It was love at first listen …
Happy Birthday, to my first musical love. Today Gladys Knight celebrates her 79th Birthday. As a young kid, secular music wasn’t allowed in our home … somehow I discovered Ms. Gladys Knight, fortunately for me, I never looked back. All of my peers were digging Shalamar, Caneo, Switch, The Brothers Johnson, Wham, Sting etc.., Me being an old soul. I had Gladys Knight. Then came Teena, Ella and of course Whitney. Knight continues to tour to sold out crowds, across the global world and her ‘Gift’ that voice, is STILL impeccable.

Remembering Gil Scott Heron
Genius - Woke - Trailblazer - TIMELESS
GIL - SCOTT- HERON
Often misunderstood, the brilliance of Gil Scott Heron, could NOT be denied. He was a radical conspiracy theorist. Leap years ahead of his time. Don’t believe me, just listen to ‘his songs like, ‘The Bottle’ ‘Johannesburg’, ‘B-Movie’, ‘The Revolution will Not Be Televised’ and my personal favorite ‘Home Is Where The Hatred Is’.
Heron was very profound in his thoughts and political opinions. He knew of a Donald Trump like world 50 years ago 👀
His literary and artistic influences were many: Langston Hughes, Sterling Brown, Jean Toomer, Countee Cullen, Claude McKay, Richie Havens, John Coltrane, Otis Redding, Jose Feliciano, Billie Holiday, Malcolm X, Huey Newton, and Nina Simone (to name a few). His art encompassed blues forms and techniques (he called himself a “bluesologist”), the legacy of the Black Arts Movement (artistic representations calling on aesthetics more representative of the African-American experience, including, but not limited to, oral poetics, political and social consciousness foregrounded in the piece), as well as his targeted focus on American politics and racial history with a searing examination of popular culture as an expression of problems with class and race in America. His literary influence will be a lasting achievement; he is featured in both The Cambridge History of African-American Literature and The Norton Anthology of African-American Literature. He's well represented in both anthologies, and scholars repeatedly examine his use of the blues, both structurally and thematically, as it is linked to his combining jazz rhthyms and tonal structures in his spoken-word art.
This Genius passed away May 27 - 2011
Rest In Peace

Ma and Pa Keetle …
Poor Princess Diana died, in order for their struggle, to be realized. A real life Soap Opera.
Another Great Called Home …
Grace Ann Melzia Bumbry was born (January 4, 1937 – May 7, 2023) was an American opera singer, considered one of the leading mezzo-soprano of her generation, as well as a major soprano earlier in her career. She was a member of a pioneering generation of African-American opera and classical singers, beginning with Leontyne Price and including Martina Arroyo, Shirley Varrett and Jessye Norman. Bumbry's voice was rich and dynamic, possessing a wide range, and was capable of producing a very distinctive plangent tone In her prime, she also possessed good agility and bel canto technique, as for example her rendition of Eboli in Verdi's Don Carlos in the 1970s and 1980s. She was particularly noted for her fiery temperament and dramatic intensity on stage. Later, she also became known as a recitalist and interpreter of lieder, and as a teacher. From the late 1980s on, she concentrated her career in Europe, rather than in the United States. A long-time resident of Switzerland, she spent her last years in Vienna.

Grabbing that 5 Million …
Sooooo Mitch McConnell do you want to add, anything to Donald J. Trump GUILTY verdict? Clearly Republicans will say, well he didn’t get a guilty RAPE verdict. Good job E. Jean Carroll and #StormyDaniels, a clear testimony in the power of the vagina. Carroll was awarded 5 Million dollars in damages, I wish it were 500 million.
I do realize that my post is a little facetious … humor is needed, in the madness, that Is TRUMP. The rules unfortunately doesnt, for some reason, apply to him. Ugh
