[@txzbelle75]

YOU HAVE TO know you also have a "cult" following?? ... so does Tank... lol ❤️ ya'll! Can't wait for ya'll to do an ultimate LOVE SONG together... like First Began but with Tank's shirt off...

[@rochiggidy]

I’m on the Stevie Wonder conversation part 😂you did a good job avoiding the land mines. I saw what he showed me” 😭 Not taking a buck naked call from the legend. 😂😂😂

[@deannaadams3487]

Great interview.. Thank you from a fan. 👏🏽

[@jerroldalexander6256]

PJ is definitely a combination of Stevie, Donnie and Marvin..... one of our quintessential R&B kings!!

[@candicesmith1708]

SoTrue

[@jordanbaker931]

100%!

[@acoats410]

Nope disagree

[@safdgbv]

Maybe there’s something I don’t know, but I find it amazing that every guest has had some positive origin story on how they’ve met Tank years ago. Speaks to this guys character. ✊🏿

[@uwanaibanga9488]

That's the whet holy spirit attracts the whet holy spirit in my book.

[@cb4664]

I noticed that too….

[@sisig2414]

Can I just say, I howl everytime at Tank's introduction..It seems to get louder each week...🤣🤣😂

[@renayadams7470]

... especially when he's excited. Cause why u yelling at us like that???? 😂😂😂

[@NatashaWinston]

"THEEE AUTHORITY" lol

[@jacalynjohnson4656]

He has hearing difficulties.

[@kendrap-LvnHppnss6371]

Once again, Tank and J Valentine never disappoints on the guests...PJ Morton is a jack of all trades from Maroon 5 to his solo career and producing. I'm all in for another great podcast. 😉

[@tiabanks5585]

Facts!!!!

[@tbetters2012]

The way Tank holla'd out CINNAMON!!! It was the head tilt 😂😂😂

[@itsqobaby7226]

😂😂😂 yeah he felt that!!!

[@omolola15]

😂😂😂

[@cb4664]

Ain’t they stoopid? 😂😂😂

[@nclightworker4924]

You guys have the perfect formula. Please Do Not ever include a studio audience. It will kill the vibe. It truly feels like I'm listening to Artist engaging in personal/intimate conversations. Thank you for providing us with a platform that we didn't even know we needed.

[@tamarajohnson2315]

Shout out to Bishop Morton...a real one🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mrsanisamartinlee]

I was like how Tank didn’t know

[@nikisha1210]

Tank & J didn't have a clue who the great Bishop Paul S. Morton was. Wow!

[@gwenmarie7311]

WOW!! Really 🤷🏽‍♀️How they didn’t know who his Father was

[@DeeDee-ik9yg]

Somebody give Tank his album of the year Grammy please....😆😆 Another awesome show!👏🏾👏🏾

[@gustice8278]

Beautiful interview- I definitely can sense that PJ spends a lot of time with himself & breathes the introverted language ❤️ J. Valentine hit the nail on the head with this one though when he said r&b changed when grandma's stopped making children or grandchildren go to church 🔥🔥🔥

[@tamarajohnson2315]

Facts

[@gioblu]

THIS! It’s like the light dimmed in R&B.

[@faithbylatrice]

Right!!!!!

[@faithbylatrice]

Cuz listen if we being real the core and origin of R&B comes from the good Lord!

[@gustice8278]

@@faithbylatrice ha ! Amen

[@Jaqueta84]

"Not the love of my life! Not MY Cinnamon!!" I rewatched that part about 5 times and laughed hard each time like they did 🤣😄😂

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

This episode was incredible @R&B Money Podcast. PJ is a Godsend! His music helped me through these last few years in a major way. His writing skills are top notch and his musicianship is immaculate. I didn’t know until listening to the Gospel According to PJ that he couldn’t read music but he had that true ear. That’s one of the hardest ways to learn music, and nothing but the anointing and God’s plan for his life. A true prodigy and one of the best writers of modern day r&b, gospel, and soul. I have too many favorites, but My Peace truly helped me to get through the past year. 🥹. This podcast has been the best experience from it’s inception. I can’t brag about y’all enough. It never lets me down. Thanks for all you do ❤ 💸💸

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

You Da Best !!!

[@tashaunalindsley]

Same for me.. "my peace", was my peace lol

[@NATHANIELA123]

You can tell Tank and J are good friends. They crack up too much or they give each other the look when they about to crack jokes. 😂

[@m.norman1143]

Pj is built different. Blessings to him

[@clutchesllc1930]

The whole Stevie can see always sends me. Him face timing people and being about the jokes makes me love it and him even more. 😂

[@LoveAlwaysAndBeyond]

My favorite part so far - PJ thought the tour bus was going to church on Sunday on the Badu tour.. J. Valentine, “Can I get a window 🪟 seat?” 😫😫😫😫

[@celly9719]

I hollered!

[@BeautyLoves88]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 j. valentine’s quick-wit is pretty impressive lol

[@sheischic77]

I screamed J is a fool 😂

[@adamrideout6715]

Yo y'all need to get Dave Hollister soon....a true 90s great!

[@genikathompson5432]

Yasssss For Dave Hollister 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@chelseabcox]

Oh yes!!!!

[@nikitaserious6513]

Awesome interview! Now it's time for ya'll to interview Lalah Hathaway. She mentioned on Sherri Shephard's show no one talks to her, she just sings...I think that would be a great interview. Much love to your podcast.

[@gwenmarie7311]

I agree 💯💯💯I would love to hear them interview Lalah Hathaway

[@sacajawiahandberry2416]

Yes Lalah hathaway

[@mskarismatik]

The fact that Tank just goes from talking into randomly playing the keyboard and breaking into song. He low key playing around but the vocals are still really good!! God bless all 3 of these gentleman and their endeavors

[@GradyBrutha]

“Next time bring a Grammy, so we can at least see one in person. I got a certificate. I ain’t even got that…” Y’all are comedy gold!😂🏆

[@tishairvin6507]

His collabs with Jo and Yebba are my favorites! The Top 5 intro is back, lol!!! Love it!! Amazing list!

[@norishenderson9518]

This has got to be one of their best and funniest podcasts ever!!!😂

[@ArkansasShawT]

We need a Part 2 with PJ…..love him and his spirit ❤

[@LesRuizJ]

Ever since I heard PJ’s “Live from LA”, he’s been one of my faves. Over 60% of my vinyl collection is this guy’s records. The fact that I’m still learning about this guy is inspiring even the more

[@theexclusiveedition]

His admonition for Beatles makes sense as to why he would take that maroon 5 gig. PJs journey is special. 1 of 1 even

[@rickeyjackson1956]

This podcast is everything for me personally. As a real fan of R&B these interviews are so inspiring. Keep em coming.

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

Will do!

[@Wallacegirl42]

😂😂😂 "Stevie going to punch Tank." this podcast has me hollering J. Valentine and Tank are hilarious.... This was good, love Pj Morton good choice

[@cshell75]

I was at Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church uptown when PJ was a teen on the keys. He is not lying. He used to be improvising. I have been following him since as a fan of his art. I have never missed a PJ concert when he was in my town. Always phenomenal.

[@SlaveofChrist_]

Between my biblical studies..Some names popped in my head as recommendations for future interviews. • Isley Brothers • Smokie Robinson • Eddie Levert • Lionel Richie • Charlie Wilson • El DeBarge

[@Sunshine94533]

Yes!!! All of these please!!!

[@johnrharrisiv]

Wow this is a tremendous list.

[@aaliyce]

Great list!

[@daddytv8138]

Love that list. Can I add: Warryn Campbell Faith Evans SWV Esther Dean Toni Braxton The Dream

[@elijahp7898]

This lineup is one of kind!

[@vannesegreen8934]

Tank and J. Valentine are hilarious on the sidelines with interviews 😂😂😂😂.. PJMorton is awesome I did not realize is with Maroon 5. I love them such a soulful style band 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@HendersonNoMore]

Man I CANT WAIT TIL YALL GET STEVIE WONDER ON THE PODCAST!!!!!!

[@skippruitt2391]

That will be Legendary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JustShanae]

The chokehold that Gumbo Unplugged has had me in for years!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I loooovvvvveeee PJ Morton!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MelissaPensItDown]

Didn’t know he was from New Orleans 🎉 there right now! 🥰 side note: shoutout to P.J.’s dad and parents who support their child’s artistry. 🙌🏾

[@Mrsgreene82]

"R&B music changed when grandma's stopped making these babies go to church".......TRUEST STATEMENT EVER, and from a man that proclaims he wasn't raised in nor around the church. So his statement speaks VOLUMES!!!! LOVE THIS QUOTE

[@organicsoulchef]

Another EXCELLENT episode! I laughed so hard. I cannot wait for that Stevie Wonder episode to manifest. 💛

[@evalynelston2438]

Ok Tank and J Valentine....I see y'all!🖤 PJ dropping real business knowledge👍🏾

[@shaylovesthethings]

I have been randomly yelling "cinnamon" throughout the week! This was my second favorite episode. So much knowledge. Very appreciative of this conversation.

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patriciaalexandra96]

That intro caught me cracking upppp😂😂😂😂😂

[@reefahall8098]

We not gonna ignore the "forever and Ever" note Tank hit 😜👑🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mssmartlooks]

PJ feels like a favorite cousin throughout this episode. Understanding of life but not judging or messy. Great interview

[@deejay5200]

When I tell you, my pillow is wet, and the nose is stuffed up from crying and laughing thru this whole episode. YOOOOO!! HILARIOUS is an understatement. This was so funny. Yall sum fools, I thoroughly enjoyed PJ. Love his music. First Began!! 🙌🙌. It just gets better and better w each episode. Who next?? 💞

[@mzapril007]

Watching these episodes each week is like watching multiple mini movie clips of the artist story...... From the beginning, middle...and current....The hustle is real..... 🤣😂... Y'all took your mother pink purple and white ministry church bus to get to where u had to go...😂🤣.. To see the ppl faces that was standing outside waiting to go in😂🤣😂🤣they were probably like WTH is going on here😂🤣😂 Are we at the rt spot 😂🤣😂 Got to love the hustle...Love this podcast 😆💖🙌🏽... Keep this going .... By the way I like the studio background behind the artists.... Another great one..PJ Morton #E-32

[@KaiLove]

So many gems in this episode for those of us at an artistic crossroad. The "hit life" comment and church conversation was definitely for me. PJ's pathway into music and being friends with Stevie Wonder is divine. He's one of the chosen keepers of Stevie's sound and songwriting, and Tank and J. are the chosen storytellers. Bravo Gents!

[@mmoody4967]

I don't think I've laughed this hard watching an interview in a long time! Love PJ's music and love what you all are doing with this podcast. Sign me up as a live audience member!

[@robinbell2877]

I am making my way through these interviews, but I think this one may be my favorite so far. Love, love, love PJ! His concerts are 🔥🔥🔥Thanks for this. 🥰

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@specialk0122]

I love the joking around and laughter ❤❤❤

[@teaspoonofkolor7494]

Once a month at least, I listen to Go thru your phone. PJ is a gift. This podcast is what we never knew we needed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@miamitchell-haynes7022]

Every time I think I have a favorite episode, they come with yet another one! Great job guys! Please keep it going. We need this! The homage you all pay to the gospel greats (Commissioned) is very necessary.

[@christeec1918]

Absolutely AMAZING interview and knowledge dropped! Truly a gifted musician, artist and singer...PJ MORTON is the TRUTH!! Keep it going R&B Money Podcast!! You two deserve ALL the AWARDS!!

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

Thanks for listening

[@JoynPain]

PJ is a musical genius and will be named along with the greats. I enjoyed every minute of this interview. 💐💐

[@gwenmarie7311]

I agree 💯💯

R&B Money plus PJ Morton.... This is GOLDEN❤💯🎼🎶🎶🎵🎵🎹🎹🎹🎤🎧

“You live in the hood but it’s close to the nice houses” 🤣🤣🤣 J!!!!!!

[@YaGurlDanaB]

The comedy on this episode, "You goin K%^& me...U goin do it." Breaking down the architecture of the act. I was laughing so hard. PJ is legendary. The gift is apparent. Love this episode.

[@bri310]

Fr PJ was one of the best concerts I'd been to in over 20+ yrs. It was an experience

[@harmonioushoney]

I absolutely love when they burst out in song throughout the interview ❤

[@dariuspayne6027]

Love that y’all brought him on!

[@nwananka]

Let go....let God.

[@LoveAlwaysAndBeyond]

That song blessed me!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@KSBynum]

I didn't know he wrote that. Definitely one of my favorite Gospel songs.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

"That can't be the love of _my_ life..." 🤣🤣

[@sheilawilliams9966]

I LOVED THE INTERVIEW AND ESPECIALLY PJ'S EXPLANATION OF SO CALLED SECULAR MUSIC!!!

[@nmclark45]

PJ!!!!⚜️ This was sooo good! He was my sister's high school choir director. Still humble and Uber talented.

[@terrancemcclendon456]

I love that " rnb stopped when grandma's stopped making kids go to church" !!now its rapping most the album and snapping as production

[@astoldbytravi]

Let Go is definitely one of those songs!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Has so many feels! One time for P.Morton!!!

[@Classicrock515]

Greg Phillinganes would be an interesting guest. He's been THE keyboardist for Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan & Quincy + many more. and he's hilarious so I'm sure it would be great!

[@MagnificentStarr]

This podcast was so needed in our history of the human experience because when you see all the ppl who "touched hands" & "rubbed elbows" my God!!!!! I'm so glad I was born when I was born. (79) The History of R&B and Hip-hop is bleeding thru my veins!!!! I absolutely adore this and the fact that Tank & J. V. have great personalities is so DOPE!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@navynavy7306]

THE STEVIE WONDER THEORIES AND STORY HAD ME CRYING WITH LAUGHTER AT 59:26 TILL 1:07:31 🤣🤣

[@_jaz613]

J. Valentine’s laugh. Omggggg… 😩😂😂😂😂😂😂 His laugh has me bent. 😭😭😭

[@ourbreakthroughpodcast9353]

That song right there still does it for meee today!! “Let go and let God🙌🏾.”

[@ReturnIILoveEntertainmentFtDjG]

Pj representing my state Louisiana stand up ⬆️ so very proud of this dude man. A true gem in this business 💯 continued success to him, and the R&B money podcast. This show has become the highlight of my week 🙌🏾

[@staceycheatom4427]

J Valentine is absolutely right about when kids stopped going to church, that's when r&b changed. I've been saying this for years. For most r&b singers, that's where they used to get their training.

[@MrBoggiejamz]

PJ Morton Sr is an anointed pastor, singer and man of God. Welp, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree because PJ Morton Jr is the same. Thank y'all for this interview. 🙏🏿

[@ShandraNorwoodleveritt]

Commissioned needs to be a guest!! Individually they all need to get their flowers❤❤❤

[@bluquartz2]

7 minutes in and I’m in tears from laughing… I love these episodes. I used to go see Algebra at the Loews hotel love music series. And Apache was the perfect vibe in Atlanta.

[@Sammygmd]

This is my favorite episode already♥️

[@elijahp7898]

I'm watching now, its growing on me! You can sense the genuine love that these brothers have for one another!

[@latoya77092]

Pj is definitely that dude!! 👏🏾

[@chasjazzz]

This was the Best. I've been in the business for almost 37yrs and he spoke Facts!. It's about your art and your craft. Be honest w/yourself before you can be honest w/anyone else. Love it

[@mignongarner8437]

Tank Killin ‘em on the keyboard at the end- he Playin around and still slayin it! This episode will have you hollerin’ AND for students of music- it’s gonna put you on to some stuff👌🏽 Thank you Tank and J Valentine 👌🏽💫🙌🏽

[@feliciafe1087]

PJ Morton! Simply put I LOVED IT. PJ Morton might have been the first to list DeBarge in their top 5. I think El DeBarge would be a good guest with awesome stories.

[@teddyportwine789]

When you are a business person you have to make sure those who you are responsible for eat before you. Being a boss comes with a lot of sacrifice that often isn't spoken of publicly.

The way I hollered when he asked "Are any of the bases going to church! Badu bus

[@LoveAlwaysAndBeyond]

Then, J. Valentine said, “Can I get a window 🪟 seat?!?!” 😂😂😂

[@Dwillonthemic]

EVERY SINGLE ARTIST THAT COMES ON THAT HAS ANY CHURCH INFLUENCE HAS A COMMISSIONED STORY. It’s time to have them on! They ARE R&B!

[@IsupportClintonLG]

Great interview and funny 👍🏽👍🏽

PJ is that guy. Been a fan since early 2000’s. I was in the lounges listening to this brotha COOK 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GorgeousGem616]

Wonderful interview. PJ is my dude!! I have traveled to a few states to see him perform. He never disappoints.

[@MsDaniB314]

This is officially one of my favorite episodes. I’ve always admired PJ from afar and know some of his songs here and there but this was so cool to learn more about him. Now I’m even more of a fan.

[@ruchitherookie]

This interview was too jokes! Tank & J Valentine need to get all 4 members of Jodeci on here next!

[@sgenisesgs]

I knew by how it started this was going to be another good one! Man oh man, the laughs I had. Whewww! Keep up the good work guys! ♥️ PJ, his story, his drive, & vibe. His concerts are "an experience"!

[@mrsbebebo]

“You trying to die tonight?” Me: “No…no I put my ground beef on the counter for tacos tonight.” I’m dead…that “I ain’t saying no names” is only second to Kosine’s third story ”with him!” I love this podcast. Good job fellas!

[@lewisalcapone9212]

It's going to be hard to beat kosine's and probably jammie's but this a close second 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@csauls]

He graciously played for my group back then. We were very grateful.

[@michaelbazemore6691]

PJ Morton and his journey and the labels critiques is a true testament that the cream always rises to the top. Real artist and real musicians never get old. They're timeless!!!

[@cb18luv]

Wowwwww y’all getting some heavy hitters 🫡😭
