This is the week of July 10th, 2005
This week we kick off with a jazz classic from Nancy Wilson and close with Luther covering Dionne Warwick—plus a 1982 interview with Luther. In between we look at Kanye’s Diamonds (including "Conflict Diamonds" by Lupe Fiasco)—and it’s not a pretty picture. Additionally we have a background piece on Kanye and Lauryn Hill. Let us know how it all looks to you.

This week it’s: sex and nakedness; music and social change; Kelis and Grace Jones; Sam Cooke covered by The Nevilles, The Fugees and by DC-based vocalist, Sunny Sumter; plus an insightful interview with Harold Battiste who arranged and produced for Sam Cooke.
