WAY TOO LONG

It seems like it’s been forever since I posted anything at the studio. LIFE…has presented itself in ways that only LIFE can. There’s been a multitude of events that have happened since my last post. The reason that I won’t go into them is that each one of you can testify to the particulars as they happen to all of us for instance: like a child being born, death, marriage, loss of a job, a health scare and the list goes on and on. I guess though truthfully, we all tend to prioritize the things that are important to us. It is important to me that I work on writing more, so I guess I need to make that more of my priority than I have. To those of you out there reading this, thank you for taking time out of your lives to entertain these words. Hopefully this will somehow inspire you to be more diligent about working on the things that give you life. If you like, share your comments with me or at least give me a few words of encouragement to help me to get back on track writing!

PRAY FOR ME…

Ok, I know I that the posts are less frequent than they used to. Perhaps that will change in 2020. Every year since I started, I always try to post something for Black History Month. For me, this is a great way to end the month. This song called “Pray For Me” by The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar from the Black Panther soundtrack is EXCELLENT! I’m not a big rap fan but I do like this one. I also like the fact that this song has that Michael Jackson flavor in the midst of it. I’m really loving this song right about now. One of the reasons I know I love it is that every time I hear this song, I can’t get enough of it.
According to Wikipedia, “Black Panther was released in February 2018 and went on to break multiple box office records in various markets. Worldwide, it became the highest-grossing film by a black director. In its domestic market of the United States and Canada, it set the records for the highest-grossing superhero film and the highest Monday gross. Elsewhere, it became the highest-grossing film in the territories of East, West, and southern Africa and set the record for the highest opening weekend gross in East and West Africa as well as Trinidad. The records featured below were set while the film was in theaters and may not represent those currently held. All dollar amounts are presented in unadjusted U.S. dollars.

LET ALL THE OTHER NAMES FADE AWAY…

I’m amazed at how long it’s been since I’ve posted. Time has a way of moving a lot faster than we know or can even imagine. So much has been going on since I last communicated with you; so much that I won’t even try to catch you up. What I will do is let you in on what I’ve been grooving to for the last couple of months. This song is called “Wide as The Sky” by Isabel Davis. Every song I hear by this lady is absolutely moving and inspirational. Her delivery is extraordinary and the message in itself is always on point as to what I’m needing spiritually. I have a few other songs that I’m also feeling nowadays but I want you to check this one out first. If you don’t remember anything about this post just remember to… Let All The Other Names Fade Away!!!…

I’LL BE THERE…

I was shocked today in church when they ended service with “I’ll Be There”.
It was such a paradigm shift as I stood there hearing this song that I remembered as a soul song written by Berry Gordy, Hal Davis, Bob West, and Willie Hutch. The song was recorded by The Jackson 5 and released by Motown Records on August 28, 1970 as the first single from their third album on the same date. Today, the song was also being presented as a “soul” song…but this was soooooooo… different. I could easily now hear this song being played on any gospel station. I looked at the lyrics in ways that I never had before and from this day forward, I will always remember this as a “soul” song as it really touched my soul today. Check out the lyrics as you listen to this classic and let me know what you think.

IT’S BEEN 10 YEARS…

This computer is acting up but I didn’t want to let the day go by without acknowledging the 10th anniversary of the death of one of the best entertainers to ever grace this planet… Watch—-as Michael Jackson’s legacy continues…………………………

KEEP IT MOVING…

“If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t

walk, then crawl, but whatever you do,

you have to keep moving forward.”

– Martin Luther King Jr.-

CLASSIC @OPRAH

I don’t know how I ended up watching this clip but as soon as I did, I could not look away. If you don’t want to cry, don’t watch this one. This is a story about ABUSE, SURVIVAL, HEROISM, and STRENGTH . I don’t want to give away too much in this writing because I want you to watch the clip. I’ve never been in an abusive situation and certainly not a situation such as this but it really hurt nonetheless. The kids in this story are extremely resilient yet what they’ve gone through will always be with them. THE OPRAH SHOW has evolved over the years but she has always been educational, cutting-edge, poignant, and emotional. Watch this clip and let me know what you think.

ON A HILL FAR AWAY…

THIS AIN’T NO ORDINARY WORSHIP

Kelontae Gavin’s “No Ordinary Worship” has been my go to song for the last couple of months. I remember when I first heard this song, I was driving along and had to know who was singing this one. This is my first post of the year and I hope it touches the hearts of any/all that happen upon it. I can’t predict the future but I certainly am expecting a GREAT 2019. I will continue giving praise to GOD. THIS AIN’T NO ORDINARY WORSHIP!!!
