Padgett vividly remembers listening to the demo on the drive home from the studio around 3am. It was pouring down rain and she was so excited from having recorded her first record at age 21 that she lost control of her car on the slick streets and nearly crashed!\n\nA 12” disco single of “Sugar Daddy” was pressed up in support of the LP and it created quite a buzz (despite her name being misspelled on the cover and labels.) Padgett remembers a local Pepsi Cola TV & radio advert featured the music. The commercial was apparently filmed on the Ft Lauderdale beachfront and included Navy Sailors in uniform that just happened to be docked nearby. Padgett danced up to a vending machine that was parked in the sand, slapped it, and received a glass bottle of soda. After the success of “Sugar Daddy,” Padgett and her band were whisked off to Belize for live dates. After landing at the Belize airport, she was picked up in a taxi and the commercial played on the radio in the cab.\n\nWhile Padgett never quite topped the heights of “Sugar Daddy,” she boasts a great musical resume and continues to perform and record. She has performed and shared the stage with Little Beaver, Gwen & George McCrae, K.C. & The Sunshine Band, Latimore, Jimmy Bo Horne, Jackie Moore, Joe Tex, Denise LaSalle, The Impressions, Bobby Bland, Joe Simon and ZZ Hill.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3550165, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550165/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T19:53:30-07:00", "show": 64502, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64502/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Forever", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Roslyn & Charles", "artist_ids": [ "cb290ccd-fffe-49eb-8458-c950b54ca04c" ], "album": "Everything Must Change LP", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "Cheri" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "1981-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Roslyn & Charles released \"Forever\" on their 1981 album Everything Must Change, the duo's crossover album that blended the spiritual fervor of gospel with the danceable grooves of soul.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3550164, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550164/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T19:49:41-07:00", "show": 64502, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64502/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Running Wild", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Sunrise Movement", "artist_ids": [], "album": "Think About Number One", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "Sound of Champions" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "2004-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Sunrise Movement originally released \"Running Wild\" with Ghetto Productions, but Sound of Champions included the track on their in-house promo, Think About Number One, in 2004.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3550163, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550163/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T19:46:12-07:00", "show": 64502, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64502/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3550162, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550162/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T19:42:40-07:00", "show": 64502, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64502/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Let It Shine", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Faith", "artist_ids": [], "album": null, "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": null, "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": null, "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3550161, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550161/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T19:38:27-07:00", "show": 64502, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64502/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Party", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Ego Tripp", "artist_ids": [], "album": null, "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "G.B.I.
