“The Love Reunion” The Eighth Album Of Raheem Devaughn
BY: SARO
One Crisp Afternoon In The Year 2005, I Fell In Love While Listening To The Triscina Grey Midday Show. Swept Off My Feet By The Falsetto Tones Of What I Deemed Could Only Be Of An Angel, “The Love Experience” Acquired My Heart Like A Quiet Storm. The Song Was “Guess Who Loves You More” And It Brought The Electrifying Voice Of Singer/Songwriter Raheem Devaughn Into My Life Forever.
Right Away I Found That My Heart Wasn’t The Only One He Had Captured, As The Grammy® Award Nominated Artist Was Establishing His Name Across The Globe. It Wasn’t Long Before Destiny Prevailed With My Upgrade To A Weekly Relationship At Takoma Station Tavern (Washington, D.C), Where Raheem Would Perform Live In A Personal Setting. The Notorious “Cotton Club Sundays” Was The Place The Great “Radio Raheem” Himself Actually Serenaded Me On My Birthday.
Eight Albums And Fifteen Years Later, Listening To His Latest Work Of Art Proves That My Fire
For His Art Still Burns Intensely. If You Too Are A Fanatical Admirer Of The “Love King”, This Fourteen-track Album, Featuring ‘the Colleagues, Mike Philips, Doug E. Fresh’ And A Tribute To Marvin Gaye, Is Proof That He Has The Power To Remain Quality Consistent. After Three Spins Of “The Love Reunion” I Faced The Fact That I Had No Favorite Song, Because Truthfully Each One Delighted Me Equally.
“Mann What! Good Work And Great Job On His 8th Album!” Agreed Gene Pratt, Singer/Songwriter/Musician And Godfather To My Son, While On Our Most Recent Phone Call. “I Met Raheem Long Ago At ‘The ‘Go-Go Awards’ when I Was With Suttle Thoughts Band And Then Again When He Sang The S.H.!.T. Outta Donny Hathaway’s Song At Chuck Brown’s funeral. I Absolutely Support Him And Hope He Continues To Keep Them Coming,” Pratt Continued, Cheering On His Fellow Award Winning Washingtonian.
With Intention Of Enjoying “The Love Reunion” Countless Times, I Am Excited With Thoughts Of The Adventures I Will Encounter Along The Way. The Consistent Soul Quaking Compositions Of Raheem Devaughn Confirm Him To Be My Melodic Heartthrob For Evermore.

I danced. I sang. I “Aye”-d. I did it all and it was one of the most fun concerts I’ve gone to. I also learned a lesson that I must share.
