Sending condolences to The Contours on the loss of Gary Grier, who had been with the group over 30 years. Only met him once but I remember he had me laughing.

Here's a video (from my backstage angle) of the guys performing "Do You Love Me?" in 2022 at Harmony Hall in Fort Washington, MD (outside of Washington, DC)

Gary is second from the left in this view.

- Last week before subbing on "The Groove Line", I told big brother DJ Ali of "The Weekly" that he looked like a secret agent with all black on. We had a good laugh about it.

Regardless of attire, one thing is for sure - Ali is gonna jam to the music...and that's what it's all about. 😁 🎶

Rockin' my new Etta James T-shirt in studio last night. Since I play her song "In the Basement" ft. Sugar Pie DeSanto every show, it was only fitting that I wear this shirt while on the air. 🎶 Thanks to Dianne Be - host of "A Little Me Time" - for the picture.

I'm also grateful for another gift package from my loyal listener, Shoshana. Thanks again for your generosity!

If you missed last night's MOTOWN PARTY episode, it's available until 1/5/25 via this link:
