Peabo Bryson
Today’s Artist
Peabo Bryson 1951-
A whole new world,
a dazzling place I never knew.
Peabo Bryson sang duets that defined 80s and 90s ballads, recording with Roberta Flack and Regina Belle on songs that became wedding staples. He won Grammys for Beauty and the Beast and A Whole New World. His voice was smooth enough to hold its own against any partner who shared the mic with him. More on Peabo Bryson →

Signed, Sealed, Delivered 0:30 is a promise with no return address. When love reaches the point of no return, there is only one thing left: I am yours. He has made mistakes but he belongs to her. The deal is final.

All of him, every piece, delivered with no fine print. She can keep him or send him back but he is not taking the offer off the table.

Today’s Record
Fight The Power Part 1
Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be
Album art
The Isley Brothers

A call to resist oppression and stand up against injustice. The lyrics encourage people to challenge authority and demand change. Frustration with systemic inequality fuels the demand for action. Unity and determination are essential weapons in the struggle for equality.

Monica
For You I Will (From "Space Jam")
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
She promises to cross oceans and bring the moon. Be his hero and his strength. When he feels lost she will be waiting. She will light his way for all time. Some people say these things. She means every single word.

You’re Kidding, Right
Elvis Presley met Fats Domino in 1959 and pointed at him saying, 'No, that is the real king of rock and roll.' Fats sold over 65 million records and his first single 'The Fat Man' is widely cited as the first rock and roll record ever. The king knew who the real king was. While Elvis wore the crown, he knew who forged it.
Soul in the Movies
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 James Gunn's Guardians trilogy is built on the premise that a Walkman and a mixtape are all you need to save the galaxy. Vol 3 opens with Radiohead's 'Creep' -- a song about being broken and unworthy -- playing through Rocket Raccoon's earbuds as he walks through Knowhere. The film spends two hours proving the song wrong. What the hell am I doing here? The Guardians knew.

Heartache
Heartache is not the same as sadness. Sadness settles. Heartache is sharp, specific, a thing you can......

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.
