Jon Baker, founder of Gee Street Records and former president of Island Jamaica, recalls how a teenage producer’s unlikely record collection, a Spandau Ballet sample and a new approach to songwriting helped change the music industry.

In 1989, when Jon Baker first met Prince Be of PM Dawn, the young musician was about 16, living in a modest house in Jersey City and making music with two cassette decks.

What caught Baker’s attention was not simply the music. It was the records.

“Most of the young black kids were influenced by their parents’ vinyl collections,” Baker recalls. “They were generally in the mode of classic soul, R&B and so forth.”

Prince Be’s collection was different. His uncle Tim worked in waste disposal, collecting records that households had discarded as compact discs replaced vinyl during the 1980s.

Released on October 6, 1998, “Dearest Christian, I’m So Very Sorry For Bringing You Here. Love, Dad” is the fourth studio album from hip-hop group P.M. Dawn (@pmdawnofficial) ☮️
Released on Gee Street Records/V2, “Dearest Christian, I’m So Very Sorry For Bringing You Here. Love, Dad” was the follow-up to the 1995 album “Jesus Wept”. Composed of members Prince Be (R.I.P.) and DJ Minutemix (@eternal_pmdawn), P.M. Dawn was first formed in 1988. Initially finding success in the United Kingdom, the duo hit the mainstream in 1991 with the release of their chart-topping hit ‘Set Adrift On Memory Bliss’ from their debut album “Of The Heart, Of The Soul And Of The Cross: The Utopian Experience”. Praised for their unconventional sound and artful pop sensibility, P.M. Dawn released their sophomore effort in 1993 before returning in 1995 with their third studio album “Jesus Wept”. In 1998, P.M. Dawn returned with their fourth studio album “Dearest Christian, I’m So Very Sorry For Bringing You Here. Love, Dad”. The album’s title a reference to Prince Be’s newborn son, named Christian (@christian_cordes_). Production on the album was handled entirely by P.M. Dawn themselves ☮️
Sadly, frontman Prince Be passed away in 2016 at the age of 46. His cousin Doc. G continued performing under the P.M. Dawn name, teaming up with newest member K-R.O.K. (@nevesslu47krok) to keep the group’s legacy alive. R.I.P. Prince Be ☮️

Backstreet Boys is coming through the Rogers Centre in Toronto, everyone may know their their pop hits, but real music nerds know BSB actually launched as a vocal harmony R&B act.

I'll say it, they're truly an R&B group lol (but they're amazing in other genres too)

I have a deep assessment in all of the albums how they transitioned from New Jack Swing to R&B to Pop Ballads to UK influences.

This is my little hot take and I want another R&B album from them! It's wild to find these amazing tracks. Check the playlist in my bio.

Banger from the past! How can you not love it when the sample is “Father Figure” by George Michael?

I’m spinning this absolute gem that I picked up @kopsrecords Danforth.

Pure nostalgia, great sample, and one hell of a tune! This is “Looking Through Patient Eyes”
Extended Mix
By P.M. Dawn 1993 🇺🇸

Nggak semua sample cuma jadi “potongan” dari lagu lama. Beberapa justru berhasil bikin lagu barunya sama ikoniknya bahkan punya karakter sendiri.

Swipe buat lihat beberapa best sampled songs yang nggak kalah catchy dari originalnya.

Favorit lo yang mana?

Music has a habit of becoming part of our lives without asking permission.

A song gets attached to a person. A summer. A journey. A first love. A difficult year. A brilliant night. And sometimes we don’t realise how important it became until we hear it again years later.

Music Is Magic is a heartfelt book about the way music enters our lives, shapes our memories and occasionally disappears for a while before finding its way back.

It’s for young adults and adults who don’t just listen to music, but sometimes wonder why certain songs seem to live inside us.

Because music is rarely just background noise.

#MusicIsMagic #MusicAndMemory #MusicLovers #MusicBooks #TheThrivingMindset A paperback copy of Music Is Magic by Stuart Webb lies across several nostalgic 12-inch record sleeves, including Zoë’s Sunshine on a Rainy Day, P.M. Dawn’s Set Adrift on Memory Bliss and Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger. The photograph has warm shadows, visible grain and the nostalgic colour character of Kodak Gold film.
