In this Classic GVM episode of Good Vinyl Mornings, we confront a bold and reflective question: How big is too big? Just because ambition drives us upward doesn’t mean everything about success is safe for our soul. When unchecked, growth can eclipse our values, distort our purpose, or even hollow out the original flame that fueled our journey.We frame this dilemma through the lens of The Notorious B.I.G.’s seminal single, “Juicy.” With its iconic sample from Mtume’s “Juicy Fruit,” this

In today’s Good Vinyl Mornings, we confront the question: Do you keep walking around your mountain—or do you finally begin the climb? Because the truth is, every step away from the summit doesn’t shrink the challenge…it only makes the path deeper, the mountain higher, and your opportunity for growth more limited. Stevie Wonder captures that eternal chase in “As”, a seven‑minute soul-jazz prayer that became a single in 1977 and reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 Emerging from his

2025/07/09

This morning on Good Vinyl Mornings, we confront one of the most misunderstood gifts in life: rejection. When something—or someone—turns you away, it can feel personal. Final. Defeating. But what if rejection is actually divine redirection? A push not backward, but onto the good foot. Enter James Brown’s funk anthem “Get on the Good Foot.” Released in 1972, this explosive track was more than a dance cue—it was a cultural command. Brown used music as a weapon, as therapy, and as motivation

Inspired by “Boogie Oogie Oogie”—the breakout 1978 hit from A Taste of Honey—this episode is about more than dancing. It’s about living in alignment with your own beat, even when the world tries to rush, remix, or mute you. A Taste of Honey made history with this track.
