    Story by: Gail Nobles Cover by: Gail Nobles Keyboardist: Gail Nobles Voice.actor: Gail Nobles Hello. I’m Gail Nobles. Welcome to Multi-Tunes. Today’s topic is Durell Coleman. In 1985, Durell Coleman released a memorable single titled "Somebody Took My Love," which quickly captured the attention of music lovers. The song reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming his most notable hit. The accompanying music video added to the song's charm with a heartfelt story. It follows Durell, who falls deeply in love with a waitress. However, she leaves her job to pursue a career in modeling, leaving Durell feeling lonely and abandoned. The video keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, wondering if they will reunite as it unfolds, culminating in a touching happy ending when she returns to him. Fans couldn’t help but connect with the emotional message of the song. The catchy chorus was so engaging that it often made listeners sing along: “Love, love / Somebody took my love, love / How can this be? / She said, 'Always be there for me.'” The soulful vocals and Richard Marx's  writing made "Somebody Took My Love" a staple on R&B charts, showcasing Durell's deep emotional range. It’s a song that many still enjoy today, reminding them of the powerful feelings of love and longing. Tunes That Talk

    Chuckii Booker - Turned Away 10:29:25 8.51 PM

    Photo: Spotify Promo Card Intro by:  Gail Nobles Story by: Gail Nobles Hey there, music lovers! Let’s talk about a jam that really turned some heads back in the day—“Turned Away” by Chuckii Booker. This was 1989, and it was Chuckii's debut single that shot right to the top of the Billboard R&B chart, locking in the number one spot for a whole week! You see, Chuckii, he's got that smooth voice that just pulls you right in. It was just something about his voice echoing through music and singing the words “Turned Away From Love”. You can hear him belt out the heartfelt words “Turned Away From Love” and you feel every bit of that emotion. When he sings, it’s like you’re right there with him, feeling the highs and lows of love. But Chuckii's not just a singer; he's a real musical powerhouse! He plays a bunch of instruments, writes songs, and even produces tracks. He’s from Los Angeles, and he rolled onto the scene in the late '80s, thanks to his godfather, the legendary Barry White, who signed him to his production company back in '84. Talk about starting off on the right foot! Before going solo, Chuckii was part of a band called Tease, where he rocked the keyboards for three years. So, when he finally dropped “Turned Away,” it was like a big reveal of all his hard work. And while it made waves on the R&B charts, even making it to number forty-two on the Hot 100, it’s that soulful vibe and richness in his voice that we remember the most. You’re listening to Multi-Tunes. I’m your host, Gail Nobles. Keep those tunes playing, and let’s celebrate the sounds of Chuckii Booker! Tunes That Talk

    Story by: Gail Nobles Intro by: Gail Nobles Photo: Wikipedia Public Domain Today we’re going to talk about the sensational duo Air Supply and their timeless hit, "Even the Nights Are Better!" Released in 1982 as part of their iconic album *Now and Forever*, this track is the embodiment of soft rock romance! Oh, you can just feel the air in the room shift when that melody kicks in! Who among us hasn’t felt that heartache? You know, the kind that leaves you questioning everything, wondering where love has gone? Well, let me tell you,that’s where Air Supply comes in—like a gentle sunrise after a long, lonely night! The song captures those deep emotions with lines that connects with anyone who’s ever been lost in the labyrinth of love. "I was the lonely one, wondering what went wrong..." Doesn’t that take you back? We’ve all been there, but then comes that moment of magic when someone special walks into your life, and suddenly—boom!—your nights just got a whole lot better! What I love about “Even the Nights Are Better” is that it’s an anthem of hope! It tells us that even when the days can be tough, having that special someone by your side can illuminate even the darkest nights. Just listen to that soaring chorus! “Even the nights are better, now that we’re here together!” Who can resist belting that out at the top of their lungs? This track was a chart-busting phenomenon, spending a glorious four weeks at the top of the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, and reaching a peak position of No. 5 on the Hot 100. That's right, folks—Air Supply was riding high with their seventh consecutive top five hit! A record for the ages! So, as you tune into YouTube tonight or any night, let “Even the Nights Are Better” sweep you off your feet! It’s a reminder that in the realm of love, the lows only make the highs feel that much sweeter. You’re listening to Multi-Tunes. I am your host, Gail Nobles Tunes That Talk

It’s a heartwarming song that taps into love and loss. Our lyrical hero is reaching out to a friend who’s been hurt in the game of love. With its smooth rhythm and gentle disco vibes, it assures us that though love might have slipped through our fingers this time, there’s always a sparkle of hope waiting just around the corner. "Better Love Next Time" soared to No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, occupying the scene for a solid 19 weeks! And it didn’t stop there. It climbed to the No. 3 spot on the Adult Contemporary chart! Talk about a chart topper! Across the pond, it charmed the hearts of listeners in the UK, hitting No. 8, and it made a splash in New Zealand too—landing at No. 7. The power of love and lightness of the beat brought it to the top of the charts, making it the 49th biggest American hit of 1980—a true song with catchy hooks and relatable lyrics! I’m Gail Nobles.
