Bonus Beats Thursday Remake Retake

Today’s “Bonus Beats Thursday-Remake Retake” is from two Howard University classmates, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway and their 1972 #1 certified gold release “Where Is The Love”.

Welcome back to another Thursday afternoon edition of the “Bonus Beats Thursday Remake Retake”. Today we slow it down with group of guys and girls from Louisville, Kentucky. In fact, the song was never released as a single but was a very popular song of the “Die Hard” fans of Midnight Star.

In 1978 a young lady by the name of Yvette Marie Stevens (a.k.a. Chaka Khan) released the song “I’m Every Woman” that went all the way to number #1 on Billboards R&B Chart and stayed there for 3 straight weeks.

A bunch of guys from Harvey, Illinois by the name of The Dells released a song back in 1971 called The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind). The single soared on the R&B charts and became a top 10 hit for the group.

Today is “Bonus Beats Thursday” and not only do we bring you your favorite artist back to back, we also give you two straight hours of the “Throwback at Noon”. The “Throwback at Noon-Bonus Hour” at 1 opens up with the “Remake Retake” where we play the remake of a song followed by the original; today’s song is “Wishing On A Star” by Rose Royce and remade by Will Downing.
