Ledisi is nominated for an outstanding three Grammys this year; Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for the single “Pieces Of Me”, and Best R&B Album for the album Pieces Of Me.
And to think that at one time she seriously considered leaving the music industry because she was unsure of where she fit in.
It’s a good thing she didn’t leave because in 2007 she joined the Verve music label and released her third album Lost & Found. The album earned Ledisi her first two Grammy nominations and she’s been getting the Grammy nod ever since. Ledisi’s 2009 album Turn Me Loose earned her two more Grammy nominations. So, combined with this year’s nominations, Ledisi has a total of seven Grammy nominations under her belt.
Look at what happens when you just hang on and “do you”. To find out if Ledisi wins, tune in to the Grammy Awards on February 12 at 8/7c on CBS.
A tribute to two of the baddest brothers in the game right now. I hope you enjoy it.

“The Sound Of Philadelphia” by MFSB (Mother, Father, Sister, Brother) featuring vocals by the group The Three Degrees was written by Philly Soul legends Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff as the theme song for the television show Soul Train. The song reached #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B chart in 1974. Although the song was re-recorded in different versions over the different eras of black music (’80s R&B, New Jack Swing, Hip-Hop, Neo-Soul) since 1974, “The Sound Of Philadelphia” remained the show’s theme song until the final episode in 2006.

Andy Compton of The Rurals (Peng Records) has created a reputation as one of the best and most prolific Deep House producers in the business. Here he comes with a brand new sound that is really close to his heart. COMPTON is a Soul/Funk/Jazz project that boasts the very best musicians from the West Coast like Charlie Hearnshaw , Jeff Bass, Pete Mo, Andy Barton and Alex Pamplin along with guest vocals from amazing soul artists from around the world including: Jaidene Veda, Ladybird, Diviniti and Kafele (all House legends in their own right). This project is quite interesting because it showcases another side to these artists’ talents. Taking inspiration from it’s urban LA name sake, you can hear COMPTON’s musical influences from The Crusaders, Shuggie Otis, Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, War, Marvin Gaye and of course James Brown. This project represents the next level in Soul music with real organic musicianship and production. The result is quite simply a modern classic.
Maverick Sabre is a new soul artist from the UK who has been described as the “male Amy Winehouse” and that description is spot on. You love his voice or you don’t. You’ll dig his style or you won’t. Check out the music sampler for his debut album Lonely Are The Brave due for release in 2012 and the video for the single “Let Me Go” below.
