Narada Michael Walden Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

Wow! I’ve seen hundreds of photos, loads of videos - I’ve never seen Narada  Michael Walden in an orange bowler. When was the last time I wore orange? InSync! From the first moment to the last, what a glorious, grateful, exuberant lovefest. Narada is as passionate, fun, inviting, and accessible as his music. 

We talked about his first paper drumkit at 5, how he watched, listened, and learned from his heroes. How the soul sounds of Detroit shaped him, how it’s all soul sounds. From his first band at 11 to the Mahavishnu Orchestra, which would change his life in all ways… adding prayer. mediation, service, and Narada to his name, gifted by his guru, Sri Chinmoy, thanks to John McLaughlin, and of course, the music, following in Billy Cobham’s big footsteps, touring with Jeff Beck, then recording Wired with him, writing “material” for the album, the full circle back to Beck a decade ago and the story behind their masterpiece version of Little Wing. Ah me! How playing transitioned to producing, inspired by Quincy Jones to service other artists, and the superstar women he championed to great heights - Aretha with their Grammy Song of The Year, Freeway of Love, Whitney with their 6 number one hits including their Grammy Winning Album of the Year, Mariah, with musical knowledge to match her musical chops. We talked our friend, Allee Willis, Keith Moon, Ringo, Jaco, Carlos, Sting, Trudy, Stevie, Marvin, Cissy, his last tour with Journey, and how his devotion to his wife and children brought him home. This very morning Narada was up at 6 readying his kids for school and then driving them there. This interview was held early so that he’d be home when they got home. Quite a man. Respect.

For a taste of what Narada himself is up to musically, check out his The More I Love My Life https://bfan.link/the-more-i-love-my-life with Sting, Carlos, and Stevie, I can’t stop listening!  It seems to so sum up this man of grace. 

And while you’re at it, watch this - and tear yourself away, if you can! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9UQbf_VoQI Perfection! Jeff, Narada, and Rhonda, do Jimi proud.

This is a man as comfortable with pop, soul, funk, rock, and blues as he is with fusion. Brilliant with them all. Loving and appreciating them all, and, as his audience, I’ll gratefully follow him to any of them. I loved every second in Narada’s most excellent company. Grateful girl!

Aretha Franklin "Aretha" 新型コロナウイルス拡散防止Stay Home中は、元気になれるアレサで！アレサの中では、最も知っている曲の多いアルバムかも、オススメです！1986年10月リリース。 USオリジナル盤、日本盤タイトルは｢ジャンピン・ジャック・フラッシュ｣。"Jumpin' jack Flash"は本作収録曲で、The Rolling Stones のカヴァー、1986年当時に公開された同名映画の主題歌で、注目度をあげるためにつけたので��ょうか。 #AristaRecords レーベル ‎(AL-8442)。 ジョージ・マイケルとのデュエット曲"I Know You Were Waiting (For Me)"邦題｢愛のおとずれ｣を収録、最優秀R&Bパフォーマンス賞(デュオまたはグループ)を受賞、シングル・カットされて全米・全英1位。 本作、8つものスタジオで録音されている。・Tarpan Studios a recording studio in San Rafael, California ・Record Plant Studios in Sausalito, California ・Studio D in Sausalito, California ・The Automat studios, San Francisco, California ・Hitsville, Los Angeles, California ・Sigma Sound Studios, New York City ・Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village, New York City ・United Sound Systems in Detroit, Michigan 先に紹介した前作"Who's Zoomin' Who"邦題｢フリーウェイ・オブ・ラヴ｣(1985年)に引き続きナラダ・マイケル・ウォルデン(1987年ホイットニー・ヒューストン"Whitney"で最優秀プロデューサー賞、1993年映画｢The Bodyguard｣のサウンドトラックで最優秀サウンドトラック賞受賞、ブラックミュージック界の著名プロデューサー)がプロデュース。"Jumpin' jack Flash"のみキース・リチャーズがプロデュース。 そして、アンディ・ウォーホルのジャケット・デザインとインナー・スリーブのイラストレーション！本作のジャケットは｢Complex｣が2013年に選出した｢アンディ・ウォーホルによってデザインされたアルバム・カヴァー10｣の一つに選出。 グラミー賞では本作が最優秀女性R&Bボーカル・パフォーマンス賞を受賞。前作"Who's Zoomin' Who"以上にロックテイストが強まり、おそらくアレサ史上最もロック度が高いアルバムとの評。 #ArethaFranklin #NaradaMichaelWalden #KeithRichards #GeorgeMichael #WalterAfanasieff #WhitneyHouston #LarryGraham #AndyWarhol 表面がオススメ！ 1-2."I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (with George Michael)" 3rdシングル、R&B5位POP1位、UKでも1位。邦題｢愛のおとずれ｣、アレサにとって初の白人シンガーとの公式デュエット。当時のジョージは1位連発、ヒットは必然？ 1-3."Do You Still Remember" Walter Afanasieff 曲参加。ストリングスも散られて、アリスタ期初期の味わいにも近い上品なバラード。耳にしたことあるはず、盤イチ！最高です！ 1-4."Jumpin' Jack Flash (ft.

Today, LIVE at 1 pm PT! It was almost over a decade ago when I first reached out to multi-Grammy winner (Producer, Album, and Song of the Year) and Emmy winner Narada Michael Walden, who, at the time, was playing drums with Sting. Good things come to those who wait, albeit no matter how impatiently.  

Narada has produced hits for Aretha, including Freeway of Love, Steve Winwood, Ray Charles, Wynonna Judd, Whitney Houston, George Michael, Mariah Carey, Barbara Streisand, Lionel Ritchie, Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones, Jeff Beck and The Temptations! He was an integral part of introducing Whitney Houston (producing 6 of her 7 number-one hits, which broke Michael Jackson’s record) and Mariah Carey to millions of fans worldwide, producing and writing their breakthrough hits that first brought these superstars to the spotlight. Billboard Magazine honored him as one of the Top Ten Producers of all time. Whew! 

Beginning as a drummer, first with the Mahavishnu Orchestra (following Bill Cobham at 21 years old), Narada also toured with Jeff Beck, Tommy Bolin, and Weather Report. With eleven solo recordings, Narada’s music includes soundtrack work on such films as The Bodyguard, Free Willy, Beverly Hills Cops II, 9 ½ Weeks, and Stuart Little to the EMMY-winning “One Moment In Time,”  the theme to the 1988 Olympic Games.

The list goes on, but the artistry of Narada is about more than chart positions and record sales. There’s a powerful spiritual component at the heart of everything he undertakes, an attuned and intuitive approach with a deep appreciation for music’s transforming power. Simply put, the artistry of Narada Michael Walden gets to the heart of the matter, about matters of the heart. 

It’s a commitment that reaches into the philanthropic arena as well, where Narada consistently lends his time and talent to causes ranging from the Cancer Society to funding music programs in the nation’s schools through his own foundation. For over 7 years running he has served as Music Director for the Rainforest Foundation Concert at Carnegie Hall, the high-profile conversancy benefit spearheaded by Sting and Trudie Styler that has featured the likes of  Elton John, Billy Joel, Ravi Shankar, James Taylor, Brian Wilson, Bruce Springsteen, Lada Gaga, Bruno Mars and, of course, Sting himself.

His Narada Michael Walden Foundation delivers its services through a network of non-profit organizations with proven records of success in youth education and community empowerment. The Foundation also endows scholarships for aspiring musicians and enables the stars of tomorrow by offering emerging young artists from around the world access to recording facilities, coaching and production support.

In 2013, Narada established his own Independent Label, Tarpan Records, and released 2 new solo projects, Thunder 2013 and Rising Sun.   In Addition to his own projects, Narada is actively signing and releasing up-and-coming international artists. 

A devoted family man, Narada is an artist who walks his talk. We’re meeting at this earlier time as he prioritizes being home with his children after school. Respect. I can’t wait to share his history and his heart.

Aretha Franklin "Who's Zoomin' Who?" 約23年在籍したAristaレーベル最大のヒット作！アレサ初のプラチナ・レコード！R＆Bヴォーカル・パフォーマンスで グラミー賞を受賞！ 1985年8月26日、 RIAAによってGoldが認定され、1985年12月10日にPlatinumに(100万部以上が配布)。 1984年10月,1985年5月録音、1985年7月9日リリース。アレサのアルバムは、録音日不明が多いですよね。 Arista ‎– 207 202, Arista ‎– 207 202-620 録音スタジオ ・Automatt, San Francisco, CA ・Plant, Sausalito, CA ・Power Station ・Right Track, NY, NY ・United Sound, Detroit, MI Producer - #NaradaMichaelWalden For Perfection Light Productions (Tracks 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8), #ArethaFranklin (Tracks 3, 9), #DaveStewart (Track 5) Arista 5作目、合計33番目のスタジオアルバム、R&B3位・POP13位を記録。3,4作目でLuther Vandross とタッグを組み復活、本作で完全再ブレイク。 本作からのシングルヒット5曲は、ポップ過ぎてソウルファンからは批判を浴びたそうですが、商業的ヒットにこだわった作品で、良くも悪くもアレサを語る上では切り離せない作品の一つだそうです。 "Freeway of Love "のフォローアップシングルは、R&Bチャートで2位、Billboard's Hot 100で7位、Billboardのアダルトコンテンポラリーチャートでトップ10にフランクリンをカムバックさせたと。 また、このアルバムで彼女は音楽ビデオのスターとしても確立。"Freeway of Love"、"Sisters"、"Another Night"はMTVで大人気に。 Side 1-1. "Freeway Of Love" (ft. Clarence Clemons on Sax) 1stシングル、R&B1位・POP3位・Dance1位を記録。Narada Michael Walden の手腕を持って、ポップフィールドでの大成功を導く。 1-2. "Another Night" 4thシングル、R&B9位・POP22位・Dance4位を記録。浮気した彼をPVで演じるのは、その後婚約するアレサの新しい旦那さんウィリー・ウィルカーソン。 1-3. "Sweet Bitter Love" 2ndシングルB面。初吹き込みはコロンビア期1965年、数年前の未発表曲集でも発掘され、アトランティック期でもデモとして録音されてたことが判明したVan McCoy 作。再びアリスタでも再演、アレサにとっては特に思い入れの強いバラード。前年にアレサの父C.L.Franklin が亡くなったこともあり、アレサのこの曲にぶつける力強さは半端なく泣ける。 1-4. "Who's Zoomin Who" 2ndシングル、R&B2位・POP7位・Dance1位を記録。緩やかなポップで、アレサとナラダが共作した作品と捉えるとレア。 Side 2-1. "Sisters Are Doing It" (For Themselves) (with The Eurythmics) 3rdシングル、R&B66位・POP22位・Dance10位を記録。2011年のグラミー賞でアレサ・トリビュートコーナーが設けられ、この曲がラストに歌われてたそう。 2-2. "Until You Say You Love Me" 1stシングルB面。ゆったり1980年初期を思い出すような好感度高い丁寧なバラード、アレサの隠れた名曲。 2-3. "Aint Nobody Ever Loved You" 5thシングル、R&B30位・Dance9位を記録。おどけたハイパーポップ、サンバ調。 2-4. "Push" (ft. Peter Wold & Carlos Santana) 女性初のロックの殿堂受賞に弾みをつける攻撃的なサウンド、ピーターのヴォーカルなど全く及ばないアレサのドスこそが最高に響く。 2-5. "Integrity" プロモシングル、アレサ・ファンの間では人気、爽快なミディアムサウンドで口当たりスムースなアレサ自作曲。 #soulmusic #fuzey #soulsinger #queenofsoul #vinyl #vinylcollection #soulrecords #recordcollection #arethafranklintribute #gospel  #アレサフランクリン #ソウルミュージック #ゴスペル #レコード ※作品を知り、アレサの素晴らしさを伝えたい。様々なソースをアレンジ、先輩諸氏に感謝。 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bHUtuJ6Y3/?igshid=1offz5k5k3n7y
