When I moved back to my parent's home from college for the last few years (to save money) as a 'bike commuter' riding my pedal bike every day though deep snow to the U of MN bus stop a mile away, I started listening to Chilly Charles radio show on the 'black radio station' every Sunday night getting ready for the week. During this time in the late eighties/early nineties, CD's were taking hold and vinyl was losing traction and I was buying up in a fury old soul for $0.25 each as I heard stuff on the radio.
Over the years at the blog here, I have been listing his show playlist songs as I find them then telling you all to search that name to get this list. Well, since a few of these (I actually taped off the radio show) are nowhere to be found on Discogs like the Dramatic's original lead singer WiIliam 'Weegee' Howard's timeless classic, "Children Hang On (To Your Dreams)''-although it is on Youtube now--I think it important to group these together for one download. Includes: The Chi-Lites, The Crusaders, The Dramatics, The Friends Of Distinction, The Gap Band, The Independents, The Isley Brothers, The Main Ingredient, The Masqueraders, The Moments, The New Birth, The O'Jays, The Spinners, The Staple Singers, The Stylistics, The Temptations, The Undisputed Truth, Beginning Of The End, Bobby Womack And Peace, Archie Bell & The Drells, Keith Barrow, Jackson 5, Jr. Walker & The All Stars, Natalie Cole, The Whispers, Bobby Caldwell, Grover Washington, Jr., The Persuaders, Bloodstone, Billy Paul, Chakachas, Ohio Players, Earth, Wind & Fire, Anita Ward, Johnny Taylor, Brighter Side Of Darkness, Parliament, Eruption, Brick, New York City, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Major Harris, Willie Hutch, Presidents, Curtis Mayfield, Brothers Johnson, Gladys Knight And The Pips, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Edwin Hawkins Singers, The Delfonics, Wild Cherry, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Average White Band, Blue Magic, Change, Cheryl Lynn, Chic, D.J. Rogers, Dennis Coffey And The Detroit Guitar Band, Four Tops, Gil Scott Heron And Brian Jackson, Gwen McCrae, Heatwave, Honey Cone, Intruders, Isaac Hayes, James Brown, Johnny Guitar Watson, Kenny Rogers, Kool & The Gang, Larry Graham, Lenny White, Little Milton, Mandrill, Marvin Gaye, Patti Labelle, Pleasure, Quincy Jones, Raydio, Rick James, Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan, Tavares, The Blackbyrds and The Chambers Brothers.

hey there! fellow Minneapolitan here. do you have any of the recorded shows still?
Hi ianaces and thanks for the comment. Yeah I was born in St. Mary's Hospital on the Mississippi River on U of MN campus where I got my engineering degree. Sorry I have not found yet any more tapes off the radio of that particular show but what I found is in the post and labeled VA - Back in ... I had a few more tunes like Isley Brothers - Brown Eyed Girl, Marvin Gaye from the album (I put a cool new live version instead) and had rips of those already. A couple of those songs I had to screen record off youtube and one is no longer available on discogs. Will keep an open eye
