An easy afternoon celebrating simpler times and the music that raised us — the R&B, soul, dance and early hip-hop playing while cartoons were on and Saturday felt like it could last forever — Stevie, Chaka, Luther, Anita, Prince, MJ, Janet, Mary, Tribe, De La and so many more.

Our DJs - @jeromebaker3rd and @relldeez_ , trace those sounds forward: from the records we grew up hearing, to the icons they inspired, to the contemporary artists reinterpreting it all today.
