Born to an African-American mother and a Filipino father on 16th Oct, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York, Sugar Pie DeSanto is a veteran blues and R&B singer and songwriter. Sister of Domingo Balinton, Sugar Pie grew up in SF, California. Among her childhood friends was a girl named Jamesetta Hawkins, who would later become famous as Etta James. They were friends who eventually explored the music world together.

In the 1950s & 60s, she toured with both Johnny Otis and James Brown, collaborated with Etta James, married Alvin Parham, (a.k.a. Pee Wee Kingsley), and changed her name to Peylia Parham. After the divorce from Parham, she moved to Chicago, where she kept on recording successfully and writing songs for other artists, often along with Shena DeMell.

In 1960, her single “I Want to Know”, reached number four on Billboard’s Hot R&B chart. She recorded the song with her husband, Pee Wee Kingsley. Soon after their marriage ended DeSanto moved to Chicago and signed with Chess Records in 1962 as a recording artist and writer. Among her recordings for Chess were “Slip-in Mules” (an “answer song” to “Hi-Heel Sneakers”), “Use What You Got”, “Soulful Dress” (her biggest hit for Chess), and “I Don’t Wanna Fuss”.

She was given a Bay Area Music Award in 1999 for Best Female Blues Singer. In September 2008, she was given a Pioneer Award by the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. She received a lifetime achievement award from the Goldie Awards in November 2009."

might sign off with this wonderful song . . . . 

I think the one truly great thing about American TV series is that so many seem to have brilliant people choosing how to fit music around the narrative and I am thinking Netflix series I have seen Prodigal Son (with our Martin Sheen, Stranger Things and Breaking Bad but also the quiet er ones like The Good Doctor which featured this and if you get the “parade” you’ll get it!

😉

and therefore as is my won’t here’s a live version

VA - Traffic Sounds (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs) | Butterboy

Traffic- Evening Blue

The main thrust of Butterboy’s thesis is contained within . . . . . here

VA - Traffic Sounds (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

Butterboy says:

SOUND OF TRAFFIC

VA - Traffic Sounds (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

There are moments in music when everything slows down, not because the tempo drops, but because the musicians have stepped into a deeper room. A room where the air is warm, the groove breathes, and emotion becomes something you can hold in your hands. Traffic lived in that room. They didn’t visit it, they built it. And for those of us who respond to that atmosphere, that humid, analog, slow‑burn magic, their work becomes a compass. Traffic Sounds is built around that compass.

This anthology works because its emotions obey laws as real as gravity. Each Traffic anchor track creates its own emotional climate, humid groove, rhythmic fire, quiet melancholy, or bittersweet glow, and every song that follows is chosen because it naturally falls into that orbit. Nothing is forced. Nothing is stretched. The music gathers around each anchor the way warm air gathers around a flame, forming a world with its own temperature, its own atmosphere, and its own direction of movement. These songs breathe the same analog air, move with the same inward patience, and reveal themselves slowly, the way human truth always does. They are bound together not by genre, but by feel, the deep, human feel that Traffic mastered.

Across all four discs, the emotional physics remain constant, interplay instead of competition, warmth instead of sharpness, honesty instead of performance. Every track listens, leans, and lives inside the same slow‑burn universe. By allowing Traffic to appear only as the opening gravitational mass, the set creates a beautiful symmetry, Traffic defines the space, and every other artist inhabits it with respect and authenticity. The result is a seamless emotional landscape, one that feels alive, human, and quietly luminous. This is a curated environment, a place where the listener can step inside and experience the full spectrum of Traffic’s emotional gravity through the voices of many.

Seventy‑four artists, seventy‑four perspectives, all breathing the same air. Every track is a match to its anchor. Every selection carries the same emotional weight, the same sonic warmth, the same human truth. 

If you’ve lived with Traffic, you already know the room I’m talking about. If you’re new to it, this anthology is your doorway. Either way, what you hold here is a faithful exploration of that world, a set built with care, intention, and respect for the music that inspired it.

Taken together, they form a single emotional map, a complete sonic universe built around the deepest qualities of Traffic’s music. Welcome to Traffic Sounds.

Take your time. Let it unfold. Let it breathe. Let it speak. (Butterboy)
