Flashback Friday: Terence Trent D’Arby and Issac Hayes

It’s the first Flashback Friday of the Soul In Stereo era!

The name may have changed but the hits remain the same. Let’s put some soul in your Friday morning.

Diane Hawkins takes a trip to the “Wishing Well.”

Terence Trent D’Arby, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby (1987)

Diane said: “Terence Trent Howard, who changed his name to Terence Trent D’Arby, now goes by Sananda Francesco Maitreya.  Well, I bet his mama calls him Terence, so I’m gonna to call him Terence. Coincidentally, Terence’s  1987  hit ‘Sign Your Name’ helped him to make a name for himself on the R&B and pop charts.  The sensuous ‘Sign Your Name’  might be 25 years old, but it has a timeless sound.”

Hunter Murphy is joined by an original soul brotha. I can dig it.

Issac Hayes, Shaft (1971)

Hunter said: Issac Hayes “changed the way I listened to sound…. What an artist. I learned of him through the movie ‘Shaft.’ As soon as those women in the theme song said ‘shut your mouth’ and Hayes said ‘but I’m talking ’bout Shaft’ and they said ‘and we can dig it,’ Well, I walked away a changed being. ‘He’s a complicated man and no one understands him but his woman…’ Just too good.”
