R.I.P. Beloved Teena Marie

Teena Marie has passed and am coming out of shock about the news now.

As you all know, she is one of my favorites.  Words cannot describe the sadness I feel right now.  I am reposting Video we took at concert at L.A. County Fair this summer.  She was only 54!!!  Live each moment to the fullest, Family.

Happy Birthday, Clark Terry - 90 years old today!

Happy Birthday, Clark Terry,

Just when you think I review current, independent worldwide house music, today’s Jewel is fellow Saint Louis native, Clark Terry.  Happy birthday, Mr. Terry, who was born December 14 in St. Louis, Missouri--90 years ago!  I wonder how old he was when he did this with Count Basie’s band?  What a treat to be able to watch Count Basie at my desk before beginning my transcribing for the day.  What a great song and presence!  I am so excited to be able to share this with you.  There are so many positives about these-here modern times that magic unfolds with the click of a mouse.  We salute you, Clark Terry, a Living Legend!

REVIEW: Shareholder Tom - "Havanna - Asmara, via Colonia"

Happy Funky #FollowFriday, Family,

What's the deal with all the German soul?  First Richie B. and Melodia and now Shareholder Tom's record "Havanna - Asmara, via Colonia" is now in rotation in Funk Sanctum. But first, watch this video, it's fun. Love the music, too!

Shaun Escoffery - Days Like This (Live Performance)

Happy Funky #FollowFriday, Family,

Just don't know what to talk about first. Listening to Funk Sanctum Radio, and the dj Spinna remix of Shaun Escoffery's "Days Like This," played sending me on a hunt for videos of Mr. Escoffery. I can hardly sit in my chair because I am so very excited to share this video with you. I don't remember ever seeing this video, have you? Well, let me know what you think about Shaun Escoffery's voice. He is one of my personal favorites.

REVIEW: "Finest NY House"; Justin Johnson "Go Back"; Sted-E and Hybrid Heights

Greetings, Friends,

Grinding away at work counting down the hours until free again!  Happy days are here again.  It is unbelievable what we went through yesterday.  Pearl, our dog, was sprayed directly in eyes and face by a skunk yesterday morning.  What is the main thing you want to remember if your dog is skunked?  Do not let them in the house.  I know that now and am sharing it for you file in your memory,  just in case you ever need this information!

Finest NY House 2010
First, I want to talk about King Street Sounds' "Finest NY House in 2010" as I loved "Finest NY House from 2009."  It is playing right now while typing this with my head bobbing and foot tapping.  So what, you say?  Well, I just happen to be at work and am supposed to be listening to dictation from some defense attorney in my headphones, not the finest dance music on the planet as presented by dj Goddessa of !!!  :)  Oh, click and you could be right here with us:

Funky #FollowFriday

Happy Funky #FollowFriday, Family,

This blog-hopping fool visited so many inspirational blogs  today and am following all who have "follow"; however, do not expect to see the actual blog badge posted here.  If you are here because of my recent "follow," welcome and please take some time to look around and check out some older posts.

The second most important page is "How to Listen to Funk Sanctum Radio," which seems like many have forgotten, or something.  Please let me know if you have tried to listen and have experienced any difficulty whatsoever.  The best way is this link:


There are other methods. . . read more here:


I will be adding to this post over the weekend, but in the meantime, share some love today ...

Juno Download’s 24 free tracks for Christmas | Juno Plus

Juno Download’s 24 free tracks for Christmas | Juno Plus

As always, your dj is all over the freebies and willing to share the loot:


"The folks at Juno Download have come down with a severe case of Christmas fever, and it seems the only cure is to give away a new track every 24 hours in the lead up to the big day, kicking off with In Flagranti’s Balearic burner “Osmotic Pressure“.
After you’ve checked out the above video clip for the track, directed by In Flagranti’s Alex Gloor, we recommend you familiarise yourself with the Xmas Free Track HQ over at Juno Download. Get to know it, have a walk around and make yourself at home, as this will be the spot where you claim your daily downloads.
Each day from December 1 right up until Christmas eve, a new track will be made available, and all you have to do to claim the prize is tweet about it or share it on Facebook.
We won’t reveal the identity of the other free tracks just yet – we don’t want to spoil the surprise after all – but we can tell you there will be material from a host of top labels, including M Plant, Tirk,Poker Flat, Bear Funk, K7, Strut, Ostgut Ton, Hospital, Tectonic and loads more.
We can also tell you we’ll have a brand new, previously unheard Tom Trago track up for grabs before the month is out, plucked from his upcoming album Iris, which is due for release early next year.
And as a further kicker, our chums at Mixcloud will be posting a load of free mixes from the artists involved with this project. Not too shabby eh?"
