GVM Classic: Good Vinyl Mornings Special Edition |Top 15 Instrumental Hits | 1970's

Before autotune. Before hooks were crafted by committees. There was sound—raw, undiluted, and electric. The 1970s birthed a golden age where instrumentation wasn’t just the backdrop—it was the story. And for this special edition of Good Vinyl Mornings, PL Sweets spins deeper than the grooves on the record. He’s pulling the needle back to a time when rhythm and melody didn’t need lyrics to speak straight to the soul. These 15 instrumental masterpieces weren’t just tracks—they were movements. They carried the weight of culture, the swagger of the streets, the elegance of orchestras, and the pulse of protest, party, and personal reflection. Whether you were stepping out, rolling slow, or simply vibing in your living room, these records told your story without saying a word. And who better to guide this journey than PL Sweets himself? A crate digger and cultural translator, he’s sharing his Top 15 picks—tracks that shaped his ears, his outlook, and his love for music that breathes on its own. From the hypnotic “Chameleon” by Herbie Hancock—a track that broke jazz free from its purist chains and introduced the world to funk’s experimental edge—to the forever-floaty “Brazilian Rhyme” by Earth, Wind & Fire, which proves you don’t need three minutes to change a mood—just the right 45 seconds. You’ll drift in the hazy heat of “Summer Madness”, and ride the cinematic grandeur of “Theme from Shaft”, where Isaac Hayes made every strut down the block feel like a scene from your own Blaxploitation film. From the sultry sax work of Grover Washington Jr., to the orchestral elegance of Love Unlimited Orchestra, every track in this setlist is a reminder that the most powerful messages sometimes have no words at all. These aren’t just songs—they're sonic monuments. They’re what the '70s felt like, sounded like, and moved like. And they’re the blueprint for every producer, beatmaker, and DJ who’s sampled them since. These grooves are the godparents of hip-hop, the cousins of soul, and the unsung heroes of jazz radio. So, tune in. Drop the needle. And let PL Sweets take you back to the art of letting the music speak for itself.

Don’t Miss the Love Train: Embracing Life’s Quiet Moments | featuring The O'jays

When life slows down, it’s easy to mistake the stillness for boredom. But the truth is, peace and boredom aren’t the same thing. In this soulful episode of Good Vinyl Mornings, host Prentiss "PL Sweets" Thompson invites you to hop on board The O’Jays’ "Love Train" for a journey through the quiet times — those moments when life feels still, yet full of meaning. With its infectious groove, jubilant horns, and heartfelt call for unity, "Love Train" isn’t just a song — it’s a reminder of how love can carry us through. The track's joyful rhythm mirrors the highs and lows of life, reminding us that even when the noise fades, love remains the driving force. PL explores why we often seek distractions instead of embracing peace and why silence makes some of us uncomfortable. Just like the steady, feel-good pulse of The O’Jays’ classic, peace has its own rhythm—a space for reflection, growth, and appreciation. This episode explores: How to tell the difference between boredom and genuine peaceWhy moments of stillness are opportunities for growthHow love — for yourself, your community, and your purpose — keeps you moving forwardThe legacy of "Love Train" as a symbol of togetherness and resilienceLife’s not always about the rush. Sometimes, it’s about riding the rhythm of peace and letting love lead the way. So, sit back, press play, and take this soulful ride on the Love Train. 🎶🚂❤️ SONG OF THE DAY THE OJAY'S | LOVE TRAIN SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/plsweets/ https://www.instagram.com/repurposenetwork/ https://www.instagram.comgoodvinylmornings/ Subscribe on Apple podcast Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on iHeartRadio
