Melvin Riley of Ready for the World reveals the origin of 'Oh Sheila'—a track so funky Prince and Sheila E thought it was a secret project. From his basement to a legendary chat with Prince at Tramps, here is the real story behind the hit. #ReadyForTheWorld #MelvinRiley #80sMusic

Dope.
Brad Bird explains that each person's powers in ‘THE INCREDIBLES’ represents an average family unit. “Fathers are expected to be strong, so I made him super strong. Mothers are pulled in ten directions at once, so she stretches. Teenagers are insecure & defensive so she can turn invisible & has force fields. 10-year old boys are energy balls that just go until they pass out. Babies are unknowns, they could be the next leader of the free world or they could be a bag man, you don’t know.” (Source: @ThatHollywood)

Il y a quarante ans pile, Prince finalise et enregistre ce titre. Il avait commencé à l’écrire en 1979 mais ça ne lui convenait pas. I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man | Prince.

Nathan Watts's bass on "Sir Duke", note by note. Stevie wrote it as a tribute to Duke Ellington and the swing-era greats. The famous unison run has Watts doubling the horn section note for note, one of the hardest bass parts in pop.

Son: Dad, is that soul, pop, or rock? Dad: Son, that's the beauty of it. Back then, nobody cared what you called it. When a voice sounded like THAT, you just turned it up.

So true.
Some people are only comfortable with you when you're struggling. The moment your life starts improving, their attitude toward you changes.

Greatest bassist ever. 🫡
James Jamerson's bass on "What's Going On", visualized note by note. Legend says Marvin tracked him down at a bar that night, and he played it lying flat on the studio floor. One finger, his '62 Fender Precision Bass, and the rest was history.

Q-Tip made the "Electric Relaxation" beat in Phife Dawg's grandmother's basement. She'd given him a key. Phife came home, heard Ronnie Foster's "Mystic Brew" drifting up from below and ran downstairs without even saying hi to grandma: “Yo, what the hell is that?!”

The moment you stop being useful to certain people, you'll realize how little they actually valued you.

I absolutely love the light in Shelia eyes when she realizes he does indeed know who she is. Now I'm back to bumping glamorous life🩷 The Streets don't forget about legends.
