Soul Rhapsody - Good Foot Tuesday - Rodney Gibbs - 21 April 2026

This week on the Good Foot Tuesday edition of Soul Rhapsody, we're playful — soul music that wandered into TV themes, novelty records, and unlikely covers. Quincy Jones doing Sanford and Son. The Pointer Sisters counting pinballs on Sesame Street. Donny Hathaway turning Lennon's "Jealous Guy" into a rainy-night confession. Aretha rewiring "Eleanor Rigby."

Around that, the show keeps it moving with Baby Huey out of Chicago, the Mar-Keys out of Memphis, and James Brown's "Cold Sweat" marking Pee Wee Ellis's birthday. Pops Staples covers Dylan. The Staple Singers cover Talking Heads. Lee Fields, Darondo, Roy Ayers, and Prince round out the back stretch. Nat Phillips closes.
