The Avila Brothers • R&B MONEY Podcast • Ep.57

[@terikathomas2131]

I think we should realllllyyyyy treasure this podcast because we haven’t had this level of culture and information since……probably Arsenio of the 90s. This is big for R&B. Legendary 💪🏾💪🏾👑

[@chefmattstockard185]

I totally agree, their bringing Musicians and Songwriters to the forefront.

[@MC-dx6bd]

I love when they provide details of things that occur behind the scenes of music like the interviews: Muni Long, Kosine, and Letoya Luckette (the ex-DC member that Tank was head over heels for after meeting at filming ‘The Preacher’s Kid” and of course before he married Zena)

YOOOOOOOOOO these two brothers?!?!?!? Wow! this was an extensive interview. Janet Jackson's " I Get So Lonely" one of my favorite songs. Usher's "That's What It's Made For" WHAAAATTTTTT??!!!!??!?!?! Much gratitude to J. Valentine, Tank and the team for bringing these Cali Natives on the Podcast. Wow!!!

[@drstephenvpeters]

This is a phenomenal interview!!! The Avila Brothers hold such rich connections and knowledge of musical history on top of their expansive experimental history in the 1980s, ’90s and the corner turn into 21st century R&B.

[@michellebelk9951]

👏🏽

[@akina7491]

Wow this was a fantastic interview, we were well and truly schooled, you know your being taught knowledge, when you hear technical terms that you have to go and do the research to find out what they mean. The Avila brothers were so generous with their life story to date that they could make a brilliant movie off their life's and turn it into TV it would be action packed and reverting. Let's be honest R&B Money has a canon of valuable information that must be treated with respect. We should expect that R&B money should win Podcast of the year and in other categories too..This is a classic epic episode.The super production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis come out of this episode looking absolutely wonderful. Plus the beautiful quality that the duo Tank and J Valentine bring as host are incredible, especially with the questions input and support of their guest making the lovely brothers in this episode so comfortable that they were free to tell us of their important successful journey.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@takohsNtquila]

My TOP interview! I only wish they had slowed down when discussing artists & songs they wrote and produced. I had to pause often, open a tab, and research their credits. I hope their father was finally able to see their successes. They were correct about Prince basically being The Time. Prince's thumbprint is in everything he wrote & produced through Paisley Park productions. He played the instruments and in many cases, he was the group (i.e. Madhouse). Prince was the prototype. There will never be another!
