I Found Lovin’ - A Missing Gem on the R&B Charts 4.30.’26 3.51 PM

AI Background Music Guitar bass, guitar, strings, and bells played by: Keyboardist Gail Nobles Story by: Gail Nobles Photo: Spotify Promo Card Photo: In courtesy of Ace Records In a surprising twist, the catchy song "I Found Lovin'" by the Fatback Band, which first hit the airwaves in 1983, never made it onto the U.S. R&B charts. Co-written by bassist Johnny Flippin and new singer Michael Walker, who also sang lead vocals, the track was part of the album *With Love* and quickly gained popularity. The song initially made waves in the UK, reaching number 49 on the Singles Charts in 1984. It was re-recorded and released again in 1986, climbing to number 55 in the UK. However, the song's biggest success came in January 1987, when the original version rocketed to number 7 on the charts. Despite its catchy beat and the buzz on American Urban contemporary radio stations, "I Found Lovin'" strangely did not make an appearance on the U.S. R&B singles chart during any of its releases. This missed opportunity is puzzling for fans and music lovers alike. The song was also featured early in the 2002 film *Brown Sugar*, though it was not included in the official soundtrack, further highlighting its unique status. With its infectious rhythm and soulful vibe, "I Found Lovin'" truly deserves a place among the greats of R&B, and its absence from the charts remains a mystery. I'm Gail Nobles.

Kool & the Gang-Joanna 1:24:26 8.12 PM

Intro Commercial by: Gail Nobles Photo: Spotify Promo Card Keyboardist: Gail Nobles In a remarkable showcase of melodic charm and heartfelt lyrics, Kool & the Gang's "Joanna" has captivated listeners since its release in 1983, establishing itself as one of the defining tracks from the album *In the Heart*. Within a matter of weeks, the song connected deeply with a diverse audience, rocketing to #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The only competition it faced at the time was Culture Club's mega-hit "Karma Chameleon," which held the top position. The enduring appeal of "Joanna" lies in its emotive expression and the band's signature blend of R&B and pop sensibilities. With smooth instrumentation and touching lyrics, the song tells a touching story of love and longing, striking a chord with fans across both the United States and the United Kingdom, where it similarly achieved a #2 ranking on the singles chart. Adding to its impressive accolades, "Joanna" dominated the U.S. R&B chart, clinching the #1 position and reinforcing Kool & the Gang's status as one of the era's leading musical forces. The track's success can be attributed not only to its infectious melody but also to the band's ability to engage emotionally with their audience, making it a staple in playlists of both the past and present. As we look back on the legacy of "Joanna," it is clear that the song remains a timeless classic, resonating with new generations while still standing proud in the pantheon of 1980s hits. The blend of heartfelt lyrics, smooth harmonies, and a catchy groove continues to endear it to fans old and new, securing the song's place in music history. I’m Gail Nobles.

Michael Jackson-Billie Jean 1:2:26 4.56 PM

Podcast Cover by: Gail Nobles Keyboardist: Gail Nobles Story by: Gail Nobles Hello, I'm Gail Nobles on Q Memors! And I remember the day when nothing much was going on. That's when I heard Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. It was a few years since I last heard Michael Jackson's music, but his classic hits still popped up on the radio, especially tracks from his "Off the Wall" album. Songs like "Off the Wall" and "Rock With You" seemed to play more than others. My journey with Michael's music has been long, but it really took off in 1983 when I first heard "Billie Jean" from his "Thriller" album. The song had such a smooth beat and bass that I couldn't help but groove to it. As I listened to the beginning, I had a feeling it was Michael Jackson before he even began to sing. His unique sound was unmistakable. When the lyrics kicked in, and he sang, “People always told me be careful what you do,” I was certain it was him. I hurried to grab my little boom box to record the song, only managing to get part of it. I replayed it over and over, enjoying every moment. Back then, radio stations often played longer versions of songs, and everyone was enjoying "Billie Jean," bobbing their heads along to the rhythm. At that time, nobody had seen Michael's famous moonwalk yet. One day, while riding in the car with my parents, I heard "Billie Jean" again, but this time it was a rock band covering it. I asked, “Who’s that singing MJ’s song?” I only heard their version a couple of times, but Michael’s original remained a huge hit. "Billie Jean" soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and quickly became one of his top singles, matching his earlier hits with the Jackson 5. Years went by, and I hadn’t seen Michael perform in a long time. One evening, while watching Casey Kasem on "American Top 10," I was surprised to see a man in a stylish pink shirt with shiny, curly hair. It was Michael Jackson! His look was different; I only remembered him with his Afro from earlier days. I hadn’t seen any of his older music videos like "Rock With You" or "Don’t Stop 'Til You Get Enough," so I didn’t realize how much he had changed. His videos weren’t being aired much like in the days of NTV when music videos were at the forefront of music promotion. It seemed like I had missed the chance to see his older classics.. But then I caught a glimpse of his "Billie Jean" video, and it felt magical. The sidewalk lit up as he danced, creating a visual that was unlike anything else I had ever seen. The magic reached its peak during the legendary "Motown 25" special, where he performed "Billie Jean" solo alongside his brothers. That’s when I saw the moonwalk for the first time. It was pure magic! Michael Jackson truly was an icon, bringing a unique style and energy to music that struck fans everywhere. Radio Music Memories
