4:00 PM ❼ ABC American Bandstand
Sheila E. – Sheila E


Like @Turbo I had trouble finding a performance video but I have an interview clip to include. This album came out a couple of years after the fact, and I do have the two which precede it, but I hadn't spun this one yet so it got the play for today.

4:00 PM ❾ WGN Soul Train
Mavis Staples – Time Waits For No One


A big heck yes to @Matt M for also spinning some Mavis for this - she was an obvious and immediate choice for me for this one, but I wanted to keep it Paisley Park on both channels today so I'll play this album from 20 years later, and drop in a trip through the way back machine with this clip of The Staple Singers' Soul Train performance of a Talking Heads song:

Easy one for me. A dude from Ohio living on my floor in the dorm turns me on to a hyper-regional band and 40 years later I'm regularly talking with the founder. Crazy world...
