Bali

Organic soundscapes, field recordings and melodic ambience from composer Sophia Zhuravkova.

San Francisco

An auditory exploration with SF native Mishka ranging from synth pop and balearic to softrock and global dance gems. One hour, once a month, with love.

The Ovations

The Ovations

The Ovations has been played on NTS in shows including Asher G's Caribbean Memories, featured first on 9 March 2020. Songs played include Too Much War.

Despite having only one Top Ten R&B hit, the Ovations were a superb Southern soul trio. The original group featured Louis Williams and made some great ballads that were sung so vividly and produced in such raw fashion that they never reached the wider soul market. Though they reached the R&B charts twice during the late '60s (with "It's Wonderful to Be in Love" and "Me and My Imagination"), the group eventually disbanded. By 1971, a new trio had resurfaced, with former Nightingales Rochester Neal, Bill Davis, and Quincy Billops, Jr. A remake of Sam Cooke's "Having a Party" in 1973 gave them their lone Top Ten R&B hit.
