Vocalist and Instrumentalist SKYLER JETT

The lists of recording, production, arrangement and writing credits of vocalist/instrumentalist SKYLER JETT is virtually endless. It's amazing that with everything Mr. Jett has accomplished in the music and entertainment industries, he is not a household name. He stands next to greatness in most all of his endeavors. Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones...... and that's just the beginning. And wait 'til you hear how he brought the legendary icon himself, Sly Stone out of hiding and back on to the stage. But, the project that is near and dear to Mr. Jett's heart is musicforglobalchange.com. What is it and how can you help? SKYLER JETT will inform and enlighten you on THE PLAYGROUND ....

Artist, Producer, Songwriter and Keyboard Giant - Chris Jasper

Just mention the name CHRIS JASPER and you already know! Widely known for his being a member of the '3+3' ISLEYS, his incredible keyboard virtuosity and musicianship stand alone. His songwriting, arranging and production chops are masterful. In just about all his recordings with The Isleys, there is a keyboard line or chord progression that is still memorable and iconic to this very day. For example, if I said 'For The Love Of You,' I know you'll start out humming that beginning synth line. And that quintessential song is just one of many that incorporates the infamous CHRIS JASPER/Isley's sound.  Mr. Jasper has quite a few award winning solo projects under his belt as well through his Gold City Records label. A Julliard graduate, Mr. Jasper knows all too well, that while the music business can be fun and rewarding, it is still a business! A fact most tend to forget. And the steps he was willing to take, the things he was willing to learn to insure his success are the reasons Mr. Jasper remains a force in the industry today.  Note taking time with artist, producer, songwriter and keyboard giant, CHRIS JASPER on THE PLAYGROUND ....

SWITCH sharing the memories of Tommy DeBarge...

From the moment I met Tommy DeBarge, I was immediately drawn in. Tommy had such an engaging spirit. Everybody loved Tommy. And Tommy loved everybody. In fact, he always said so. 'I love everybody, man!' He greeted complete strangers as though he'd known them for years. Tommy was indeed, EVERYBODY’S brother. I am honored to have known Tommy and to have worked with him. SWITCH brought us together and as a result, we are forever brothers. I'd lost touch with Tommy over the the past few years. Time, distance, circumstances, life. We had such a great time the last time we were together. I missed him in life and now I will miss him in death. In a special segment of THE PLAYGROUND, I asked a few special friends to share their thoughts and memories of the late ..... and definitely great TOMMY DEBARGE! Check out an awesome conversation and somewhat of a family reunion on THE PLAYGROUND .... as always WHERE THE PLAYERS PLAY. And as you all know, our brother Tommy was definitely a player! Rest, Tommy DeBarge (1957 - 2021). #theplayground #wheretheplayersplay #podnationtv #tommydebarge #eddiefluellen #theresagoss #listenandlearn

The Former Ladies of the Supremes are on the Playground with Eddie Fluellen

Sadly, we recently lost Mary Wilson, one of the original and founding members of The Supremes. Though Ms. Wilson had long since left the group, that didn't stop Scherrie Payne, Susaye Green, and Joyce Vincent, collectively known as THE FORMER LADIES OF THE SUPREMES from carrying on.  For years, FLOS have performed the hits of The Supremes to packed houses all over the world continuing in The Supremes tradition of class, beauty, glamour and style. And each one of these ladies is a star in her own right with a number of credits to their individual names. For example, what is Ms. Payne's connection to the 1971 smash hit, "Want Ads" (The Honey Cone)? What hugely popular 70's group was Ms.Vincent a founding member?  SCHERRIE PAYNE and JOYCE VINCENT of the FORMER LADIES OF THE SUPREMES are on THE PLAYGROUND .... WHERE THE PLAYERS PLAY.  #theplayground #wheretheplayersplay #podnationtv #eddiefluellen #formerladiesofthesupremes #theresagoss #listenandlearn

BRENDA LEE EAGER is on THE PLAYGROUND

"Music is central to my life. It's between God and music - and a lot of the time I consider those two words to be nearly interchangeable. My music is a reflection of the spiritual lessons that I practice in my life. I can't think of a better place to speak from, as we face profound issues, than through our collective voice and stories of magic, of vision and of love.” --- BRENDA LEE EAGER BRENDA LEE EAGER is the embodiment of her very words. While she rose to stardom for her impeccable vocal work standing next to the late, great JERRY BUTLER ("Ain't Understanding Mellow", "If This World Were Mine"), Ms. Eager has also performed with and written for a veritable who's who in the music industry.
