On Target

This week on On Target, Mod Marty reminds us that all great music is connected—it's all meat from the same bone. Soul, R&B, mod, rock, and jazz may wear different clothes, but they share the same heartbeat. This set traces those connections one record at a time, proving that every great groove leads naturally to another. Listen closely, and you'll hear the family resemblance.
