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.…

This Is My Beloved-Arthur Prysock

Arthur Prysock was perfectly at home singing jazz, blues, or R&B, but his smooth-as-silk baritone made him a superbly effective (and…

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

I just love me some Charlie Chan Movies and this one is my all time favorite, i especially love Mantan Moreland, he cracks me up....LOL. I know a lot of people hate these type of movies because of the way blacks were portrayed in them, but that was mostly all they could do at that time.

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

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
