In Memoriam of the Day: A striking reminder of the incomparable talent we lost today: The isolated vocal track off of Whitney Houston’s ”How Will I Know.”
“When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I’d be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.” —Whitney Houston
She died today. Houston was 48.

RIP: Legendary rapper Dwight Arrington Myers — better known as Heavy D — passed away today at the age of 44.
The former frontman of hip hop pioneers Heavy D & the Boyz was rushed to an LA hospital near his Beverly Hills home around noon, and was reportedly awake at the time. However, he was pronounced dead soon after arrival.
Police have launched an investigation, but foul play is not suspected at this time.
D found mainstream success with the 1991 hit single “Now That We Found Love.” The group remained popular throughout the early 90s, peaking with 1994’s Nuttin’ But Love, which hit #1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The Boyz and D went their separately ways shortly thereafter.
Heavy D, who found some solo success in the late 90s, recently returned to the charts after adding reggae to his repertoire.

Awesome music.
Breezy summer night in D.C. Watching Brass Connection play ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’ in front of Dupont Circle station.
… I also hear Sweet Alabama playing in the distance somewhere.
Perfect Monday music.

Chicken Fried
Zac Brown Band
Well it’s funny how it’s the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There’s no dollar sign on a piece of mind
this I’ve come to know
So if you agree, have a drink with me
Raise your glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried…
I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives so we don’t have to sacrifice
All the things we love
Like our chicken fried

Paradise By the "C" (live)
“Paradise by the C” (live) by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band [1978] (released 1986)
“Paradise by the C,” an instrumental showcase for The E Street Band, went unreleased until a live recording from 1978 appeared on 1986’s legendary live album Live 1975-1985. Naturally, Clarence Clemons’ tenor sax featured prominently.
Saxophone had been a primary instrument when R&B gave birth to rock and roll in the 1950s. By the end of the ’60s, while still sometimes heard on soul records, it had mostly vanished from “rock.” It doesn’t feel like too much of a stretch to say that Clemons single-handedly kept the saxophone alive in rock music for another four decades.
RIP Clarence.
