Rick James 1948-2004 (56)
She's a very kinky girl.
.**FIXXXXX**
Rick James skipped the draft to Canada, learned bass from watching Sly Stone, and came back as the baddest one in the room. Super Freak was a song about his own life that became everybody else's party. He sampled himself before hip-hop made it standard. His whole act was too much and exactly enough, a candle burning at both ends and every middle too. More on Rick James →

Who Did It Better
play A Song for You
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you're a friend of mine

A Song for You 0:30 is what you say when words are not enough but they are all you have left. He is at the end of the road, turning back to the one who stayed. No more hiding. Just the truth, rough and unpolished.

What he owes cannot be repaid with anything but honesty. So he gives that ... his unvarnished self, right here, right now, before the music fades and the silence takes over.

Today’s Record
Boogie Down
Boogie
Boogie down baby
Album art

Time to boogie down. Leave worries at home. The music calls. Dance until sunrise. Boogie down is an instruction. Put on shoes and let the rhythm take control. Not complicated. Just move and let the night carry wherever it wants to go.

You’re Kidding, Right
Marvin Sapp's 'Never Would Have Made It' spent 45 weeks on Billboard's Gospel chart -- a record that stood for years. He was ready to quit.
Soul in the Movies
Boogie Nights 1997
Boogie Nights Paul Thomas Anderson was twenty-seven when he made Boogie Nights, an epic about the San Fernando Valley porn industry set to the best disco compilation that never existed. Heatwave's title track -- written by Rod Temperton, who'd go on to write 'Thriller' -- is the film's thesis: joy that can't last, a party that doesn't know it's ending. Everybody's got one special thing. The music is Boogie Nights' thing.

Why We're Here
Most of us grew up with free radio. Then corporations took over the playlist. Then we found Spotify and YouTube -- until the algorithm quietly decided what we liked, and suddenly we were stuck on repeat again. There's so much music out there, and only so much time to hear it.
At HotSupper, we just want to open things up a little. Maybe you'll stumble on an artist you've never heard of. Maybe you'll rediscover a song you'd completely forgotten. Maybe you'll just tap your toes. Either way, it's yours to explore. And if you have ideas to make this place better, we're all ears.
