I never question the power of love. But, I have learned that the greatest you know is the love of self. By far, self-love is the thing that makes all the other loves in your life possible. Love may come to you in many ways via many people but the constant love of your life will be your love of your life, of yourself, of your joy. It’s not always easy getting to that point. In fact, we go through a love of loves gained and loves lost before we can come to the conclusion that… to coin a Whitney Houston song… “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all”. Well, between here and there a lot of love songs will have to carry us through. Here are some songs that speak to all kinds of affairs of the heart. Enjoy!

Playlist:

Power of Love -Stephanie Mills
Living All Alone -Phyllis Hyman
Love Ballad -Jeffery Osborne
Any Love -Luther Vandross
Devotion -Earth Wind & Fire
My Love -Jill Scott
Love Calls -Kem
Is it Love -Graham Central Station
I Try -Angela Bofill
I’ll be there -The Jackson 5

Podcast Summary

My take on "this thing called love" complete with a playlist of R&B tunes to celebrate and navigate through the ups and downs of romanctic life. Plus... an added bonus of what I like to call a soothing "sound bath"... which is a relaxation technique via guided meditation and healing music.

I can't remember a time when music wasn't a part of my life. I've marked every single important time in my life with a song. I'm always amazed at how a song can trigger a memory or invoke an emotion. The Soulism Sounds podcasts are designed to explore those emotions that pull on our heartstrings when you are in love, out of love and somewhere in between. I started this series because, music brought me through my last heartache and I wanted others to have one, singularly focused place to tap into those great R&B love songs. The series isn't all about sad love songs. There's joy in love as well and I hope to communicate that through music. I remember my very first record and it just happened to be a love song. It was Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". I was too young to really know the meaning behind what he was talking about but it remains one of my favorite songs. My favorite song of all time is The Ohio Players tune "This Must Be Heaven." It's my favorite song, not so much because of the words or music... which by the way are amazing... but because it reminds me of the best summer of my teenage years. I even have a photo of myself holding that album. Like I said, I can't remember a time when music wasn't a part of my life. When I was younger I wanted to become a singer but my parents talked me out of it. So, I went into television production and my first TV job, of course, was at a music video network. While working at BET I was able to combine my love of music with my love of entertainment and television production. Now, as a broadcaster with over 25 years experience I continue to work in my field while exploring my "true purpose" in life. I love to write and I am working on my first book and documentary film. I love hanging out on podOmatic and being able to voice my own point of view. Leave me a comment if you like what you hear.
