ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2096729/fan_mail/new] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS A SPECIAL EPISODE. DURING MY TIME ON THIS PODCAST, WE’VE HAD MANY GREAT MOMENTS & SHARED MEMORIES. I’VE SHARED WITH YOU THE MUSIC & THE ARTISTS THAT FOR ME HAVE CREATED IN ME A LOVE OF MUSIC THAT’S STRONG, LASTING, PASSIONATE, & JUST PLAIN OLE - FUN. IN DOING SO, THERE’S ALSO THOSE TIMES WHEN - THE JOURNEY OF LIFE WILL CALL HOME ONE OF THOSE ARTISTS WHO I’M SO ENDEARED TO & WHOM I JUST SIMPLY BELIEVE CREATED MUSIC THAT FOREVER CHANGED MY LIFE. AND SO, HERE I AM AGAIN, TO TAKE TIME & PAY TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THOSE SUCH ARTISTS.  DEXTER WANSEL.  I CAN ONLY SAY FROM WHAT I KNOW, AND THAT IS, IN 1976, DEXTER WANSEL CREATED ONE OF THE MOST FUNKY, LUSCIOUS, SPACE-FUNK, GROOVY JAZZ FUSION FUNK ALBUMS EVER MADE , THE RELEASE NAMED “LIFE ON MARS.”  IN THIS PODCAST I WILL PUT TOGETHER SOME OF THE BEST SONGS THAT DEXTER WAS INVOLVED IN, EITHER AS A PRODUCER, OR SONGWRITER, OR BOTH, TO SHOW HIS INCREDIBLE RANGE AS A KEYBOARDIST, LYRICIST, R&B AND DISCO VISIONARY DURING AN INCREDIBLE RUN DURING THE 70’S BUT NOT AT ALL LEAVING OUT HIS INFLUENCE ON JAZZ FUSION, ALL DURING THE SAME TIME. ‘LIFE ON MARS’ IS ONE OF THE 50TH GREATEST ALBUMS AND RECORDS OF MY LIFETIME SIMPLY BECAUSE WHEN IT WAS RELEASED IN 1976, IT WAS AN ALBUM THAT WAS PLAYED ON BLACK RADIO. IT WAS ALSO A RECORD THAT I WAS ABLE TO LISTEN TO FIRST HAND; MY DAD BORROWED THE LP FROM A FAMILY MEMBER AND I WAS ABLE TO LISTEN TO DURING MANY, MANY LATE NIGHT LISTENING SESSIONS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS NIGHTS. TO ME, THIS ALBUM IS A STONE COLD CLASSIC.  SO LETS GET STARTED. HERE IS MY TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY, THE INCOMPARABLE, COOLEST, SMOOTHEST - DEXTER WANSEL.

[https://www.buzzsprout.com/2096729/fan_mail/new] THE SPIRIT OF 1976: 50 YEARS OF PERFECTION Imagine a year where every time you turned on the radio, you heard a masterpiece. A year where the basement studio challenged the corporate giants, and the 'Talk Box' became the voice of a generation. Family, I’m talking about 1976.  "From the spiritual fire of Earth, Wind & Fire to the meticulous genius of Stevie Wonder... from the 'Thin White Duke' himself, David Bowie, to the record-breaking harmonies of the Eagles. 1976 wasn’t just a year on the calendar—it was the blueprint for every beat, every vocal, and every groove we’re still playing today in 2026." Blaze Street Music is taking you behind the booth for a special 3-part series: 'The Class of 1976.' We’re breaking down the top 10 albums that changed the game. We’re talking about the gear, the grit, & the soul that made these records immortal. If you love music with a pulse & a soul, and legacy, you'll love the music of the Spirit of 76. "Blaze Street Music Productions presents: Music of a Lifetime – The 1976 Special. It’s more than nostalgia—it’s the DNA of sound. 🛠️ Part 2: The California Gloss & The Disco Shift *  Stevie The Eagles (Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975). 1st ever music act to achieve Platinum status!   * Earth, Wind & Fire (Gratitude (live)):  On the way to superstardom, this album showcases their spiritual experience in concert. * Fleetwood Mac (Fleetwood Mac aka 'The White Album): The rebirth of a blues band through the addition of Buckingham and Nicks.  * Boz Scaggs (Silk Degrees): Boz Scaggs handpicked an unsigned group of musicians to work the studio sessions, write songs, and go on tour  - this group would later be signed and named - Toto.
