Isaac Hayes

.The silky smooth soul legend checked himself into an undisclosed Memphis hospital on Tuesday to be treated for exhaustion, according to published reports.

No immediate word on the 63-year-old Hayes' condition. His agent could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

However, Hayes' longtime songwriting partner, David Porter, told Memphis' Commercial Appeal newspaper: "He's just overworked and had been in Atlantic City performing, the D.C. area performing and in Tunica [Mississippi] a couple of nights ago. He was just overworked."

But, Porter added, "He's doing much better."

“The Luther Vandross Memorial Special” in de SoulShow

Aankomende zaterdag 9 juli is er een Luther Vandross special in de Soulshow op Radio Veronica. Ferry Maat laat je tussen 18:00 en 20:00 uur nummers horen uit het hele oeuvre van deze karakteristieke soulzanger/ songwriter/ producer die vorige week vrijdag op 54 jarige leeftijd overleed.

De in New York City geboren Luther Ronzoni Vandross verkocht wereldwijd meer dan 30 miljoen platen, won maar liefst 8 Grammy Awards en kreeg talloze onderscheidingen zoals de Soul Train- en American Music Award. Zijn carrière startte in 1972 toen hij een liedje schreef voor de Broadway musical ‘The Wizzard of Oz’; dat was het nummer ‘Everybody Rejoice’ later omgedoopt tot ‘A Brandnew Day’ en natuurlijk beroemd geworden in de uitvoering van onder anderen Diana Ross en Michael Jackson. Zijn doorbraak als zanger beleefde hij vreemd genoeg in het achtergrondkoortje van David Bowie. Al snel werd hij een veelgevraagd achtergrondzanger en arrangeur en werkte hij voor toppers als Bette Midler en Barbra Streisand. Luther verdiende verder zijn geld met het zingen van commercials en hij was één van de meest gevraagde jinglezangers van die tijd. Zijn debuut solo-album ‘Never Too Much’ bereikte in 1981 onmiddellijk de top van de R&B charts en verkocht meer dan één miljoen exemplaren. Luther schreef en produceerde platen voor talloze artiesten waaronder zijn drie grootste jeugdidolen: Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick en Aretha Franklin. Met Aretha maakte hij zelfs twee albums.

Ferry Maat is met zijn radioprogramma 'Soulshow' iedere zaterdag van 18:00 - 20.00 te beluisteren bij Radio Veronica. Radio Veronica is met de beste 80's & 90's hits in heel Nederland via de ether en kabel te ontvangen.

Radio Veronica is onderdeel van de Sky Radio Group.

Gerlad Levert

Gerald Levert, the son of  O' Jays Eddie Levert, is no longer here. He passed away on 10th of november at age of 40 due to a heart attack. 

Gerald started with the group Levert back in 1985 where he recorded the album 'I Get Hot' and followed by Bloodline in 1986. Levert consist of the trio Gerald Levert, brother Sean Levert and Marc Gordon. The Big Throwdown, and Just Coolin', released in 1987 and 1988, respectively, both received gold certification. Beginning in the 1990s, Gerald began dividing his time between LeVert, and his solo career, but the band released three more albums.

During his solo career Gerald recorded nine albums, such as Private Line, Groove on, Father & Son with his father Eddie, Gerald's World and Gerald's last album Do I Speak For The World. Gerald also participated in LSG the project with Johnny Gill and Keith Sweat in 1997 and 2003.

He also produced several tracks for artists like Miki Howard, James Ingram, Geoff McBrideKeith Washington and others.

In the eighties and ninetees he was, for me, one of the biggest musical creaters and inspirators. My heart and Condolences go out to the Levert Family.

Rest In Peace Gerald.
