Sound & Groove, Episode 75: "Colour My World" Part 1

The Winstons were a Washington, DC outfit that didn't have a long time in the spotlight as although they had two top 10 hits, they were only separated by a year. The A side of their biggest single, "Color Him Father," is featured here on this first of 2 themed episodes to round out the 2017 compliment (here in early 2018!) on the S&G Podcast. The B-side "Amen Brother" featured a drum break groove that later lived on in infamy as one of the most sampled in the history of hip-hop & electronic music. They may be the most obscure artists on this episode but their hit featured here does live on as a soul classic with a wholesome, heartwarming message in a time of acid, protest and war splitting apart the USA

This is the 5th official podcast episode of 2017 here on the Sound & Groove Podcast. It's long overdue but no need to worry, as this one will be followed up soon enough because it's part 1 of a 2-part theme on songs that discuss colours in the lyrics or just the title if we want to get looser about it. So check out some of my favourite tracks that fit with this motif I've come up with this time around.

And if you haven't been keeping up with S&G on Music of Evan's Mind and/or its home at www.notthepublicbroadcaster.com, here's the breakdown: Every month there will be a theme that the selection of music is centred around. It will be jam-packed with my analysis, synopses, anecdotes and other witticisms you might enjoy while I play edited-down versions of each tune. And not to worry, because each month will containe a different theme than the last. Got it? Gt it? Good. Happy listening, all.

All comments, questions and feedback are greatly welcomed and appreciated! I encourage participation. Even though I drain an hour off your life by listening to the podcast then checking through the links, at least you don't have to fork over your money to me... though if you feel like, you know... But in all seriousness, let me now what you'd like to hear or see and I'll consider it. Popular approval doesn't always sway me but having fans or listeners get their input would be just grand!
