Description
Go "under the wrapper" to uncover the hidden connections in the music we love: 70s-90s Pop and R & B.
You'll know the songs, but you MIGHT not know the backstory: those who composed, arranged, produced, or played on the songs that are the soundtrack of our generation.
Aimed at Boomers and Gen X'ers, if you grew up during the 70s and 80s, you'll know this music. Join Kelly and Dave to hear the stories and learn about those who crafted the hits.
