Went to school with Stevie in high school and he once told me that he thought that I had the talent to be a backup singer. I took that as a shot to my singing ability 26 years ago. Little did I know that he was actually paying me a HUGE compliment. Crazy the things you learn 2 1/2 decades later.
That's a dope story❤
Reminder that people are often advising us of what THEY believe to be the highest dreams that they can achieve for THEMSELVES. And like Stevie said, he deemed background and the best dream job, so often what others put on you isn’t with bad intentions, but just limited to what THEY BELIEVE can happen. ❤
I never told anyone that I wanted to be a background vocalist because I thought people would think I was aiming low or something weird. Thank you R&B Podcast and thank you @steviemackey, I don’t feel weird for having had that as my dream job/career. I knew we were friends in my head for a reason.😊
Same here!
Do that shit!
Me too...I've always wanted to be a background/session singer!
Agreed! Always wanted to be a bgv and people look at me like I’m crazy lol
Background vocalist are great . There's alot that sing better than who they're doing background singing for.
Protect J Valentine at all costs 🤩
SPECIAL REQUEST: add a segment w/3 part harmony to each episode! ❤️🔥🙏🏾
THIS!
Girl yes a Behind the Scenes where they sing and harmonize together with all of the guest on their favorite songs together.
That could be a spin off podcast for themmmmm, yassss🔥🔥🔥
That would be so dope!!! Like how they do Bloopers at the end of a movie, but it wouldn't be funny
Sis this the one 🔥💯💯🙌🏾
Bruh the mickey mouse impression is TOP TIER 🤣🤣🔥🔥
The wonders he did for Jlo voice is what made me understand the ability of this man, his gift and his talent. He sings amazing......thats an understatement.
The fact that Tank decided to study vocal greatness instead of getting into a shell when his aunty told him he was off is why he is the AUTHORITY, Him and Jay, The AUTHORITY in all things RNB!
J valentine is a real musician he studies the craft and he knows the history of music. I respect his break down on R&B. Much respect💪
He forgot Lisa Fischer...she is the one and core background singer who was so courageous the give us one of the best love song of all time "How can I Ease the Pain". The falsetto and runs in that one song is forever everlasting
Man!
HELLO!!!!
Indeed! Lisa Fisher is 🔥 fire!
Straight factsssss!!!
MY GOD!!! LISA IS A POWERHOUSE
The diversity of this podcast is unmatched 🙏🙏🙏💪🏾
Facts
Please don’t ignore Peabo Bryson and Glenn Jones. Tremendous vocalists
Peabo is a underrated legend.
OMGosh I went to RUclips a couple of months ago and reunited with Mr Glen Jones vocals. Haven’t stopped listening yet 😊 Watched a live concert of Peabo. So AMAZING!!
@@carolinewashington3574 you know singing
@@ramiahm underrated and unsung
Babyyyy yes because Peabo plays ZERO games, he's the truth 🙌🏾
Erykah Badu is a MUST for y'all show. Babyface, Kelly Rowland, Boy2Men, Monica, Ron Isley, Charlie FUCKING Wilson, Angie Stone, Stevie Wonder,Jennifer Hudson just to name a few
“If it was my last day on earth, I’d wanna be singing with my friends” I think a lot of us would agree. I get this
Only difference is your friends don’t sing like him and his😂
I love J. Valentine. He is so honest at all times!
WHOAH!! DARYL COLEY is a staple and a musical standard. He's the reason that I wanted to take vocal lessons and music theory. #2ndChronicles #WhenSundayComes.
Love love love how Stevie touched on the importance and influence of Detroit
This was amazing and FINALLY somebody acknowledged Joe because he has ALWAYS been a beast
ABSOLUTELY! I LOVE Him!!
You Betta Preach! I'll collect the offering🥰💯
Stevie's voice is a major blessing he really needs to release a album he also has a wonderful spirit aswell
He has a Christmas album out
@@bosscerena91 I kno I was referring to a regular album
I don’t know him that well, but I think he may not want what comes with that much success. Because being around people who are at that level, he knows what it comes with and he knows it’s price.
Yeeessss
@@757doc5 ohhh let me mind my business 🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🤣
"Your gift will make room for you" is Stevie personified on all levels 💐💐💐💐
To me personally, this is the best podcast right now. The conversations are so natural and everyone is just so in sync, there's never an awkward moment. It's beautiful, shout out to everyone involved in this I hope you guys keep growing.

By now, they’ve mentioned several times that it’s not that kind of podcast. It’s hella random…one day you might see Kevin Garnett as a guest.
& Summer Walker
And Durrand
Side note: we definitely Ryan Leslie! He was a huge influence back on the 2000s and so curious as to his music moves currently. But yall are killing it regardless 💗 tuned in every episode 🙌🥰
What an episode if they do it. I can see them vibing together good
LISTEN: That was some of the greatest advice given. You can’t be humble without knowing how to LISTEN first. Love it! Great interview! Amazing insight! ♥️🔥
Chile not me sitting here waiting for 9am! This podcast got me in a chokehold and i already listened to the audio!!!!
I do the same
This is so me...I put this podcast on while cooking Saturday morning breakfast. I CANNOT WAIT... love, love, love this #R&BMoney ❤❤❤
Anita Baker 💯💯💯 and I’ll admit I didn’t appreciate her until I was older‼️ Perfection 👌🏽
im begging for you guys to get #AveryWilson on here to share his amazing story & allow us the chance to further support his GOD BLESSED TALENTS
Let the Olympics interview Avery.
Great Episode Jay is the funniest guy ever I literally just sit and wait for the shit to fly out his mouth weekly 😂🤣😂🤣
Same here. He has me rolling every damn time 😂😂😂❤️💯
Damn I wish yall could've got Jesse Powell before he passed. RIP King🤴🏿
Oakwood University is a hidden gem. So much talent out of that HBCU.
I am thrilled that you interviewed Stevie. I am a huge fan of his Taco Tuesdays and always wondered about his backstory. His skill is an anointment and his perspective on music is fascinating. As a fan, it's wonderful to learn the science behind the art. This is what podcasts are made for. To be a fly-on-the-wall during experts' conversations. Keep it up! #rnbmoney
Exactly. This comment is underrated!
Let's not forget about the Clark sisters!!! Detroit's finest!
I put in a prayer that Disney will reach out to him amazing!
I agree with Mr Stevie Mackey, we LOOOVE knowing about the behind the scene, TRULY! It inspires everyone whether you want to make music or not, if you don't learn nothing from these stories, you learn about the grind and the PERSEVERANCE needed to accomplish anything. THANK YOU again, Tank and J Valentine!
True. If there are no behind the scenes players, there is no scene at all.
All of them are so easy on the eyes! Yes gawd!
💯💯
This podcast is the perfect combination of music, comedy, and history. All the weird facts and J saying wtf he want? Yeah, keep that! 😂🫶🏽. J comedy timing is what keeps me HOLLERING. I love it here. Never stop. WE NEED JAZ ON🎤
He could definitely be Mickey Mouse. I love how Stevie and Jamie Foxx can imitate anyone and anything. That's a very special gift and lost talent not many have.
Yall don’t miss!!! This interview was fire!! I honestly look forward to this podcast weekly. During certain periods of your life, there is sometimes an album that gets you through that time. This podcast is my soundtrack for nursing school. Thank you for this podcast!! 🔥❤️🩺
💯
This was such a good episode! I laughed so hard 😂. Also, J Valentine…we see you growing in your church culture, Sir! We see you 😊 Love to see it.
I would love to see Brandy!
Wonderful podcast! I was wondering if you could pay tribute to Jesse Powell, who was an underrated yet amazing vocalist and a huge asset to R&B.🙏🏽
Love Stevie Mackey! Great episode! Can we get Durand Bernarr and Amber Riley eventually?! That’d be everything
Durand🔥🔥🔥
When you love all things R&B, you love learning the history. I'm a 70's baby but having older parents (mother is 80 and father would have been 83), siblingd, aunts and uncles and even 1st cousins, I know music from the decades before me.
I'm glad J Valentine mentioned that he didn't name women among the top artist lists, a lot of guests have done that w/o it being pointed out. Also happy for Al Green mention bc I need to hear more appreciation of him!
I feel like it’s cuz he’s a man so he listened to more men to mimic n learn to sing. But i noticed that too but most people on the podcast say Whitney
Also finally someone mentioning Joe ❤️ loved that era with avant and Donell
We definitely need Sevyn Streeter on here! I would love to hear her story ❤
The best show on RUclips. We were raised on The Winans, Commissioned, James Cleveland and all the mass choirs!! This show is top notch. Keep it up fellas💓💓💓
Thank you guys so much for putting some respect on my city! Detroit's style does deserve to be studied
No doubt!
Stand Up Detroit
Damn right we do lol
I for one am waiting for this Christmas/Negro Spiritual/Lullaby album so I can sit down with my mulled wine, bible and pj’s and catch the spirit!!! Another great interview, thanks RNB Money!
He should just call it Gumbo 😂
Stevie Mackey new album should be called The wonderful world of Mackey‼💯😍
I knew this was going to be EPIC when I saw Stevie’s name. He can put out a Mickey Mouse thunder cat album, I’m here for it!
This podcast is pure Magic! Knew this episode would be amazing from the Mickey Mouse “shorts,” but as always, we get way more than we bargained for. He dropped so many gems and when you’re influenced by the gospel greats, nothing but incredible talent can come from that. Darryl Coley, John P Kee, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Commissioned, Anita, I mean, my God!! That “Amen,” theme song still SLAPS! Stevie is so humble, yet so talented, and I can’t wait for him to put himself out there on an even bigger level. The fact that his start was singing behind Lalah, come on 👏🏾. I love to hear Stevie and Avery Wilson sing together. I love to see Stevie at the piano, playing behind so many wonderful artists and promoting and loving on so many wonderful artists. We need more like him. His “top fives,” were great, and shout out to him making all efforts to save his reputation from a rapper doing the most 😩😂. Can’t say it enough, this podcast makes me feel good. Y’all are infectious and everything is always seamless. Nothing is ever forced. I don’t know how it’s not at a million subs already. Thank y’all for this, and I’ll continue to say it over and over again. Y’all make Saturday mornings better. I truly look forward to it every week. Thanks again for another fantastic episode 🥰 I know I’ve said a mouthful, but I’m so thankful for this and this podcast has helped me to get out of whatever low points that have been endured because of the things going on in the world. Looking forward to the next episode, as always 🥰
Thanks R&B Money for introducing me to the amazing Stevie Mackey 😍
You bet!
Omg when StevieMackey on R& B and Tank start talking about Maxwell oh my god that’s my guy I love me some Maxwell his vocal singing he is definitely a legend and is all right I got given gift to the ladies ❤ thank you thank you for mentioning Maxwell singing to Stevie on his birthday🎉 and to see the tears come from both of you brother‘s eyes I know that it was real because when I hear Maxwell I cried to😢 whenever and whenever that’s my song to all of his music is amazing comes from the heart he is definitely gifted it 🙏🏾🫶🏾💐💯🎤😘
I remember being soooo memorized seeing Stevie sing at my church for youth day's and special music.. hes definitely royaly in the seventh day Adventist world.. every time I seen him.. I was just in awe..
He IS mesmerizing! 😍🙌🏽
@@sha1841 😂😂😂❤
I'm VERY impressed with Stevie's knowledge of our musical history! 👊🏾 Play on playa!!
His daddy is one of us
Another great conversation!! Mickey Mouse impression was GREAT!!! Love love love!!!! I grew up Seventh Day Adventist, and Oakwood was and still the best!!!!!! Loved going there growing up.
Thanks for sharing!!
Oakwoodite here I was only there one year but everything Stevie said about the music department is true! 😂
Everytime I watch this podcast I learn something so thank you so much.... Please in the future add Teyana Taylor.
The energy y’all have with each other and the guests is amazing and enhances every aspect of this show! Much love!
Please get maxwell on theeee SHOW!!!!
ALL THINGS RNB BABY!!! Wheew!!!
That would be epic!!!
This was a very enlightening conversation. Keep it going RNB MONEY!! Mickey Mouse imitation was 😂
💯
Yooooo, I'm still shook from that but dead on.
Proud and honored to grow up with Stevie in church and gain him as a mentor and big brother 🙏🏾
As an r&b producer I can tell you this one for sure,, Strong backgrounds & harmonies is a must have!!! That can make the difference of your song sounding like a demo or a finish radio radio hit ,, example Tevin Campbell's Can We Talk such a simple song but it's the harmonies on the hook that brings it to the next level. I would go as far as to say groups like Guy, Jodeci and Boyz to Men made it mandatory moving forward in r&b music and pop music in general
I remember hearing Stevie sing week in and week out at church and Oakwood U in Huntsville, Alabama, back in the day. He has a great family and it's great to see how far his talent has taken him.
This by far is one of the coldest episodes yet!! My boy Stevie Mackey! Basically my entire family went to Oakwood. He and my brother N'Namdi Bryant were there together and worked out together, lil bro is cold too; check 'em out! But this was a very necessary interview to have! It was hilarious, you got the exclusive on lock and you gave the flowers to one of the rawest, coldest, and gifted G's in the game! Aye keep holding it down fellas! I love the podcast!
Much love & respect,
Wayde
I love listening to the podcast and then watch on Saturdays. To see their face expressions. J mannerisms gets me every time😂
I JUST LOVE Tank's personality
I think 2023…. We need a RnB Money podcast tour. I would love to be present for some of these. I definitely wanted Stevie to give another story. So excited for his album 👏🏽
Stevie is such a student of music. Listening to him is awe inspiring
R&B Money you've done it again!! Stevie Mackey is a gem and treasure that deserve the flowers that you have bestowed on him through this awesome interview!! I love the music advice, wisdom and history lessons of the industry that Stevie explained soooo well. He named some great vocalists as well such as Darryl Coley, Karen Clark Sheard,James Brown, Commissioned,Avery Wilson etc. ❤️💰❤️💰
I've never heard of Steve Mackey but heard him with J Lo the other day. This podcast answered all of my questions and more. Amazing y'all 👏🏾
Stevie is all FACTS purely! A true professional. I have been waiting on someone to pick his brain and heart! Thank you R & B Money
R&B lives in everything and everyone.
You listen to music in everything you do: cleaning, beauty salon, shopping, you name it.❤❤
Low KEYYYYY…… Mickey Soul would go PLATINUM!!!! 💯🙌🏽👀
Luke James is epic his vocal ability his range his sex appeal his humbleness it all permeates in his vocal ability it just who's the thing of it is is when he first came out it's a solo artist and not a background singer I think the music wasn't written well for him the story wasn't written well for him now I've heard some more contemporary more recent stuff that the music is extremely well written for him however I don't know what's going on we're not hearing him maybe because he's given that Gemini energy you know the shy humble thing when at the end of the day he's a beast and the vocal Realm he was on some award show I can't remember which one it was and he killed it and I'm like wow I didn't really give him his just do
Come on with the history lesson, Mackey!!!!! 👍🏽💪🏾
Stevie is a living legend. ❤
I just love this whole podcast
Yesss 👏🏽❤️💐
Ok Tank, classic Physique 2023 let's go!
I love this! The peek behind the scenes is fascinating! Gotta get Maxwell on here.
Stevie Mackie is a vocal BEAST! It's great to hear his back story and insight.
Stevie Mackey is a gem. I love his Taco Tuesdays!! He’s voice and piano skills are top tier. I hope he comes out with an album one day 🫶🏽
That definitely is a great documentary!!
GREAT episode! Lots of rnb gems! That story about Detroit’s past singers singing with their heart and soul coming from a real place because of the blacks from the south going north makes a lot is sense!
This podcast is sooooo special!!!!!!!! I'm awestruck by how MANY gifted vocalists and musicians we have been privy to!
My moment was my mom hearing me sing Tina Marie at age 6. This is getting me excited to get voice lessons for me and my now 6 year old daughter ❣️
We will be in somebody's choir! So inspiring.
Stevie!!! We are here for a Soulful Disney Album. That would be fire 🔥🔥🔥 With a Mickey Mouse interlude lol ❤
I love Stevie Mackey! I took his online vocal training course.. This has been my favorite episode thus far 💜
Every time I watch an episode I think this is the best one yet, and you all continue to top yourself over and over again. Best podcast I've ever seen!!!!
Shout out to "Daryl Coley". I love the gospel music influence in the discussions here.......
He should put out an album, don't travel but have specials with him and his favorite friends to sing with him.
I’m rolling with Cho Mickey 😂😂😂 Tank is hilarious!!!!
Didn’t know how much we needed this episode
Background singers are CRUCIAL. The ones who made the most impression on me was Luther Vandross background singers. AAAAHHH MAZING!!!!!!!!!
Love the respect they put on Detroit singers!
Didn’t mention The Dramatics, Enchantment…EJ can’t be touched on Soprano ❤
I luvvvvvv this show!!!!!
Love this podcast! Great episode. My suggestions for future guests: Anita Baker, Angela Winbush, Tevin Campbell, Keith Sweat, Evelyn Champagne King, Maxwell, and Charlie Wilson, just to name a few 😊
All of these especially Angela Winbush Alexa play Angel oooooooh lol
Ok Stevie!! Gospel, Broadway, R&B + Disney = I’m here for it!!
Oo thank your tank for asking about the Mickey Mouse voice overs audition I was wondering too. I’m happy to here about his journey.
I knew it was about to be a situation when I saw Mr. Mackey on the thumbnail! I always learn something when I watch yall, and that documentary about background singers is IT!!!! I 👏🏾 LOVE 👏🏾 THIS 👏🏾 PODCAST 👏🏾!!!! As always, looking forward to the next one!
💯
Yeah that would be delicious
J showed his heart in this episode!
