Final 24::Tupac Shakur
Tupac is one of a very few so-called rappers that I like, excluding anything that alludes to violence or thuggery. I think I fell in love with him for the track that he did to his Momma.…

The Marquees Feauturing Marvin Gaye
The Marquees were a short-term Washington, D.C., group who evolved from the Rainbows. Chester Simmons, Reese Palmer, James Nolan, and Marvin Gaye sang with the Rainbows at various times; Simmons was a founding member and the latter three filled in for missing Rainbows when needed. The group was part of a group of district singers who congregated in Bo Diddley's basement studio. Diddley's place overran with talent, including Billy Stewart and the… Continue

Harvey Fuqua & The New Moonglows
In 1958, shortly after the Moonglows recorded their final hit, "The Ten Commandments of Love", Harvey Fuqua re-asserted himself as the group's lead singer, putting Bobby Lester further in the background and causing friction among group members.
The biggest blow came when Fuqua spotted a young vocal group, the Marquees from Washington, D.C., and took the talented quartet of Reese Palmer, Chester Simmons, James Knowland and… Continue

The Ladder Of The Soul (For Relaxing)
the rungs of which lay bare my sorrow
I step the progressive road to life
though weary from the climb.
Perceptive though my thoughts may be
I sometimes jump into the fray
Pastoral arms recover me
and lead me day by day.
A light shines at the top
of the ladder of my soul
beckoning my ascent even
when I fall, grasping my
hand when I…

Love Light In Flight-Stevie Wonder
Give me what I'm missing
Send me to the highest heights
Take me up and away
I've tasted love so many times
With something always missing
But I know that you got the kind
To take me up and away
I know that our journey
Will be filled with passion,
love and pleasure
Touching down where…

I ♥ Gordon Parks
Recently, while glancing back
through the seductive imagery
of a camera's discerning eye,
I recalled mainly those moments
when the women who appeared
seemed lost in a voiceless past---
unruffled, full of secrets,
and fragrant with silence.
Then, as ages of thoughts
churned inside my…

Backlash Blues-Langston Hughes ~ Nina Simone
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
And send my son to vietnam
You give me second class houses
And second class schools
Do you think that alla colored folks
Are just second class fools
Mr. backlash, I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
When I try to find a job
To earn a little cash
All you got to offer
Is your mean old white backlash
But the world…

Weary Blues By Langston Hughes
The Weary Blues
by Langston Hughes
Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.
Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light
He did a lazy sway . . .
He did a lazy sway . . .
To the tune o' those Weary Blues.
With his ebony hands on each ivory key
He made that poor piano moan with melody.
O Blues!
Swaying to and fro on…
