Funkin it up Friday's

So I think since I have been slacking on the updates I will have to create a strict blogging regimen. I know that's really bad on my part, but I really want to stay dedicated to this blog and becoming involved in the blogging world.

With that being said every Friday I will feature an artist...some new and some oldies but goodies.

This week's artist is the very talented Bobby Caldwell. He is best known for his song "What you won't do for love" This song is such a complex yet simple ballad created by one of the well known artists known by their Blue Eyed Soul.

The track featured below is one that was made famous by Common and then sampled again by Dwele.
