    It’s always fascinating to delve into the spiritual lives of artists, particularly someone as iconic and, in many ways, as tragic as Whitney Houston. To hear her describe her relationship with God as a central pillar of her existence, especially given the tumultuous journey she faced, really underscores the power that faith can hold.

    She used a very specific image, didn't she? A grain of sand. It’s a powerful analogy, really. Thinking about that immense coastline, the vastness of the desert, and then imagining oneself as a single, tiny grain. It speaks volumes about humility, about recognizing one’s place within something much larger than oneself. It’s a recognition of divine power, a sense of surrendering to a higher purpose.

    Now, some might see that statement through the lens of her struggles. Was this faith a source of strength during times of hardship? A comfort in moments of vulnerability? Or, perhaps, was it a way of coping with the immense pressure and expectation that fame placed upon her? We can’t know for sure, but it’s almost certainly a combination of all those things.

    It’s interesting, too, to consider how that belief shaped her artistry. Did her faith influence the passion and conviction that radiated from her performances? Did it inform the choices she made, the songs she chose to sing? You can certainly hear that gospel influence in so much of her work. It's undeniable.

    Ultimately, Whitney Houston's statement offers a glimpse into the private world of a woman who captivated millions. It reminds us that even the brightest stars, those who seem larger than life, often find solace and strength in something deeply personal and profound. And whether one shares her specific faith or not, there's something universally relatable about seeking connection and purpose in something bigger than ourselves. What do you think?

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Whitney Soul Podcast.

    Intro: Gail Nobles
    Story by: Gail Nobles

    The tune, "A Little More Love," it hit the charts like a meteor shower in '79. It Peaked at number three. But listen to these lyrics.

    Olivia Newtown John is singing bout the night draggin' on, waitin' in the heat. Sounds like a lonely scene. But then she drops the bomb! "I know, know that you'll have your way 'Til you have to go home." Sounds like this cat she's with, he's got somethin' she wants, somethin' she can't say no to, ya know?

    Then she spills the beans: "No is a word I can't say. 'Cause it gets me nowhere to tell you no, And it gets me nowhere to make you go." Olivia is trapped. She knows this relationship ain't goin' nowhere good, but she's stuck in the gravitational pull of this dude.

    But here's where it gets real, real deep. The chorus, man, those questions:
    "Will a little more love make you stop depending? Will a little more love bring a happy ending? Will a little more love make it right? Will a little more love make it right?"

    She's askin' herself, and maybe askin' him, can love really fix this mess? Can she change him? Can she give enough of herself to make him a better man?

    It's a universal cry. We all wanna believe love can conquer all, but sometimes, it ain't enough. Sometimes, a little more love ain't gonna change a thing.

    Olivia Newton-John was servin' up some serious truth about relationships, about being stuck, about hopin' for a change. So next time you hear "A Little More Love," remember there's more to it than just a catchy tune. It's a question mark hangin' over all our hearts.

    You're listening to Podcast AM Memories. I'm your host, Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening.

    I’m Gail Nobles and we're diving deep into a soulful number that had everyone gettin' down back in '90! We're talkin' about After 7's "Can't Stop"!

    This song soared all the way to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100! And that ain't all - it grabbed the number one spot on the R&B charts! This record was golden! Certified Gold by the RIAA, and you know that means people were lovin' it!

    Now, let's crack open this lyrical treasure chest and see what kind of magic After 7 was spinnin'. The fellas are singing about a **life-altering night!** Let's break it down, step by step, like a smooth dance move:

    "Last night, I had the time of my life, it's true! Oh, last night, I made love for the very first time, with you!"

    This ain't no ordinary encounter! Last night changed EVERYTHING! He had the best night of his life, and he's claiming the special someone is the first person that he made love with. The real deal, folks! A night so special it stands apart from anything else!

    "And I can't stop (I can't stop) how I feel. I'm diggin' on you, you're diggin' on me. We're diggin' on we. And, no, I can't stop (I can't stop) how I feel. I'm diggin' on you, you're diggin' on me."

    And here it is! The chorus! The hook! The part that got everyone on their feet! The fella is totally hooked on her. **"I can't stop how I feel!"** He's in love, and he doesn't want to stop feeling the way he feels! It's a mutual affection, like a perfect harmony, and he's completely lost in it!

    So, what's the story here? "Can't Stop" is all about that earth-shattering, game-changing love! That kind of love that makes you see the world in a whole new light! It's about that connection that makes you feel like you can't stop grooving!

    That's all for today! This is Gail Nobles podcasting off for now! Thank you for listening to Post Recordings.
