In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. During a recording session to record organ tracks for a gospel album, meeting Paul Simon (Love Me Like A Rock), Evelyn Champagne King (during process of recording her hit "Shame"), and gospel legend Shirley Caesar made an amazing day for me! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alexander O'Neal, My Gift to You Brenda Russell, Paris Rain James Brown, Sex Machine (Live) These are albums that I have played over and over again for as long as I can remember. I love the melodic architecture of each song, the arrangements of the instruments within the mix, and the rhythmic drive I feel within these albums. 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. “Song for My Love” Because I wrote this song to celebrate my love for my wife. It later became an entry for consideration on the Grammy Awards ballot, and received over 1,500 streams months after its release. No doubt that it is a hit record!
