🎧Episode 115: Fusion Groove, Earth Wind & Fire Energy & Heartfelt Classics
About this episode
Episode 115 explores groove-driven musicianship and heartfelt classics in R&B and funk.
Episode 115 leans into groove-driven musicianship, classic R&B energy, and songs that hit deeper than their chart positions might suggest. Jonathan opens with a sleek, rhythm-forward selection from George Duke , blending jazz-fusion chops with undeniable funk sensibility. Curtis follows with a vibrant, horn-driven track from Earth, Wind & Fire , delivering signature energy, tight arrangements, and that unmistakable blend of soul and precision. In the category songs , Jonathan brings a #1 In Our Hearts selection from Lionel Richie , a song defined by warmth, sincerity, and timeless melody. Curtis closes with a Covers pick from Jaye P. Morgan —an unexpected choice for many listeners, given that she’s often more closely associated with The Gong Show than with reinterpretations of soulful classics. Fusion grooves, classic soul craftsmanship, and songs that continue to resonate—Episode 115 keeps things smooth, heartfelt, and deeply musical. Curtis Gross is a self-employed video editor. Jonathan Workman is an adult learning consultant based in Wichita, KS. --- Make sure you are subscribed to Why Is This So Hard For You. Type Why Is This So Hard For You in your podcast provider…
