Shalewa Sharpe is an effing boss! I'm so happy that she made time to be on the show.
You can follow her on twitter, instagram and facebook; check out the podcast (The War Report with Gastor and Shalewa) that she hosts with friend of TVK Gastor Almonte or listen one of her comedy albums Stay Eating Cookies or So, You Just Out Here? There's also a tonne of her material on Youtube including this legendary interaction between her, the late Chadwick Boseman and Jimmy Fallon. I repeat, funny, funny and smart SMART.
Unfortunately, I had to edit out a fantastic explanation that Shalewa gave about the musical significance of John Hendrix, his trio Lambert Hendrix and Ross and the vocalese movement that they were a major part of but, if you're interested you should at the very least listen to the whole version of Gimmie That Wine either before or after you hear Shalewa's story.
Make sure you follow The Volume Knob on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or at our website volumeknob.net.
And if you have a story about the song that saved your life be sure to send it to me at volumeknobpod@gmail.com.
