Tammi Terrell
Today’s Artist
Tammi Terrell 1945-1970 (25)
Ain't no mountain high enough,
ain't no valley low enough.
Tammi Terrell was 21 when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor mid-tour. She kept recording with Marvin Gaye between treatments, and their duets became some of the most beloved in soul music. She died at 24, but her voice lives on through the timeless songs they made together. More on Tammi Terrell →
Who Did It Better

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else

When a Man Loves a Woman 0:30 is about love so consuming it leaves room for nothing else. She becomes the center of every thought. He would give up everything for her. Sleep on concrete. Sell his only coat. The obsession is total and undeniable.

The question is not whether he loves her. The question is whether she would do the same. Love this deep requires equal measure. Anything less and the whole thing collapses under its own weight.

No One
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

Nothing can break what they have. People talk but their opinions do not matter. Rain pours but he is always there. She knows it for certain. You and me together through the days and nights. No one gets in the way of real love.

Kiss And Say Goodbye
I've got to kiss and say goodbye
I've got to kiss and say goodbye
He knows it is over. She belongs to someone else now. One last kiss and then the door closes forever. The hardest thing is knowing exactly what you are losing and walking away anyway because staying would hurt her more than leaving her alone.

Soul in the Movies
Lady Sings the Blues 1972
Lady Sings the Blues Diana Ross played Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues and the industry said she was wrong for the role -- too glamorous, too polished. She got nominated for an Oscar. She sang 'Lady Sings the Blues' live on set, no playback, because she understood Holiday's voice wasn't about technique. Lady sings the blues. The lady was both of them.

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.
