In the immortal words of Lakeside…

“We just want you to feel (We just want you to feel…)
nothing but pleasure. Musical pleasure.
‘Cause music is a world of fantasy. 
Let’s live it together. Musical pleasure…
(Dance in the sunshine.) Take a load off of your mind.
Our music is very real (So very real)
Truly a treasure! Musical treas-ure!”

“So hey, come on, come along, take a ride…” and let DJ Black Icon 1, MamaSoul and The L.A.W. be your musical conductors as you get onboard…The Harlem Connection. Departing from the New York City station, WBAI 99.5FM and WBAI.org, Friday nights from 10-Midnight.
