Content

This month, we're celebrating Black History month. We first solicited suggestions from a variety of genres over on the discord server. The 21 options that are included here are the most up-voted suggestions that we received.

Please vote for up to 6 that you think should be included in our video.

(If I end up deciding to include any of these suggestions on the YouTube channel this month, I'll omit it in the final tabulations here.)

This poll is active through Sunday evening, and I plan to record the episode sometime next week.

If you're interested, there are music club listening events (including more songs from black artists) happening this coming Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon on the discord server. Cheers!

Here's an unlisted YouTube playlist with all these selections: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO0n3LrUjxKoS-04deDLw4MDGASdNnz9J

The Marvin Gaye “Detroit Mix” is an excellent remix of the original album.

I'm specifically not voting for stuff that you've already announced will be in regular rotation. Great slate of choices here!

Eusebio R-Z

I do hope Sinnerman makes it to the final list. I think it will be fun for Doug. Whether he's reacting to it for the first or for the umpteenth time, it probably won't make much difference, he'll enjoy the POWER!!!

While there's a chance it may be blocked on the channel, I do want to point out that Dr. Doug intends to put Purple Rain on the channel this Friday. He said if he does use some of the top FF poll vote getters on the channel, he'll retabulate the results. Does that mean the current 60 votes for Purple Rain won't count towards anything? And if so, do those who voted for Purple Rain want to possibly consider putting their votes elsewhere, so all of their votes are counted? I'll admit, I'm still hoping Strange Fruit and Living For The City make the channel. But until Dr. Doug announces them as doing so, like he did with Purple Rain, those two have my poll vote for sure.

Well, we've had Gentle Giant, so I'd say having Coltraine is a Step in the right direction :P Seriously lots of great musicians here to look forward to hopefully including my favorite guitarist of all time

If one of these makes the main channel, I'd consider the votes here part of the support that made that release happen.

UPDATE: I recorded Voodoo Child (Slight Return) for Thursday's YT episode, and it has been blocked. I'm planning to upload it to Patreon and release it here. SO...I won't be including Voodoo Child in the FF video. :)

So, those who currently voted for Voodoo Child and Purple Rain could come back and switch their votes from those two to something else before the poll closes if they wish, since Voodoo Child will not be part of Fan Favorites and Purple Rain won't either, regardless of if it appears on the channel or potentially as a Patreon reaction due to being blocked?

It may be late, but how about Gil Scott Herion: The Revolution Will not be televised

Matthew Hackbert

This poll comes from all of the suggestions in the #fan-favorites channel in the Discord. So by the time you see it here, it will always be too late. We would love to see you participate in the Discord community!
