Undig Yourself

This is one of James Brown's old "flames". She dropped a few hits that made quite a buzz in both the 60s Soul Era, as well as the hip hop era. We dug her a while back and had to bring her back up to the speaker for your listening pleasure. Now check out Marva making us Unwind! Shout out to Ed Lover for dancing and DJ Kool for Clearing His Throat to this one...

Christmas Digging - Marvin


Bringing in the Holiday Spirit, DCD wouldn't feel complete without presenting a Christmas song or two. This one is by one of the best ever, Marvin Gaye, who always took a different approach in his songs. Out of all angles, he made this Christmas song about being a prisoner of war in Vietnam, and how he misses seeing snowflakes and Santa Claus. Who does that?? A GENIUS, that's who! This is a bonifide classic and should be played on the radio more often...

DCD brings in the Christmas cheer and the Holiday funk with this James Brown tune. I won't listen to anything else this season.

Digging For Some Understanding


When you define SOUL, you can't go any further than this performance. Louisville, KY's own New Birth came out the frame with this jam from the short-lived PBS Show "SOUL!" that aired back in the early 70s.
