Juice,
As I said before and I stand by my word, you always have and I know you always will work in a "spirit of excellence." In my humbled opinion, you don't owe anyone an explanation on what you...
Thanks Juice for the "spirit of excellence" in which you work. As always, this is a work of art and a great tribute to a one of the finest bass singers ever, Mr. Blue Lovett. He will never be...
The best of the best. Another one of pioneers has now past. He will never be forgotten.
Dear Sis,
Words can't describe the heartbreak we all feel. Sir Jimmy was a shining example of how to succeed against all odds. And he did so with love, even to those who did him the greatest...
Let's keep it there....
#17..."Neither one of us" by Gladys Knight and the Pips
The first time I say this one ever. I was in Vietnam during that time, so you know, after 45 years, this is indeed a treat for me. Thanks for sharing.
tsull1, I like your style.
There is an old gospel song that has the words, "give me my flowers while I can yet smell them, so that I can know they comfort they bring."
My point, there are still some "icons, giants,...
He was indeed an very funny and an extremely smart man, who paved the way for many others to follow. He is indeed one to be remembered.
MotownSteve....I would also include The Dells as an exception.
Sounds good. Sounds real good.
Moms Mabley was without a doubt, "the funniest woman in the world." She was ahead of her counterparts of that era, including Phyllis Diller, Tottie Fields and others. Her timing was incredible and...
What an amazing voice! What an amazing group! There will never be another group like The Dells. Marvin will indeed be missed, as are Johnny Funches and Johnny Carter.
Hey Nosey.....
I remember hearing you on that show as well. I will always remember how humble and down to earth he was and how he made you feel that you were real important and a friend. We even...
Just saw the news on Facebook and I was shocked. I was just thinking about the honor I had of speaking with him on a radio broadcast about two or three years ago. I was just playing "All night...
Can't forget about the late, great Ron Banks of the Dramatics.
Ahhh...Smitty. Now he is one to be remembered. He had a style that was all his own. I guess today you would all it "swag." The way he could phrase a song was unbelievable. For thos who never...
Hey Sis.....
Yes, I'll never forget those shows at the Brevoort of the Albee in Brooklyn. Not to mention the fact that we were there at the same time, I'm sure. Besides, if memory serves me...
It's like Smokey said..."Time flies when you're having fun"
It seems like just yesterday, I saw them at the Apollo, five young men who had a unique sound and some of the faciest foot work of any...
I've always liked them. Now I have a new found love and respect for the Whispers. They are the prototype of what a group should be and how they should treat each other.
Great singer, Excellent showman, but was underrated in many ways. He will be missed.
D L Hughley. Now he is great at comedy and he's not a bad actor. But dancing??? I wish him all the best and who knows????
To Damon:
You fought the good fight of faith and you battled that cancer to the end.
Thank you for your warrior spirit.
This was truly long overdue, but well worth it. It is great to see how the children of Eddie, Melvin Paul and David have matured into fine adults. Needless to say, I was very impressed with Melvin...
You have a great memory, Soul Sister. I remember all of those places and a couple of more, like the Blue Coronet on Fulton Street between Bedford and Nostrand, there was also a club on Fulton Street...
