Blue-eyed soul

Pull up a seat.

First and foremost, I feel like we should give a little bit of background because I know some of y'all don't understand what the term blue eyed soul means.

Of course, first define one of the key contributors to the definition of blue eyed soul, black music.

What is black music? Whatever you think, quote, black music is music done by black people, music composed by black people.

Music coming out of Black culture and then disseminating to the rest of American culture in the world.

However you want to define it, that's Black music.

What Blue Eyed Soul is, the white artists that inhabit this space and also create great music that is coming out of a section of quote unquote music that was supposed to be reserved for Black people or originated by Black people.

By that definition, almost everything that we enjoy and think of as pop music has been black music since, what, the 1920s? So keep that in mind, because we're going to go wherever we feel like going.

You know, like that genre.

When you go blue-eyed soul music, you go...

It's

black people's stuff, and white people sprinkle some whiteness

Sitting on the porch, just wasting time Talking about the dreams we were gonna chase Now look at us, baby, in a better place You knew my secrets, I knew yours We had our little fight, slammed a couple doors But every time the world pretend you were my lover and my best friend through the sunshine through the rain one thing about us never change we go way back way back but for the money in the cadillac we go way back way back got a whole lot of history and that's a fact through the ups and downs when nobody else was around you had my heart Remember that old car that barely ran You'd hold the wheel while I made the plans Radio playing our favorite song We'd sing every word, getting half of them wrong Now everybody sees the way we shine But they don't know the mountains we had to climb They see the good life, they see the glow But they don't know half of what we know some bad, lost a few things we thought we'd always have, but one thing time could never change, is the love we built along the way, we go way back, way back, before the money and the Cadillac, we go way back, way back, got a whole lot of history and that's a fact, through the ups and downs, when nobody else was around, Before the fancy clothes Before the sold out show Before the whole wide world ever knew our names You love me just the same And if we lost it all tomorrow I wouldn't have no sorrow Cause everything I need is standing here with me Right here with me Oh, don't you know Some things get better with time

Blue-Eyed Soul.

Back to back.

It's the softest place on the planet.

My friends, it's time for us to get ready to go home now.

Before we get there, we got to pass through the blue-eyed soul corner.

Kicking us off is brand new music from Miss Maggie Ray.

The track's entitled We Go Way Back in the Cafe.

We've had some good days, had some bad, lost a few things we thought we'd always have.

But one thing time could never change is the Through the ups and downs When nobody else was around Before the fancy clothes Before the sold out show Before the whole wide world ever knew our names You love me just the same And if we lost it all tomorrow I wouldn't have no sorrow Cause everything I need is standing here with me Right here with me Oh, don't you know Some things get better with time

chilled blue-eyed soul you're inside the soul cafe

to your place on the floor.

I've lived here since then.

Okay, but growing, growing up in Philly, um, obviously I- I- I was, uh, looking at a, a little bit of, uh, of your history and, you know, the, the Blue Eyed Soul, uh, in Philadelphia and of course, uh, you and Daryl Hall and, uh, getting together.

You- you guys, uh, growing up in Philly, you- you didn't meet until college, correct?

Yeah.

What you just heard was Wayne Gibson doing a version of Under My Thumb.

You can call this Blue-Eyed Soul.

You can call it pop.

I don't care.

Right.

Um, and can we talk about Blue-Eyed Soul, Boz Scaggs, Hall & Oates, the Doobie Brothers, music hoes, memories, and this convo unlocked a few good ones for me, another great show.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

I like Hall & Oates.

Hey, guys, Hall & Oates, a little Blue Eyed Soul.

Is that song, uh, Black Betty, is that Southern rock? << Oh, Black Betty >>

Yeah.
