    Hello groovy podcast listeners. It's your host Gail Nobles on the Cat Bear. I've got something that got folks scratching their heads - records and podcast. Now let me break it down for you.
    Picture this: You hear the music from your radio. That's the vibe my friends, but here's the kicker - when it comes to podcasts, we’re throwing those vinyl grooves right out the window. Why? Let me tell you.

    Podcasts all about the spoken word. Imagine a conversation between your favorite host, dishing out stories, news, and laughter. They don't need no crackling vinyl or spinning disc. It's all digital now, screamed right into your ears through the magic of the Internet.

    Next up, the flexibility. In the world of podcasts, we're not limited by the length of a record. Who needs to flip it over? A podcast can take you on an adventure, whether it's a quick 15 minute chat or an epic two hour deep dive. No side A or Side B, just straight up freedom.

    And Hey! Let's not forget about production. Those dreamy sounds you hear in my podcast or crafted with care, mixing in music, sound effects, and all sorts of audio wizardry. Records are just grooves and a slab of wax or a multimedia feast for your ears.

    Just look on the bright side. You got a chance to do something new. I wish I could play a few minutes of a 45 record, but I can't. It's against the podcast rules. While we love the sound of vinyl spinning. podcasts are forging their own path through the airwaves, bringing conversations and stories directly to you. You won't hear those records playing in the background of a podcast. It's all about the magic of technology.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for tuning into the Cat Bear. The podcast sound the podcast way.

    We celebrate the sensational sound of a truly captivating Queen of Urban Pop. The one and only Aaliyah. Princes of R&B with a voice that flows like velvet and moves that could mesmerize the hardest of hearts. That's what her song Death of a Playa is all about. Hmm! Hm! Aaliyah was the epitome of cool that brought that sultry blend of R&B and hip-hop straight to the fourth front of our minds and our stereo speakers.

    Born with a gift and an inimitable style. A unique style and different. Aaliyah burst onto the scene like a shooting star lightning up the charts with timeless classics that make you want to groove and sway. Her smooth hypnotic melodies wrap around you like a warm embrace while her infectious spirit uplifts and inspires turning each performance into a magical experience.

    Whether she was enchanting us with one in One in a Million or showing her powerful side with Try Again Aaliyah had a unique ability to connect with her audience, leaving us all yearning for more of her dazzling presence. Just like right now, we wish to see her again. With her signature look, striking confidence, and undeniable talent she stood out from everyone else. She was a trailblazer for generations to come. We see that every day. We see people inspired by her.

    Aaliyah, a star whose light will shine bright and forever echo in the hearts of music lovers everywhere!

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. You can now turn up The Queen’s music and groove.

    Selena Quintanilla is a beloved icon whose music continues to resonate with fans around the world.

Quintanilla who wanted to modernize previously released and unreleased songs recorded by Selena. A.B. was able to de-tune Selena's voice making her sound older than she really was in the original recordings.

    The album is entitled Moonchild Mixes debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard Top Album Sales, including number eight on the Top Latin Albums, number one on the Latin Pop Albums and number two on the Regional Mexican Albums charts with 5000 album equivalent units.
