Check out our latest teaser for our episode celebrating the 40th anniversary of Back In The High Life by Steve Winwood premiering June 19th! #SteveWinwood #80sAlbums
Steve Winwood played keys, guitar AND mandolin on Back in the High Life. ๐ธ๐น๐ช
We put him in the Prince multi-instrumentalist conversation on It's The Groove Podcast and then had to ask:
Was the mandolin literally the one instrument Prince never played? ๐
Episode premieres June 19th. Come back for more. ๐๏ธ๐ฅbuff.ly/dP1YNUN

This!
As someone who grew up idolizing the 90s Bulls, I will forever and always hate the Knicks, but as someone who lived to see the Cubs win a World Series, I can appreciate that โFINALLYโ feeling Knicks fans are enjoying right now.

We celebrated Peter Gabriel's "So" on @itsthegroovepod recently. Link is here! youtu.be/hp6xncFWD8w
โSledgehammerโ is the biggest hit of Peter Gabrielโs solo career and his only #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 (1986). Its revolutionary music video, directed by Stephen R. Johnson, featured groundbreaking stop-motion, claymation, and pixilation work by Aardman Animations (the Wallace & Gromit studio) and the Brothers Quay.
Gabriel spent a grueling 16 hours lying motionless under a glass plate while animators worked frame-by-frame around him. The entire shoot was an exhausting, week-long production. The result? It won a record 9 awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards (including Video of the Year) and remains the most played music video in MTV history.

The way I screamed when Steve hit that shot. #Legend
June 13, 1997:
Steve Kerr โbailed Michael Jordan out AGAINโ & hit the game-winning shot in GM6 of the 1997 NBA Finals 29 Years ago today.
"Michael said, 'Phil, I don't feel real comfortable in these situations. Why don't we go to Steve?'"๐คฃ

Let us know what you think! Should we do a DeBarge episode? #BehindTheGroove
Dave wants a DeBarge episode. The catalog is there. The hits are there. El's solo run alone could carry an episode.
Should we make it happen? YES or NO ๐

Remembering David Hockney, he was kind and always had a sparkle in his eye. He never stopped experimenting and is one of the finest painters of our generation.

Yes A-Ha isn't a one-hit wonder and this song is better than Take On Me. #ISaidWhatISaid
The Sun Always Shines on T. V. is from the album Hunting High and Low (1985), a-ha's debut album.
The video is the direct sequel to the famous video for "Take On Me". Produced by Alan Tarney, the track has a synth-pop more melancholy, atmospheric and cinematic than the previous hit, with a denser production.
It was a huge success in Europe: #1 on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in January 1986 (first number 1 there) and top 10 in several countries. It helped the album sell over 10 million copies worldwide and proved that A-Ha wasn't just a one hit wonder.
