It will be the very first time for RAMP[/b] to be featured on a full two-hour radio special dedicated to their music.RAMP[/b] is a group formed in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the mid-1970s. Originally called Saturday Night Special[/b], the group changed its name to RAMP[/b] after being discovered by Roy Ayers[/b]. RAMP stands for R[/b]oy A[/b]yers M[/b]usic P[/b]roduction and R[/b]oy A[/b]yers M[/b]usic P[/b]roject. Bandleader and drummer John Manuel[/b] also states: "The name actually refers to taking you on a journey, elevation, as in an on or up ramp, an access to another place as in highway ramps.???The group released one album, Come Into Knowledge (1977), which is now considered a classic among rare groove collectors and artists (such as PM Dawn[/b], Digable Planets[/b], Erykah Badu[/b] and a Tribe called Quest[/b], who have used RAMP[/b] samples in their music). Featuring the female vocals of Sharon Matthews[/b] and Sibel Thrasher[/b], the album was recorded in New York and California and released on Blue Thumb Records. But due to a lack of promotion, the album never charted, and the group split up shortly after the release and after only a handful of lives shows. RAMP[/b] were meant to be a vehicle for the songwriting talents of Roy Ayers[/b] and Edwin Birdsong[/b]. Their only album featured a version of Roy Ayers' Everybody Loves The Sunshine along with the 'rare groove' track Daylight.RAMP[/b] reunited in 2006 with all of its original members. Midight Soulstice[/b] co-host DJ Pari[/b] has made two trips to Europe with RAMP as their tour DJ ??? so expect a very personal interview with bandleader John Manuel[/b] and other original members of the group. We'll also play a few tracks that did not make it on the Come Into Knowledge and that were not released until recently.To listen to the radio show live, visit www.wrir.org[/b] and click on the webstream.Check out RAMP[/b] on MySpace www.myspace.com/ramp77 And make friends with Midnight Soulstice www.myspace.com/midnightsoulstice]]> https://community.soulstrut.com/discussion/52785/guest-dj-beto-free-funk-this-friday-elbo-room Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:48:40 +0000 Announcements peacefulrotation 52785@/discussions Expect some heavy cumbia and latin joints, you know how the dude Beto gets down!]]> https://community.soulstrut.com/discussion/52833/im-on-twitter-now Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:49:08 +0000 Announcements ostrange 52833@/discussions www.twitter.com/ostrangeCouple vids herewww.youtube.com/user/rhymecrimes]]> https://community.soulstrut.com/discussion/52729/kikin-bakk-blog-pantaleon-perez-prado-circle Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:33:56 +0000 Announcements discos_alma 52729@/discussions http://kikinbakk.blogspot.com/ http://kikinbakk.blogspot.com/(No analog_tape) ]]> https://community.soulstrut.com/discussion/52720/tonight-in-nyc-dj-eri-at-botanica-bar Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:33:30 +0000 Announcements Surrealist 52720@/discussions https://community.soulstrut.com/discussion/52703/free-music-from-godisheus Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:12:15 +0000 Announcements Head_Roc 52703@/discussions www.godisheus.com!]]> https://community.soulstrut.com/discussion/52702/dc-apr-13-tip-the-band-ii-asylum Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:06:22 +0000 Announcements Head_Roc 52702@/discussions Tip the Band II: Black and Brown Soul Power Concert A pre-DC Emancipation Day Kick-Off Event!

He is also vital but rarely acknowledged figure in the formulation of hip-hop out of the Bronx/Jamaica cultural nexus. Friday, April 3rd, the Maysles Cinema brings Brad???s family and close associates ??? old school hip hop and reggae pioneers in their own right ??? together to honor their friend and mentor in an evening of conversation and musical performance. In 1969 Brad opened Brad???s Record Den on White Plains Road with his wife Tami. Originally dealing in R&B and blues records, Brad???s began providing reggae from Jamaica and England to the budding Jamaican community. In 1971, Brad Osbourne, in association with Upsetters organist Glen Adams, launched Clocktower records. The Clocktower imprint became the pre-eminent vehicle for distributing and re-mastering music made in Jamaica (Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, Horace Andy to name a few) to North America and for recording of Jamaican artists in New York (Lee Perry, Linville Thompson, Johnny Clarke and many others). In 1981 Brad gave a young man named Tyrone, who worked in the break-beat section of the record store, the opportunity to record a rap for him. The result was ???Catch the Beat???, Brad gave Tyrone the name Tski Valley and Brad???s new hip hop label Grand Groove had its first hit single. Brad???s enterprises ??? the record store on White Plains Road, the Clocktower and Grand Groove record labels - were in full swing when he was killed in 1983. His legacy is carried on by Tami Osbourne, engineers such as Lloyd ???Bullwackie??? Barnes and the record stores that opened on White Plains Road by former employees and friends. The discussion and dancehall jam that will occur on Friday, April 3rd, from 9pm-2pm is the first time that friends, fans and family will come together in public celebration of Brad ???Clocktower??? Osbourne. 9pm-10pm: The PanelistsSikhulu Shange: Owner of Harlem???s Record Shack on 125th street.
