaye was tragically killed at the hands of his father.
Previously unheard recordings have been uncovered in Belgium.

Amazingly I heard on Channel 4 news that previously unheard jazz recordings have been discovered in the US.

I used to like Sam Smith but the stage he seems to have been in recently has sickened me and the wording of the song Unholy , is well, more than unholy. This is a ‘Christian’ version of the song by Becka Shae and whilst I am not posting it for its Christian content I think it is greatly enhanced and find Becka’s voice stunning -
Maybe posted before but something reminded me of it today 😂

Steve Wright DJ 🥲 (Edited)
Just heard the awful and very unexpected news about Steve.
On his pre-recorded show on Sunday he was joking that Dusty Springfield was like his Aunty Marion and now he’s gone 😢😢

Buddy Holly died before I was born but I loved all his music and on Saturday 3rd February it was the 65th Anniversary of his untimely death.
BBC Sounds now have a tribute to him, very touching, hearing him, his manager, his wife speaking and presented by Bob Harris .
Just ask for Buddy Holly on the app to hear it I couldn’t put a link but this is the show -
