I remember when I was an infant my uncle, Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks, would sing this song to me as I fell asleep. He later went to war and we never heard from him again. Miss you uncle peggy :)
People are frustrated by everyone shoving ai down their throats. This frustration gave birth to a lot of bad takes on generative content and art in general. Ai art is still art.
Some of these AI songs are made by someone actually singing them and THEN applying an AI voice filter. If this is the case for this one then it's not really lifeless. But then again I could be wrong as shit
I was there when the great Nayvadius Wilburn opened for the Isley Brothers at the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia back in '75. He a had one of a kind voice. Tragically he died in '76 from an overdose on Percocet.
Rutherford Edwin Turner, best known by his stage name Eddie "Bluesman" Turner, was an African American R&B/Soul singer-songwriter and guitarist. He is best known for his #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit Turn on the Lights. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1939 to a father who worked as a session jazz guitarist, and a mother who was a hotel maid, Rutherford was exposed to music at an early age. His father started teaching him jazz and blues guitar as early as the age of 4. By 5 years old Rutherford was arranging his own compositions. In 1967 Rutherford was drafted into the United States Marine Corps and served 1 year in Vietnam. He was honorably discharged as Lance Corporal in 1969. In 1970 Rutherford would go on to perform studio session work for Philadelphia Motown singer Tammi Terrell as well as Marvin Gaye, and Philadelphia International house band Mother Father Sister Brother. In 1971 Rutherford was signed to Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International label. For his first two years on the label he would exclusively provide session guitar and bass guitar work for MFSB. Despite his virtuosity on guitar and bass, the group found him unreliable at times given his extreme alcoholism. It was noted at one session the producer had to hold him upright because he kept falling during a guitar solo on a track for the O'Jays. In 1973 Rutherford released his first and only album Higher Than an Astronaut. It spawned the Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit Turn on the Lights. It also featured several other top ten singles including Stick Talk, 56 Nights, March Madness, and Dirty Sprite. The album also reached #3 in the UK as well as #9 in Canada. A few months after the album release Rutherford was doing session work in Los Angeles with Curtis Mayfield and died of what authorities cite as a drug overdose. He was found to have extremely high levels of cocaine and alcohol in his system. Four decades later rap legend Navadius Cash, known by his stage name Future, would cover several of Rutherford's hits. Citing Rutherford as a huge influence on his music, Future would revitalize the status of Rutherford as a pop icon and virtuoso guitar player amongst younger generations. His techniques are frequently cited in jazz and blues guitar standards amongst esteemed musical schools such as Juilliard, Harvard, and Berklee. In 2024 a compilation of his best hits, Eddie "Bluesman" Turner: The Quintessential Sessions, was released by Motown Records and reached #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Soul categories. It is noted as a pivotal album in connecting FUTURE generations to music that they would otherwise disband and has shaped the landscape of alternative R&B quite influentially.
This song hurts me till this day. Was at the club with this fine mamma jamma right. I went the restroom to take a leak from holding it all day. I come back when this song was playing and saw her dancing with some sucka. I went home crying until the TV went off.
This isn’t fully AI-made-90% of it comes from the artist. They crafted the vocal flow and melodies, and then a vocal changer AI was used to mimic another celebrity’s voice. AI can’t never ever create beats or melodies as good as this. Big respect to this ghost artist!
This AI shit is all fun and games until it hits you in the feels and it exceeds the original. This shit is amazing. The transition at 2:23 is some Grammy shit for real.
I feel you, bro. I got divorced last year, and I found the woman I've been looking for, but this song takes me back to a time when I was in search of "her."
sampling ai songs like peggy or metro did is such an interesting idea. putting time and effort to turn something so unimaginative as a song made by a robot into art is crazy to think about
my boyfriend asked me if i knew where the sample came from and i was actually so surprised to find this. now i cant stop listening to this song and it elicits a strong emotional response lol! i am curious about how much of a say-if any at all- that future had in this. on genuis this is the only sample listed but it’s an interpolation of future’s song! he should get credit and royalties in my opinion!!! i have some reservations about ai but music is so transcendent and this is kind of fascinating
It's honestly crazy scary how good this is wth.. I was listening on repeat and truly thought it came out in the 1970s until I started searching for the artist to realise this shit is really ai
If you watch futures lyric video with genius on this song he's almost in tears as he just talks about how much he loves beautiful women lol pretty simple meaning. However, this version makes me interpret a meaning where "turn on the lights" means stopping the party. Stopping the clubbing. Stopping the meaningless hook up lifestyle and instead finding an honest woman who "anytime you need her she comes through". Finding a real one.
I’ve always cherished this classic from brother Eddie ever since that night at the juke when the most impeccable dame I’d ever seen looked across the floor at me. Eddie’s song was playing once we got to talking and I was just off the cob bumping gums completely starstruck by her. By God’s grace she was still interested for some reason. I’ll never forget that night and the possibilities of Betty and I. Sadly that night there was a grease fire and I was the sole survivor of the Great Grease Fire of Jefferson’s Juke (1974). Prayers and love to you Betty 🙏🙏🙏 🕊 🕊 🕊
This is not only a crazy gd find by Peggy, it's also an incredible sample in its own right. This type of AI use in music I condone fr, ish is beautiful
This is why I get so mad when people dismiss ai. I understood the bad ramifications but before now I thought the singing on Peggy's album was beautiful, it's one of my favorite parts and to see it was purely ai amazes me. It's a TOOL.
I remember when I came home from the war to find out that my old lady had my daughter around this pimp named skinny while I was gone!! Talking about he a friend of the family that pissed me off , I needed some money for my babygirl and I just got laid off from my job at the meat shop so… I got four of my friends from the army and we robbed at armored bank truck!!!

It is. You're listening to it.
Finna play this at my wedding just to see if anyone will notice 😂
Bet most people won't
This AI track made me feel emotional and reflective. Perhaps this can be considered art?
It's certainly blurring the lines
People are frustrated by everyone shoving ai down their throats. This frustration gave birth to a lot of bad takes on generative content and art in general. Ai art is still art.
how the fuck did peggy discover this
he probably did it somehow
it's a future cover
Probably by just searching tons of information about music

I don't think he cares about copyright anyways considering the other Future sample on the album.

I needed this.
Come for the jpegmafia sample, stay for the existential dread of an AI making 70s music
This song hurts me till this day. Was at the club with this fine mamma jamma right. I went the restroom to take a leak from holding it all day. I come back when this song was playing and saw her dancing with some sucka. I went home crying until the TV went off.

You are responsible for my new favorite Peggy song. Thank you!
What song?
@@Smells.like.iMb.8 either on or off drugs
heard the peggy song needed to find the sample was suprised to say the least 😭 🙏
The reason that future’s song blends in so well is the fact that hiphop and RnB originate partly from soul

What a song. Damn peggy you outdone yourself yet again
This right here...... This right here.
AINT NO WAY PEGGY SAMPLED THIS WHAT DO YOU MEAN
