More from the Soulful Party Peoples’ Holy Trinity of Jackson progeny, Prince and Stevie. The latin diaspora gets more love along with the Black President

It’s been a while…
This one has been sitting on ice because I wanted to tweak the transitions and selection a bit, which would essentially mean doing it over. Well, that was almost 3 months ago and I’ve reconciled myself to the fact that it isn’t going to happen. I tend to get a bit anal when I freestyle a mix instead of planning it out because I get hung up on how it could be better. There are a couple mixes in line behind #10 so I’ll stop obsessing for the sake of everyone’s iPods.
