Turn back the hands of time,
let me hold you one more time.
Can I Change My Mind was originally a B-side that DJs flipped and made into a massive hit against the label's wishes. Tyrone Davis had a voice that could soothe or demand, shifting from velvet to gravel in the same line. He became the voice of Chicago soul, a sound that could calm a room one minute and fill it the next. More on Tyrone Davis →

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.

What Have You Done For Me Lately
What's up girl?
He stood me up again

Tired of empty promises and neglect now. She demands reciprocity in love going forward. Past efforts mean nothing without present action shown. Respect must be earned consistently. No more accepting less than deserved. Standards raised permanently. His excuses no longer satisfy her needs.

You’re Kidding, Right
Chaka Khan revealed in her 2023 memoir that severe dyslexia has prevented her from ever reading a single book cover to cover. One of music's most powerful communicators couldn't read one. Her voice connected with millions, but the written word was always a barrier. That she achieved everything she did despite that obstacle makes her even more remarkable.
Soul in the Movies
Good Morning Vietnam Robin Williams played Adrian Cronauer in Good Morning Vietnam, an Armed Forces Radio DJ who used music as a weapon against the insanity of war. Martha Reeves & The Vandellas' 'Nowhere to Run' blasts from the radio while Cronauer talks faster than the bullets. The song is about being trapped. The war is about the same thing. Nowhere to run. Saigon knew.

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.
