    Music intro by: Gail Nobles

    Hello I'm Gail Nobles and you’re listening to NEEDLE HOUSE RECORDINGS, music and songs from peoples lives. We all have ups and downs trying to make things work out which is what I've been going through and what others have been going through.

    Today I'm going to talk about a song titled I'm in a Different World written and produced by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Edward Holland Jr. "I'm in a Different World" is the final single that Holland–Dozier–Holland produced for the Four Tops.

    Lead vocal by: Levi Stubbs

    Background vocals by: Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Lawrence Payton and Renaldo "Obie" Benson

    Additional background vocals by: The Andantes (An American female session group for Motown).

    Instrumentation by: The Funk Brothers

    And of course, you know the record label: Motown.

    The single was released in 1968. "I'm in a Different World" peaked at number 51 on the US pop chart and number 27 on the UK chart. No. 33 on the US Billboard Best selling R& B singles chart.

    If you listen to the song I'm in a Different World and read the lyrics, you might understand that you're in a different world too. The lyrics say: When the love light shines upon my face
    I'm in a different world …”

    That’s the kind of world that we want to be in. The world that sweet and true.

    I am Gail Nobles, and you listening to Needle House Recordings.

    I'm so glad that Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five arrived when they did. If it were not for them, I wouldn't know what real rap music is today.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Today’s topic is Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

    Singing: Grandmaster Flash Grandmaster Flash

    Rapping: That rapper over there, I don't know his name Rap music today just ain't the same But I know the Flash can make a change With the Furious Five and all the gang.

    Singing 2x: Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five I'm so glad they arrived.

    Host: You're listening to a Needle House Recording Commentary Music Podcast.

    Grandmaster Flash and the Furios Five were a hip hop group formed in the South Bronx of New York City in 1978. The group’s members were Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Kidd Creole, Keef Cowboy, Scorpio, and Rahiem.

    I love the hip hop group because they know how to manipulate sounds and create new music using sound effects and beats with turntables and mixers. They have the scratch sounds. I love to hear their breakbeats where they use sample recordings from funk & R&B in their music. Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five knows how to rap about the street life without misleading the audience to violence. They know how to move the crowd to dance and have a good time when they rhyme.

    When I was growing up, the older folks would get on their young family members about rapping. They didn’t like it. They said it was all just noise.

    But I learned something about music listening to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. I learned how to stand up and make a speech with confidence. Rap music had all that in there.

    But a new generation came along in rap putting down women, and there was explicit lyrics and violence. Rap was a good thing, and it doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
    Thank you Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five for making rap a good thing. Thank you for all the good times in rap music.

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. Tune in again next time. ..

    Better Days Are Coming (Singing)
    We’re waiting for better days, and a great future. We’re waiting for the trumpet to Sound. That will be the day when we’ll all be free. No more fighting for liberty. That will be the day when the enemy will be destroyed. All the saints of God will be on one accord. All the evil in the world will have to flee. And we’ll have peace in the land for eternity.
