It's Thanksgiving! (almost...) This episode ties together decades of soul, funk, gospel, and art-pop, all orbiting a theme of thanks; food thanks, family thanks, spiritual thanks, and the small-kindnesses kind of thanks kicked off by Geggy Tah. From Marvin Sapp’s modern gospel resilience to Mali Music’s trap-tinged praise, the set moves from secular comfort to spiritual grounding. These are songs that zoom out from recipes and headcounts to the bigger stuff—survival, faith, growth. Whether you’re cooking, commuting, or recovering from a full plate, this two-hour record party keeps the focus on what’s good. Press play whenever you need a reminder that appreciation sounds best with a backbeat.
For Funk's Sake is hosted by me, Bruce Caines, and comes to you each week from the studios of OWWR, Old Westbury Web Radio (owwrny.org).
