Only Uploads From Original CD's & Vinyl in HQ !
In remembrance of DeWayne Julius Rogers better known as D.J. Rogers (May 9, 1948 - August 22, 2020) was born in Los Angeles, California. He was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist.
He was best known for the tender acoustic piano-based ballad "Say You Love Me," a charting single from his 1975 RCA album "It's Good to Be Alive". Natalie Cole's cover of the song was the first single from her album "Snowfall in The Sahara", released by WEA and Elektra Entertainment in June 1999. Rogers had a string of popular R&B albums in the 70s and several songs that are revered more than four decades after their release, including the dramatic midtempo top 20 hit, “Love Brought Me Back.”
During that decade he recorded on the RCA, Total Experience, and Columbia labels, each time delivering solid performances and memorable songs. He also worked with Deniece Williams, Maurice White, and Patrice Rushen. By the 90s and into the new millennium, Rogers was principally performing Gospel music.
We last heard from him in 2012, when he contributed his recognizable vocals to the hit "Whoa to Wow" with Renee Spearman. Rogers was part of a community of talented artists who brought both gospel and jazz sensibilities to 70s R&B, in many ways predating the adult soul movement that would dominate much of the mid-80s urban radio. His contribution was far more significant than his fame, and he is to be thanked for helping usher in a particularly rich era for soul music.
Here is a track taken from D.J. Rogers album "Talking Truth" for Elektra Records in 1993. Produced and Arranged by D.J. Rogers himself and executively produced by Carole Childs, an Elektra Records A&R Executive who had an ongoing affair throughout the late 80s and 90s with singer, songwriter Bob Dylan. The album "Talking Truth" was never released. Enjoy!
