10th Annual R&B Weekend
Eagerly waiting to attend the 10th Annual R&B Weekend….have not missed one yet and, hopefully, will be in attendance at this one…..Great lineup of entertainment so far.
I love the music combo you give, I want this
I love the music combo you give, I want this combo to present to clients and promote your site as the source, its the romantic set that I am focused on. of course I need your permission and of course the music s well…what’s the numeration on that music set.
Also I have already turned others on to the LOVE ZONE. YOU ARE VERY GOOD.
Here, it seems you are over modulated your tone is good but the voice volume don’t match the volume of the songs, too high, but what you present is good quality keep it up.
My history is KCHU FM, DALLAS, TX
SHOW, REFLECTIONS, 12-6A
Loving this Old School R&B Music
The Love Zone is killing it. The music the chat room and being able to watch Maurice The Voice Watts do his thing. Very relaxing after a long week. I very much enjoy it and can’t for Friday night to get here. Maurice Watts you are the greatest. Epic will always remember…..:-)
Song is sweet!
Sweet song
Beautiful Rendition
Enjoyed the song very much. Reminded of those great DoWop days. Bass singing was impressive.
Life is Incomplete without Old School R & B
Hello Maurice,
One of my patients told me about your LoveZone24/7 app and I am forever grateful. I absolutely love hearing the music I grew up with and the songs I never got the chance to hear. The way the songs seamlessly flow into the next, creating a mellow mood well, the feeling of contentment is indescribable. I have told many people about LoveZone and they tell others…the reaction is always the same. “Wow! Thanks for turning me on to the site.” You definitely have been blessed with a gift. Don’t stop the music. BTW I am purchasing a T-shirt and the DVD 30 yrs behind the mic for my man. I know he will love it because he is a black history buff and a walking encyclopedia when it comes to history about various recording artists. Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Debra
Always A Great Time
Just a simple “Thank You” for many years of enjoyment in music promotion. I make sure I don’t miss the AC, NJ concerts! It’s always a great time and it actually brings family and friends together at a peaceful, healthy environment. Please don’t stop! Ever!

Hi
Hello Mo’ hope all is well looking forward to first Friday with the awesome music 🎶
New listener
I have been aware of this station for only a short time. However, when I sat down and actually listened, I was instantly “hooked”. I couldn’t move. The songs that I loved from days gone by kept flowing. I just sat and got lost in the music. So, keep them coming, and I WILL be listening.
Great song!
Great song both voices are jamming , keep up the good work.
Congratulations
God blessed you with that voice to share it with the world. Great job brother. Wish you much success.

R&B Music
Just wanted to thank you for keeping R&B music alive and relevant I was listening to Ali Woodson this morning and was so glad that I had his music in my collections of cd’s there is nothing better, God gives all of us a gift and I am so grateful to the people who have the gift to sing share their gift with the world and people like yourself keeps their music alive. I pay for every cd that I love and I truly believe that artist should be paid for their talent This is how they make a living and provide for their families Listening to Ali Woodson sing Misty Morning gave me chills. So thank you very much for providing us with the sound of music. Music connects the world in a way nothing else can.
Wishing you and family Happy Holidays!

Best Love Music in Town
Very relaxing music to end a week
“O” – “G”
originally from roanoke, va. presently living in san diego ca. not much old school soul music in this area, so a friend that I met in Roanoke, back in the 70’s, Clifford waldemar, now residing in new jersy, introduced me the the love zone; now I can grove to some old school r&b when I feel it.
The Love Zone:
Hi, Voice–I always enjoy the Love Zone whenever I can. It’s wonderful hearing all of the great music. God willing, I’m on my way to the R & B Show in the Poconos in November! (A little birthday present from me to me.)
Blessings to you and your family,
Juanita Bethea (Msjayelbee)

I love this song!
It feels good ol days like a time of DECCA Records. I was very surprised that Maurice was singing!!

Hello GENTLEMEN 🙂
Just stopping by tuning…getting in from a driving in a rainstorm…I missed my song being so late coming onboard I guess…:)
Lovin it
That sounded beautiful. You sounded great on there. I’m from old school just kind of music I like and I’m from the old neighborhood. Also keep doing what you’re doing bro.
Hellllllllllllllo Moe!
It’s been many years since I spoke with you. I was part of your chat back in 2005. I remember Endless, CB, Howie D just to name a few. Good to know somethings remain!
Enjoyed the AC music festival yesterday
Keep it up!!!!
KEEP PLAYING…
SENSATIONAL MUSIC…MAURUCE captures the essence of old school through the music he plays. So many fond memories flood my mind as I listen to the smooth rhythm of the oldies…
Nothing specific
I love having 24/7 slow jams it’s calming when the world around me is full of Madness and chaos
The love zone
The place for real music and memories.
Enjoyed your Family
We lived in the same building 820 Jackson Ave. Enjoyed your family musical group. Worshiped at the same church. Love Katie & Mickey
Your radio show
I love your show|!
11th Annual Oldies but Goodies @ Hershey Lodge
Had an awesome time met new friends and enjoyed the artists. I have a suggestion regarding late night Buffet. The hot wings are too spicy for some of us can you have wings without the sauce and have the spicy sauce on the side? Keep up the awesome work you’re doing. God Bless. Also would have loved to have been able to purchase CD’s from all of the recording artists, ie. Stylistics, Blue Magic.
Hello
I have missed The Love Zone Chat room, but always have 24/7 locked down listening all the time. Hope to get to see all the love zone family this friday before I go to work since I’m back home. Hope to see you Maurice soon. Have a wonderful day……:-) 🙂 :-):-)

I purchaseed not only the CD over again but a total of 3. I never did it the borrowed CD back from my daughter.

LOVE ZONE
I’M HERE EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT,WOULDN’T MISS IT.
Missing Hearing the LOVE ZONE.
Hello Maurice ..I have been a fan and a long time listener of the LOVE ZONE since the early ’90s and found it by accident…always love the old school songs that you and Howie played….I even stay and listen to those following programs after your shows…even got lots of those old albums ( still in mint condition )… haven’t listen to your radio show in about several years since I moved further up in the Bronx area. One of the MAIN REASON is that I hear 2 other radio stations homing on the same frequency and both of them are college radio stations : one broadcast out of Jersey and the other from LONG ISLAND. .I’ve been meaning to stop by City College and inform your general manager about it…anyway I am glad that you got your website ..I can still listen to the sweet soul music…thanks for the memories…peace.
Great Song

Crys, The Song🕊🎙️
Tis wonderful that you, Maurice, are at the helm of such wonderful “Old-School” Sides! We have been rolling for quite a few years, with The National R&B Society and it’s been wonderful. We had a wonderful time at Gardner’s Basin. Thank you for your positive vibes! So happy to be onboard the Maurice “The Voice Watts’ Love Zone” Train!
Sincerely,
Crys, The Song
Please add me
I loved your radio show and I love what you do.
Lilacs in the rain
Such a wonderful rendition of a warm and beautiful classic.. Maurice “The voice” Watts, and Russell Tompkins Jr. have done a marvelous job of renewing and bringing to life The marvelous harmonies, crisp falsetto and smooth round Cognac baritone. Reminiscent of a warm cozy Christmas evening spent by the fireplace. Excellent performance.
I am in my zone when I tune in to the love zone
I just love tuning in and vibing out with the Love Zone after a hectic work week. They play the classic music that I know and love. Maurice Watts and DJ Howie D keep the classics coming. Ahhh Yeahhh.

Love the love zone
Love listening to you. Sorry not going to join you in December next year will be a go. Hope you move it back to Hershey. Take care and be safe
No better way to spend a Friday Night!
I’m sitting here listening to the show and it amazes me at how many different emotions your show can evoke in me in 4 hours 🙂 Your show and the timeless music you play brings me home from a hectic work week and reminds me of all the beautiful positive things I have to be thankful for. I have met some of the most caring pleasant incredible people through the LZ chat room and think of all of you as family. The Love Zone is truly about spreading love, remembering when music had that same message and to go back to a time when things were simpler. I absolutely love the Love Zone and of course my friend The Voice. Keep doing what you do so well… Always starting my weekends off right! Hugs to you and all in the LZ family.

Wonderful Song
An absolutely awesome job by Russell Thompkins and Maurice Watts. A proper and reverent homage to an already wonderful song and era of music history. Made all the more stunning by the debut of Maurice’s singing voice (who knew?). A gem for all who love music.

The Love Zone
Love listening to the Love Zone bring back old memory of the old song. And if you misplace any of the songs that mean so much you can all way found them at the Love Zone. I really appreciate Maurice Keep on keep the music!
Nice website Moe!!!
Congrats on your new website!! When is the next party??
Remake of a Classic Song!
Stuart and I listened to this classic song from the late 40s/early 50s and was very impressed on how Russell (one of the best tenors ever) and Maurice (new to recording a lead on a song), captured that same feel of the original recording by The Ravens. It’s such a beautiful song that all music lovers can appreciate.
Awesome job!!
Absolutely Amazing!
Thanks for sharing! It is absolutely amazing! Your voice is incredible!
I love you!❤️
Congrats from The Ebonys
Congratulations on your project.
Took Me Back
Took me back! Great memories listening to the song. Cool and classy! Smooth leaving me smiling.
An Excellent Musical Journey Back To The Past
I’m a ’60s kid & if you grew up in early-60s New York, you still heard the music of The Drifters, The Coasters, The Moonglows, Johnny Ace, The Flamingos, Jesse Belvin, Charles Brown, The Orioles & all of the “bird” groups, to name but a few, in your home.
I saw this announcement & being an unabashed fan & friend of Russell Thompkins Jr., I had to check this out.
A listen to this song made me smile, because it brought back memories of being a pre-school kid, sitting in our living room, when my mother would play these songs, as well as memories of my pre-teen years, when my mother still played those 78’s & the Rock & Roll craze was kicking in with the Dick Clark LPs, ushered in by movies like The Lords Of Flatbush, American Graffiti, shortly followed by TV shows like Happy Days.
This song has that 1954 Flamingos/Moonglows/Ravens/Drifters type of vibe. I won’t compare Russell to any of those pioneering falsetto tenors, because Russell Thompkins Jr. has his own style, besides which, Russell has always given credit to his forbears. But, it was nice to hear Maurice in an entirely different element, getting his Jimmy Ricks/Bill Pinckney on.
This is the sound that nudged us forward from Gospel, the blues, into the R&B era, which led directly into one of the most dynamic eras of music, bar none…the SOUL ERA.
Listening to this song is like seeing an long-lost old friend & if you grew up with this sound as I did, it’s familiar, comforting & soothing.
I only wish that today’s generation were able to really hear music such as this & to be able to appreciate music that actually features something called melody, lyrical content, modulations, chord changes & more than that, love.
I love this song & this is a great job all around.
Love your voice
DC4L to the Voice

Doo Wop Still Alive
I listened to ” Lilacs In The Rain” it brought back memories of my Doo Wop days. I especially liked hearing Russell bringing back the sounds of the Styalistics, and that great bass voice. Hope to hear more songs in the near future. Thanks, Johnny B

Awesome
My girlfriends (2) and I attended the 13th Annual Classic R&B Weekend Concert which was amazing! We had so much fun! We ate, danced, sang along with the music artists until our voices was sore! Plus, our bus won the competition contest which landed us on the second row seats to the concert!! We are looking forward to next year! We were not able to get the t-shirts, because I did not get an email giving the option to buy them! Actually, the only email I received was confirming payment! Are the t-shirts available for purchase? I would like to get 3! Thank you for a wonderful time! See you next year!! Much love, Melody
CONGRATULATIONS COUSIN!
Congratulations Maurice….Much continued success….keep up the great work….
Sweet
A nice old-school sound. I love it.

Thanks
My dad Bobby Dunn introduced me to your show. Always spoke very highly of you. Keep up the good work and bring the music. My good buddy John Dais sent me a picture you and my dad took together it brought back fond memories. Thanks!
Moe’s doing Moe than playing music
Sounds like you might need someone to design a situation to import this particular piece into a movie along with the possibilities of commercial product endorsement— get em Moe
-AMEN-
Pristine and Innovative!
The show and everything else with it has grown since my first experience in the Love Zone studios during the hugely successful Love Zone show back in 2003! Still a fan and friend of the show after all these years! I have made purchases in the easy to use Voice Distribution stores and the customer service is awesome…fast shipping is the best feature! Not to mention the many events I’ve attended over the years! The website is awesome! I can now view it on my iPhone with no issues! Thanks Maurice and as always, best wishes for more great things to come ur way!
Congratulations 🎊
That was sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! Both you guys has some beautiful voices.
REMEMBERING THE QUEEN
SAYING GOODBYE TO ARETHA FRANKLIN
We lost another iconic legend of the music industry and when my good friend Earline Franklin the Queen of Soul's sister in law asked me to be there for her I was on the next plane out. That's what friends do for each other. R.I.P. Aretha Franklin. Your music will live forever on The Love Zone. [Video Credit: TIME Magazine]
BACKSTAGE AT ARETHA FRANKLIN’S MUSICAL!
It was an honor to co-host this historical event. Here's a few photos and concert scenes. R.I.P. Aretha Franklin. Special thanks to Earline Franklin. [Concert Footage Credit: Chene Park]
