Ohio Players 1959-
Fire! I'm on fire,
got a burning desire for you honey.
From Dayton with horns wide open, the Ohio Players brought funk that hit your hips before you knew what was happening. Fire and Love Rollercoaster turned every dancefloor into a sweatbox. The album covers got all the attention, but the grooves kept the people coming back. They proved funk could be both dirty and polished. More on Ohio Players →

What's Going On 0:30 asks what is happening to us. Mother, mother, there are too many of you crying. Brothers on corners, children with hollow eyes, soldiers coming home in boxes. Everybody talks but nobody hears the answer to the question.

The question is not rhetorical. He genuinely wants to know what is going on in a world that does not make sense. Love is the only answer he can find. But love requires listening and nobody is listening.

Now that I can dance

The Contours

She broke his heart because he could not dance. Now he can really move. He came back to let her know. Watch him now. The question was never about dancing. It was about whether she ever loved him at all.

Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)
Pretty
Pretty brown eyes, you know I see you
Mesmerizing gaze causes emotional devastation inside. Those brown eyes pierce through every defense erected carefully. Love arrives uninvited through visual connection made. One look crushes all resolve instantly. The power of someone's stare undoes everything built over time. Heartbreak begins with eye contact.

You’re Kidding, Right
Frank Wilson recorded "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" as a solo single under Berry Gordy's orders. Gordy hated it and ordered every copy destroyed. The 250 surviving copies are the most expensive Northern soul 45, worth over $30,000. Berry Gordy tried to erase this song. Now it's the most valuable Northern soul record in existence.
Soul in the Movies
Jackie Brown 1997
Jackie Brown Tarantino built Jackie Brown around Pam Grier, around the memory of blaxploitation, around the idea that a woman in her forties could be the coolest person in the room. Robert Forster's Max Cherry falls in love quietly. Samuel L. Jackson's Ordell Robbie talks his way toward a bad end. Bobby Womack's 'Across 110th Street' opens and closes the film like a thesis statement -- a man looking back on a life he didn't plan. The song is the movie in three minutes.

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.
