I can always remember so many people calling into the station to request his song, and honestly, I can understand why. His performance and his playing lives up to the title and has a way of putting a smile on your face every time you listen to it on the radio or you play it in your head. We’ll miss you, Chuck ♥️

Chuck Mangione, the jazz flugelhorn and trumpet player whose catchy instrumental 'Feels So Good' made the pop top 10, has died at 84.

Hey Everyone!

The world is still mourning the loss of Ozzy Osbourne and I wanted to share a little piece of Ozzy history. This is, in one way, how I was introduced to the Prince of Darkness. I remember watching TV and this commercial for the online game “World Of Warcraft” appeared on my screen. Ozzy introduced himself and things went “off the rails” from there!

Take a look if you haven’t seen it before! This is the commercial uploaded to YouTube by the channel “Habthemage.”

This one definitely hurts: Ozzy and Black Sabbath were perhaps the most synonymous with the word “rock.” You couldn’t grow up loving that genre without him finding his way into your orbit of music. Their last show at Villa Park will always be legendary. RIP to the Crown Prince of Darkness ♥️

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.

We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.

Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

Connie Francis was a trailblazer and one of the strongest souls to have ever graced this earth. She was the first woman to ever top the HOT 100 with “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” in 1960. She was also a survivor of sexual assault and suffered personal tragedies that would test her resolve time and time again, but in the end she stood up tall and cemented herself as an icon. It brings me a little warmth knowing that, in her final days, the world showed her so much love thanks to “Pretty Little Baby” going viral. We’ll miss you, Connie ♥️ Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.

One of the most commercially successful female singers in history, she also had hits with "Who's Sorry Now?," "Mama," "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" and "Stupid Cupid."

in 1979, Donna Summer’s “Bad Girls” single went to Number 1 on the Billboard HOT 100!

From the album of the same name, the single was backed with “On My Honor” on the B-Side and it’s usually paired with “Hot Stuff” on some 12” records and “Greatest Hits” compilations to create the perfect dance mix. That’s why my 12” version from Casablanca (with an 8-minute “I Feel Love” mix on the B-Side) is perhaps my favorite record in my entire collection!

“It's twelve noon in London, 7 am in Philadelphia, and around the world it's time for Live Aid.”

40 years ago today, the biggest benefit concert in the world was broadcasted to over 100 countries and reached 1.9 Billion people. Attended by 160,000 fans between Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, the biggest stars in the world gathered together for an unforgettable day in 1985. Live Aid was the brainchild of Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and through their efforts they raised over £150 million to combat famine in Ethiopia.

Of course, the stand out act that day at Wembley was none other than Queen. Their set featuring Freddie Mercury’s iconic vocal exercises with the crowd etched itself into music history. Here’s Queen performing one of my favorite songs from the set: “Radio Ga Ga!”

What do you remember about Live Aid?
