    Today we're turning up the volume on a band that's all about the magic of the moment. I'm talking about none other than the legendary Genesis. You might know them best by their hit That's All. It is a group composition and appears as the second track on the 1983 album Genesis. It was the album’s second single after Mama.

    The sngle reach number six in early 1984 making it their first billboard hot 100 top 10 hit. As the bands first break into the billboard hot 100 top 10, the song is included in rock song index: The 7500 most important songs for the rock 'n' roll era.

    Now Genesis ain't just your average rock band. There're a musical journey through time starting way back in the late 60s. These guys were blasting out progressive rock vibes taking listeners on a wild lyrical ride. We're talking symphonic masterpieces and storytelling that will make your heart sing and your mind dance.

    With members like Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, they have crafted a sound that's both intricate and assessable. Whether you're grooving to Invisible Touch or just chilling with Land of Confusion, each track is a celebration of creativity and passion.

    So crank up the volume and dive into the world of Genesis. The band music inspires listeners and remind listeners that when it comes to heartbreak and hope, sometimes all you need to say is that's all.

    T.S. Monk. (Thelonious Sphere Monk the third) is a jazz drummer, composer, and bandleader. He is the sun of Jazz pianist Thelonias Monk.

    By the dawning of the 1980s, he had formed his eponymous band, which featured him on drums and occasional lead vocals. The group's début album, 1980's House of Music, featured several hits that placed on the Billboard R&B chart, including "Bon Bon Vie (Gimme the Good Life)", which featured Monk on lead vocals, and "Candidate for Love". The tracks peaked at No. 63 and No. 58 respectively, in the UK Singles Chart. The band went on to release two more albums throughout the early 1980s, though singles released from these albums did not fare as well as those on the début. The band broke up shortly thereafter.

    By the 1990s, Monk was ready to begin his solo career, in which he has taken a decidedly more jazz-oriented direction.

    Some people say Phyllis Hyman died not knowing how much she was loved. It is said she fought hard to overcome her demons. I don't think Phyllis Hyman was just fighting her demons if she had any demons at all. I think she was fighting demons coming from elsewhere. When the music business is hard, sometimes you can't be yourself. You can't show the world the self you want the world to see.

    I think it's time that we start recognizing Phyllis Hyman more. She was trying to tell us things that were very important. If you have heard and seen Phyllis Hyman speak, you know that she had very good knowledge about things.

    Hyman is best known for her music during the late 1970s through the early 1990s. Some of her most notable songs were "You Know How to Love Me" (1979), "Living All Alone" (1986) and "Don't Wanna Change the World" (1991).

    Phyllis Harmon was a very talented singer. She suffered from bipolar disorder and depression for years. She died by suicide. So many talented people in the music business died like that. It's always something with the mental health or they get killed.

    Phyllis Hyman is a singer we want to remember; we need to remember. She had great music like her fourth album “You Know How to Love Me” and her single with the same name. Phyllis was a great soul singer and her fourth album was released in 1979. It was her most successful album, but she made other albums too.
