Okay so if I’m completely honest with you all…I’ve barely ever listened to Whitney Houston. Like yeah I, and everyone in the UK, will’ve heard all of her big hits be absolutely murdered in X Factor auditions at some point. But I’ve never really sat and actually listened to her music. That’s most likely...
For the ninth playlist in The Legend Slot it’s time for us all to get our groove on. For this playlist I’m sharing funk, disco, soul and jazz legends Earth, Wind & Fire with you. I listened to all of their studio albums in ONE month and picked out 36 of the best Earth,...
After the absolute marathon that was listening to almost 500 Prince tracks for the seventh playlist in The Legend Slot, I felt like I needed to keep it simple with this next artist. So, for the eighth playlist in The Legend Slot I’ve chosen the fun, light and upbeat ABBA as my featured band....
For the seventh playlist in The Legend Slot I’m continuing on with the theme of royalty. We had Queen last month but now it’s time for funk legend Prince. Prince: A Brief History Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1958, Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson) was a singer-songwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker who was regarded...

I’m back to the solo artists for this playlist in The Legend Slot and am taking you through rock and pop legend David Bowie. This is the fifth post in my ongoing music blog series The Legend Slot. For each post in the series I listen to ALL of the studio albums of a specific...
For the fourth playlist in The Legend Slot, I decided it was about time that I featured a band. So far we’ve had Elton John, Kylie Minogue and Aretha Franklin. All completely different genres of music but all solo artists. We’ve had pop rock, full on pop and soul so far…and now I’m bringing...
Creating my own playlists is one of my favourite things to do, I’ll admit. But every now and then it’s nice to be able to put on a playlist that you don’t know inside out. When I’m looking to listen to something new I’ll always turn to Spotify to see what ready-made playlists they...
The queen of soul is here for my third playlist in The Legend Slot. That’s right Lady Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, is the third legend in this years series. In the words of the great Jack Black (in what is one of my favourite films EVER) “Everyone wants to party with Aretha!’. So, despite...
