Steve Baskin

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Front row to see KISS on June 19, 1979 with Sweet opening. Mind blowing experience. Glam at its absolute heigh – had no idea I'd fall in love with Sweet. I learned to play guitar to the first five KISS records. Years later, I learned more chords. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Chaka Khan, Rufus, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Ultimate Collection: Gladys Knight & The Pips Led Zeppelin, In Through the Out Door (Remastered) It's really about three songs. Tell Me Something Good by Chaka Khan and Rufus, Fool in the Rain by Led Zeppelin and Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pips. There are a million songs that I love, but these three rise above somehow. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Love Is Hard” This song was the genesis of my new record. Falling in love is the easy part. Making it work for any significant amount of time takes work, empathy, caring and plenty of negotiation. Working the wedding vows into the bridge was a bonus.
