C-Heads Magazine Enjoy the sundown during this smooth sailing trip on a beautiful autumn evening! Although a magnificent singer and nominated for a Tony award, the career of Phyllis Hyman never blossomed. She had a troubled relationship with her record company Arista, because of artistic differences and a controversial nude photoshoot for Oui Magazine in 1982. She also had to deal with some mental problems. She suffered from bipolar disorder and depression for years, having been diagnosed in the 1980s. She also struggled with an alcohol and drugs addiction. The singer died by suicide on June 30, 1995.  “While she never attained a pop hit or went gold, no list of the best soul ballads, quiet storm deep cuts, or disco singles is complete without Hyman's impeccably rich voice.” (Allmusic.com) Next up is a new part of Mellow Mellow FM , followed by a Mixcloud Exclusiv e . Tracklist: Ronney Abramson – Light Up Your Love (1978) Phyllis Hyman – Be Careful (1978) Jussi Halme – Autumn G...

Kenneth Hagemeyer An hour at a club in the 1980s must have sounded something like this: some underground dance tracks, a few hits of the moment and a couple of mixing tricks. Enjoy! The original version of Break Out by The Pointer Sisters was released in the U.S. on November 6, 1983, followed by a resequenced version soon after. I Need You was issued as the first single and was an adult contemporary hit, but it just barely cracked the U.S. top 40. When the follow up singles Automatic and Jump both hit the top five on all three of the U.S. pop, R&B and dance charts, the album shot into the top ten. The most common version of the album was the third release and appeared in stores when Jump (For Your Love) was at the peak of its success. The opening track by Jesse Johnson is from The Breakfast Club soundtrack and the closing track is from Pretty In Pink , two hugely successful eighties movies. Next up is a new Smooth Sailing part and there will be a Mixcloud Exclusive soon as ...

  Haim & Taylor Swift Welcome on board of the floating hotel! This mix is slightly different from the ones I usually make. My intention was to put together a chill wave mix, but I threw in some yacht rock and funk as well. In the end it has become quite eclectic. I hope you will enjoy! When Jeremy Spencer left Fleetwood Mac overnight to become a member of a Christian sect, guitarist Bob Welch replaced him and played on several albums during the first part of the 1970s. After Mick Fleetwood had asked the duo Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to join the band, Welch started a solo career. He made some well-received albums until 1983, but sales steadily declined and he eventually became a songwriter in Nashville. During the 1980s he had to cope with a serious drug addiction. In 1994, he filed a lawsuit against Fleetwood Mac, claiming he was underpaid royalties during his employment. The case was settled out of court, but Welch stated that Fleetwood Mac took revenge by having him...

Unsplash Hop in your car, tune in to Mellow Mellow FM Radio and start driving! 😊  When Phil Everly had finished his Star Spangled Springer album in 1973, he sent a copy of it to the Hollies. He thought it would be fun if this British band did a cover of one his songs, because they always had expressed their admiration for the Everly Brothers. They actually did cover one of the tracks from the LP, but it was the one song that Phil Everly did not write. They recorded a version of The Air That I Breathe , a song that first appeared on Albert Hammond’s 1972 album It Never Rains In California . The Hollies made a worldwide success of the song, using the arrangement that Duane Eddy had written for Phil Everly.  Get Closer is the title track from Seals & Crofts eighth studio album, released when they were at the peak of their success. The duo wrote the song together. Guest star on backing vocals is Carolyn Willis. She was a part of the early seventies R&B vocal trio The Ho...
