Sherry will also be talking with Carol Glen and Lesley Sackey about women in touch sports. Make sure you’re tuned into BANG 103.6FM

About Shirley Jones

In 1979 The Jones Girls “You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else” showed Gamble and Huff still had the magic touch. The classic went top ten on Billboards’ R&B and Disco Charts. However, lead singer Shirley Jones and sisters Brenda and Valorie were not new to the game. Gospel singer Mary Frazier Jones groomed her daughters’ unique harmonies when they were babies in their hometown Detroit. By the time Shirley and her sisters signed with Philadelphia International Records, they were teenage veterans.
The Jones Girls traveled the world for several years as fellow Detroiter Diana Ross’ back up singers. Ms. Ross even let the girls shine with their own spot where they sang “If I Ever Lose This Heaven”. Diana Ross told Gamble and Huff The Jones Girls were too good to be anybody’s back-up singers forever. Those Philly years provided Shirley and her sisters with a string of hits. They include “Who Can I Run To”, “I Just Love The Man”, “Dance Turned Into A Romance” and their Grammy-Nominated classic “Nights Over Egypt”. After a brief unsuccessful stay at RCA Records , The Jones Girls decided to take a hiatus. Brenda got married and Valorie entered college. But Shirley still wanted to sing. She returned to Philadelphia International Records in 1985 as a solo artist.
Shirley’s 1986 Debut album “Always In The Mood” proved she could handle the spotlight alone. Her 1986 classic “Do You Get Enough Love” stayed number one on Billboards R&B Chart for Three weeks!!! “Do You Get Enough Love” proved to be prophetic. Shirley married and started a new career raising her son Cameron. He is now 18 and over 6’6” tall. He is a freshman in college on a basketball scholarship. Shirley recently performed in Pontiac, Michigan with Glenn Jones and in Chicago with Jean Carne, Angela Winbush and Cherrelle for a terrific “Ladies Night Out” Concert which is available on DVD.

SCYVA LIKE SCUBA DIVER

Behold… the NEW DJ everyone’s been talking about. He’s the one that plays the Dub step and the Grime on Unfinished Business.

Scyva started out as many DJ’s do… in his bedroom, before advancing on to pirate radio where he sharpened his skills as a potential mainstream radio DJ. After years of playing on pirate radio and in various warm spots around the capital, Scyva wished or rather needed to be in the mainstream market and replace the warm spots with nothing but the HOT SPOTS.

Introduced to KING Speks the VAIN, Scyva joined Too Tense and debuted on BANG 103.6fm. After numerous Stella Artois performances during the Grimed out Friday shows, he was knighted by KING Speks the VAIN and became known as “Scyva like Scuba Diver or Scyva LSD” because he’s deep in his music, hits the spot like a drug and now features regularly on the Power Hour CD’s & Downloads.

After a long time away from the spotlight, Inspekta is back with a BANG boom and a new look crew…..

Unfinished Business “The Original” one of the longest running shows on BANG 103.6FM is about to take off and this time, there’s no come daaaan. North Weezies favourite Goodfella heads up a Stella Artois cast of stars in the making and now has 2… YES 2 shows on the BIG BADDY BANG BANG

The first show on Bashment Monday nights 12-2 am is hosted by Ghetto superstar DJ Jnr Prince. That’s two hours of dancehall… two hours of pure vibes.

The second show on the Grimed out Friday nights 12-2 am is hosted by Tidds and Mixed back to back by Jnr Prince and DJ Scyva… like scuba diver. This show is the infamous… as it features Highway 4-5 (45 minutes of madness) and Tio’s weekly workout (Tio just lets his body do what ever it wants, to the music… AND ON CAMERA… it ain’t dancing, it’s a workout baby).

With a new look website, new links and new music, it’s clear to see that Speks has put the work in and is now eager to reap the fruits. TTM&P have released 2 mix tapes namely Highway 4-5 volumes 1& 2 with volume 3 in production and tipped to be the BANG.
