SEATTLE MUSIC DOCUMENTARY

Submitted by Dusty on Sat, 2011-10-15 10:00

Forgive us if we brag for a moment.

The Seattle music scene has been notable since Jimi Hendrix, through Nirvana, and continuing today. There is a lot of pride for the local scene here. Artists constantly pushing the mold with no discretion of genre.

But what’s make Seattle so prominent? Is it the weather? Maybe. But it has to be more than just the rain.

REMEMBERING NICK ASHFORD

Submitted by Dusty on Tue, 2011-08-23 16:26

Nick Ashford, half of the songwriting duo Ashford & Simpson, died yesterday at 70 years old due to complications with throat cancer.

Though Ashford is gone, he has left a beautiful legacy behind with some of the greatest Motown hits ever recorded. Ashford & Simpson, while performers themselves, typically worked in the background while orchestrating some of the biggest hits for R&B/Soul’s superstars. To name a few:

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell – “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
