OLDIES SUNDAY: Garnet Silk – Mama (1992)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In celebration of Mothers’ Day I feature another song as a tribute to mothers, this time it’s done by the late Garnet Silk. Titled “Mama” and produced by Courtney Cole in 1992, this was a cover version of Clarence Carter’s hit “Patches” which was done in 1970. “Patches” was also a cover of Chairmen of the Board’s hit which was also done in 1970. In the song Garnet sings about his mom being there for him all his life and even though his father died when he was very young his mom played both parental roles. He also sang about working hard to take care of his mom in return.

RDXOnstage

From bursting on the dancehall scene in 2007 with dance songs there’s no slowing down from the duo RDX and tonight they visited the Onstage set. Here they spoke about their progress since their debut, their style of music and how they’ve managed to tap into the Soca market, their image, learning the music business, current success and future projects. They also premiered their single “Summer Days” that you can also hear here. Good interview, RDX has been known to burn up the dances so I don’t expect anything less from them for the rest of the year. What you think?

QQOnstage

On tonight’s episode of Onstage, deejay QQ made his way onto the set to have a chat with Winford Williams. Sporting a leather trench coat, he spoke on his absence from the dancehall scene to attend to exams, his current and future projects, not following the crowd and even premiering his “One Drop” music video. Very short Interview but seeing QQ’s choice of attire made me wonder if he took the blue pill…or the red pill. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
