The Quiet Storm Created Fertile Ground For A Sensual Mind
The Quiet Storm Created Fertile Ground For A Sensual Mind That deep voice with just the right blend of depth, rasp, and<b> silk </font></b>got my attention every time I heard him speak of heart connection, close slow dancing, love, heart ache, and listening pleasure as I enjoyed The Quiet Storm radio broadcast. Each song's seduction of my ears lead to sensual images in my mind as I danced solo across the hardwood floor of my room. The Quiet Storm radio show helped to create fertile ground for this sensual mind and for countless others, I have no doubt. In the 1970's, Melvin Lindsey established The Quiet Storm radio format in Washington, D.C., using the soft, sexy, mellow R&B and soul music when stories were told in songs that lasted upwards of five minutes. Lindsey named the format for Smokey Robinson's sexy, get close song, Quiet Storm. This format helped us to unwind with sensual musical pleasures as the nightly radio show began around 7:30pm and lasted until midnight. It seemed so easy to wash away the day's stress back then! Between The Quiet Storm radio show and the Soul Train music and dance show every Saturday morning, a generation was schooled on music with depth and meaning, in my opinion. This is the kind of music that made one believe the words being sung. Perhaps among the saddest of days in the lives of fellow Quiet Storm listeners was learning that Melvin Lindsey died of AIDS in 1992. He helped us learn to appreciate love songs, moody music, and song stylists who could make singing the phone book a near spiritual experience for listeners. Who else remembers The Quiet Storm radio broadcast (now The Original Quiet Storm) and what are among your favorite *of age* memories connected to the show?

I remember watching Soul Train on Saturday morning.........have to Google the Quiet Storm.......but the music of Barry White, Marvin Gaye....Smokey Robinson....all lyrics and rhythms to fuck by ~~ I so enjoyed Soul Train *and* American Bandstand but Soul Train had the sexy music happening, that's for sure. I would have to say that Rock was/is music for f*cking and that Soul music was/is for making luvvv ! See the next blog post for Sexual Education Via Music Pt 1. You're invited to CorPlay anytime.
