Stevie Mackey • R&B MONEY Podcast • Episode 016

[@carpediem9015]

SPECIAL REQUEST: add a segment w/3 part harmony to each episode! ❤️‍🔥🙏🏾

[@lyric_tenor5210]

THIS!

[@moniquegrant9238]

Girl yes a Behind the Scenes where they sing and harmonize together with all of the guest on their favorite songs together.

[@mcelweewife]

That could be a spin off podcast for themmmmm, yassss🔥🔥🔥

[@TheMOBLife]

That would be so dope!!! Like how they do Bloopers at the end of a movie, but it wouldn't be funny

[@spiritualbridger]

Sis this the one 🔥💯💯🙌🏾

[@carolinewashington3574]

I never told anyone that I wanted to be a background vocalist because I thought people would think I was aiming low or something weird. Thank you R&B Podcast and thank you @steviemackey, I don’t feel weird for having had that as my dream job/career. I knew we were friends in my head for a reason.😊

[@lolaclaudia9832]

Same here!

[@davidpellum1221]

Do that shit!

[@OnyeNyki]

Me too...I've always wanted to be a background/session singer!

[@misschelle1980]

Agreed! Always wanted to be a bgv and people look at me like I’m crazy lol

[@mrgeeda5432]

Background vocalist are great . There's alot that sing better than who they're doing background singing for.

[@theroadlesstrav]

Went to school with Stevie in high school and he once told me that he thought that I had the talent to be a backup singer. I took that as a shot to my singing ability 26 years ago. Little did I know that he was actually paying me a HUGE compliment. Crazy the things you learn 2 1/2 decades later.

[@Enlightened08]

That's a dope story❤

[@GoogleAccount00]

Reminder that people are often advising us of what THEY believe to be the highest dreams that they can achieve for THEMSELVES. And like Stevie said, he deemed background and the best dream job, so often what others put on you isn’t with bad intentions, but just limited to what THEY BELIEVE can happen. ❤

[@nicolejames3054]

J valentine is a real musician he studies the craft and he knows the history of music. I respect his break down on R&B. Much respect💪

[@terikathomas2131]

The diversity of this podcast is unmatched 🙏🙏🙏💪🏾

[@clariseharrington8252]

Facts

[@TTSantiago821]

The wonders he did for Jlo voice is what made me understand the ability of this man, his gift and his talent. He sings amazing......thats an understatement.

[@cydwambui1435]

The fact that Tank decided to study vocal greatness instead of getting into a shell when his aunty told him he was off is why he is the AUTHORITY, Him and Jay, The AUTHORITY in all things RNB!

[@ItsPronouncedKayla]

Love love love how Stevie touched on the importance and influence of Detroit

[@NovaDaley]

Protect J Valentine at all costs 🤩

[@smurfitobrigante]

Bruh the mickey mouse impression is TOP TIER 🤣🤣🔥🔥

[@101072ob]

He forgot Lisa Fischer...she is the one and core background singer who was so courageous the give us one of the best love song of all time "How can I Ease the Pain". The falsetto and runs in that one song is forever everlasting

Man!

[@leonardevans2633]

WHOAH!! DARYL COLEY is a staple and a musical standard. He's the reason that I wanted to take vocal lessons and music theory. #2ndChronicles #WhenSundayComes.

[@camimelt77]

I love J. Valentine. He is so honest at all times!

[@kofaali]

Please don’t ignore Peabo Bryson and Glenn Jones. Tremendous vocalists

[@ramiahm]

Peabo is a underrated legend.

[@carolinewashington3574]

OMGosh I went to KZbin a couple of months ago and reunited with Mr Glen Jones vocals. Haven’t stopped listening yet 😊 Watched a live concert of Peabo. So AMAZING!!

[@bosscerena91]

He has a Christmas album out

[@757doc5]

@@bosscerena91 I kno I was referring to a regular album

[@notanothercomedian]

I don’t know him that well, but I think he may not want what comes with that much success. Because being around people who are at that level, he knows what it comes with and he knows it’s price.

[@abigailhoward9312]

“If it was my last day on earth, I’d wanna be singing with my friends” I think a lot of us would agree. I get this

[@patrick05Morgan]

Only difference is your friends don’t sing like him and his😂

[@ishag2624]

LISTEN: That was some of the greatest advice given. You can’t be humble without knowing how to LISTEN first. Love it! Great interview! Amazing insight! ♥️🔥

[@DeeeFabolous]

I agree with Mr Stevie Mackey, we LOOOVE knowing about the behind the scene, TRULY! It inspires everyone whether you want to make music or not, if you don't learn nothing from these stories, you learn about the grind and the PERSEVERANCE needed to accomplish anything. THANK YOU again, Tank and J Valentine!

[@TheRetroWoman80]

True. If there are no behind the scenes players, there is no scene at all.

[@preciousmahogany516]

Love the show! Please ask Anthony Hamilton to interview.

[@larissaparrott6555]

This right here!

[@djsamsmite]

Oakwood University is a hidden gem. So much talent out of that HBCU.

[@anelaforsythe1723]

To me personally, this is the best podcast right now. The conversations are so natural and everyone is just so in sync, there's never an awkward moment. It's beautiful, shout out to everyone involved in this I hope you guys keep growing.

[@MsKimkimbutler]

Side note: we definitely Ryan Leslie! He was a huge influence back on the 2000s and so curious as to his music moves currently. But yall are killing it regardless 💗 tuned in every episode 🙌🥰

[@rahdream]

What an episode if they do it. I can see them vibing together good

[@varinianevilles239]

Yall don’t miss!!! This interview was fire!! I honestly look forward to this podcast weekly. During certain periods of your life, there is sometimes an album that gets you through that time. This podcast is my soundtrack for nursing school. Thank you for this podcast!! 🔥❤️🩺

This is so me...I put this podcast on while cooking Saturday morning breakfast. I CANNOT WAIT... love, love, love this #R&BMoney ❤❤❤

[@chantrellharris8494]

He could definitely be Mickey Mouse. I love how Stevie and Jamie Foxx can imitate anyone and anything. That's a very special gift and lost talent not many have.

[@Boushe_desi]

I would love to see Brandy!

[@la2084]

I put in a prayer that Disney will reach out to him amazing!

[@TedlaEKHAN]

I am thrilled that you interviewed Stevie. I am a huge fan of his Taco Tuesdays and always wondered about his backstory. His skill is an anointment and his perspective on music is fascinating. As a fan, it's wonderful to learn the science behind the art. This is what podcasts are made for. To be a fly-on-the-wall during experts' conversations. Keep it up! #rnbmoney

[@DualityUnlimited]

Exactly. This comment is underrated!

[@MsAngelaCrystal]

Thank you guys so much for putting some respect on my city! Detroit's style does deserve to be studied

STEVIE MACKEY a real one for listing Anita Baker in his tops singers🥰

[@CharaMcGill]

This was such a good episode! I laughed so hard 😂. Also, J Valentine…we see you growing in your church culture, Sir! We see you 😊 Love to see it.

[@muvamekaspeaks]

Anita Baker 💯💯💯 and I’ll admit I didn’t appreciate her until I was older‼️ Perfection 👌🏽

[@akiraspathintothefuture6685]

The best show on KZbin. We were raised on The Winans, Commissioned, James Cleveland and all the mass choirs!! This show is top notch. Keep it up fellas💓💓💓

He should just call it Gumbo 😂

[@MainEventTy]

Damn I wish yall could've got Jesse Powell before he passed. RIP King🤴🏿

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

This podcast is pure Magic! Knew this episode would be amazing from the Mickey Mouse “shorts,” but as always, we get way more than we bargained for. He dropped so many gems and when you’re influenced by the gospel greats, nothing but incredible talent can come from that. Darryl Coley, John P Kee, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Commissioned, Anita, I mean, my God!! That “Amen,” theme song still SLAPS! Stevie is so humble, yet so talented, and I can’t wait for him to put himself out there on an even bigger level. The fact that his start was singing behind Lalah, come on 👏🏾. I love to hear Stevie and Avery Wilson sing together. I love to see Stevie at the piano, playing behind so many wonderful artists and promoting and loving on so many wonderful artists. We need more like him. His “top fives,” were great, and shout out to him making all efforts to save his reputation from a rapper doing the most 😩😂. Can’t say it enough, this podcast makes me feel good. Y’all are infectious and everything is always seamless. Nothing is ever forced. I don’t know how it’s not at a million subs already. Thank y’all for this, and I’ll continue to say it over and over again. Y’all make Saturday mornings better. I truly look forward to it every week. Thanks again for another fantastic episode 🥰 I know I’ve said a mouthful, but I’m so thankful for this and this podcast has helped me to get out of whatever low points that have been endured because of the things going on in the world. Looking forward to the next episode, as always 🥰

[@tishairvin6507]

Another great conversation!! Mickey Mouse impression was GREAT!!! Love love love!!!! I grew up Seventh Day Adventist, and Oakwood was and still the best!!!!!! Loved going there growing up.

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@tessatheartist33]

Oakwoodite here I was only there one year but everything Stevie said about the music department is true! 😂

[@motrainer888]

When you love all things R&B, you love learning the history. I'm a 70's baby but having older parents (mother is 80 and father would have been 83), siblingd, aunts and uncles and even 1st cousins, I know music from the decades before me.

Wonderful podcast! I was wondering if you could pay tribute to Jesse Powell, who was an underrated yet amazing vocalist and a huge asset to R&B.🙏🏽

I wish I was a little more serious in singing - some of the notes hit me like what? AND if I had the 💰 I would take lessons! I love these podcasts!!!

This by far is one of the coldest episodes yet!! My boy Stevie Mackey! Basically my entire family went to Oakwood. He and my brother N'Namdi Bryant were there together and worked out together, lil bro is cold too; check 'em out! But this was a very necessary interview to have! It was hilarious, you got the exclusive on lock and you gave the flowers to one of the rawest, coldest, and gifted G's in the game! Aye keep holding it down fellas! I love the podcast!

I feel like it’s cuz he’s a man so he listened to more men to mimic n learn to sing. But i noticed that too but most people on the podcast say Whitney

[@jennypotts2008]

💯💯

[@tyronetaylor6689]

As an r&b producer I can tell you this one for sure,, Strong backgrounds & harmonies is a must have!!! That can make the difference of your song sounding like a demo or a finish radio radio hit ,, example Tevin Campbell's Can We Talk such a simple song but it's the harmonies on the hook that brings it to the next level. I would go as far as to say groups like Guy, Jodeci and Boyz to Men made it mandatory moving forward in r&b music and pop music in general

[@keshc9416]

Also finally someone mentioning Joe ❤️ loved that era with avant and Donell

[@skippruitt2391]

Mentioning the unsung background singers was super dope!

Luke James is epic his vocal ability his range his sex appeal his humbleness it all permeates in his vocal ability it just who's the thing of it is is when he first came out it's a solo artist and not a background singer I think the music wasn't written well for him the story wasn't written well for him now I've heard some more contemporary more recent stuff that the music is extremely well written for him however I don't know what's going on we're not hearing him maybe because he's given that Gemini energy you know the shy humble thing when at the end of the day he's a beast and the vocal Realm he was on some award show I can't remember which one it was and he killed it and I'm like wow I didn't really give him his just do
