The Hall of Fame Era Committee meets this Sunday, December 7th. Dale Murphy needs 12 of 16 votes. You never know who will see this and their vote may be the one that puts Murph over the top. Please retweet if you love Murph and believe he deserves to be honored in Cooperstown.

The Monkees’ 11th single, “Good Clean Fun” b/w “Mommy and Daddy” was released in September 1969. 'Rolling Stone' called the flipside "one of their best efforts." Which is your favorite side of this latter-day Monkees 45? 🎶

Pulp are excited to discover that “More” has been placed on the shortlist for the 2025 Mercury Prize.
It’s now 29 years since we last won the @MercuryPrize with “Different Class”. Could lightning strike twice ?

Brian Wilson was a musical and spiritual giant. His melodies shaped generations, & his soul resonated in every note.
I was fortunate to know him; we all were blessed by his genius.
Rest peacefully, Brian.

Martha Reeves went from background vocals to front-and-center force. When she stepped in for a last-minute session, she didn’t just fill in, she took over. With the Vandellas’ infectious energy, she gave Classic Motown “Nowhere to Run” with songs that still get us up on our feet!

Celebrating the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, on her birthday!
In 1967, she recorded I Never Loved a Man (The Way That I Love You) at FAME. That session changed music forever.

We’re saddened to hear that Sam Moore, of the legendary duo Sam & Dave, passed away at age 89. 🤍 Together with Dave Prater, Mr. Moore brought early success to a fledgling Stax label with hits like “Soul Man,” “Hold On I’m Comin,’” “You Don’t Know Like I Know,” and more.
