Episode 2684: Pearl Fryar ~ A Tribute ~ Wall Street Journal, LA Times, A Man Named Pearl, Inspiring Goodwill thru His Nat'l Art Topiary Garden

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 05:56:41 +0000

Oprah, Wall Street Journal, LA Times

My interview with Pearl Fryar is inspiring & the documentary is a must see. The Bill and Melinda gates Foundation supports his story, Oprah & many others major media reviews do also. not to mention the millions who visit is nursery from all over the world.

Pearl Fryar started making his Topiary Garden in 1984 in a successful bid to win a prestigious local competition. He taught himself to prune and shape the trees and shrubs he had planted in his 3 acre garden, using a petrol-driven hedge trimmer and starting with a few plants. Working from his imagination, Fryar coaxed over 100 specimens of more than 20 different trees and plants, including holly, yew and juniper, into fantastic shapes, hearts, animals and abstract forms.

Pearl has passed his art on to a NEW Generation of topiary Artists to maintain his Garden. He transitioned in April 3, 2026.

EVEN Today, it is a National Tourist Attraction!!

When Pearl Fryar and his wife sought to buy a house in an all-white neighborhood of Bishopville, SC, they were dissuaded with the explanation that Black people don t keep up their yards. Remarkably, instead of fueling bitterness and anger, this comment motivated Pearl to win Bishopville's Yard of the Month award and, eventually, to transform his ordinary suburban yard into a horticultural wonderland. The topiary garden s centerpiece emblazons both its message and Pearl s own philosophy: Love, Peace, and Goodwill.

Pearl Fryar is an African-American born in Clinton, North Carolina, Pearl was the son of a sharecropper. Since the early 1980s, Pearl Fryar has been creating fantastic topiary at his garden in Bishopville, South Carolina. Living sculptures, Pearl s topiaries are astounding feats of artistry and horticulture. Many of the plants in Pearl s garden were rescued from the compost pile at local nurseries. With Pearl s patience and skilled hands, these throw aways have thrived and have been transformed into wonderful abstract shapes. Pearl Fryar and his garden are now internationally recognized and have been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles, television shows, and even a documentary, A Man Named Pearl. Today, the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden draws visitors from around the globe.

Visitors to the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden experience a place that is alternately beautiful, whimsical, educational, and inspiring. Pearl s garden contains over 300 individual plants, and few are spared from his skilled trimming. His extraordinary topiary is complemented by his junk art sculptures placed throughout the garden. Pearl s garden is a living testament to one man s firm belief in the results of positive thinking, hard work, and perseverance, and his dedication to spreading a message of love, peace, and goodwill.

"It's the one time in my life ignorance paid off," chuckles Pearl Fryar, a humble man with no eduction in horticulture who, after years of dedicated work, created an astonishing garden in the economically depressed town of Bishopville, S.C. But A Man Named Pearl doesn't just wander among the three acres of Fryar's beautifully sculpted trees and bushes, all created from plants Fryar rescued from the scrap heaps of local nurseries.

Chic with Nile Rodgers, People, CNN, ABC, BET, FOX

Robin Roberts & Whoopi Goldberg LOVE Them!!

Music & Munchies is My Show Theme This Week: Soul Snacks Cookie Company!

Music for this Segment: CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers - Let's Dance
(Live At The House Sídney 2013)

Everyone wants to be a leader in a world where people don’t often possess the experience or expertise to be in the lead. That is gained from mastering the skills and learning to follow. Ralph Rolle is a prime example of learning to follow becoming born to lead.

Ralph followed his older brother in learning the drums, but that he led him to becoming a premier musician, who has created music with everyone from super producer Nile Rodgers and his iconic disco/R&B group Chic, pop legends Sting and Bono, the 1st woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Aretha Franklin, hip-hop giants Biggie Smalls and Queen Latifah, jazz superstar Chris Botti, the queen of Neo-Soul Erykah Badu, Vanessa Williams, soul crooner D’Angelo, songstylist India Arie, Lady Gaga, Dolly Pardon, Bono, Roger Daltry, John Legend, Joss Stone, Elvis Costello and playing in the resident band for N.B.C. ‘It’s Showtime at The Apollo’ for over 15 seasons. Ralph has also served as the musical director for syndicated “The Caroline Rhea Show” and he served in the same role for Japanese R&B/soul superstar Toshi Kubota.

Ralph took the time, any time he had the time, to stop and cook and enjoy life. It helped him to come down from the tension and time on the road that was always in motion. Cooking, another gift he received from his mother, gave him the peace of mind he needed to slow down and breathe. And in learning his way around the kitchen, he started to bake. hat stayed with him and when he was hanging out with his musician friends, he would have his signature cookies. At first they laughed, but quickly the request became “please bring those cookies with you!”

Over time, his cookies found their way into the hands of clients such as Westside Market, Franks Market, and many more. Good Morning America host chose Soul Snacks for her holiday gifting in 2011. In 2015, Bette Midler and Ralph met when Nile Rodgers and Chic were the guest artists and Ms. Midler’s annual Hulaween Charity event. Ralph had his “cookie calling card” with him. Ms. Midler loved Soul Snacks so much that she placed orders for her family and friends. Soon, he was selling his cookies at Melba’s, a legendary soul food restaurant in Harlem. The orders poured in and soon, he was featured in CNN, BET, ABC and FOX networks, in New York Times newspaper and in The Source and Vibe magazines. From there, Ralph gave birth to “SOUL SNACKS.”

SOUL SNACKS offers a variety of delicious cookies such as Georgia Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Peanut Butter, Down Home Double Chocolate Chip, Ebony and Ivory Almond Cookie, Grampy’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie, French Cocoa Chocolate Chip, Miami Raisin Walnut, Chunked Up Chocolate Walnut, Cranberry Oatmeal Raisin, Joyful Gingerbread and the most recently added, but now #1 seller, Sweet Potato Cookies. “Inside of every cookie is years of heart, soul and lots of pride that has been the main ingredient of SOUL SNACKS Cookies for over a decade.”

Episode 2681: Sheyann Christburg Webb ~ Martin Luther’s King’s Youngest Marcher Talks of the Importance of Civil Rights NOW!

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:52:31 +0000

Sheyann Webb-Christburg is a civil rights activist and co-author of the book Selma, Lord, Selma. As a nine-year-old, Webb took part in the first attempt at the Selma to Montgomery march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 7, 1965, known as Bloody Sunday, and was known as Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Smallest Freedom Fighter".

The beginning of her activism

In January 1965, Webb met Dr. King soon after she began attending meetings. Webb states that meeting Dr King was one of the most impactful events of her life; she describes him as "a strong...patient man...one who could talk and deliver, and you could receive his message regardless of how old you were.

Bloody Sunday

The march from Selma to Montgomery was organized after the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson, a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) who was beaten and shot during a peaceful march for voting rights in Marion, Alabama.

During the meeting held before Bloody Sunday, people talked about the possibilities of how the march would go, and that there was a possibility that the march wouldn't be successfully finished. Webb said that she was scared the morning of the march and that she wasn't prepared to see the things she saw, even after the warnings of the meeting the previous night.

At nine years old, marching alongside her teacher, Margaret Moore, Sheyann Webb was among the protesters who were beaten with billy clubs and gassed with tear gas. A fellow demonstrator, Hosea Williams, picked up Webb and rescued her from the violent turn of the protest. She ran home "like [she] was running for [her] life." After the first attempted march, Webb was still determined to return to Brown's Chapel Church, and she was willing to march again. She wrote her funeral arrangements the night of Bloody Sunday.

She wrote Selma, Lord, Selma, a 1980 book edited by Frank Sikora, which was adapted into a Disney television movie of the same name and found its way into secondary education textbooks.

Episode 2679: Frank McKinney ~Barrons. WSJ, Fortune, Multi-Millionaire Innovative Actor, Real Estate Artist, Philanthro-Capitalist

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:34:10 +0000

SWall Street Journal, CNN, Fortune, Barrons, HGTV

Frank McKinney is a true modern-day Renaissance man who has pushed the limits of success in his every endeavor. His early years were not very promising: upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), and seven stints in juvenile detention, he earned his high school diploma with a 1.8 GPA. With $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, he left his native Indiana for Florida in search of his life’s highest calling.

Today, Frank’s life is a testament to the power of aspiration to create a completely new reality. As a real estate artist he has created and sold 44 oceanfront mansions on spec, with an average price of $14 million. Frank recently announced he was un-retiring and coming back to create more real estate artistry! See two short films that were just made about Frank’s exciting comeback!

As a philanthro-capitalist, Frank has built 30 self-sustaining villages over the last 20 years in Haiti, providing 13,600+ children and their families with homes, schools, clinics, community centers, churches, renewable food and clean water, and means to support themselves.

A best-selling author, actor, and keynote speaker, Frank has written seven books in six genres, with the title, premise and cover for his 8th book in his 7th genre being revealed at an exciting stunt Frank will perform on Friday the 13th of January, 2023! Frank has starred in four movies, and keynoted before audiences of ten to ten thousand around the world.

Physically, Frank has pushed the limit of his body by racing in the Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon 12x in the scorching summer in Death Valley, California, a race referred to by National Geographic as “the world’s toughest footrace.”

As with all of his books, Frank wrote his latest bestseller Aspire! in his Delray Beach, Florida, oceanfront treehouse office that has spectacular views and includes a bamboo desk, shower, bathroom, sink, air-conditioning, hardwood floors, cedar walls, a loft with a king size bed, and a suspension bridge to the master bedroom in the main house—that’s Frank’s commute to and from work!

Today Frank and Nilsa, his wife of 34 years, split their time between Delray Beach and their “glass cottage” in the mountains of Canton, North Carolina. They enjoy visiting their 24 year-old daughter, Laura, in New York City, where she started and runs StrataBrand, a brand strategy firm.

Episode 2678: Dr. Army Daniel ~ Original Civil Rights Foot Soldier From 60’s Mississippi to Selma & the Meaning of Marching on in 2026!

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Histotical Huntsville Foundation, Original foot Soldierhtat helped to Shape the Modern-Day Civil Rights Laws, Educational Life Advancement, & Economic Black Middle Class

Army was born: in Jackson, Mississippi more than 95 years ago.

He Grew up on Farish Street, a historically Black business district known as the “Black mecca of Mississippi.”

His childhood was shaped by racial violence:

His father, Army Daniel Sr., was killed in racial violence.
His mother later died after struggling with that loss.

These early experiences helped shape his commitment to civil rights.

Connection to the Civil Rights Movement

While attending Alcorn State University, he met and became close friends with Medgar Evers.
They even played football together at Alcorn.
When Evers later became the NAACP field secretary, Daniel often traveled with him, serving as a driver and companion to meetings and civil rights events.

This is why he is described as a “civil rights foot soldier”—someone who worked behind the scenes supporting the movement rather than leading it publicly.

Education and Career

Studied physics and mathematics at Alcorn State.
Later became a teacher in Jackson, Mississippi.
Received a National Science Foundation fellowship to pursue graduate study at Michigan State University.
He was nominated for a STAR teaching award while teaching at Jim Hill High School in the 1960s.

Personal Life

Married Frances Daniel, whom he met at Alcorn State.
They had six children.

Historical Significance

Dr. Army Daniel Jr. represents the type of people often called “foot soldiers” of the Civil Rights Movement—individuals who worked on the ground helping organize, transport activists, attend meetings, and support leaders. These people formed the backbone of the movement even though they are not widely known historically.

Episode 2677: Melba Moore ~ TONY AWARD® Winning Actress, US Presidential Lifetime Honoree, Hollywood Walk of Fame Honoree 4x Grammy® Nominee

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:29:01 +0000

TONY AWARD®, United States Congressional Record & National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress, Hollywood Walk of Fame Inductee

Presidential Life Time Achievement Award, In Addition, Joseph Biden Public Service Award.

The Music Historian in ME Loves to Talk to the Legends.

Melba has a Music Compilation called "Imagine'. Already Topping the American & British Soul charts.

Melba Moore has done it all, twice. At the tender age of 10, Melba notes that it was then that she was introduced to music and that “I didn’t have any music in my life before my mother married my stepfather. He introduced music into our home and into my life.” From that moment forward, Melba began to develop her 5-octave, note-holding soprano that would soon bring audiences to their feet.

Theater:

Won a Tony Award for best featured actress in a musical for her role in the musical "Purlie,"
Replaced Diane Keaton in the Broadway musical "Hair"
Was first African American woman to play the female lead in the musical "Les Misérables" on Broadway.

The Newark, NJ Arts High School graduate started doing recording sessions after a chance meeting with singer/songwriter/composer Valerie Simpson (of Ashford & Simpson). That opportunity in the studio led Melba in the company of the Broadway musical “HAIR!” First in the ensemble of the show, Melba’s name was tossed into the conversation when actress Diane Keaton left the show and Melba took the female lead and broke all the rules, being the first Black woman to replace a white actress in a featured role on Broadway.

The journey of Melba’s career took her meteorically from there to the lead of “PURLIE,” a musical adaptation of a play written by acting husband and wife pioneers Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. That role and its musical soundtrack would earn Moore a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist in 1971 and a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress

Television

Starred in her own sitcom, "Melba

Episode 2674: Joseph Cooney, Esq. ` Civil Rights Foot Solider, of Dr. Martin Luther King talks Selma Bloody Sunday/Edmund Pettis Bridge & his First Hand Experience!

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:06:06 +0000

Time Magazine, CNN, Media Images & Reporting Reflect the Colors of Change.

This Week I Take Time to Reflect & Just Breathe. Also Reflect of Things Happening in Our World. In Remembrance of Jimmie Lee Jackson & The Late Honorable John Lewis (D,GA).

In 2026, We are STILL Fighting the Good Fight for Voter's Rights for ALL.

I have been Blessed to Meet, Learn, Train & Work along side of Several Civil Rights Icons. On of them was the Late The Honorable John Lewis (D,GA) who Fought & Marched in 2020 to the Very End!!

I have attended events Remembering the History, People & Sacrifice.

The Fight for Justice Continues Today in 2026 as People Help Bring About Change.

My Guest this Week was asked to join the Selma March in Alabama in 1965 by Dr. Martin Luther King. His name: Joseph Cooney Esq., then a newly ordained Priest. He also worked with SCLC in the Voters Registration Summers of 1966-67.

In 1965, State Troopers Clashed with Citizens marching to Montgomery, Alabama to petition the state for African-American's Right to Vote. Many lives would change in this fight. Some lives both Black & White lost. The March from Selma to Montgomery was inspired by the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson was a civil rights activist in Marion, Alabama, and a deacon in the Baptist church. On February 18, 1965, while participating in a peaceful voting rights march in his city, he was beaten by troopers and shot by Alabama State Trooper John Bonard Fowler Jackson was unarmed and died eight days later in the hospital.

His death was part of the inspiration for the Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965, a major events in the American Civil Rights Movement that helped gain Congressional passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This opened the door to millions of African Americans being able to vote again in Alabama and across the South, regaining participation as citizens in the political system for the first time since the turn of the 20th century, when they were disenfranchised by state constitutions and discriminatory practices.

My Show looks to the reason for Jubilee Remembrances 61st Anniversary 2026 in the South this Week. I consider it a Privilege to cover the True Foot Soldiers who were physically THERE during the Events that Changed History in American Civil Rights to All.

My Guest is author Robert H. Mayer author of the book "In the Name of Emmett Till"

Children played a significant role in Birmingham’s crucial civil rights struggle, and this stirring history of the movement, with many photos, news reports, and quotes from all sides, emphasizes the connections between the young people’s power and that of the big leaders. Martin Luther King called Birmingham the most segregated city in America, and his Letter from Birmingham Jail is quoted at length. But when the adults’ protest lost momentum, the leaders’ decision to call on young people galvanized the movement--Hazel Rochman

Robert H. Mayer is the award-winning author of When the Children Marched: The Birmingham Civil Rights Movement and the editor of The Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a teacher, Mayer’s passion continues to be making history relevant and accessible to young people. His time spent in Jackson, Canton, and McComb, Mississippi, as well as meeting scholars and activists integral to the civil rights movement, fueled the desire to write In the Name of Emmett Till. He lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with his wife Jan, where he writes, teaches, and tutors youth in a local middle school.

The 1955 murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi is widely remembered as one of the most horrible lynching's in American history. African American children old enough that year to be aware personally felt the terror of Till’s murder. These children, however, would rise up against the culture that made Till’s death possible. Over the next decade, from the violent Woolworth’s lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, determined to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world.

Emmett Till Antilynching Act is a United States landmark federal law which makes lynching a federal hate crime and signed into law on March 29, 2022, by President Joe Biden. The bill was named after 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, sparking national and international outrage.

Episode 2671: Rev. Dr. Viola Bradford ~ The Southern Courier Youngest Journalist tlaks Importance of Our Voices in Written & Pictorial Mediia

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Viola Bradford started working at The Southern Courier when she was 14. On July 26, she will celebrate the newspaper's 60th anniversary with the culmination of a years-long effort to put a marker at the newspaper's former office on Commerce Street.

A group of Harvard University journalism students formed The Southern Courier in 1965 to document the Civil Rights Movement. The newspaper covered Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and worked to recruit people from the area to report.

Bradford's work with the Courier led her to a career in journalism. She earned five degrees, including a doctorate from Howard University. She taught journalism at Alabama State University for about five years. The Southern Courier offered important coverage from 1965 to 1968.

“The Southern Courier didn’t just report the news—it disrupted the silence,” said Hardy. “It dared to tell the truth about the South from the people living it. At Alabama Values, we carry that same spirit. We’re a grassroots communications organization, using narrative to tell the stories others try to bury. Honoring the Courier is personal—it reminds us that truth-telling has always been a tool of resistance.”

The Southern Courier photo archives—over 10,000 images, including iconic photos of Dr. King—were donated by Peppler to the Alabama Department of Archives and History. The complete newspaper collection is housed at Tuskegee University.

About Sankofa Servants, Inc.:
Dr. Bradford s Founder of Sankofa Servants, Inc. is a community-driven organization dedicated to preserving cultural history, promoting justice through education, and empowering future generations through service and storytelling.

Faya Ora Rose Touré (s a civil rights activist, civil rights attorney, and education activist based in Selma, Dallas County.

Touré became Alabama’s first Black woman judge in 1973. She has been a polarizing figure in Selma, with some news outlets portraying her as a heroic civil rights leader who has greatly improved the lives of Black people in Alabama, while other media sources consider her a troublemaker and agitator.

Born Rose M. Gaines on May 20, 1945, in Salisbury, North Carolina, to Damon A. Gaines, a minister, and Ora Lee Gaines; she was one of six children. She graduated summa cum laude from Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1966. In 1969, she graduated from Harvard Law School, where she won the Herbert Smith Fellowship. In 1970, she married Henry “Hank” Sanders, who also graduated from Harvard Law School;

In 1991, Touré and Marie Foster created the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute in Selma. Located adjacent to the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the museum opened to the public in 1993. This museum chronicles the civil rights struggle in Alabama and honors the heroes who made great personal sacrifices so that Black citizens could gain the right to vote and strive toward equality. It features exhibits dedicated to Selma’s civil rights history, Reconstruction, woman suffrage, Pres. Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, Jim Clark (the notorious sheriff known for his role in Bloody Sunday), and the mass incarceration of Black Americans.

CNN, C-Span ~ It's the 61st Anniversary of the Boots on the Bridge "Bloody Sunday" March of Selma to Montgomery, Alabama & the Annual Remembrance of Jubilee & Jimmie Lee Jackson

In 2026, Our Freedoms are Being Tested: Rights to Work, Education, Human, Civil/Disability Rights, Veteran's Rights, etc.

The 2025 jubileee Celebration Events are March 5-8 th in Selma Alabama. You can find out more on the Website Link here: selmajubilee.com

This annual event in Selma, Alabama, commemorates "Bloody Sunday," which occurred March 7, 1965 when a group of about 525 African-American demonstrators gathered at Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church to demand the right to vote. They walked six blocks to Broad Street and across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where they were met by more than 50 state troopers and a few dozen possemen on horseback. When the demonstrators refused to turn back, they were brutally beaten. At least 17 were hospitalized,

FYI: Activist Jimmie Lee Jackson murder on February 26th 1965 sparked the March across the Edmund Pettis Bridge.

There were THREE Marches across The Bridge BECAUSE the First on March on March 7, 1965, resulted in Violence against the Marchers; The Second March on Tuesday, March 9, 1965. Martin Luther King led the March & prayed at the beginning of the Bridge. The last March was held March 17 with permits & saftey, The Marchers crossed the Bridge.

Senator Henry “Hank” Sanders is the second of 13 children born to Ola Mae and Sam Sanders of Baldwin County, Alabama. He challenged the twin obstacles of poverty and racism to: graduate from Douglasville High School, Talladega College, and Harvard Law School; establish a law practice; and serve as the first African American State Senator from the Alabama Black Belt. He is married to Faya Ora Rose Touré, formerly Rose M. Sanders, and they have three children by birth, four by foster relationship, and many by heart.

In 1971, Sanders began what became Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, Pettaway and Campbell, LLC. At one time, it was the largest Black law firm in Alabama and one of the ten largest in the country. His law practice is one of service: helping poor and Black people save their lands, protecting people’s constitutional rights, challenging corporate abuse, and helping build strong governments to serve all people. He served as one of three lead counsel in the nationally known $1.2 billion Black Farmers Discrimination Litigation.

As a community person, Sanders has helped found and build many organizations and institutions, including the following: Alabama New South Coalition, where he currently is President Emeritus; 21st Century Youth Leadership Movement; Alabama Lawyers Association; Black Belt Human Resources Center; McRae Learning Center; the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute; the Slavery and Civil War Museum; C.A.R.E. (Coalition of Alabamians Reforming Education); the Selma Collaborative; the Bridge Crossing Jubilee; WBMZ-105.3 FM Radio Station; and more.

Episode 2665: Dana Hee ~ Olympic Gold Medalist/TV & Film Actress, Hollywood Stuntwoman, Author Talks Lasting Courage

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 04:26:45 +0000

Olympic Gold Medalist

The world of sports I find fascinating to watch! Years of discipline, conditioning, travel, competitions, etc. all go into building a winning athlete & team. Their stories behind the World Championships, Team M.V.P.'s & Gold are even more so. Can an orphan from an abusive childhood, shuffled from foster home to home, even living on the streets, low self-esteem go on to be a winner in life? It starts with the stories about you have in your mind. You have to see it, speak it, mentor with & surround yourself & your environment to condition YOU for victory! What an eye opener to hear about life after the games from one of my friends

Olympic Gold Medalist Dana Hee. She is grateful to God for her victories. Dana may be a familiar face, not only from winning the "Gold" bunot only from winning the "Gold" but from television & movies like Mortal Combat, Charlie's Angels, Lethal Weapon & many more. Dana Lynn Hee is an Olympic Gold Medalist and is currently a Hollywood film and television actress, as well as one of an award winning stuntwomen in the entertainment industry. . She has also doubled for Hollywood's top actresses': Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Gwynneth Paltrow, Renee Russo, and Jennifer Garner.

She also a noted writer, lecturer and television color commentator, and has an extensive background as a speaker to Fortune 500 companies. It's an understatement to say that Dana's childhood was hard. The child of divorced, alcoholic parents, she endured abuse, abandonment, and despair. The years of being passed back and forth between an orphanage, suicidal family members, halfway houses, a commune, government shelter, and finally a foster home, took their tole. Dana grew up to be a young woman with little self-esteem or self-confidence, and a huge fear of failure. To her, nothing seemed possible. It was as if the two words, 'I can't' were programmed into her mind, and she struggled to escape a lifelong habit of running from her fears. Dana looked within herself for strength and determined to make a change. Armed with an ounce of courage, and a glimpse of hope, she set out to make a dream of hers come true. Through the agonizing, against-the-odds process of this struggle, she made the transformation from a shy, under-achieving, below-average young woman to an Olympic Gold Medalist with a new sense of self-esteem, and, finally, some hope for the future.

Her story of how this happened - and the lessons you can take from it - are enough to inspire the most discouraged soul. But Dana didn't stop there. She started accepting speaking engagements, then graduated to keynote speeches. She shifted from martial arts, to modeling, and then acting, before setting her sights on becoming a top Hollywood stuntwoman in the movie industry. If this sounds easy, it wasn't. To this day, Dana battles self-doubts whose roots extend back to her youth. But she never quits. She competes successfully in the world's most challenging industries.

Dana's autobiography, One Step with Courage: The Story of My Life From Olympic Gold Medalist to Hollywood Stuntwoman, was released in May 2020. Taekwondo Life Magazine featured her story and book release in March, 2021, as part of its International Women's Day Celebration ~ DanaHee.com

Episode 2660: Steve Fiffer ~ NY Times Best Selling Author Talks Rev. C. T. Vivian, It's In the Action: Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior, Voting Rights in America & Presidential Medal of Freedom Honoree

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 19:50:04 +0000

Voters Right Act, Chicago Tribune, Slate, NY Times

August 6th, 1965 the Voting Rights Act was Signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson.,

C.T. Vivian, a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement, was violently attacked by Sheriff Jim Clark while attempting to escort a group of African Americans to register to vote.

Steve Fiffer is a New York Times Bestselling Author. His Book is "It's in The Action": Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior, Rev C.T. Vivian's Memoir.

Reverend Vivian was a Major Force in the Fight for Civil Rights & Voters Rights in the Twentieth Century till he Passed July 17th, 2020.

Regardless of Social Status, Party Affiliation or Belief, Race: Libertarian, Democrat, Progressive or Republican or Other, All Americans Should Have the Right to Vote!

Senator Barack Obama, speaking at Selma's Brown Chapel on the March 2007, anniversary of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, recognized Vivian in his opening remarks in the words of Martin L. King Jr. as "the greatest preacher to ever live."

Studying for the ministry at American Baptist Theological Seminary (now called American Baptist College) in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1959, Vivian met James Lawson, who was teaching Mohandas Gandhi's nonviolent direct action strategy to the Nashville Student Movement. Soon Lawson's students, including Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, James Bevel, John Lewis and others from American Baptist, Fisk University and Tennessee State University, organized a systematic nonviolent sit-in campaign at local lunch counters.

Vivian helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, and helped organize the first sit-ins in Nashville in 1960 and the first civil rights march in 1961. In 1961, Vivian participated in Freedom Rides. He worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the national director of affiliates for the SCLC. During the summer following the Selma Voting Rights Movement, Vivian is perhaps best known for, Vivian challenged Sheriff Jim Clark on the steps of the courthouse in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 during a drive to promote Black people to register to vote.

"You can turn your back on me, but you cannot turn your back upon the idea of justice," Vivian said to Clark as reporters recorded the interaction. "You can turn your back now and you can keep the club in your hand, but you cannot beat down justice. And we will register to vote, because as citizens of these United States we have the right to do it."

Vivian conceived and directed an educational program, Vision, and put 702 Alabama students in college with scholarships (this program later became Upward Bound). His 1970 Black Power and the American Myth was the first book on the Civil Rights Movement by a member of Martin Luther King's staff.

On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama named Vivian as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Steve's own Memoir is "Three Quarters, Two Dimes, and a Nickel". His work has appeared in Chicago Tribune. & Slate. He's also a Guggenheim Fellow

Episode 2659: Larry D. Thornton ~ Lessons From C-Suite Boardroom's to Coca-Cola & McDonald's Franchise Owner - Author of "Why Not Win"

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 05:08:16 +0000

From Coca-Cola to McDonalds ~ Artist. Entrepreneur. Author. Servant Leader CEO of "The Why Not Win Institute" :These are just a few words that describe Larry D. Thornton, Sr. You could also call him a game changer, teacher and team player. Even though there are many words to describe Larry’s prowess leadership, hearing his life story puts everything in perspective.

Growing Up in the Segregated South to go to Game Changer was not without adversity BOTH socially & because of race perceptions, However, his Mom & Many Mentors taught him interpersonal relationship skills that helped him see a bigger picture on solving obstacles so he & his team could become winners in Business & Life.

Thornton’s artistry and work ethic got him attention at Coca-Cola, both for the good and the bad. He had to figure out a way to navigate this new world, where higher-ups praised him but co-workers reminded him of his “blackness” by drawing a noose in his workstation.

He persevered by learning to appreciate and embrace diversity, people resources, and conflicting opinions. While his success grew at Coca-Cola, Thornton did the unthinkable: set out to be the first African American to own a McDonald’s franchise in Birmingham. This thorny journey was peppered with threats, attempts to thwart his mission and a marriage he could not keep from falling apart. He absorbed the “try, try and try again” motto, and came to see that failure was a prelude to feasting upon the sweet fruit of success. Thornton made up his mind that he would spend each day on a mission to show his unbending gratitude for his life and its benefits by fostering a supreme attitude and maintaining consistency in vision, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to principles. Thornton’s journey from Madison Park, Montgomery, has been a long one. “Why Not Win?” reflects on his most useful lessons and the anecdotes associated with them

He teaches Success Principles of Leadership at his "The Why Not Win Institute" launched with Dr. Zillah Fluker in November of 2018 and in the last several years has been delivered at more than 20 colleges, universities & corporations. Find out more at:~ LarryThornton.com

Episode 2652: Dr. Steven Lamm ~ Oprah, ABC-TV Talks Important Tips to Maintaining a Healthy Gut Thru The Holiday's & 2026

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 16:19:23 +0000

ABC-TV's "The View", Today, Oprah ~

Happy Holiday's!! We Are Entering into a Season of Reflection, Giving, EATING!!

It's just after Thanksgiving and BEFORE Christmas & Hanukkah BUT, there are at least 3 MORE Holiday's, Parade's, Sports Events PLUS to Celebrate over the next 8 weeks. So this episode should help us thrive the munchies & FEASTS.

My Guest Dr. Steven Lamm is a practicing internist and faculty member at New York University School of Medicine. Known by millions as the "House Doctor" on ABC-TV's 'The View"

He has written, with Gerald Secor Couzens, several books, including The Virility Solution, Younger at Last, the best seller Thinner at Last & his book No Guts, No Glory.

Searching for true wellness? Start with the gut. Though most of us rarely think about that organ, unless we’re among the 90 million people who have gastrointestinal problems each year, the gut is the source of many seemingly unrelated physical and mental disorders that afflict millions of Americans—such as kidney stones, asthma, a ruptured abdominal aorta, and even cancer or a heart attack.

Most people assume everything’s fine until something hurts. But by then the trouble has been brewing a long time. To be really health savvy, we need to understand the role the gut plays in health, which goes far beyond digestion, and begin taking care of it. A graduate of Columbia University and New York University School of Medicine.

Dr. Lamm is the recipient of numerous honors, including American Bariatric Society Recognition Award, Alpha Omega Alpha Award, New York Founders Day Award. Dr. Lamm is active in clinical research and is a panel physician for the New York State Athletic Commission.

Episode 2649: Robert Ferguson, MS,CN ~ CNN, E, Today, BET, GMA, Celebrity Nutritionist & Fitness Specialist talks Healthy Fit Lifestyle!

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 07:55:31 +0000

ESPN, HBO, CNN, ABC-TV, E, FOX News, Good Morning America

It takes an Intense Passion & Enthusiasm to achieve Success in your Business, Fitness & Lifestyle Goals. My guest is Entreprener, Celebrity Nutritionist & Fitness Specialist ~ Robert Ferguson, MS, CN. Healthful living and lifestyle changes work," said the author of Conquering the Munchie Monster. "What so many look for is a quick fix; but at the end of the day, they are less than successful because they don't believe they can be successful." Ferguson, who owns the company Diet Free Life, has been helping people achieve weight loss through healthful living since 1998.

A former U.S. Marine, he works with both the general population and celebrities. He also is a physical conditioning and nutrition specialist for professional boxers on Showtime®, HBO®, ESPN® and "The Contender." One of Ferguson's goals is to bridge the gap within the African American community between knowing what is healthful and practicing what it knows. He conducts free live cooking demonstrations and fitness programs, and delivers motivational speeches in urban areas across the country. Ferguson teaches people how to make their favorite recipes more healthful, and he shows his clients how to incorporate good health into their existing lifestyles with diet and fitness plans customized to meet each person's needs. "There is a misconception that healthful living is boring, bland and difficult to maintain. But it really can be enjoyable, fun and easy," he said. "Many people who want to be healthy feel like they have to walk away from their cultural identities," he added. "They have an all-or-nothing mindset: either eat bland and boring -- steamed broccoli and salmon -- or go back to eating fried chicken every day." Friends and family often are the biggest stumbling blocks to living a healthful lifestyle.

"There's an internal battle between being healthy and being accepted," Ferguson said.

"People are always thinking about what they'll lose by upgrading their lifestyle with nutrition and fitness. When people start to eat healthfully, and all their friends and family continue to eat unhealthfully, they feel like they stand out." But Ferguson believes that when healthful efforts are viewed as a lifestyle change rather than as a diet, individuals will become self-reliant and empowered -- and therefore experience long-term success. They also will set positive examples for those closest to them. "I want to open eyes and minds to show that life can be lived and experienced differently without the word DIET," Ferguson said ~ dietfreelife.com

Episode 2648: Landau Murphy, Jr. AGT-NBC Winner, CNN, New Music, Fatherhood, Tours~ Happy Thanksgiving & Christmas Made for Two

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 17:27:58 +0000

AGT, CNN, The View

Lots of Great Stuff Happening for Landau, International Travel, New Music, Family & Fatherhood!

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. first burst onto the national conscience as the Sinatra-and-Soul singing on NBC TV’s “America’s Got Talent with his incredible voice, undeniable charisma and unparalleled showmanship. And a decade later, he’s still going strong.

Seeing Landau in concert is a revelation; backed by the dynamic Landau Big Band, you’ll always hear swinging arrangements of Great American Songbook classics from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat ‘King’ Cole and many more, along with a dusting of that special Motown Magic that is sure to move your feet and make you sing along.

And after the show, every show, you’ll always have the opportunity to meet Landau one-on-one for photos and have the chance to talk with him about his incredible rags-to-riches story. “It’s my favorite part of the night; it’s something we always do. Sometimes I’m the last one at the venue, talking to fans and friends. The janitor is waiting on me to lock up!”

Landau was born into extreme poverty in the Appalachian coalfields of southern West Virginia. His parents split while he was in elementary school, and Landau was shipped off to Detroit in the middle of the night. He woke up in the Motor Cities notoriously gang and drug-riddled “7 Mile” neighborhood. Landau likes to say that he went from Almost Heaven to Little Baghdad overnight!

“I loved to play basketball in Detroit, and these guys were good. Some of them went onto the NBA. But we were in the hood; it wasn’t anything to see guns drawn on the court after the game, so to keep people cool and laughing, when I’d dunk on someone, I’d sing a Frank Sinatra song like “Fly Me To The Moon” and everyone would laugh and put their guns away.”

At the end of his rope, Landau tied a knot and pulled himself back up by auditioning for NBC TV’s “America’s Got Talent” with thousands of others. After months of competition, Landau emerged the winner, scoring a million dollars, a recording contract, and America’s hearts, and he’s never looked back.

Landau’s Columbia Records debut album “That’s Life” reached number one on the Billboard Jazz Charts and was followed by “Christmas Made For Two”, “Landau” and his latest “Landau Live In Las Vegas” recorded during a performance at the legendary Caesar’s Palace. Landau has made dozens of TV appearances including “The Today Show”, “The View”, CNN, “Fox and Friends”, “The Talk”, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Hollywood Christmas Parade.

He’s helped raise millions of dollars for charities, many in his home state of West Virginia where he serves on the Board of Directors for the Children’s Home Society of West Virginia and was named “West Virginian of the Year” by the Governor’s office and the state’s largest newspaper.

I Landau proudly released LANDAU LIVE IN LAS VEGAS a pre-pandemic recording at Caesars Palace that includes several never-before-released tracks. Enjoy Landau’s unique take on the Great American Songbook as well as classic R&B, all backed by his long-time stellar musicians in LANDAU’S LITTLE BIG BAND, with guest background vocals by former Temptations and Four Tops lead singer Theo Peoples!

Episode 2647: Margaret Stagmeier of TriStar LLC~ talks Revitalize Blighted Structures into Quality Affordable Housing Communities in the Best Selling Book, - Blighted: A Story of People, Politics, and an American Housing Miracle

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 16:46:52 +0000

"Cities across the globe have experienced urban blight, where districts that have seen a significant downturn in fortunes are abandoned, residential and business properties left vacant. Responding to this change in fortunes is becoming an industry in itself."

What Causes Urban Blight -And What Can Be Done About it" ~ February 2023 blog.bluebeam.com

My Guest This Week Has Success in helping Real Estate Properties & Communities Revitalize

Blighted is a powerful narrative about the decades-long decay and remarkable two-year reinvention of Summerdale, an aging apartment community located in one of Atlanta’s grittiest corridors. From burnt-out, mold-infested buildings to traumatized classrooms, Blighted unfolds in the voices of ruthless drug dealers, phantom tenants, fearless landlords, the working poor, educators, and visionary local leaders.

After purchasing the property from an absentee overseas owner, Marjy Stagmeier and her partners methodically tackled the crisis festering inside the gated 244-unit apartment property. Two years of relentless work later, Stagmeier reveals how the team that she led built community from chaos. Through on-the-ground, in-the-moment interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, Stagmeier demonstrates how marginalized housing perpetuates intergenerational poverty and the collapse of nearby public schools while showing the multifaceted challenges of improving dire living conditions.

Blighted offers a unique insider perspective of the political, human, and economic challenges of delivering equitable housing in a market fueled by inflationary prices, insatiable demand, and competing and often dubious agendas. Summerdale’s success is a bright model of how affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social capital can interconnect to build vibrant, sustainable communities―affordable housing communities, nearby schools, and the community at large. From there, kids, families, working people, and neighborhoods can thrive.

Episode 2644: Ralph Neas ~ C-Span, CNN ,NBC, Renowned Civil/Disability Rights Leader. Lawyer talks Civil Rights History & Civil/Disability Rights Preservation

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 03:00:33 +0000

CBS's Face the Nation, ABC's Nightline, CBS's Sunday Morning, NBC's Today Show, PBS,, CNN,, Fox; National Public Radio;Washington Post, NewYork Times, are just some of the places you have read or seen him!

Civil & Disability Rights are the topics of this show. With Civl Rights History being Preserved for Generations to learn about, What about Disability Rights with it's Multiracial History of Leadership & Activists?? I am concerned.

Ralph was an author of the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973& the American with Disabilities Act along with many others in many Drafts it took to get through a Bi-Partisian Congress as the national law. His work in Civill Rights is amazing as he was trained by many icons including Dorothy Height, Senator Edward Brooke (R, MA), Benjamin Hooks, Roy Wilkins, Wade Henderson. Senator Edward Kennedy, Bayard Rustin

You hear very little of Black Disability Leaders & Activists that are so pivitol to helping in this fight. Brad Lomax, The Black Panters, Dr. Sylvia Walker, (my mentor), Don Galloway or The Honorable Rep. Major Owens ( D, NY). & the Honorable Justin Dart, Tony Coehlo, Ed Roberts, Senator Lowell P. Weicker(R.CT) & others to advance Disability Rights & ADA History.

Ralph Neas was both active duty and reserve in the United States Army (1968–1976). In late 1971, he joined the Congressional Research Service's American Law Division at the Library of Congress as a legislative attorney on civil rights. In January 1973, he was hired as a legislative assistant to Republican Senator Edward W. Brooke of Massachusetts, eventually becoming the Senator's chief legislative assistant.

From 1981 through 1995, Neas served as Executive Director of the nonpartisan Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR), the legislative arm of the civil rights movement. Neas coordinated successful national campaigns that led to the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Civil Rights Restoration Act; the Fair Housing Act Amendments of 1988; the Japanese American Civil Liberties Act; the preservation of the Executive Order on Affirmative Action (1985–1986 and 1995–1996);and the 1982 Voting Right Act Extension.Final passage on all these laws averaged 85% in both the House of Representatives and the Senate; in addition, another 15 Leadership Conference on Civil Rights legislative priorities were enacted into law in the 1981–1995 period

"The Americans with Disabilities Act Award" from the Task Force on the Rights of the Empowerment of Americans with Disabilities for "historic leadership regarding the enactment of the world's first comprehensive civil rights law for people with disabilities" October 12, 1990;

Benjamin Hooks "Keeper of the Flame" award from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the 91st Annual Convention, Baltimore, Maryland, July 10, 2000

Episode 2642: Elinor Tatum ~ Prestigious EPPY & NYPA Award Winning New York Amsterdam News Owner ~ The Importance of 117 Years of Black Owned Media in the 21st Century

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 19:44:39 +0000

EPPY & NNPA Award-Editor & Publisher Honoree

Elinor Tatum currently serves as publisher, editor-in-chief, and CEO. The newspaper launched a companion web site and online edition, amsterdamnews.com, in 2009. She was recently awarded the prestigious the EPPY Award honor excellence in digital publishing by Editor & Publisher Magazine.

She is the first Owner/ Black Publisher to have won the EPPY. New York Amsterdam New has won over 30 Presitigious Awards for Oustanding Jounalism!

The Amsterdam News was founded on December 4, 1909, and is headquartered in the Harlem neighborhood of Upper Manhattan. The newspaper takes its name from its original location one block east of Amsterdam Avenue, at West 65th Street and Broadway..

An investment of US$10 in 1909 (equivalent to $339 in 2023) turned the Amsterdam News into one of New York's largest and most influential Black-owned-and-operated business institutions, and one of the nation's most prominent ethnic publications. It was later reported that James Henry Anderson published the first copy: "...with a dream in mind, $10 in his pocket, six sheets of paper and two pencils."

The Amsterdam News was one of about 50 black-owned newspapers in the United States at the time it was founded. It was sold for 2 cents a copy (equivalent to $1 in 2023) from Anderson's home at 132 West 65th Street, in the San Juan Hill section of Manhattan's Upper West Side. With the spread of Blacks to Harlem and the growing success of the paper, Anderson moved the Amsterdam News uptown to 17 West 135th Street in 1910. In 1916, it moved to 2293 Seventh Avenue, and in 1938, it moved again, to 2271 Seventh Avenue. In the early 1940s, the paper relocated to its present headquarters at 2340 Eighth Avenue (also known in Harlem as Frederick Douglass Boulevard). Subscribe @ amsterdamnews.com

In August 1982, Wilbert A. Tatum, chairman of the AmNews Corporation's board of directors and the paper's editor-in-chief, became publisher and chief executive officer. Under Tatum's leadership, the Amsterdam News broadened its editorial perspective, particularly in international affairs. This expanded thrust has produced considerable interest and readership from all sectors of the local, national and international communities.

In July 1996, Tatum bought out the last remaining investor, putting the future of the paper firmly in the hands of the Tatum family. In December 1997, Tatum stepped down as publisher and editor-in-chief and passed the torch to his daughter, Elinor Ruth Tatum, who at the age of 26 became one of the youngest newspaper publishers in the United States. Mr. Tatum died in 2009.

Episode 2640: Clifton Taulbert ~ Pulitzer Prize Nominated, Award Winning Author & Entrepreneur on Community Connections & Lasting Success

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 19 Oct 2025 18:53:52 +0000

Library of Congress, the NAACP, Rotary International

“Your will to succeed remains one of your greatest assets.”

Clifton Taulbert

According to Clifton L. Taulbert, noted author and entrepreneur businessman, he could have failed had he not encountered community builders and entrepreneurial thinkers early on in his life. Taulbert was born on the Mississippi Delta during the era of legal segregation where he completed his secondary education. Though opportunities were few and barriers were plentiful, Taulbert managed to dream of being successful, not knowing the shape that success would take. Today Taulbert is the President and CEO of the Freemount Corporation (a human capital development company) serving clients nationally and internationally-Fortune 500 Companies, small businesses, federal agencies, professional organizations, community colleges and K-12 leadership. Additionally, entrepreneur Taulbert is the President and CEO of Roots Java Coffee-an African-American owned national coffee brand, importing coffee from Africa. To pass his life lessons along, Taulbert shares his entrepreneurial journey with others as a Thrive15.com mentor.

He is a Generational Bridge of Segregated Times tio Integrated Times Today.

In "The Invitation," Clifton Taulbert returns to the themes of "Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored," his award-winning book and the source of a major motion picture. This new memoir chronicles Taulbert's transformative experience of a supper invitation to a former plantation house in Allendale, South Carolina, where the successful adult confronts his childhood memories and wrestles with the legacies of slavery and segregation that demand to be acknowledged in his present circumstances.
Transported back to a setting that looks and feels like the cotton fields and shotgun shacks of his childhood, Taulbert finds himself expected to cross racial barriers that no "colored" man could have broached without dire consequences. "The Invitation" is the story of the man and the little boy inside him wrestling with a past they both know so well, and of stepping into a future that is still being determined.

Taulbert is a trustee of the University of Tulsa, has been recognized international by the Sales and Marketing Academy of Achievement, the Library of Congress, the NAACP, Rotary International as a Paul Harris Fellow and has been a recipient of the Jewish Humanitarian of the Year Award and the Richard Wright Literary Award. The Freemount Corporation is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Billboard Magazine -. Frm Tokyo Bureau Chief, At the 16, Elise Krentzel became a Journalist & at 19, she was the youngest journalist on the KISS Japan Tour.

Rest in Power Ace!!

Her Book "Under My Skin Trauma, Drama, and Rock n Roll" is the FIRST in a Trilogy.

We're Ready to Really ROCK n Roll!!.

"Elise Says"

"It takes courage to step out and write your truth, own it and forgive it. Neglect and abandonment, physical, emotional, and verbal abuse, narcissistic parents and a host of malcontents to add flavor and color to the toxic mix that was my childhood.

Yet light always shines through, right? I channeled my talents, hopes and ambition into writing about music and became a rock journalist as a teenager. I toured with Kiss on a press junket at 19 in Japan. That was just the beginning!

Please CELEBRATE with me today! My book is now available and I’m dancing around my apartment with a bottle of bubbly. Get your rock ‘n’ roll on!"

Elise Krentzel's fast paced memoir, Under My Skin has earned #1 new release in these categories: Biographies of Rock Bands, Music Business, Rock, Composers & Musicians, and Jewish life. She shares how she took charge of the tumultuous 1970s by making a name for herself as a rock journalist when still a teenager. As a kid, she was encouraged by her parents to sing, play music, and write, but she wasn’t allowed to be “herself.” Alienated, she hid her heart and learned to become a stranger in her own skin as the torment of early childhood taught her to mistrust everyone, especially herself.

She's a multiglot: author, ghostwriter, mentor, public speaker, and communications entrepreneur who has lived in five countries for over twenty-five years. Starting in Japan from 1977 to 1984, she owned a talent and booking agency, introduced punk rock, was a DJ and, music journalist. As Tokyo Bureau Chief for Billboard Magazine, Elise introduced the Sony Walkman and Laserdisc technology to a western audience during her stint.

Episode 2634: Cynthia Tucker ~ Pulitzer Prize Winning Syndicated Columnist ATL Journal & Frye Gaillard ~ Award Winning Journalist Talk Culture Shift in "their Book The Southernization of America"

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 18:05:22 +0000

With America In Major New Administration & the Political News View Headlines Changing Everyday, This Book is Particularly Intriguing Now!!

In 1974 John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie. Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton’s thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America’s current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today, the racial backlash against President Obama, family separation on our southern border, the rise of the Christian right, the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on our nation’s capitol. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege.

Frye Gaillard is an award-winning journalist with over 30 published works on Southern history and culture, including Watermelon Wine; Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America; The Books That Mattered: A Reader’s Memoir; Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family’s Civil War Letters; Go South to Freedom; A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost; and The Slave Who Went to Congress. A Hard Rain was selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2018. Writer-in-residence at the University of South Alabama, he is also John Egerton Scholar in Residence at the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi. He is the winner of the Clarence Cason Award for Nonfiction Writing, the Lillian Smith Book Award, and the Eugene Current-Garcia Award For Distinction in Literary Scholarship. In 2019, Gaillard was awarded the Alabama Governor's Arts Award for his contributions to literature.

Cynthia Tucker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist who has spent most of her career in journalism, having previously worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as an editorial page editor and as a Washington-based political columnist. She has also been featured as a political commentator on television and radio. Tucker’s work as a journalist has been celebrated by the National Association of Black Journalists (who inducted her into its hall of fame), Harvard University, and the Alabama Humanities Foundation. She spent three years as a visiting professor at the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and is currently the journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama.

National Suicide Prevention Week, an annual week-long campaign in the United States to inform and engage health professionals and the general public about suicide prevention/warning signs of suicide

A Noted Film Director, Hezues R, who's been applauded by The U.S. President of the United States & worked with the likes of Ciroc Vodka, Russell Simmons on successful media campaigns, He addresses the issue of mental health, through a movie called "Suicide Saint".

Through all of this madness is one issue that has plagued people of color with very few having the courage to address – mental health. The World Health Organization (WHO) states over 800,000 people commit suicide every year – that’s one person every forty seconds. Also, the National Council for Behavioral Health notes that 46% of adults in the USA experience mental illness. In communities of color, according to the non-profit community organization, Mental Health America, out of 13% of Black Americans in the USA (according to the Census Bureau), 16% reported having mental illness – that’s over 7 million people (more than the overall populations of Chicago, Philadelphia and Houston combined). Finally, the Center for Disease Control published that suicides and attempted suicides cost the nation almost $70 billion per year in lifetime medical and work-loss costs alone.

Not many filmmakers have been honored by one President of the United States, let alone two. Then again Hezues R isn’t your average filmmaker, as none other share the combination of his adversity and accolades , all the more reason why the entertainment industry is taking notice of this film protégé’s next project, which he claims will be his masterpiece: SUICIDE SAINT.

If you know Hezues R, then you’ve likely been inspired, as his own life is bigger than a movie. At 22 years old, he survived a barrage of bullets fired at him point blank 22 times by three would-be assailants His survival is nothing short of a miracle but still not as miraculous as his meteoric rise in entertainment - from high school dropout and drug dealer to self-made creative titan. No college, mentor, backers or connections - just a relentless work ethic and pure undeniable talent. From creating the official fragrance for the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton to running Sean P. Diddy Combs’ advertising campaigns (Ciroc, Sean John , Deleon) as an executive producer, while finding creative ways to give back and interject social impact in his content, like the critically acclaimed film, “April Showers.”

With suicide rates rapidly increasing and almost half of adults experiencing mental illness, Hezues R declares that “Rome is burning and as a society we’re not giving enough concern to the media we create - which influences how we see ourselves and each other” His mission is to save lives by making the film “Suicide Saint” and in the process, change the protocol of Hollywood. Hezues R believes in art over algorithms and that films shouldn’t just be made for profit but the added value of social good and the sake of creating something beautiful and inspiring. Hezues R gained fast followers, such as the United Nations, as they’ve selected his film as the sole movie they’re endorsing in the International 40 Days Safer Cities initiative- with “Suicide Saint” being day #20 which also falls on Oct 10th - World Mental Health Day.

Episode 2629: Niles, Elite Lyricist & GRAMMY® Winner Nabate' Isles Talk About Their GRAMMY® Nom Tribute SuperHero "Ode to Chadwick Boseman

GRAMMY® Award Winning Trumpeter- Elite Poet & Lyrist " & Grammy Nom Tribute

When acclaimed actor Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther, 42, Get On Up) passed away in August 2020, it inspired Niles to create a tribute verse about him that he released online, resulting in resounding praise. Grammy-winning trumpeter and producer, Nabaté Isles contacted his friend, Niles and suggested that they make a full record about Chadwick and the rest was history. When “Niles & Nabaté” linked, they needed a powerful singer and they knew just who to contact, an amazing Detroit vocalist named Beth Griffith-Manley. Beth has toured for years with Anita Baker and Kem, recorded on projects with Yolanda Adams and was featured on NBC’s “The Voice”. Beth was delighted to be featured because, like Niles & Nabaté, she has a tremendous respect for Chadwick Boseman and his legacy.

The record is a great song with a sound that is reminiscent of the classic Hip-Hop with a soulful-pop undertone fusing African percussion, giving it a tribal and organic essence. This sonic cornucopia makes it a timeless piece of musical art. As the song reflects on Chadwick Boseman’s resonating impact on the world, it is sure to make a contribution to keeping Chadwick Boseman’s legacy alive forever.

“Super Hero: Ode To Chadwick Boseman” is on Bandcamp, Amazon, Spotify, Youtube Music, and many more digital music platforms. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Chadwick Boseman Charitable Fund For The Arts.

Episode 2622: Robert H. Mayer ~ Award-Winning author of In the Name of Emmett Till & The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (At Issue in History) Talks Children Roles in Civil Rights History

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 00:35:22 +0000

Best-Selling Author & Distinguished Carter G. Woodson book award presented to exemplary books written for children and young people each year at the NCSS Annual Conference.

My Show looks at the Important Role Children Payed in The Fight for Civil Rights in America. I consider it a Privilege to cover the True Foot Soldiers who were physically THERE during the Events that Changed History in American Civil Rights to All.

My Guest is author Robert H. Mayer author of the book "In the Name of Emmett Till"

Children played a significant role in Birmingham’s crucial civil rights struggle, and this stirring history of the movement, with many photos, news reports, and quotes from all sides, emphasizes the connections between the young people’s power and that of the big leaders. Martin Luther King called Birmingham the most segregated city in America, and his Letter from Birmingham Jail is quoted at length. But when the adults’ protest lost momentum, the leaders’ decision to call on young people galvanized the movement--Hazel Rochman

Robert H. Mayer is the award-winning author of When the Children Marched: The Birmingham Civil Rights Movement and the editor of The Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a teacher, Mayer’s passion continues to be making history relevant and accessible to young people. His time spent in Jackson, Canton, and McComb, Mississippi, as well as meeting scholars and activists integral to the civil rights movement, fueled the desire to write In the Name of Emmett Till. He lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with his wife Jan, where he writes, teaches, and tutors youth in a local middle school.

The 1955 murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi is widely remembered as one of the most horrible lynching's in American history. African American children old enough that year to be aware personally felt the terror of Till’s murder. These children, however, would rise up against the culture that made Till’s death possible. Over the next decade, from the violent Woolworth’s lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, determined to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world.

CNN, CBS, NBC, FoxBusiness.com and Black Enterprise

Let’s Talk About Money!!

My Guest Rob Wilson has been dubbed “Hip Hop’s Financial Advisor” because he is a trusted advisor to professional athletes & entertainers; Rob believes that we can all learn from their success. However, Rob states: "I realized that as a financial advisor, I have also come into contact with, and have as clients, a plethora of doctors, lawyers, accountants, architects, business people and entrepreneurs that are living fabulous lives. In fact, many of these individuals live lives that are far more enriching than a number of these celebrities, because of the fact that, due to their inability to manage their money, the average celebrity’s “high life” is short lived. However, the stories of these wildly successful “non-celebrities” has largely gone untold…"

Rob is originally from Pittsburgh. He received his bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and his Masters in Business Administration from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University.~ securethebag.me

Episode 2612: Thomas Foley J. D. ~ Executive Director of National Disability Institute ~ADA 35, Financial Equity, Inclusion & Freedom

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Tom Foley began 2021 as the new Executive Director of National Disability Institute (NDI).

Trained as a tax lawyer and financial planner, Tom has more than 30 years of experience in the disability community. As a person who is blind, he has been an advocate and dedicated his career to partnering with other thought leaders to address the complex drivers of economic inequality and create pathways to employment and financial security for the most vulnerable communities. In addition, Tom has been instrumental in developing and influencing federal and state legislation to encourage employment and increase participation of people with disabilities in employment and wealth-building programs. He most recently held the position of Managing Director at the World Institute on Disability.

Tom says:
I think financial institutions, educators and banks each have to recognize the disability community as a specific market segment of the population that have been traditionally underserved and have a demonstrated need for access to financial tools and services. Once they make the decision to work with the disability community, they need to partner with organizations who are particularly well-positioned to provide industry technical assistance to reach the disability community and further the financial industry’s inclusion goals – like National Disability Institute. For example, NDI reaches two million people per year and has been doing this for 15 years. We are particularly well situated, through our research, policy and practice, to reach this community.

In addition, it’s important for banks and financial institutions to target people with disabilities through their CRA activities. NDI’s Center for Disability-Inclusive Community Development (CDICD) works to improve the usage of the opportunities and resources available under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). This is really important as millions of dollars, that could help people with disabilities in LMI communities, goes unspent every year. Through NDI’s research, we’ve identified that Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities with disability are the most underserved.

How do we change this? Financial institutions, in particular, need to make a concerted effort to work with and support this segment of the community. In addition, we, the disability community, need to be intentional in our own efforts to better address these issues.

Episode 2611: Tony Coehlo ~ Veteran, Frm U.S. Congressman, Corporate Business Exec, Primary Author & Sponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ADA 35

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 16:46:49 +0000

Frm Congressman, Author of the ADA

Happy ADA 35

Tony Coelho has spent his entire adult life helping advance the lives of people with disabilities. He calls this his “ministry”. Congressman Steny Hoyer, former House Majority Leader, says that the disability community call him their “voice” and “champion.”

Diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 22 years old, Tony's ministry is marked by significant milestones: primary author and sponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) — the most important piece of civil rights legislation in the last 40 years; advocating for the ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; and convincing President Bill Clinton to establish the Office of Disability Employment Policy at the U.S. Department of Labor. Tony continued to advocate for civil rights for individuals with disabilities by convincing President Barack Obama to issue an executive order enforcing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requiring federal contractors and subcontractors to hire people with disabilities as they have been doing since 1973 for women and minorities. He went on to work with the Biden White House to improve access to the internet for individuals who are blind, deaf, and physically impaired.

Tony is a former six-term United States Congressman from California, elected in 1978 and serving until 1989. He served on the Agriculture, Interior, Veterans Affairs, and Administration Committees during his tenure, specializing in disability rights. In 1986, Tony was elected House Majority Whip, the third most powerful position in the House of Representatives.

After leaving Congress, Tony joined Wertheim Schroder & Company, Inc., an investment-banking firm in New York, where he served as a Managing Director and then as President and CEO of Wertheim Schroder Investment Services, a firm that he grew from $400 million to $4 billion in managed investments.

He formed ETC w/TCI, an education and training technology company in Washington, D.C., where he served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Currently, he serves on a number of corporate boards of directors and i the founding partner of a national public affairs firm.

Episode 2606: Charlie Ingui of The Soul Survivor's ~ talks “Expressway to Your Heart", Philadelphia International's #1 Major Music Hit Breakthru

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 00:23:23 +0000

Gamble & Huff, Philadelphia International Rock & Soul Classic

Charlie Ingui, Original Lead Vocalist still records & tours go check him out! ~ thesoulsurvivors.com

R.I.P. Ritchie Ingui, original vocal half of the Soul Survivors. He transitioned in early 2017.
Original group member Kenny Jeremiah Transitioned in December of 2020.

Memorable Intro, AWESOME Classic Hit, a Kenny Gamble &Leon Huff hit that Helped launch the Legendary Philadelphia International Record Label.

I am a Music Lover of All Styles, Generations. This Week I Flashback.......

The Soul Survivors, originally from New York City, grew up listening to the R & B groups of the 1950’s. The sounds of groups like the Moonglows, Heartbeats, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers had a great influence on brothers Charlie and Rich Ingui. With various street corner groups, they developed their vocal skills. While in high school, Charlie joined the vocal group from Queens, N.Y. the Dedications. When, a year later the group’s lead singer decided to leave, brother Rich was recruited. While performing at clubs in the New York area, they found themselves at the mercy of various house bands and decided to find a group of musicians who would become permanent members of the group therefore creating a self contained unit. The group would be renamed THE SOUL SURVIVORS.

Shortly thereafter, the group began to build a strong following, playing venues in Atlantic City and Philadelphia. Enjoying great success in Philadelphia, they attracted the attention of record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Into the recording studio they went, emerging with " Expressway To Your Heart " a song that would climb to #3 on Billboard's R&B chart and #4 on it's Top 100 list. The success of " Expressway " became Gamble and Huff's first "crossover" hit when it began to be played on both black and white radio stations. It's success enabled Gamble and Huff to reach the large audiences they sought in order to bring their " Sound Of Philadelphia " to the mass Market. In polls taken by both the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia’s City Paper, " Expressway" was voted the number one record ever to come out of Philadelphia. "Expressway " was followed by two other chart records, "Explosion In My Soul" and " Mission Impossible". Their first album, released in 1968, was " When The Whistle Blows ". A second LP, on Atco Records, called "Take Another Look" appeared in 1969.

During this time, the group toured extensively throughout the U.S. appearing with many different types of artists...everyone from Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles to Janis Joplin, the Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Sly and the Family Stone and countless others. In 1974, the Soul Survivors reunited with Gamble and Huff to record their self titled album "The Soul Survivors" on TSOP Records. It was written and performed in a style that would define the unique sound of The Soul Survivors.The album produced "City Of Brotherly Love" which would show up on Billboard’s R&B Top 100 and become the group’s fourth charted outing.

Episode 2602: Enertia Homes ~ TIME Magazine, Green Builder, House & Home - Modern Marvel in Green Living!

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 04:20:11 +0000

TIME Magazine - Enertia® Homes Their Company Slogan - "Your House Should Take Care of You......... Not the Other Way Around!"

Featured on: Popular Science, How Stuff Works

Enertia® Homes use an ingenious design, and the science of materials, to heat and cool buildings without fuel or electricity. Fitted with Photovoltaic panels, and a metal seamed roof, homes can be self-reliant for heating, cooling, electricity, water and food. This is a modern Building System, an integrated group of innovations and a construction technique so basic, yet amazing and effective, it has been called a Modern Marvel- A Time Magazine Invention of the Year & 2011 Zayed Future Energy Prize, "Innovative Structure of the Century Award", AWPI Century's Best Award.

These are not conventional “stick-frame” single-generation houses. The walls are solid wood, and the design life is hundreds of years. Comfort is by design and from a unique structural material, not from a mechanical/ electric compressor or furnace. The roof can generate electricity and capture water. The sunspace harvests energy, and in it you can harvest food. Most have a built-in "biosphere," modeled after planet Earths’ that draws energy from the sun, and geothermal stability from the ground, creating a temperate climate that buffers the primary living space. Your personal Greenhouse Effect warms your house in winter. Naturally-induced air currents cool it in summer.

"When we started over 35 years ago the terms Bio-mimicry, Green Building, Carbon Sequestration, and Life-Cycle Analysis did not exist. Enertia® homes pioneered these goals that others are still striving to achieve." ~ Enertia.com

Robin Roberts & Whoopi Goldberg LOVE Them!!

Music & Munchies is My Show Theme This Week: Soul Snacks Cookie Company!

Music for this Segment: CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers - Let's Dance
(Live At The House Sídney 2013)

Everyone wants to be a leader in a world where people don’t often possess the experience or expertise to be in the lead. That is gained from mastering the skills and learning to follow. Ralph Rolle is a prime example of learning to follow becoming born to lead.

Ralph followed his older brother in learning the drums, but that he led him to becoming a premier musician, who has created music with everyone from super producer Nile Rodgers and his iconic disco/R&B group Chic, pop legends Sting and Bono, the 1st woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Aretha Franklin, hip-hop giants Biggie Smalls and Queen Latifah, jazz superstar Chris Botti, the queen of Neo-Soul Erykah Badu, Vanessa Williams, soul crooner D’Angelo, songstylist India Arie, Lady Gaga, Dolly Pardon, Bono, Roger Daltry, John Legend, Joss Stone, Elvis Costello and playing in the resident band for N.B.C. ‘It’s Showtime at The Apollo’ for over 15 seasons. Ralph has also served as the musical director for syndicated “The Caroline Rhea Show” and he served in the same role for Japanese R&B/soul superstar Toshi Kubota.

Ralph took the time, any time he had the time, to stop and cook and enjoy life. It helped him to come down from the tension and time on the road that was always in motion. Cooking, another gift he received from his mother, gave him the peace of mind he needed to slow down and breathe. And in learning his way around the kitchen, he started to bake. hat stayed with him and when he was hanging out with his musician friends, he would have his signature cookies. At first they laughed, but quickly the request became “please bring those cookies with you!”

Over time, his cookies found their way into the hands of clients such as Westside Market, Franks Market, and many more. Good Morning America host chose Soul Snacks for her holiday gifting in 2011. In 2015, Bette Midler and Ralph met when Nile Rodgers and Chic were the guest artists and Ms. Midler’s annual Hulaween Charity event. Ralph had his “cookie calling card” with him. Ms. Midler loved Soul Snacks so much that she placed orders for her family and friends. Soon, he was selling his cookies at Melba’s, a legendary soul food restaurant in Harlem. The orders poured in and soon, he was featured in CNN, BET, ABC and FOX networks, in New York Times newspaper and in The Source and Vibe magazines. From there, Ralph gave birth to “SOUL SNACKS.”

SOUL SNACKS offers a variety of delicious cookies such as Georgia Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Peanut Butter, Down Home Double Chocolate Chip, Ebony and Ivory Almond Cookie, Grampy’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie, French Cocoa Chocolate Chip, Miami Raisin Walnut, Chunked Up Chocolate Walnut, Cranberry Oatmeal Raisin, Joyful Gingerbread and the most recently added, but now #1 seller, Sweet Potato Cookies. “Inside of every cookie is years of heart, soul and lots of pride that has been the main ingredient of SOUL SNACKS Cookies for over a decade.”

Episode 2595: Dr. Victor Santiago Pineda ~ Global Leader of Ability/Mobility Inclusion & Empowerment, Exec. President of The " CIL" Talks Transformation & Vision

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 27 May 2025 16:00:00 +0000

Dr. Victor Santiago Pineda as the new Executive Director of CIL!

With his extensive experience as a global advocate for disability rights and his innovative vision, Dr. Pineda is set to lead bThe center for Independent Living into an exhilarating new chapter of empowerment and inclusion.

Victor Santiago Pineda was born in Caracas, Venezuela, At the age of two, Pineda was hospitalized with a high fever and for the next five years he demonstrated gradual weakening of his skeletal muscles. By age four, his weakened muscles caused him to fall repeatedly and by age seven, he stopped walking completely. His muscular deterioration would continue and eventually affect his breathing. By the time he was in high school, he needed to use a ventilator at night, and by the time he started his doctoral program in his late-twenties, he required a ventilator twenty-four hours per day.

As a child, Pineda was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA-Type II), a form of muscular dystrophy. However, as an adult, he was examined by a neurophysiologist who, with the use of electromyography, determined that there was no evidence to suggest Spinal muscular atrophy. The specific cause of Pineda's muscle weakness was identified as collagenopathy VI, resulting from an extremely common genetic mutation.

Pineda attended Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, California, and was selected by his graduating class as a commencement speaker. Upon graduating in 1997, Pineda attended the California Youth Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF). As a freshman at the University of California Berkeley, he received specialized support services provided by the Disabled Students Office (DSP) and participated in the Disabled Students Residence Program (DSRP).[cita

While at UC Berkeley was elected senator for the ASUC student government, defended ethnic studies, with the leadership of Andrew Berk, hehelped resurrect the long dormant Disabled Students Union (DSU). During this time he established the Disability Media Initiative (DMI) and the Pineda Foundation to provide 21st century workforce skills to youth with disabilities. Pineda earned a B.A. in political economy, a B.S. in business administration and, eventually, a master's degree in city and regional planning (MCP) with a concentration in regional economic development. He then accepted an internship in Washington, D.C., where he served as a summer associate at the US Treasury's Department of International Affairs.

IPineda was awarded the American Association of People with Disabilities Paul G. Hearne Award.Pineda's "It's About Ability" projectwas honored in Montenegro for the Best Humanitarian Action by UNICEF.Also in 2011, he received the prestigious Mark Bingham Award for Excellence in Achievement by a Young Alumnus/a, Cal Alumni Association for his work in education and human rights.

Episode 2587: Gianni Russo ~ Movie Actor in The Academy Award-Winning Trilogy "The Godfather" & Any Given Sunday on Game Changing Your Brand!!

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +0000

The Godfather 1 & 2, Any Given Sunday Rush Hour 2

I just read on impactful book called : Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & The Mob! I read it cover to cover because it was intense & fascinating.

Actor Gianni Russo has led an intriguing life.

Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny—played by James Caan—up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act—he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing.

Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films.

Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex—and fun.

Gianni Russo Wines launched nationally in 2009. And he has an expanded product line coming out this year.

Born in Manhattan and raised in Little Italy and Staten Island, Russo overcame polio as a child to start his first “business” at the tender age of twelve, selling pens and erasers on the street corners. At eighteen Russo made his first trip to Miami, where he began to dabble in show-business, working in nightclubs and hotspots before deciding to pursue acting and move to Hollywood.

His Book: Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & the Mob is an eye-opening read.

Welcome to Earth Month!

During Spring, you enjoy fresh food from the garden. Greens such as lettuce, arugula and mustard, along with some cool-weather crops including kale and Swiss chard can be grown in a cloche or cold frame. Many root crops and brassicas will overwinter for a spring harvest.

At the age of 10, Ahmed Hassan discovered his love of gardening and working outdoors. To many children, mowing lawns, trimming shrubs and stacking wood would be considered mundane chores. Not to Ahmed. With each completed task, he was building confidence and moving closer to his purpose in life, teaching others the importance of combining creativity with hard work. Ahmed’s love of landscaping paved the way to a successful career as one of today’s most sought after Celebrity Landscape professionals and Green Industry Experts

His Unique Personality was seen on The “Crashers” brand and format was born with spin off shows House Crashers, Bath Crashers, Room Crashers and Kitchen Crashers. Ahmed also hosted a couple seasons of a landscape competition show, “Turf War” on DIY Network. Landscape gardening has never before been showcased in a way that was so exciting to watch on television.

He attributes his success in life to his many years of sobriety and the support and spiritual philosophy of his blended family. His entrepreneurial parents taught him the value of creating a business with the work you enjoy most.

Ahmed’s rural roots, mixed with inner city upbringing, has given him a unique ability to relate to people from all walks of life.

Episode 2580: Jay King ~ GRAMMY® Award Balloted Platinum Music Label Owner, Producer, Songwriter, Vocalist on Biz Music Ownership & Economic Success

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +0000

GRAMMY® Balloted Club Nouveau, Timex Social Club

Grammy Award Balloted singer and music label executive, Jay King, was elected CEO/President of the California Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) in June of 2019.

GRAMMY® Award Balloted Jay King/Club Nouveau's music & samples have been featured in many TV & Film Soundtracks including the #1 Hit Movie "US" by Director Jordan Peele!

This week, I look at how a brand can stay relevant decade after decade.

As a veteran mogul Jay King brings as much humility to the field as he does what has been called his genius. With three decades of continuous achievements in music, management, film/TV/radio, consulting and publishing; King has made an indelible impression. He claims Northern California in general as his hometown due to a nomadic youth spent between many of the Bay Area’s cities; as well as Alaska for birthing his career. There was a deep musical undercurrent added to his early years by a clan which boasted a number of ministers, extending from his great-grandfather through a number of cousins, who all played instruments as well. His great uncle, Saunders King, a respected jazz/blues guitarist, offered the West Coast the first family hit in the 1940’s—‘The S.K. Blues’—adding to the musical backdrop of King’s childhood.

In 1986, King starting the independent record label JAY Records to release the Timex Social Club hit ‘Rumors’ and ushered in the biggest selling single of 1986 (3.5 million copies) and becoming the #1 R&B single on the Billboard Charts. With a Top 10 single on the Billboard Pop charts for over 56 weeks, King watched his life change as his music became an unprecedented hit. What he’d produced was history-making, as nobody had before taken an R&B song from an indie label to such heights. Although having independently produced, pressed and marketed his own music King was without the money to compete at radio plays and had to be creative with promoting. “There were challenges. You couldn’t reach out to stores, and social media didn’t exist then so you couldn’t let people know with a click of a button that you had something out. You had to get out and hustle. People were making fun of me and laughing because I was out hustling records.” Bypassing traditional methods, King utilized Macola Records because of its position as an indie manufacturer with no association to a major label.

Such moves from a 24 year old entrepreneur made the year 1986 even more memorable, as he quickly followed up with a label/production deal with Warner Brother Records and his King Jay Records label, subsequently releasing the first Club Nouveau single ‘Jealousy’ and the album, ‘Life, Love & Pain’. After ‘Jealousy’ went to #8 on the Billboard R&B charts in September of 1986, followed by ‘Situation #9’ (#4 Billboard R&B charts), 1987 came in with an even bigger bang when ‘Lean On Me’ was released in February and became #1 Billboard Pop/#2 Billboard R&B platinum single, winning a Grammy for R&B Song of The Year.

Club Nouveau's music is in heavy demand commercially in movies and is sampled in many of today's artists hit makers like Ashanti, Chris Brown and many more.

The group is STILL on the scene, performing hundreds of LIVE concert a year & recording NEW music!

Episode 2575: Mark " Money" Green ~ Hip-Hop, Rap Promoter, Talent Agent, The Sugar Hill Gang, Prince, Backstreet Boys, Grandmaster Flash, Salt-N-Pepa, Eddie Murphy, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince ,Jay-Z. in his Book The Show Must Go On

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Salt-N-Pepa, Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan,

An industry veteran who currently serves as one of the directors for the Hip Hop Museum, Green outlines his career spanning five decades. This includes producing concerts and/or representing as a longtime agent for artists such as Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, the Backstreet Boys - among others

Then there’s the fine line between the grind in the streets and the hustle in the industry. Mark battled with con artists, drug dealers and pimps and people trying to show off their local high profile at the expense of his artists. “I didn’t get too caught up in that because I had to keep one eye on the money!” He stayed focused, even when distractions of every kind showed up on the road–drugs, groupies, out-of-control artists–and he kept many ships afloat when everything should have drowned. But again, the show must go on.

Mark’s stellar reputation put him in high demand and working with Melba and soon Freddie Jackson, Dru Hill, Al B Sure, Grandmaster Flash, a young Usher and music pioneer Prince solidified his reputation in the industry. He would join Associated Booking Corp, where his talent for spotting rising stars and his love for hip-hop led to the signing of such game-changing artists as Salt-N-Pepa, Roxanne Shante, Kid & Play, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. He would go on to become Director of Marketing at EMI/Capitol Records and expanded again, this time into radio, promotions, and into the fields of jazz and rap, earning accolades in promotions and even producing, writing, and publishing successful tracks like "Remember the First Time" for singer Eric Gable and "Midnight Hour" for rapper Lady Spice MC.

Green moved as the industry moved and found himself in independent marketing and promotions consulting and secured a record deal with Light Year/Warner Brothers for his independent label, with singer/songwriter and R&B legend Teena Marie as his first artist. A year later, working with Northstar Distribution, Green became General Manager, distributing music for Prince's independent label, where the purple one signed R&B music siren Chaka Khan and the soul-stirrer and crooner Larry Graham on the artist’s NPG Records.

Soon, shaping his own destiny, Green launched Celebrity Talent Agency, representing a wide array of artists, where he’s secured talents for tours, festivals and commercials nationally and globally. Ever-expanding his vision, Green also serves as Associate Director/General Manager of Lehman Performing Arts Center, Chairman of Artist Relations for The Hip-Hop Museum (THHM), and maintains ownership of Celebrity Talent Agency.

The Show Must Go On! His riveting story of the industry's ups and downs and his own personal experiences will inspire anybody who believes in themselves to believe that they can live their wildest dreams!

Episode 2573: Dana Hee ~ Olympic Gold Medalist/TV & Film Actress, Hollywood Stuntwoman, Author Talks Lasting Courage

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 18:28:53 +0000

Olympic Gold Medalist Dana Hee. She is grateful to God for her victories. Dana may be a familiar face, not only from winning the "Gold" bunot only from winning the "Gold" but from television & movies like Mortal Combat, Charlie's Angels, Lethal Weapon & many more. Dana Lynn Hee is an Olympic Gold Medalist and is currently a Hollywood film and television actress, as well as one of an award winning stuntwomen in the entertainment industry. . She has also doubled for Hollywood's top actresses': Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Gwynneth Paltrow, Renee Russo, and Jennifer Garner.

She also a noted writer, lecturer and television color commentator, and has an extensive background as a speaker to Fortune 500 companies. It's an understatement to say that Dana's childhood was hard. The child of divorced, alcoholic parents, she endured abuse, abandonment, and despair. The years of being passed back and forth between an orphanage, suicidal family members, halfway houses, a commune, government shelter, and finally a foster home, took their tole. Dana grew up to be a young woman with little self-esteem or self-confidence, and a huge fear of failure. To her, nothing seemed possible. It was as if the two words, 'I can't' were programmed into her mind, and she struggled to escape a lifelong habit of running from her fears. Dana looked within herself for strength and determined to make a change. Armed with an ounce of courage, and a glimpse of hope, she set out to make a dream of hers come true. Through the agonizing, against-the-odds process of this struggle, she made the transformation from a shy, under-achieving, below-average young woman to an Olympic Gold Medalist with a new sense of self-esteem, and, finally, some hope for the future.

Her story of how this happened - and the lessons you can take from it - are enough to inspire the most discouraged soul. But Dana didn't stop there. She started accepting speaking engagements, then graduated to keynote speeches. She shifted from martial arts, to modeling, and then acting, before setting her sights on becoming a top Hollywood stuntwoman in the movie industry. If this sounds easy, it wasn't. To this day, Dana battles self-doubts whose roots extend back to her youth. But she never quits. She competes successfully in the world's most challenging industries.

Dana's autobiography, One Step with Courage: The Story of My Life From Olympic Gold Medalist to Hollywood Stuntwoman, was released in May 2020. Taekwondo Life Magazine featured her story and book release in March, 2021, as part of its International Women's Day Celebration ~ DanaHee.com

Episode 2571: Dionne Warwick ~2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, Kennedy Center Honoree, 6x GRAMMY® Award winning Music Legend

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 22:32:43 +0000

CNN, HBO Max

Legendary US singer Dionne Warwick 2025 Inductee Class in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

The news came shortly after the 82-year-old star became one of the latest recipients of a Kennedy Center Honor, alongside comedian Billy Crystal and actor Queen Latifah.

The Don't Make Me Over tour will begin its UK leg at Gateshead's The Glasshouse on Sunday 5 May, 2024, with tickets going on sale via Ticketmaster.

In 2023, we saw the debut of her Documentary that aired on CNN New Year's Day featuring Legendary Music Icons like the late Burt Bachrach, Jerry Blavat, Chuck Jackson, as well as Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, & Smokey Robinson.

She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with “Don’t Make Me Over.” Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” "Promises Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl’s in Love With You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls. ”Together, Warwick and her songwriting team of Burt Bacharach & Hal David, accumulated more than 30 hit singles, and close to 20 best-selling albums, during their first decade together.

Warwick received her first GRAMMY® Award in 1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second GRAMMY® in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.” She became the first African-American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance. This award was only presented to one other legend, Miss Ella Fitzgerald.

In 1970, Warwick received her second GRAMMY® Award for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” and began her second decade of hits with Warner Bros. Records. In 1974, she hit the top of the charts with “Then Came You,” a million-selling duet with The Spinners. She then teamed up with Isaac Hayes for a highly successful world tour, “A Man and a Woman.”

In 1976, Warwick signed with Arista Records, beginning a third decade of hit-making. Arista Records label-mate Barry Manilow produced her first Platinum-selling album, “Dionne,” which included back-to-back hits “I’ll Never Love This Way Again,” and “Déjà vu.” Both recordings earned GRAMMY® Awards, making Warwick the first female artist to win the Best Female Pop and Best Female R&B Performance Awards.

Warwick’s 1982 album, “Heartbreaker,” co-produced by Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, became an international chart-topper. In 1985, she reunited with composer Burt Bacharach and longtime friends Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder to record the landmark song “That’s What Friends Are For,” which became a number one hit record around the world and the first recording dedicated to raising awareness and major funds (over $3 Million) for the AIDS

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 22:56:45 +0000

He persevered by learning to appreciate and embrace diversity, people resources, and conflicting opinions. While his success grew at Coca-Cola, Thornton did the unthinkable: set out to be the first African American to own a McDonald’s franchise in Birmingham. This thorny journey was peppered with threats, attempts to thwart his mission and a marriage he could not keep from falling apart. He absorbed the “try, try and try again” motto, and came to see that failure was a prelude to feasting upon the sweet fruit of success. Thornton made up his mind that he would spend each day on a mission to show his unbending gratitude for his life and its benefits by fostering a supreme attitude and maintaining consistency in vision, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to principles. Thornton’s journey from Madison Park, Montgomery, has been a long one. “Why Not Win?” reflects on his most useful lessons and the anecdotes associated with them

He teaches Success Principles of Leadership at his "The Why Not Win Institute" launched with Dr. Zillah Fluker in November of 2018 and in the last several years has been delivered at more than 20 colleges, universities & corporations. Find out more at:~ LarryThornton.com

Roundtree has held successful Money Investment Seminar through Atlanta, Milwaukee (his hometown), Houston and Chicago. He’ll be in each city for at least two days – the first for the Cocktails & Credit meetings, then for private mastermind events the following day.

Also, Roundtree’s podcast series air's on the Sister 2 Sister 2.0 platform.

When asked what he hopes his living legacy will be after helping others understand credit, money and finance, Will offers, “I don’t care what they say about me because I’m solely focused on what they learn. I am concerned about the takeaway. What were they able to get from their time with me? That’s what matters to me. That is really the impact I want to leave.” CocktailsandCredit.com

Episode 2564: Joseph Cooney, Esq. ` Civil Rights Foot Solider, of Dr. Martin Luther King talks Selma Bloody Sunday/Edmund Pettis Bridge & his First Hand Experience!

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:00:00 +0000

Time Magazine, CNN, Media Images & Reporting Reflect the Colors of Change.

This Week I Take Time to Reflect & Just Breathe. Also Reflect of Things Happening in Our World. In Remembrance of Jimmie Lee Jackson & The Late Honorable John Lewis (D,GA).

In 2025, We are STILL Fighting the Good Fight for Voter's Rights for ALL.

I have been Blessed to Meet, Learn, Train & Work along side of Several Civil Rights Icons. On of them was the Late The Honorable John Lewis (D,GA) who Fought & Marched in 2020 to the Very End!!

I have attended events Remembering the History, People & Sacrifice.

The Fight for Justice Continues Today in 2025 as People Take to the Streets to Voice their Opinions to Help Bring About Change.

My Guest this Week was asked to join the Selma March in Alabama in 1965 by Dr. Martin Luther King. His name: Joseph Cooney Esq., then a newly ordained Priest. He also worked with SCLC in the Voters Registration Summers of 1966-67.

In 1965,State Troopers Clashed with Citizens marching to Montgomery, Alabama to petition the state for African-American's Right to Vote. Many lives would change in this fight. Some lives both Black & White lost. The March from Selma to Montgomery was inspired by the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson was a civil rights activist in Marion, Alabama, and a deacon in the Baptist church. On February 18, 1965, while participating in a peaceful voting rights march in his city, he was beaten by troopers and shot by Alabama State Trooper John Bonard Fowler Jackson was unarmed and died eight days later in the hospital.

His death was part of the inspiration for the Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965, a major events in the American Civil Rights Movement that helped gain Congressional passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This opened the door to millions of African Americans being able to vote again in Alabama and across the South, regaining participation as citizens in the political system for the first time since the turn of the 20th century, when they were disenfranchised by state constitutions and discriminatory practices.

CNN, C-Span ~ It's the 60th Anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" March of Selma to Montgomery, Alabama & the Annual Remembrance of Jubilee ~ The Week Long Celebration & Workshops highlight the various parts that made the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's a Success! On Sunday will be the annual March Across the Edmund Pettis Bridge.

In 2025, Our Freedoms are Being Tested: Rights to Work, Education, Human, Civil/Disability Rights, Veteran's Rights, etc.

The 2025 jubileee Celebration Events are March 679th in Selma Alabama. You can find out more on the Website Link here: selmajubilee.com

This annual event in Selma, Alabama, commemorates "Bloody Sunday," which occurred March 7, 1965 when a group of about 525 African-American demonstrators gathered at Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church to demand the right to vote. They walked six blocks to Broad Street and across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where they were met by more than 50 state troopers and a few dozen possemen on horseback. When the demonstrators refused to turn back, they were brutally beaten. At least 17 were hospitalized,

FYI: Activist Jimmie Lee Jackson murder on February 26th 1965 sparked the March across the Edmund Pettis Bridge.

There were THREE Marches across The Bridge BECAUSE the First on March on March 7, 1965, resulted in Violence against the Marchers; The Second March on Tuesday, March 9, 1965. Martin Luther King led the March & prayed at the beginning of the Bridge. The last March was held March 17 with permits & saftey, The Marchers crossed the Bridge.

Senator Henry “Hank” Sanders is the second of 13 children born to Ola Mae and Sam Sanders of Baldwin County, Alabama. He challenged the twin obstacles of poverty and racism to: graduate from Douglasville High School, Talladega College, and Harvard Law School; establish a law practice; and serve as the first African American State Senator from the Alabama Black Belt. He is married to Faya Ora Rose Touré, formerly Rose M. Sanders, and they have three children by birth, four by foster relationship, and many by heart.

In 1971, Sanders began what became Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, Pettaway and Campbell, LLC. At one time, it was the largest Black law firm in Alabama and one of the ten largest in the country. His law practice is one of service: helping poor and Black people save their lands, protecting people’s constitutional rights, challenging corporate abuse, and helping build strong governments to serve all people. He served as one of three lead counsel in the nationally known $1.2 billion Black Farmers Discrimination Litigation.

As a community person, Sanders has helped found and build many organizations and institutions, including the following: Alabama New South Coalition, where he currently is President Emeritus; 21st Century Youth Leadership Movement; Alabama Lawyers Association; Black Belt Human Resources Center; McRae Learning Center; the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute; the Slavery and Civil War Museum; C.A.R.E. (Coalition of Alabamians Reforming Education); the Selma Collaborative; the Bridge Crossing Jubilee; WBMZ-105.3 FM Radio Station; and more.

Episode 2555: Clifton Taulbert ~ Pulitzer Prize Nominated Author, President and CEO of the Freemount Corporation & Roots-Java Coffee

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 01:44:46 +0000

Clifton-Taulbert

He is best known for his books Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored and Eight Habits of the Heart: Embracing the Values that Build Strong Communities.

According to Clifton L. Taulbert, noted author and entrepreneur businessman, he could have failed had he not encountered community builders and entrepreneurial thinkers early on in his life. Taulbert was born on the Mississippi Delta during the era of legal segregation where he completed his secondary education. Though opportunities were few and barriers were plentiful, Taulbert managed to dream of being successful, not knowing the shape that success would take. Today Taulbert is the President and CEO of the Freemount Corporation (a human capital development company) serving clients nationally and internationally-Fortune 500 Companies, small businesses, federal agencies, professional organizations, community colleges and K-12 leadership. Additionally, entrepreneur Taulbert is the President and CEO of Roots Java Coffee-an African-American owned national coffee brand, importing coffee from Africa. To pass his life lessons along, Taulbert shares his entrepreneurial journey with others as a Thrive15.com mentor.

He is a Generational Bridge of Segregated Times to Integrated Times Today.

In "The Invitation," Clifton Taulbert returns to the themes of "Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored," his award-winning book and the source of a major motion picture. This new memoir chronicles Taulbert's transformative experience of a supper invitation to a former plantation house in Allendale, South Carolina, where the successful adult confronts his childhood memories and wrestles with the legacies of slavery and segregation that demand to be acknowledged in his present circumstances.

Taulbert has authored thirteen books, several of which are foundational to his consulting philosophy: Eight Habits of the Heart and Who Owns the Ice House-Eight Life Lessons from an Unlikely Entrepreneur [Who Owns the Ice House is part of a Kauffman Foundation sponsored education initiative to expose the impact of the entrepreneurial mindset at all levels] and more recently, Shift Your Thinking: Win Where You Stand and The Invitation-living beyond the lingering lessons of race and place. Taulbert's Eight Habits has become foundational to his work on leveraging community as an asset in the workplace, and garnered him an invitation to address members of the United States Supreme Court as a personal guest of former Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O’Connor.

Clifton L. Taulbert is a trustee of the University of Tulsa has been recognized international by the Sales and Marketing Academy of Achievement, the Library of Congress, the NAACP, Rotary International as a Paul Harris Fellow and has been a recipient of the Jewish Humanitarian of the Year Award and the Richard Wright Literary Award. The Freemount Corporation is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

In her early career, she manufactured a salad dressing; The Little Chef’s dressing was a popular item in health food stores, and customers were disappointed when it was no longer available. One day while shopping in one of the stores where the dressing had been sold, Annette encountered a lady who asked, “You’re The Little Chef aren’t you?” “Yes, well, I was.” replied Annette. “They told me that you stopped making the dressing, and I am, now, looking for something comparable to it. My son says that if he can’t have The Little Chef’s, then he just won’t eat salads.” “What a commercial!” thought Annette; however, she would not be swayed by such remarks. The reason she had produced the dressing in the first place was because people said she should market it; so she did, but she lacked the passion to see it though to its greatest potential.

Annette’s desire to help others achieve a healthier lifestyle is manifested through the production of her DVD Annette’s Raw Kitchen and her booklets Journey To Health and Journey To health 2. Having investigated assorted career opportunities, she now recognizes that the health field is where she belongs, and she plans to serve in that arena for as long as possible! ~ AnnetteLarkins.com

Several of the classic hit song's she sings backup on: Sam Cooke's ~ "Chain Gang", Bobby "Boris" Pickett ~ "The Monster Mash" "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" ~ The Righteous Brothers "Walking In The Rain" ~ The Ronettes The Beach Boys ~ "In My Room" "Poor Side of Town" ~ Johnny Rivers "Rock and Roll Lullaby" ~ B.J.

Darlene Love was just a high school sophomore in Los Angeles when she was discovered out of a gospel choir, and asked to join a burgeoning girl group called The Blossoms, who began recording for Phil Specter. Soon thereafter, other artists like Sam Cooke were attracted to her powerful sound, and sought Darlene on their recordings. With The Blossoms and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, Darlene sang lead vocals on some of the greatest music hits of the 60's. The Blossoms landed a weekly spot on the landmark television series SHINDIG & Elvis's 1968 Comeback Special and through the 60's and 70's, Darlene continued to perform with and back-up such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Sonny & Cher.

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 04:00:00 +0000

Anderson Cooper, AGT Winner, The View, CNN, Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Fox, The Talk.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I Talk with Landau about his Succesful His Career & What He is Grateful For!

His is a true rags to riches story; car wash rags. When Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. showed up to audition for America’s Got Talent, he was singing to pass the time while grinding out a living washing cars. The only “nice” clothes he owned were the ones on his back: a pair of jeans, a modest button down striped shirt, and jacket. Fortunately, you don’t need a large wardrobe to win America’s heart.

He’s performed all over the world, from China to New York City, Los Angeles to Europe where he had the honor to perform for U.S. servicemen and their families stationed there. He’s sung the national anthem prior to games by the Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, New York Rangers, Baltimore Orioles, Oklahoma City Thunder, Washington Nationals, and his beloved West Virginia University Mountaineers during a nationally televised homecoming game.

You need talent, and Landau has truckloads of that. Since wowing the judges with his interpretations of classics by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and walking away with the million dollar grand prize in front of 14 million weekly viewers on AGT, Landau has released his Columbia Records debut “That’s Life” (the CD hit #1 on the Billboard Jazz chart and was produced by Grammy winner Steve Tyrell, who also helmed Rod Stewart’s Great American Songbook album). Landau has performed all over the country, from the California State Fair to New York’s famous Apollo Theatre, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to the Marina Civic Center in Florida and all points in between. Along the way, he has appeared on The Today Show, The View, CNN, Fox and Friends, The Wendy Williams Show, The Talk, Anderson Cooper, Tom Joyner, Sirius XM, NPR, and dozens of other outlets.

Landau was named “West Virginian of the Year” by his home state where he has performed a series of sold out concerts helping raise over a half million dollars for state charities. He’s played a special command performance at the Governors Inauguration, won Reality TV Personality of the Year in Hollywood, and was honored to perform with his band for U.S. Troops in Germany. He is currently on tour with Glenn Leonard,formally of The Temptations; Joe Blunt,formally of The Drifters and Joe Coleman, formally of The Platters. But all that success hasn’t made Landau forget his roots. He was born in the Mountain State of West Virginia and continues to live there rather than move to entertainment industry hubs like Los Angeles or New York. “West Virginia will always be my home,” says Landau, “and home and family are the most important thing in the world to me. I can always fly out to LA or New York for work, but being here helps keep me humble and grounded. I’m just very fortunate to be living my dream.”

Recently, Landau and award winning co-author Rick Robinson have written America’s Got Talent Winner Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.: From Washing Cars to Hollywood Star, a book chronicling Landau’s All-American success story. He’s also completed an album full of holiday favorites, Christmas Made For Two. His touring schedule stays booked with shows all over the country including numerous CD and book signing appearances. He and the incredibly talented “Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. Big Band” are currently beginning his Classic Christmas Crooners Tour with a full slate of concerts at home and abroad. All Rights Reserved

After a stint in the Navy, Bobby’s musical journey began in Honolulu, Hawaii. He was invited to join the world-famous Doo-Wop Group “The Love Notes” by Papa Mars and son, Little Bruno (now known as Pop Star Bruno Mars.)

While Bobby was emerging as an entertainer, he came across many opportunities to recreate the persona of Jackie Wilson because of his uncanny resemblance, voice, and moves that were almost identical to Jackie’s. During this time, he learned that he was actually Jackie Wilson’s biological son!

Since that time, Bobby has emerged into a Global Entertainer with his own shows including: “Jackie Wilson, The Legacy Continues,” “Bobby Brooks Wilson, The Motown Years,” and his latest show, “Bobby Brooks Wilson’s Red Tie Tour.”

Episode 2523: Ron Drach ~ U.S. Presidential Appointee, Military Vietnam Veteran, Purple Heart Honoree, ,Disability & Veteran's Rights Leader

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 21:19:09 +0000

Purple Heart Honoree, Vietnam Veteran ~

Ron Drach was a Presidential Appointee along with my Mentor in College when I was at Howard University,

He is a subject matter expert in military and veterans issues with more than 50 years of experience. After losing a leg as a result of combat in Vietnam, Ron medically retired from the U.S. Army in 1967 with a Purple Heart.

Soon after, he focused his life on working to help his fellow disabled veterans. Following nearly three years with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), he joined the staff of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in 1970. Beginning in DAV’s Pittsburgh office, Ron rapidly rose to become the organization’s national employment director in 1975. He was the first Vietnam veteran to be appointed a director at DAV. In this post, he established the reputation he maintains today as one of the nation’s foremost authorities on employment issues impacting veterans and others whose lives have been affected by disabilities. Ron’s responsibilities led him to provide significant input into America’s response to the needs of veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder, homelessness, racial and gender discrimination and other socio-economic issues. He became a leading voice on questions involving Social Security disability benefits, as well as efforts to remove barriers that impede the lives and employment of people with disabilities.

Many times throughout his career, Ron has appeared before congressional committees, offering expertise and recommendations for legislative change. After leaving the DAV, Ron was employed by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (DOL/VETS). As the director of government and legislative affairs, he was responsible for working with congressional staff, the Department’s Office of the Solicitor and others within the agency on all legislative employment issues that affect the departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs. He is currently the president of Drach Consulting. Throughout the years, Ron has served on many commissions that strive to enhance the lives of disabled veterans and other people with disabilities. Ron recently served as a member of DOD’s Recovering Warrior Task Force after being appointed by former DOD Secretary Gates.

He has also served on the governing boards of the President’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, the National Coalition of Homeless Veterans, the National Resource Directory and others. Ron’s high-profile volunteer activity has included service as a team leader for the U.S. Paralympics Sitting Volleyball Team that competed in the 2000 International Paralympics Competition in Sydney, Australia. He was one of the founders and served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Wounded Warrior Project including four years as its president. He currently serves on the Boards of United Spinal Association and TransCen. He also serves in an advisory capacity to ThanksUSA and the DC Metro Business Leadership Network and chairs their Wounded Warrior Committee. Ron is also a co-author and co-editor of the Warrior Transition Leader Medical Rehabilitation Handbook. He is a frequent contributor to the DC Metro Business Leadership Network’s electronic newsletter.

Ron lives in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., with his wife, Carolyn, a retired financial analyst for the Federal Reserve. They have two adult daughters, Tiffany and Amber, and two grandchildren.

Episode 2522: Robert " Kool" Bell ~ 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Honoree, Grammy® Honoree, Hollywood Walk of Fame

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 04:19:59 +0000

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Grammy® Honoree, Hollywood Walk of Fame

Let's Celebrate 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame IHonoree Robert " Kool" Bell & Kool & The Gang!

Robert's NEW Brand is. La Kool. lKool had always envisioned having his own brand out of Europe. For many years, he sought out Grand Cru Vineyards from owners that have been selling for generations and decided to work with Paul Berthelot, a Multi-Vintage Grand Cru Producer since 1884.

Kool & the Gang, officially launched in 1969, after performing for five years under various band titles, has influenced the music of three generations and the band has become true recording industry legends. Thanks to iconic songs like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness and Open Sesame, they’ve earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums

In 1969, Kool & the Gang released their self-titled debut album/ It was the introduction to a theme, music is the message, that Kool & the Gang stands by today. The instrumental album was an expression of their deep love of music. It was also an introduction to their signature sound and the fierce horn arrangements created by Khalis, Dee Tee, and Spike. Their debut album spawned their first Billboard R&B charted single Kool & the Gang and later Let the Music Take Your Mind. In 1970, their audacious sophomore set Live at the Sex Machine peaked at #6 on Billboard’s R&B chart and yielded three hit singles: Funky Man, Who’s Gonna Take the Weight, and I Want to Take You Higher. Next came The Best Of Kool & the Gang Featuring The Penguin, Kool & the Gang Live at PJ’S, Music Is The Message, and Good Times, all of which helped solidify a sound that wowed not only fans but such contemporaries as James Brown and Nina Simone.e 80’s would see them dominate the mainstream, starting with the double platinum-selling album Celebrate (driven by the international monster hit Celebration, which spent six weeks atop the R&B chart and became a #1 Pop single). Celebration, which played as the American hostages returned from Iran, remains de rigueur at joyous occasions worldwide. The smashes Get Down On It, Take My Heart, Let’s Go Dancing, Joanna, Tonight, Misled, the #1 R&B, #2 Pop giant Cherish and the #1 R&B anthem Fresh (these last three from the multi- platinum LP Emergency) solidified the group’s international stardom. Kool & the Gang landed global commercial endorsements, supported countless charitable causes and were the only American group to participate in Band Aid’s 1984 Do They Know It’s Christmas project for famine victims in Africa. With the explosion of hip-hop in the 90’s, Kool & the Gang’s incredible catalog of grooves made them DJ favorites. They were second only to R&B icon James Brown as sources of rap music samples. Today, the group enjoys global fame and recognition and a following that spans generations due in part to the groups widely sampled catalogue.

This episode. I Get to Chat with Fellow Washingtonian NFL Super Bowl Champion Vernon Davis!!

In the 2011–12 NFL playoffs with the 49ers, Davis caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Alex Smith against the New Orleans Saints, referred to as "The Catch III". In 2015, he was traded to the Denver Broncos, where he won Super Bowl 50 with the team over the Carolina Panthers. Davis then signed with the Washington Redskins in 2016, where he played until his retirement following the 2019 season.

Davis attended Truesdell Elementary in Washington, D.C., and later attended Paul Public Charter School for middle school. However, Paul did not have a football team, and thus Davis played for neighboring MacFarland Middle School. He went on to attend Dunbar High School in Washington. He was a letterman in football, basketball, and track & field. Rated as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Davis was listed as the fourth-best tight end prospect of the class of 2003] At Dunbar, he was teammates with future Cleveland Browns kick return specialist and wide receiver, Josh Cribbs.

In track & field, Davis recorded a personal best of 10.7 seconds in the 100 meters, and was the DCIAA champion in the high jump with a jump of 6 ft 6 in (198 cm). He was also a member of the 4 × 100 m (43.68s) relay squad.

Gamble & Huff, Philadelphia International Rock & Soul Classic

Charlie Ingui, Original Lead Vocalist still records & tours go check him out! ~ thesoulsurvivors.com

R.I.P. Ritchie Ingui, original vocal half of the Soul Survivors. He transitioned in early 2017.
Original group member Kenny Jeremiah Transitioned in December of 2020.

Memorable Intro, AWESOME Classic Hit, a Kenny Gamble &Leon Huff hit that Helped launch the Legendary Philadelphia International Record Label.

I am a Music Lover of All Styles, Generations. This Week I Flashback.......

The Soul Survivors, originally from New York City, grew up listening to the R & B groups of the 1950’s. The sounds of groups like the Moonglows, Heartbeats, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers had a great influence on brothers Charlie and Rich Ingui. With various street corner groups, they developed their vocal skills. While in high school, Charlie joined the vocal group from Queens, N.Y. the Dedications. When, a year later the group’s lead singer decided to leave, brother Rich was recruited. While performing at clubs in the New York area, they found themselves at the mercy of various house bands and decided to find a group of musicians who would become permanent members of the group therefore creating a self contained unit. The group would be renamed THE SOUL SURVIVORS.

Shortly thereafter, the group began to build a strong following, playing venues in Atlantic City and Philadelphia. Enjoying great success in Philadelphia, they attracted the attention of record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Into the recording studio they went, emerging with " Expressway To Your Heart " a song that would climb to #3 on Billboard's R&B chart and #4 on it's Top 100 list. The success of " Expressway " became Gamble and Huff's first "crossover" hit when it began to be played on both black and white radio stations. It's success enabled Gamble and Huff to reach the large audiences they sought in order to bring their " Sound Of Philadelphia " to the mass Market. In polls taken by both the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia’s City Paper, " Expressway" was voted the number one record ever to come out of Philadelphia. "Expressway " was followed by two other chart records, "Explosion In My Soul" and " Mission Impossible". Their first album, released in 1968, was " When The Whistle Blows ". A second LP, on Atco Records, called "Take Another Look" appeared in 1969.

During this time, the group toured extensively throughout the U.S. appearing with many different types of artists...everyone from Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles to Janis Joplin, the Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Sly and the Family Stone and countless others. In 1974, the Soul Survivors reunited with Gamble and Huff to record their self titled album "The Soul Survivors" on TSOP Records. It was written and performed in a style that would define the unique sound of The Soul Survivors.The album produced "City Of Brotherly Love" which would show up on Billboard’s R&B Top 100 and become the group’s fourth charted outing.

Episode 2509: Enertia® Homes ~ TIME® Inventions Award Winner & New Pioneer Magazine Modern Marvel in Green Living!

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 09:21:42 +0000

TIME Magazine - Enertia® Homes Their Company Slogan - "Your House Should Take Care of You......... Not the Other Way Around!"

My spotlight is on Green Living Because of A LOT of Talk this Year About Global Warming & the Eco-System.

Enertia® Homes use an ingenious design, and the science of materials, to heat and cool buildings without fuel or electricity. Fitted with Photovoltaic panels, and a metal seamed roof, homes can be self-reliant for heating, cooling, electricity, water and food. This is a modern Building System, an integrated group of innovations and a construction technique so basic, yet amazing and effective, it has been called a Modern Marvel- A Time Magazine Invention of the Year & Zayed Future Energy Prize, "Innovative Structure of the Century Award", AWPI Century's Best Award. These are not conventional “stick-frame” single-generation houses. The walls are solid wood, and the design life is hundreds of years. Comfort is by design and from a unique structural material, not from a mechanical/ electric compressor or furnace. The roof can generate electricity and capture water. The sun space harvests energy, and in it you can harvest food.

Most have a built-in "biosphere" modeled after planet Earths’ that draws energy from the sun, and geothermal stability from the ground, creating a temperate climate that buffers the primary living space. Your personal Greenhouse Effect warms your house in winter. Naturally-induced air currents cool it in summer. "When we started 30 years ago the terms Bio-mimicry, Green Building, Carbon Sequestration, and Life-Cycle Analysis did not exist. Enertia® homes pioneered these goals that others are still striving to achieve." ~ Enertia.com

Episode 2503: Jay King ~ GRAMMY® Honoree, Timex Social Club, Club Nouveau, Music Label Exec, President CBCC Talks Your Brand & Legacy

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 17 Aug 2024 05:02:44 +0000

GRAMMY® winner Club Nouveau, Timex Social Club

Grammy Award winning singer and music label executive, Jay King, was elected CEO/President of the California Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) in June of 2019.

GRAMMY® Award winning Jay King/Club Nouveau's music & samples have been featured in many Soundtracks including the #1 Hit Movie "US" by Director Jordan Peele!

This week, I look at how a brand can stay relevant decade after decade.

As a veteran mogul Jay King brings as much humility to the field as he does what has been called his genius. With three decades of continuous achievements in music, management, film/TV/radio, consulting and publishing; King has made an indelible impression. He claims Northern California in general as his hometown due to a nomadic youth spent between many of the Bay Area’s cities; as well as Alaska for birthing his career. There was a deep musical undercurrent added to his early years by a clan which boasted a number of ministers, extending from his great-grandfather through a number of cousins, who all played instruments as well. His great uncle, Saunders King, a respected jazz/blues guitarist, offered the West Coast the first family hit in the 1940’s—‘The S.K. Blues’—adding to the musical backdrop of King’s childhood.

In 1986, King starting the independent record label JAY Records to release the Timex Social Club hit ‘Rumors’ and ushered in the biggest selling single of 1986 (3.5 million copies) and becoming the #1 R&B single on the Billboard Charts. With a Top 10 single on the Billboard Pop charts for over 56 weeks, King watched his life change as his music became an unprecedented hit. What he’d produced was history-making, as nobody had before taken an R&B song from an indie label to such heights. Although having independently produced, pressed and marketed his own music King was without the money to compete at radio plays and had to be creative with promoting. “There were challenges. You couldn’t reach out to stores, and social media didn’t exist then so you couldn’t let people know with a click of a button that you had something out. You had to get out and hustle. People were making fun of me and laughing because I was out hustling records.” Bypassing traditional methods, King utilized Macola Records because of its position as an indie manufacturer with no association to a major label.

Such moves from a 24 year old entrepreneur made the year 1986 even more memorable, as he quickly followed up with a label/production deal with Warner Brother Records and his King Jay Records label, subsequently releasing the first Club Nouveau single ‘Jealousy’ and the album, ‘Life, Love & Pain’. After ‘Jealousy’ went to #8 on the Billboard R&B charts in September of 1986, followed by ‘Situation #9’ (#4 Billboard R&B charts), 1987 came in with an even bigger bang when ‘Lean On Me’ was released in February and became #1 Billboard Pop/#2 Billboard R&B platinum single, winning a Grammy for R&B Song of The Year.

Club Nouveau's music is in heavy demand commercially in movies and is sampled in many of today's artists hit makers like Ashanti, Chris Brown and many more.

The group is STILL on the scene, performing hundreds of LIVE concert a year & recording NEW music!

Episode 2502: Don Siegelman ~ Frm Governor Speaks On Democracy & the Future!! Part 2

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 01:59:55 +0000

WSJ,TIME,CNN, MSNBC,FOX, NY Times have covered My Guest, Former Governor Don Siegelman a former American politician, lawyer and convicted felon who held several elected offices in the state of Alabama.

In Fact the April 21st editional of the Wall Street Journal just quoted him concerning the Coronavirus & Prisons not Built for Social Distancing.

He is back to talk about his Thoughts on the Coronavirus Pandemic, His Personal Experiences in Prison, Things He has Learned in the last decade Fighting for Justice & More.

His conviction was questioned by over 100 former attorney generals & officials & they petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to look into his case. National & International media have also covered his case: NY Times, CNN, FOX, TIME just to name a few. His NEW Book: "Stealing Our Democracy: How a Political Assassination of a Governor Threatens Our Nation" will be in Bookstores this Summer.

Siegelman was convicted of corruption in that a friend donated money to a charity on which Seigelman had once served on the board. Siegelman did not profit from the monies nor were any part of the funds transferred to him for his use. He served one term as the 51st Governor of Alabama from 1999 to 2003. As of 2020, Siegelman is the last member of the Democratic Party, as well as the only Roman Catholic, to serve as Governor of Alabama. He is the only person in the history of Alabama to be elected to serve in all four of the top statewide elected offices: Secretary of State, Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor and Governor. He served in Alabama politics for 26 years. In a searing political memoir, former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman explodes the myth of an impartial U.S. justice system. He should know. Arguably the most successful and promising politician in modern Alabama history, his three-decade career in public service ran afoul of rival opponents who used the federal judicial system to take him out of contention in Alabama and nationally. Siegelman ultimately was sentenced to 88 months in federal prison and served five years, with long stretches in solitary confinement during which he was a literal political prisoner, cut off from interviews and outside contact.

Episode 2494: The Legendary Little Anthony Talks Bout His Career, New Music, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & New York State of Mind!! Part 1

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Grammy® Nom, New Music, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & New Music, TV Appearances.

My Grand Folks & Family always had the Rock n Roll/Soul Classics playing when I went to Reunions & around the House during my Childhood. I consider this a GIFT!! I ALSO get the gift of Interviewing one of my Favorites: Little Anthony!!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee “Little Anthony” Gourdine is without question one of the most celebrated vocalists in the annals of popular music. His tender yet explosive delivery of a musical phrase leaves audiences spellbound with an impression so indelible that casual listeners never forget the ‘voice’ or the tunes he immortalized. These songs consistently emanate from airwaves and are often lauded in music journals worldwide. Songs such as “Goin’ Out Of My Head,” “I’m On The Outside Looking In,” “Hurt So Bad,” and “Take Me Back,” are simply four of a compendium of platinum hits performed by the extraordinarily gifted performer on national television and heard on classic and Top-40 radio spanning numerous decades. His latest blockbuster release is no will-o'-the-wisp, stab in the dark recording; it is a well-thought-out and substantive diary of songs, including many covers bearing his unmistakable vocal imprint. Producer Michael Miller spared no effort in tirelessly orchestrating a project that promises an enduring shelf-life titled LITTLE ANTHONY & THE MUSIC — AN ANTHOLOGY. Songs include the classics “A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening, ”Love is a Many Splendored Thing,” “What A Difference A Day Makes,” and “Who’s Sorry Now.” Forty memorable selections should keep you and your significant other reminiscing for some time to come. And if you’re not spoken for, you can enjoy it all to yourself for as long as you can imagine! There is something for everyone in these forever volumes. Despite many of the songs being standards, you’ll notice his articulate style blessing each track. Consider the infusive single and premier release "New York State of Mind." While some scratch their heads in wonderment upon hearing this cover for the first time, thinking: "That voice is familiar." And after a slight pause, like a ton of bricks it hits them: "That's Little Anthony!" For sure. And then they go on praising his vocal acumen, deservedly so. His R&B-laced rendering of "New York State of Mind" is a divergence from the perennial recording and sports an infectious 42nd Street vibe. It's performed so well that composer Billy Joel is likely to tip his hat. A popular legend recently said: "The Man's still got it!"

His new autobiography Little Anthony -- My Journey, My Destiny is not the traditional rags-to-riches -- cock-and-bull story and not the aimless tale landing everywhere.. “Little Anthony” Gourdine has brightened many a day for aficionados of ‘God’s musical gift to mankind’ everywhere with indescribably beautiful music that fills our hearts with Joy! .............. https://www.harmonystreet.biz/

Episode 2493: Thomas Foley J. D. ~ Executive Director of National Disability Institute talks Financial Transformation, Equity, Inclusion & Freedom

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 18:40:52 +0000

Tom Foley began 2021 as the new Executive Director of National Disability Institute (NDI).

In addition, it’s important for banks and financial institutions to target people with disabilities through their CRA activities. NDI’s Center for Disability-Inclusive Community Development (CDICD) works to improve the usage of the opportunities and resources available under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). This is really important as millions of dollars, that could help people with disabilities in LMI communities, goes unspent every year. Through NDI’s research, we’ve identified that Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities with disability are the most underserved. How do we change this? Financial institutions, in particular, need to make a concerted effort to work with and support this segment of the community. In addition, we, the disability community, need to be intentional in our own efforts to better address these issues.

Episode 2491: Cynthia Tucker ~ Pulitzer Prize Winning Syndicated Columnist & Frye Gaillard ~ Award Winning Journalist Talk Cultural/Political tilt in "The Southernization of America"

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 17:56:38 +0000

Pulitzer Prize & Nat'l Award Winning Journalists

With America In Major Election Year & the Political News View Headlines Changing Everyday, This Book is Particularly Intriguing Now!!

In 1974 John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie. Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton’s thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America’s current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today, the racial backlash against President Obama, family separation on our southern border, the rise of the Christian right, the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on our nation’s capitol. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege.

Frye Gaillard is an award-winning journalist with over 30 published works on Southern history and culture, including Watermelon Wine; Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America; The Books That Mattered: A Reader’s Memoir; Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family’s Civil War Letters; Go South to Freedom; A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost; and The Slave Who Went to Congress. A Hard Rain was selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2018. Writer-in-residence at the University of South Alabama, he is also John Egerton Scholar in Residence at the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi. He is the winner of the Clarence Cason Award for Nonfiction Writing, the Lillian Smith Book Award, and the Eugene Current-Garcia Award For Distinction in Literary Scholarship. In 2019, Gaillard was awarded the Alabama Governor's Arts Award for his contributions to literature.

Cynthia Tucker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist who has spent most of her career in journalism, having previously worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as an editorial page editor and as a Washington-based political columnist. She has also been featured as a political commentator on television and radio. Tucker’s work as a journalist has been celebrated by the National Association of Black Journalists (who inducted her into its hall of fame), Harvard University, and the Alabama Humanities Foundation. She spent three years as a visiting professor at the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and is currently the journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama.

CNN, Financial Expert aka "Bobby Dinero”

My Guest Rob Wilson has been dubbed “Hip Hop’s Financial Advisor” because he is a trusted advisor to professional athletes & entertainers; Rob believes that we can all learn from their success. However, Rob states: "I realized that as a financial advisor, I have also come into contact with, and have as clients, a plethora of doctors, lawyers, accountants, architects, business people and entrepreneurs that are living fabulous lives. In fact, many of these individuals live lives that are far more enriching than a number of these celebrities, because of the fact that, due to their inability to manage their money, the average celebrity’s “high life” is short lived. However, the stories of these wildly successful “non-celebrities” has largely gone untold…"

Rob is originally from Pittsburgh. He received his bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and his Masters in Business Administration from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University.~ securethebag.me

Episode 2482: Joanz & B3E ~ New Classic R&B, Electic Style. The Duo Talk Originality in Spirit & Timeles Lyrics in tracks:: Well Known & Song Speak

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 18:08:34 +0000

All In Entertainment Group ,Well Known , Song Speak

Ready for an AWESOME NEW Timeless Eclectic Music Duo
They were on separate paths and things just weren’t coming together. The music wasn’t hittin’ like they both believed it could. B3E (aka Evan Bendel) was about to walk out the door on music and leave it behind, getting on a new path and preparing for a new career in law enforcement. But the opportunity to continue to do what he loves and clearly was born to do happened when they teamed up. While Evan has always been called “Bee” because of his last name, he flipped this 3rd time's a charm destiny moment, put it in his name and invested his supreme vocals into this new iteration of his skills. The story for JOANZ (aka Kenzell Jones), who was just stepping into the game–finding his voice and trying to find his focus and his fire–is that he’s a wordsmith who grabbed his moniker from the motion picture “Love Jones” as a play on his musicality. That also includes his ability to play several instruments (bass, guitar, drums and saxophone). JOANZ had lyrics and needed something else, a voice that could punch up and push back on his verses with lyrics that helped the music catch fire. As fate would have it, a mutual friend introduced the duo, thinking it was for one song, one time only. But their convergence brought magic, just the magic that they both needed to forge ahead, so 2 solo artists put ego and pride aside and let the music ride. “We got into the studio and it was on and poppin’ since then.” The song that brought the duo together hasn’t even been released, but it did its job in bringing together these 2 talents to make music and set their sights on stardom

Inspired by everyone from Al Green, Michael Jackson, Commodores, Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire and Sam Cooke to Roger Troutman, OutKast, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne, with both artists heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, these young music makers know what a great duo can do when they put their minds and their melodies to work! With a sound and solid respect for music that covers genres and generations, B3E sings for his soul while Joanz spits lyrics that include a Luther Vandross reference on “IN MY EAR,” while “NO BREAKS” pays homage to Bobby Brown’s “Every Little Step,” but with a spin on it that talks about needing to take a step back and away.

JOANZ + B3E is a new era in music!

The familiar meets the ferocious!

The melodic “SONG SPEAK” is sinewy and sensual, but from a man’s perspective, it is unexpectedly vulnerable while playfully paying tribute to Aaliyah’s “Rock The Boat,” showcasing the vocal skills of B3E and the floetry of JOANZ. The opposite is true of “WELL KNOWN,” with the hook “I ain’t really with the handouts and I don’t wanna fit in I’d rather stand out!” It’s a declaration that tells you that they didn’t come into the game to just have material success. They use vocals and verses to talk about hard work, commitment to their art and their audacity in believing that it’s their time! “N***s ain’t been where I be, seen what I seen. (Now they) all on me (like they) all know me.” Audacity goes to another level with “NOTICE ME,” their newest joint, telling the story of working hard as a young father (B3E) and a young cat with something to prove to the streets and to him. “It’s just me, I ain’t have a Plan B!”

Gamble & Huff, Philadelphia International Rock & Soul Classic

Charlie Ingui, Original Lead Vocalist still records & tours go check him out! ~ thesoulsurvivors.com

R.I.P. Ritchie Ingui, original vocal half of the Soul Survivors. He transitioned in early 2017.
Original group member Kenny Jeremiah Transitioned in December of 2020.

Memorable Intro, AWESOME Classic Hit, a Kenny Gamble &Leon Huff hit that Helped launch the Legendary Philadelphia International Record Label.

I am a Music Lover of All Styles, Generations. This Week I Flashback.......

The Soul Survivors, originally from New York City, grew up listening to the R & B groups of the 1950’s. The sounds of groups like the Moonglows, Heartbeats, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers had a great influence on brothers Charlie and Rich Ingui. With various street corner groups, they developed their vocal skills. While in high school, Charlie joined the vocal group from Queens, N.Y. the Dedications. When, a year later the group’s lead singer decided to leave, brother Rich was recruited. While performing at clubs in the New York area, they found themselves at the mercy of various house bands and decided to find a group of musicians who would become permanent members of the group therefore creating a self contained unit. The group would be renamed THE SOUL SURVIVORS.

Shortly thereafter, the group began to build a strong following, playing venues in Atlantic City and Philadelphia. Enjoying great success in Philadelphia, they attracted the attention of record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Into the recording studio they went, emerging with " Expressway To Your Heart " a song that would climb to #3 on Billboard's R&B chart and #4 on it's Top 100 list. The success of " Expressway " became Gamble and Huff's first "crossover" hit when it began to be played on both black and white radio stations. It's success enabled Gamble and Huff to reach the large audiences they sought in order to bring their " Sound Of Philadelphia " to the mass Market. In polls taken by both the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia’s City Paper, " Expressway" was voted the number one record ever to come out of Philadelphia. "Expressway " was followed by two other chart records, "Explosion In My Soul" and " Mission Impossible". Their first album, released in 1968, was " When The Whistle Blows ". A second LP, on Atco Records, called "Take Another Look" appeared in 1969.

During this time, the group toured extensively throughout the U.S. appearing with many different types of artists...everyone from Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles to Janis Joplin, the Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Sly and the Family Stone and countless others. In 1974, the Soul Survivors reunited with Gamble and Huff to record their self titled album "The Soul Survivors" on TSOP Records. It was written and performed in a style that would define the unique sound of The Soul Survivors.The album produced "City Of Brotherly Love" which would show up on Billboard’s R&B Top 100 and become the group’s fourth charted outing.

President, National Cooley's Anemia Foundation

Ralph is BACK!!

Cooley's Anemia is a Fatal Genetic Blood Disease. The Cooly's Anemia Foundation is working with medical professionals enhancing the quality of life of patients and educating the medical , trait carriers and the public about Cooley's anemia/thalassemia major.

“When I was diagnosed, the outlook was grim, a life expectancy into my late teens, early twenties, with many warning me that living a normal life – having a family, working, living very far into my adult years – was not likely, but faith brought me all that and more. And while there are still many mountains a person with thalassemia has to climb, we now are in a position where a well-managed patient can enjoy many of the same things as a person not living with thalassemia. It’s a challenge, but I and others like me have learned to never give up. And definitely don’t stop believing!”

This episode is dedicated to encourage the Parents, Patients & Loved Ones that are learning about, managing & perservering everyday with Cooley's Anemia, the supporters of Thalassemia, Friends, Researchers & Physicians..

In Addition, this Show is a Dedication to the late Patient Ralph A. Cazzetta. He was a Cooley's
Patient, a Nurse, Friend & Great Support Peer to Many in their Life Journey thru thriving as a Thal Patient!!

History was made in 2022 at the annual board meeting of the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation (CAF) when Ralph Colasanti was elected the first person with thalassemia to serve as National President of the Foundation’s board of directors. The Foundation, which was started in 1954, is the primary voice for those with thalassemia, a group of genetic disorders, one of which is also called Cooley’s anemia. People with severe forms of the disease require lifelong blood transfusions as often as every 2 weeks and often beginning in infancy.

This simple, yet effective process has transformed thousands of lives all over the world and is the basis of the NY Times bestseller she co-authored with Chris Attwood, The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose & Shine Your Light: Powerful Practices for an Extraordinary Life by Janet Bray Attwood and Marci Shimoff .

Her personal stories of following her passions, of the transformations which people like Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield have experienced with The Passion Test, and the practical, simple exercises she takes people through to discover their own passions are a few of the reasons she gets standing ovations wherever she presents.

Episode 2471: Frank McKinney ~WSJ, Fortune, Barrons. Multi-Millionaire Innovative Real Estate Artist, Philanthro-Capitalist

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 02 May 2024 18:25:20 +0000

Wall Street Journal, CNN, Fortune, Barrons, HGTV

Frank McKinney is a true modern-day Renaissance man who has pushed the limits of success in his every endeavor. His early years were not very promising: upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), and seven stints in juvenile detention, he earned his high school diploma with a 1.8 GPA. With $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, he left his native Indiana for Florida in search of his life’s highest calling.

Today Frank and Nilsa, his wife of 32 years, split their time between Delray Beach and their “glass cottage” in the mountains of Canton, North Carolina. They enjoy visiting their 24 year-old daughter, Laura, in New York City, where she started and runs StrataBrand, a brand strategy firm.

ESPN, AP, USA Today, NFL Neurosurgeon, Ironman Triathlete

It is not everyday that I get to speak to a renowned neurosurgeon for the NFL. Yes! The National Football League. In addition, long time team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers

March 4, 2022 The NFL Physicians Society (NFLPS) awarded the Arthur C. Rettig Award for Academic Excellence to Joseph C. Maroon, MD. Dr. Maroon is a neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers for 38 years and recently presented at the NFLPS scientific meeting during the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. Dr. Maroon is the first Neurosurgeon to receive this award.

Joseph C. Maroon, M.D., FACS, is Professor and Vice chairman of the Department of Neurological Surgery and Heindl Scholar in Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is a world-renowned neurosurgeon, health and nutrition expert and Ironman triathlete. He obtained his medical and neurosurgical training at Indiana University, Georgetown University, Oxford University in England and the University of Vermont.

He is regarded as a premiere specialist in the surgical treatment of injuries and diseases of the brain and spine, particularly with microscopic and minimally invasive procedures. He had done extensive research into brain tumors, concussions and diseases of the spine that have led to many innovative techniques for diagnosing and treating these disorders. Consistently listed in America’s Best Doctors, he has an international referral base

Team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers since 1981, Dr. Maroon has successfully performed surgery on numerous professional football players and other elite athletes with potentially career-ending neck and spine injuries, safely returning them all to their high level of athletic performance. He serves on the National Football League’s Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee. Along with Mark Lovell, Ph.D., in the early 1990’s, Dr. Maroon co-developed ImPACT™ (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing), the first, most-widely used and most scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system. ImPACT is a 20-minute test that has become a world-wide standard tool used in comprehensive clinical management of sports-related concussions for athletes of all ages. Over 3 million athletes have been base-lined with ImPACT™.

Dr. Maroon is frequently quoted as an expert source by national media, recently including the New York Times, USA Today, Associated Press, ESPN, Sports Illustrated.

GRAMMY® Award Winning Multi-Instrumentalist, Producer, Songwriter and Arranger ~Philly Int'l, MFSB, Gamble & Huff

Tribute to the Songwriter, Musician, Bobby Eli (1946-2023)

Intro Music ~ TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) '73. Composed by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff
Music by MFSB , Vocals by The Three Degrees
(C) 1973 TSOP/Philadelphia International Records, Inc.

My Music Flashback Series continues this week featuring the genre of R& B. Soul & Funk.It can be a great tribute to a music artist when their style can influence current pop culture for century's & decades.

The genre of Soul, R & B & Funk is taken for granted today & the influence is heard & seen in grooves, style & fashions most of todays' pop artists. However, the original recording artists truly paid dues to get in the position to not only become recording artists, but to write & produce their work. At that time, some of the artists who created a new innovative style had the challenge of the music executives not understanding the genre, and some even refusing to promote the compositions. Today we call this music - classics & the artists trailblazers. My guest this week in one of them.

Bobby Eli is a Grammy Award Winning, internationally acclaimed Grammy Winning Record Producer, Engineer, Songwriter, Arranger and Multi-Instrumentalist.

Bobby was a founding member of the famed Philadelphia studio group, MFSB. If the music is Philadelphia International, Gamble & Huff / TSOP. Bobby's music is more than likely on it. His signature guitar licks can be heard on countless gold and platinum hit recordings by artists such as: Chris Brown, Jay Z, George Clinton, Elton John, David Bowie, Hall and Oats, The Jacksons, MFSB, The Ojay’s, Teddy Pendergrass, The Stylistics, Lou Rawls,Salsoul Orchestra, Patti Labelle, Phyllis Hyman, B.B. King, Dixie Hummingbirds, Billy Paul, The Spinners, Johnny Mathis, Deniece Williams, Wilson Pickett, Dusty Springfield, Nancy Wilson, and many other wonderful artists too numerous to mention.

As a songwriter and producer Eli was responsible for such monster hits as the Grammy winning number one song, “Love Won’t Let Me Wait”, as recorded by Luther Vandross, “Sideshow” and “Three Ring Circus” by Blue Magic, “Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely” by the Main Ingredient, the first two albums by: “Atlantic Starr”, self titled and “Straight to the Point”, the Grammy nominated album: “Love Niecy Style” by Deniece Williams, Rose Royce’s number one U.K. hit single “Magic Touch” and their album” Music Magic”. Bobby was responsible for the Jackie Moore number one dance classic,” This Time Baby”, the number one international hit singles “Zoom” by Fat Larry’s Band and “Love Town” by Booker Newberry III.

Artists as diverse as Luther Vandross, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Shaggy, Regina Belle, The Whispers, Isaac Hayes, The Dells, Sister Sledge, Englebert Humperdink, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and an array of
others have recorded Bobby’s songs.

Bobby now owns and operates The Grooveyard @ Studio E, a recording facility in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. His intimate studio is only minutes from his hometown, The City Of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. Here Eli is keeping real music alive and continues to be guiding light and inspiration to musicians and artists everywhere

Episode 2464: Ralph Colosanti ~ President of the National Cooley's Anemia Board of Director talks about Maintaining Success thru Life's Triumph's & Challenges Pt.1

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 18:24:45 +0000

President, National Cooley's Anemia Foundation

Cooley's Anemia is a Fatal Genetic Blood Disease. The Cooly's Anemia Foundation is working with medical professionals enhancing the quality of life of patients and educating the medical , trait carriers and the public about Cooley's anemia/thalassemia major.

This episode is dedicated to encourage the Parents, Patients & Loved Ones that are learning about, managing & perservering everyday with Cooley's Anemia, the supporters of Thalassemia, Friends, Researchers & Physicians..

In Addition, this Show is a Dedication to the late Patient Ralph A. Cazzetta. He was a Cooley's
Patient, a Nurse, Friend & Great Support Peer to Many in their Life Journey thru thriving as a Thal Patient!!

History was made in 2022 at the annual board meeting of the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation (CAF) when Ralph Colasanti was elected the first person with thalassemia to serve as National President of the Foundation’s board of directors. The Foundation, which was started in 1954, is the primary voice for those with thalassemia, a group of genetic disorders, one of which is also called Cooley’s anemia. People with severe forms of the disease require lifelong blood transfusions as often as every 2 weeks and often beginning in infancy.

“We are very pleased to have reached this historic moment and know that Ralph’s talents, skills, knowledge, and expertise will serve him well in this position,” says Peter Chieco, immediate Past National President of CAF. “Of equal importance, being a patient himself will provide a fresh perspective. No matter how deep the connection that I and our previous Presidents have with the thalassemia community, it is not quite the same experience as actually being a person who was born with and has lived with thalassemia for their entire lives.”

“The fact that I am able to serve in this capacity speaks to the tremendous efforts of The Cooley’s Anemia Foundation throughout the years,” says Ralph Colasanti. “Those that served
before me helped propel many advances in the field of thalassemia over the last 20-30 years. Their commitment, with support from our donors, brought forth dedicated clinicians and researchers who are experts in thalassemia, not only advancing our quantity of life but the most important quality of life. These medical advances and the need for a safe blood supply are tirelessly promoted and supported by CAF.

“When I was diagnosed, the outlook was grim, a life expectancy into my late teens, early twenties, with many warning me that living a normal life – having a family, working, living very far into my adult years – was not likely, but faith brought me all that and more. And while there are still many mountains a person with thalassemia has to climb, we now are in a position where a well-managed patient can enjoy many of the same things as a person not living with thalassemia. It’s a challenge, but I and others like me have learned to never give up. And definitely don’t stop believing!”

Ralph is a financial coach and IT consultant at Holy Angels School. He and his wife are the parents of a son and a daughter and recently welcomed their first grandchild.

Episode 2463: The Legendary Little Anthony Talks Projects & Celebrating Music Icons & Civil Rights Leaders, Success Today!!

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 05:33:03 +0000

Grammy® Nom, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & New Music, TV Appearances..........

Little Anthony Talks to Us about Life Success Lessons from his Elders & Touring with Ruth Brown, Sarah Vaughn, Sam Cooke, Dr. Martin Luther King & MORE. His Awesome LITTLE ANTHONY & THE MUSIC — AN ANTHOLOGY includes New Music & Classic Tunes. He Tours in concert in 2023

My Grand Folks & Family always had the Rock n Roll/Soul Classics playing when I went to Reunions & around the House during my Childhood. I consider this a GIFT!! I ALSO get the gift of Interviewing one of my Favorites: Little Anthony!!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee “Little Anthony” Gourdine is without question one of the most celebrated vocalists in the annals of popular music. His tender yet explosive delivery of a musical phrase leaves audiences spellbound with an impression so indelible that casual listeners never forget the ‘voice’ or the tunes he immortalized. These songs consistently emanate from airwaves and are often lauded in music journals worldwide. Songs such as “Goin’ Out Of My Head,” “I’m On The Outside Looking In,” “Hurt So Bad,” and “Take Me Back,” are simply four of a compendium of platinum hits performed by the extraordinarily gifted performer on national television and heard on classic and Top-40 radio spanning numerous decades. His latest blockbuster release is no will-o'-the-wisp, stab in the dark recording; it is a well-thought-out and substantive diary of songs, including many covers bearing his unmistakable vocal imprint. Producer Michael Miller spared no effort in tirelessly orchestrating a project that promises an enduring shelf-life titled LITTLE ANTHONY & THE MUSIC — AN ANTHOLOGY. Songs include the classics “A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening, ”Love is a Many Splendored Thing,” “What A Difference A Day Makes,” and “Who’s Sorry Now.” Forty memorable selections should keep you and your significant other reminiscing for some time to come. Despite many of the songs being standards, you’ll notice his articulate style blessing each track. Consider the infusive single and premier release "New York State of Mind." While some scratch their heads in wonderment upon hearing this cover for the first time, thinking: "That voice is familiar." And after a slight pause, like a ton of bricks it hits them: "That's Little Anthony!" For sure. And then they go on praising his vocal acumen, deservedly so. His R&B-laced rendering of "New York State of Mind" is a divergence from the perennial recording and sports an infectious 42nd Street vibe. It's performed so well that composer Billy Joel is likely to tip his hat. A popular legend recently said: "The Man's still got it!" “Little Anthony” Gourdine has brightened many a day for aficionados of ‘God’s musical gift to mankind’ everywhere with indescribably beautiful music that fills our hearts with Joy! .............. https://www.harmonystreet.biz/

In 1988, Braddy was hired as CEO of the Center for Independent Living of Central Pennsylvania, where he served for over 30 years. As CEO, Braddy created an independent living center that became a strong and growing voice for people with disabilities, and started the Living Well with a Disability Initiative. H e currently serves as Executive Director of the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL). He has taught at Temple University and Millersville University as an Adjunct Professor. Two different Governors have appointed Braddy as a Commissioner for the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and to serve on the Pennsylvania Statewide Independent Living Council. In 2021, Governor Wolf appointed him to serve on the State Board of Vocational Rehabilitation. In 2022, Braddy was selected by Senator Robert Casey, Jr., as one of four Black leaders in Pennsylvania who has demonstrated power and persistency in overcoming challenges and creating meaningful change in the State, and his contribution was acknowledged on the Senate Floor at a Congressional Hearing. He graduated from Temple University with his MSW in 1988 after receiving his BSW from Edinboro University.

Episode 2453: A Look at "Good Trouble" ~ a Young Foot Solider of Dr. Martin Luther King, his First Hand Experience Then & it's Relevance in 2024!!

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 22:47:03 +0000

Time Magazine, CNN, Media Images & Reporting Reflect the Colors of Change.

This Week I Take Time to Reflect & Just Breathe. Also Reflect of Things Happening in Our World. In Remembrance of Jimmie Lee Jackson & The Late Honorable John Lewis (D,GA).

In 2024, We are STILL Fighting the Good Fight for Voter's Rights for ALL.

I have been Blessed to Meet, Learn, Train & Work along side of Several Civil Rights Icons. On of them was the Late The Honorable John Lewis (D,GA) who Fought & Marched in 2020 to the Very End!!

I have attended events Remembering the History, People & Sacrifice.

The Fight for Justice Continues Today in 2020 as People Take to the Streets to Voice their Opinions to Help Bring About Change.

My Guest this Week was asked to join the Selma March in Alabama in 1965 by Dr. Martin Luther King. His name: Joseph Cooney Esq., then a newly ordained Priest. He also worked with SCLC in the Voters Registration Summers of 1966-67.

In 1965,State Troopers Clashed with Citizens marching to Montgomery, Alabama to petition the state for African-American's Right to Vote. Many lives would change in this fight. Some lives both Black & White lost. The March from Selma to Montgomery was inspired by the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson was a civil rights activist in Marion, Alabama, and a deacon in the Baptist church. On February 18, 1965, while participating in a peaceful voting rights march in his city, he was beaten by troopers and shot by Alabama State Trooper John Bonard Fowler Jackson was unarmed and died eight days later in the hospital.

His death was part of the inspiration for the Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965, a major events in the American Civil Rights Movement that helped gain Congressional passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This opened the door to millions of African Americans being able to vote again in Alabama and across the South, regaining participation as citizens in the political system for the first time since the turn of the 20th century, when they were disenfranchised by state constitutions and discriminatory practices.

These Marches were ignited by the Death of SCLC local Jimmie Lee Jackson

What did Jimmie Lee Jackson accomplish?

Jimmie Lee Jackson, was a Vietnam veteran, Baptist deacon, activist and martyr of the Civil Rights Movement. Jackson, active in the fight for equal rights, had tried multiple times to register to vote in Alabama and was denied each time.

When Jimmie Lee Jackson saw his frail 80-year-old grandfather rudely turned away from the registrar’s office in 1962 after attempting to register to vote in Marion, Ala. He knew he had to join the civil rights movement.

On Feb. 18, 1965, he was among more than 200 people participating in a night march in Marion. Before they had walked a block, they were confronted by state troopers and the police chief, who ordered them to disperse.

Jackson and his mother huddled for safety in a café. When Jackson’s grandfather entered the café bloodied and beaten, the young man tried to take him to a hospital. But they were quickly shoved back by a crowd of club-swinging troopers and terrified marchers.

Another trooper pulled his pistol and shot Jackson in the stomach. It was two hours before Jackson arrived at the hospital in Selma. He died eight days later.

At one of two services for Jackson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told a crowd of 2,000: “Jimmie Lee Jackson’s death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly to make the American dream a reality. His death must prove that unmerited suffering does not go unredeemed.”

Episode 2451: Gianni Russo ~ Actor of Oscar Winning Movie "The Godfather I and II & Seabiscuit on Legacy Success!!

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 24 Feb 2024 04:55:05 +0000

The Godfather I & II , Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday Rush Hour 2

Gianni's impactful book called : Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & The Mob! I read it cover to cover because it was intense & fascinating.

Actor Gianni Russo has led an intriguing life. The Movie The Godfather was young Gianni's debut as an actor.

The Godfather is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, as well as a landmark of the gangster genre. It was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1990, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and is ranked the second-greatest film in American cinema (behind Citizen Kane) by the American Film Institute.

Gianni Russo was a Mid- Twenties handsome mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny—played by James Caan—up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act—he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing.

Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films.

Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex—and fun.

Gianni Russo Wines launched nationally in 2009. And he has an expanded product line coming out this year.

Born in Manhattan and raised in Little Italy and Staten Island, Russo overcame polio as a child to start his first “business” at the tender age of twelve, selling pens and erasers on the street corners. At eighteen Russo made his first trip to Miami, where he began to dabble in show-business, working in nightclubs and hotspots before deciding to pursue acting and move to Hollywood.

His Book: Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & the Mob is an eye-opening read.

Episode 2449: Jerry Blavat ~ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Tribute to Broadcast Icon "The Geator" , You Only Rock Once!!

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 22:18:33 +0000

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

A Tribute to My Guest This Week ~ Broadcast Radio Icon Jerry Blavat.

He began his career as a 13 year old on the TV show Bandstand.Jerry is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame & After over 50 years in broadcasting, STILL Rock Out Weekly on WVLT, online & at LIVE shows! In 1960, he started his own radio talk show on WCAM (AM), in Camden, New Jersey. (He won the show in a crap game). On a snowy night in mid January, pulling out a stack of records, he began entertaining listeners throughout the night, and the legend of "The Geator" was born. In the mid-sixties, reports had his audience at a half million teenagers per month. Much of Jerry's broadcasts in the early days were done on reel to reel tape. Recording the program in his garage studio, the tapes played while Blavat made personal appearances. In the mid-sixties, Jerry's broadcasts were also added for a time to the program schedule of WHAT. On that station, Blavat stated that he only made $18 a week ($1.50 per hour). Most of his audience didn't buy it, but it was true. The real money was at the hops, not on the air. However, Blavat knew he needed the airwaves to promote the appearances. In 1965, he produced and hosted his own TV show "The Discophonic Scene" on CBS' Philadelphia outlet WCAU-TV. From 1967-70, the show aired on WFIL-TV, Channel Six and was syndicated through Triangle Publications coast-to-coast in 40 markets. When the British Invasion came along, Jerry never became part of it. He didn't like format radio, never participated in it and has always been his own man. In 1966, Jerry said: "It had been hell during the Beatles reign, when there had been much pressure to get on the bandwagon. But I sensed that it just didn't have enough soul for my kids... So I finally gave in and played a few, and I got bombarded by phone calls saying 'Geator, what you doing, man?'"

In April of 1972 he became one of the first on-air personalities on WCAU-FM, an oldies station. In 1987, Blavat moved to "Philly Gold Radio," WPGR. It became "Geator Gold Radio" in April of 1992 when Blavat purchased the station. Until this day, Jerry is seen on many local and national TV shows. He has been with PBS on their Doo Wop specials working with the show's producer, T. J. Lubinsky. When the shows aired locally over WHYY-TV, Jerry Blavat was the area's host. Throughout his career, Jerry has appeared on "The Tonight Show," "The Mike Douglas Show," "The Joey Bishop Show," "The Mod Squad," and "The Monkees." Jerry Blavat has appeared in feature films including "Desperately Seeking Susan," "Baby, It's You," and "Cookie."

After WPGR, the Geator then built studios in Center City. He currently broadcasts his Cruisin' 92.1, WVLT. In 1998, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia's "Hall of Fame". He still owns his own nightclub called Memories in Margate, NJ He works at various clubs most nights & has a show yearly at the Kimmel Center. While many refer to James Brown as "the hardest working man in show business," the title should belong to Jerry Blavat, who said many years ago: "I may not be the best jock in the world, but I've got my own built-in excitement meter.

Episode 2448: John Madara ~ GRAMMY® Hall of Fame Honoree, Producer, Composer ~"Rock n Roll is Here to Stay!"

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 06:00:11 +0000

GRAMMY® Hall of Fame Honoree Iconic Hit Writer: "At The Hop", "Rockn Roll is Here to Stay", "You Don't Own Me" "1-2-3" & More

John Madara was born & grew up in Philadelphia, PA at a time when the city was teeming with groups and artists such as The Spaniels, the Clovers, Harvey and the Moonglows, Billy Ward and the Dominos and the great Jackie Wilson. Rock and Roll was starting to take root and John Madara was destined to make rock and roll history.

In 1957, John launched his solo career, with his first record, "Be My Girl," reaching the national charts. That same year, John co-wrote with Dave White a song called “Do The Bop." On the advice of Dick Clark, whose local show, American Bandstand, had just gone national, the title and lyrics were changed to “At The Hop." Danny and the Juniors, recorded it, and by Christmas of 1957, it had reached the top of the pop and R&B charts worldwide. “At The Hop” remained #1 for an astounding 7 weeks, the first record ever to reach that success, and it has remained a rock and roll classic to this day. Following “At The Hop," John produced and co-wrote with Dave such mega-hits as “The Fly” (Chubby Checker)“You Don’t Own Me” (Lesley Gore) among other smash hits. He also produced for Danny and The Juniors, “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay."

He also discovered one of the most prolific duos of all time, Daryl Hall and John Oates. With them he produced two albums. John moved to L.A. in the ‘70s, where he found success writing and producing for movies and television. He produced the soundtrack for the James Caan/Marsha Mason movie, “Cinderella Liberty," and also produced the title song for the Cliff Robertson movie “Ace Eli and Roger of the Sky.” In the mid ‘70s, he was music supervisor for the hugely successful “Sid and Marty Kroft Comedy Hour." This was in conjunction with an ABC Comedy Hour and network special which launched the new ABC season

Madara/White songs have reached millions of people through radio, films and television. Worldwide sales of their songs and productions have reached over 2 hundred million records. Their songs have appeared on some of the biggest grossing soundtrack albums of all time, including “American Graffiti” and “Woodstock” (At The Hop), “Grease” (Rock and Roll is Here to Stay), “Hairspray” (The Fly and You Don’t Own Me), “Mr. Holland’s Opus” (1-2-3), and “Dirty Dancing” and “The First Wives Club” (You Don’t Own Me). It was the 1996 hit film, “The First Wives Club," that paid the contemporary power of their talent the ultimate compliment by not only featuring “You Don’t Own Me” but by making it the theme of the movie. John has continued to write and produce music, working with young, up-and-coming artists.

At The Hop” was voted by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the top 100 songs of the century. The soundtrack album, “Grease," was voted one of the top albums of the century. “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay” is featured on that album. John recently finished producing an album with Tony Danza, following a hugely successful radio hit single that he also produced, “The House I Live In.” He is also working on a feature film, “At The Hop.”

In 2016, his song with the late singer ,songwriter Dave White "You Don't Own Me" was made a #1 Hit all over again 19 year old Australian singer " Grace" and features G-EAZY. It was Produced by Quincy Jones.

Episode 2422: Melba Moore ~ TONY AWARD® Winning Actress, Presidential & Lifetime Achievement Honoree,, Hollywood Walk of Fame 2023, 4x Grammy® Nominee

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 22 Oct 2023 03:05:08 +0000

TONY AWARD®, United States Congressional Record & National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress, Hollywood Walk of Fame Inductee 2023!!

The Music Historian in ME Loves to Talk to the Legends.

Melba's NEW Music Compilation called "Imagine' Already Topping the American & British Soul charts.

Melba Moore has done it all, twice. At the tender age of 10, Melba, she was introduced to music and that “I didn’t have any music in my life before my mother married my stepfather. He introduced music into our home and into my life.” From that moment forward, Melba began to develop her 5-octave, note-holding soprano that would soon bring audiences to their feet.

Theater:

Won a Tony Award for best featured actress in a musical for her role in the musical "Purlie,"
Replaced Diane Keaton in the Broadway musical "Hair"
Was first African American woman to play the female lead in the musical "Les Misérables" on Broadway.

The journey of Melba’s career took her to the lead of “PURLIE,” a musical adaptation of a play written by acting husband and wife pioneers Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. That role and its musical soundtrack would earn Moore a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist in 1971 and a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress.

Television

Starred in her own sitcom, "Melba."

Melba Moore became so well known that network television offered her a summer variety series. Starring Melba and actor/singer Clifton Davis, who was starring on Broadway in another show, the duo, who were dating, were given the choice to bring their mass appeal into Middle America.

Music

Celebrated top hits during the70s, 80s and 90s-- "Falling," "You Stepped Into My Life," "Love’s Comin’ At Ya," and "A Little Bit More" — and others
Performed a special rendition of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing'

"Read My Lips"—which later won Moore a third Grammy nomination (for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance), making her just the third black artist after Donna Summer and Michael Jackson to be nominated in the rock category. Hits like the #1 "A Little Bit More" with Freddie Jackson and "Falling," a hypnotic ballad that features one of the longest held notes in recorded history.

Moore would also Produce & Record “Lift Every Voice And Sing” (the Negro National Anthem) at the behest of Dr. Dorothy Height, the president of the National Council of Negro Women, who wanted Moore to use her formidable talent to ensure that the song would reach new generations. Her version was entered into the United States Congressional Record as the official Negro National Anthem in 1990, was just named an ‘American Aural Treasure,’ by the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.

My Music Flashback Series continues this week featuring the genre of R& B. Soul & Funk.It can be a great tribute to a music artist when their style can influence current pop culture for century's & decades.

The genre of Soul, R & B & Funk is taken for granted today & the influence is heard & seen in grooves, style & fashions most of todays' pop artists. However, the original recording artists truly paid dues to get in the position to not only become recording artists, but to write & produce their work. At that time, some of the artists who created a new innovative style had the challenge of the music executives not understanding the genre, and some even refusing to promote the compositions. Today we call this music - classics & the artists trailblazers. My guest this week in one of them.

Bobby Eli is a Grammy Award Winning, internationally acclaimed Grammy Winning Record Producer, Engineer, Songwriter, Arranger and Multi-Instrumentalist.

Bobby was a founding member of the famed Philadelphia studio group, MFSB. If the music is Philadelphia International, Gamble & Huff / TSOP. Bobby's music is more than likely on it.

King, Dixie Hummingbirds, Billy Paul, The Spinners, Johnny Mathis, Deniece Williams, Wilson Pickett, Dusty Springfield, Nancy Wilson, and many other wonderful artists too numerous to mention.

As a songwriter and producer Eli was responsible for such monster hits as the Grammy winning number one song, “Love Won’t Let Me Wait”, as recorded by Luther Vandross, “Sideshow” and “Three Ring Circus” by Blue Magic, “Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely” by the Main Ingredient, the first two albums by: “Atlantic Starr”, self titled and “Straight to the Point”, the Grammy nominated album: “Love Niecy Style” by Deniece Williams, Rose Royce’s number one U.K. hit single “Magic Touch” and their album” Music Magic”. Bobby was responsible for the Jackie Moore number one dance classic,” This Time Baby”, the number one international hit singles “Zoom” by Fat Larry’s Band and “Love Town” by Booker Newberry III.

Ferguson, who owns the company Diet Free Life, has been helping people achieve weight loss through healthful living since 1998.

A former U.S. Marine, he works with both the general population and celebrities. He also is a physical conditioning and nutrition specialist for professional boxers on Showtime®, HBO®, ESPN® and "The Contender." One of Ferguson's goals is to bridge the gap within the African American community between knowing what is healthful and practicing what it knows. He conducts free live cooking demonstrations and fitness programs, and delivers motivational speeches in urban areas across the country. Ferguson teaches people how to make their favorite recipes more healthful, and he shows his clients how to incorporate good health into their existing lifestyles with diet and fitness plans customized to meet each person's needs. "There is a misconception that healthful living is boring, bland and difficult to maintain. But it really can be enjoyable, fun and easy," he said. "Many people who want to be healthy feel like they have to walk away from their cultural identities," he added. "They have an all-or-nothing mindset: either eat bland and boring -- steamed broccoli and salmon -- or go back to eating fried chicken every day." Friends and family often are the biggest stumbling blocks to living a healthful lifestyle.

"There's an internal battle between being healthy and being accepted," Ferguson said.

"People are always thinking about what they'll lose by upgrading their lifestyle with nutrition and fitness. When people start to eat healthfully, and all their friends and family continue to eat unhealthfully, they feel like they stand out." But Ferguson believes that when healthful efforts are viewed as a lifestyle change rather than as a diet, individuals will become self-reliant and empowered -- and therefore experience long-term success. They also will set positive examples for those closest to them. "I want to open eyes and minds to show that life can be lived and experienced differently without the word DIET," Ferguson said ~ dietfreelife.com

Episode 2397: Don Siegelman ~ Frm Governor & Author on "Stealing Our Democracy" & Beyond!!

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 06:04:14 +0000

Former Governor Don Siegelman is a former American politician, lawyer and convicted felon who held several elected offices in the state of Alabama. His conviction was questioned by over 100 former attorney generals & officials & they petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to look into his case. National & International media have also covered his case: NY Times, CNN, FOX, TIME just to name a few.

His NEW Book: "Stealing Our Democracy: How a Political Assassination of a Governor Threatens Our Nation" will be in Bookstores on June 16th 2020.

Siegelman was convicted of corruption in that a friend donated money to a charity on which Seigelman had once served on the board. Siegelman did not profit from the monies nor were any part of the funds transferred to him for his use. He served one term as the 51st Governor of Alabama from 1999 to 2003. As of 2020, Siegelman is the last member of the Democratic Party, as well as the only Roman Catholic, to serve as Governor of Alabama.

He is the only person in the history of Alabama to be elected to serve in all four of the top statewide elected offices: Secretary of State, Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor and Governor. He served in Alabama politics for 26 years. In a searing political memoir, former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman explodes the myth of an impartial U.S. justice system. He should know. Arguably the most successful and promising politician in modern Alabama history, his three-decade career in public service ran afoul of rival opponents who used the federal judicial system to take him out of contention in Alabama and nationally. Siegelman ultimately was sentenced to 88 months in federal prison and served five years, with long stretches in solitary confinement during which he was a literal political prisoner, cut off from interviews and outside contact.

Stealing Our Democracy reveals how Siegelman’s enemies ― including politicized prosecutors and a corrupt judge ― stripped him of his freedom, his career, and his law license, and deprived him of his family and friends. His is an intensely personal account of how our system can fail and be abused for political greed.

Siegelman draws on his experience as a public servant and an inmate to show why the nation’s prisons must be reformed along with our system of indictment, prosecution, and sentencing. Finally, Stealing Our Democracy offers a blueprint for voters in 2020 of what must be done to preserve democracy.

Episode 2391: Ralph Rolle ~ of Chic with Nile Rodgers, Celebrity Percussionist, CEO of Soul Snacks Cookie Co. in Hilton Resorts, Kroger Walmart. Worldwide!!

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 15:48:56 +0000

Chic with Nile Rodgers, People, CNN, ABC, BET, FOX

Music & Munchies is My Show Theme This Week: Soul Snacks Cookie Company!

Music for this Segment: CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers - Let's Dance
(Live At The House Sídney 2013)

Everyone wants to be a leader in a world where people don’t often possess the experience or expertise to be in the lead. That is gained from mastering the skills and learning to follow. Ralph Rolle is a prime example of learning to follow becoming born to lead.

Ralph followed his older brother in learning the drums, but that he led him to becoming a premier musician, who has created music with everyone from super producer Nile Rodgers and his iconic disco/R&B group Chic, pop legends Sting and Bono, the 1st woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Aretha Franklin, hip-hop giants Biggie Smalls and Queen Latifah, jazz superstar Chris Botti, the queen of Neo-Soul Erykah Badu, Vanessa Williams, soul crooner D’Angelo, songstylist India Arie, Lady Gaga, Dolly Pardon, Bono, Roger Daltry, John Legend, Joss Stone, Elvis Costello and playing in the resident band for N.B.C. ‘It’s Showtime at The Apollo’ for over 15 seasons. Ralph has also served as the musical director for syndicated “The Caroline Rhea Show” and he served in the same role for Japanese R&B/soul superstar Toshi Kubota. Ralph stepped out into the world of music because he was following his brother, who was following the lead of his mother, who brought a set of drums into the house to keep her rambunctious sons out of the streets and out of trouble. Ralph’s brother Howard told him that he couldn’t disturb the set-up of the drums, even though Ralph was left-handed and his brother was not. But they both listened to every kind of music, from gospel and jazz, and for Ralph, Motown’s heyday of music, with the Supremes and the Miracles and the brilliance of the Temptations blew his mind and lead him on a path that took him around the world, playing on stages and in clubs that were the site of some of the greatest moments in music history. He followed him passion around the world and then followed his heart when a new dream, a new vision, rose up in him and began to change his course in life.

Ralph took the time, any time he had the time, to stop and cook and enjoy life. It helped him to come down from the tension and time on the road that was always in motion. Cooking, another gift he received from his mother, gave him the peace of mind he needed to slow down and breathe. And in learning his way around the kitchen, he started to bake. He followed his grandmother in and around the kitchen while she cooked but being a smart young boy, Ralph paid attention. He watched the details of making his favorites, including rushing to lick the bowl after she mixed her famous cake and over time, he mastered baking. It soon became his happy place, but also his calling card. If he liked a girl, he didn’t sing her a song or show off his drumming skills. He would bake for her. That stayed with him and when he was hanging out with his musician friends, he would have his signature cookies. At first they laughed, but quickly the request became “please bring those cookies with you!”

Over time, his cookies found their way into the hands of clients such as Westside Market, Franks Market, and many more. Good Morning America host chose Soul Snacks for her holiday gifting in 2011. In 2015, Bette Midler and Ralph met when Nile Rodgers and Chic were the guest artists and Ms. Midler’s annual Hulaween Charity event. Ralph had his “cookie calling card” with him. Ms. Midler loved Soul Snacks so much that she placed orders for her family and friends. Soon, he was selling his cookies at Melba’s, a legendary soul food restaurant in Harlem. That arrangement became a business that quickly took off because one night someone from BET’s YSB Magazine did a story of this musician who worked at the Apollo Theater and was also a baker. The only number he could post was his sister’s pager number. She didn’t think he would get too many calls to handle. They were both wrong. The orders poured in and soon, he was featured in CNN, BET, ABC and FOX networks, in New York Times newspaper and in The Source and Vibe magazines. From there, Ralph gave birth to “SOUL SNACKS.”

SOUL SNACKS offers a variety of delicious cookies such as Georgia Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Peanut Butter, Down Home Double Chocolate Chip, Ebony and Ivory Almond Cookie, Grampy’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie, French Cocoa Chocolate Chip, Miami Raisin Walnut, Chunked Up Chocolate Walnut, Cranberry Oatmeal Raisin, Joyful Gingerbread and the most recently added, but now #1 seller, Sweet Potato Cookies. “Inside of every cookie is years of heart, soul and lots of pride that has been the main ingredient of SOUL SNACKS Cookies for over a decade.” The company has recently upgraded into a new and larger facility and is now being sold in nearly 800 Walmart stores. Soul Snacks have also satisfied customers in Japan, Europe, Africa, The West Indies, Canada, and throughout The United States.

“There is no expiration date on passion and there is no Plan B!” Ralph offers, with a smile on his face, realizing that it takes a lot to maintain the business while still loving music and working on new and innovative ideas, like a history project that is becoming his newest passion. “Passion is not predicated on how much money you make. Passion is about whether you finish the thought. The completion of the task and making it happen is the truth of passion. Making it happen. You’ve got to learn from where you failed and get up and keep going from here.”

Now, he speaks to entrepreneurs and creatives in his Master Class series and empowers them to dream and keep dreaming, even when they are already working on their gifts. “When people get in their own way, when they build their own wall, I am trying to get people to see the value in (YOU). I am always talking to people about getting out of the way. That is when they start to see the world and the possibilities of everything. I’ve got 24 hours in a day and this is all Plan A!” The music journey is Ralph Rolle’s peace place, a creative thing that he gets to do from the seat of the drummer, on his own. As the CEO of SOUL SNACKS, Ralph gets to bring others forward, including his wife Hiromi and his community. “SOUL SNACKS is about my wife and my manager and my P.A. who believe in the work and we work collectively on the dream! SOUL SNACKS was never done alone and cannot be.”

R.I.P. Ritchie Ingui, original vocal half of the Soul Survivors. He transitioned in early 2017.
Original group member Kenny Jeremiah Transitioned in December of 2020.

Memorable Intro, AWESOME Classic Hit, a Kenny Gamble &Leon Huff hit that Helped launch the Legendary Philadelphia International Record Label.

I am a Music Lover of All Styles, Generations. This Week I Flashback.......

The Soul Survivors, originally from New York City, grew up listening to the R & B groups of the 1950’s. The sounds of groups like the Moonglows, Heartbeats, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers had a great influence on brothers Charlie and Rich Ingui. With various street corner groups, they developed their vocal skills. While in high school, Charlie joined the vocal group from Queens, N.Y. the Dedications. When, a year later the group’s lead singer decided to leave, brother Rich was recruited. While performing at clubs in the New York area, they found themselves at the mercy of various house bands and decided to find a group of musicians who would become permanent members of the group therefore creating a self contained unit. The group would be renamed THE SOUL SURVIVORS.

Shortly thereafter, the group began to build a strong following, playing venues in Atlantic City and Philadelphia. Enjoying great success in Philadelphia, they attracted the attention of record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Into the recording studio they went, emerging with " Expressway To Your Heart " a song that would climb to #3 on Billboard's R&B chart and #4 on it's Top 100 list. The success of " Expressway " became Gamble and Huff's first "crossover" hit when it began to be played on both black and white radio stations. It's success enabled Gamble and Huff to reach the large audiences they sought in order to bring their " Sound Of Philadelphia " to the mass Market. In polls taken by both the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia’s City Paper, " Expressway" was voted the number one record ever to come out of Philadelphia. "Expressway " was followed by two other chart records, "Explosion In My Soul" and " Mission Impossible". Their first album, released in 1968, was " When The Whistle Blows ". A second LP, on Atco Records, called "Take Another Look" appeared in 1969.

During this time, the group toured extensively throughout the U.S. appearing with many different types of artists...everyone from Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles to Janis Joplin, the Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Sly and the Family Stone and countless others. In 1974, the Soul Survivors reunited with Gamble and Huff to record their self titled album "The Soul Survivors" on TSOP Records. It was written and performed in a style that would define the unique sound of The Soul Survivors.The album produced "City Of Brotherly Love" which would show up on Billboard’s R&B Top 100 and become the group’s fourth charted outing.

Through the years, the Soul Survivors have continued to provide audiences with high energy performances and music that is timeless and authentic ,appearing with 60's contemporaries Felix Cavaliere's Rascals. the Turtles,the Association, as well as fellow TSOP artists Harold Melvin's Bluenotes,Billy Paul, the Intruders, Russell Thompkins' Stylistics and others.

The group's CD is called " Heart Full of Soul ", produced by Grammy nominated producers Jimmy Bralower and Johnny Gale.

The Soul Survivors recorded new music and covers several years ago, most recently working with David Uosikkinen of The Hooters and his project "In the Pocket" which is paying tribute to the vast catalog of music created in Philadelphia.

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 03 May 2023 03:00:10 +0000

BluBlocker™ & Direct Marketing Icon, CEO of JS&A Group, Inc.,

Tribute Show. Joe Sugarman (1938-2022) appeared twice on my show, What a wonderful man! This is his first appearance on the show.

Does the name BluBlocker™ ring a bell?? Joe introduced dozens of new innovations and concepts in electronic products during the '70s, including the pocket calculator, the digital watch, cordless telephone, computers and a variety of others.

“My purpose in life to leave a legacy of helping people live long and healthier lives and I sincerely believe we have the technology and the products to do that now,” says Sugarman.

Joseph Sugarman is Chairman of JS&A Group, Inc., BluBlocker Corporation, DelStar Publishing and President of a bio-tech company, Stem Cell Products, LLC—all based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

He was born and raised in the Chicago area and attended the electrical engineering college of the University of Miami for three and a half years before being drafted into the U.S. Army in 1962.

Joe then spent over three years in Germany where he served with the Army Intelligence Service and later with the CIA. Returning home, he formed a company to market Austrian ski lifts in the United States and then later formed his own advertising agency to service ski resort accounts.

In 1971, after six years of running his own ad agency, he saw micro-electronics as an exciting opportunity and formed a company to market the world's first pocket calculator through direct marketing—all from the basement of his home in Northbrook, IL.

In 1973, Sugarman's company was the first in the United States to use the 800 toll-free service to take credit card orders over the telephone-- something that direct marketers had never done before. His line of BluBlocker sunglasses, which he sold in direct mailings, mail order ads, catalogs and on TV through infomercials, and the QVC, the Home Shopping Channel.

Grammy Award, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ~

Hits "That Lady" & Chris's Solo Ballad "Still In Love" Start of Our Weekend!!

If you are familiar with THE ISLEY BROTHERS, then you know Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, CHRIS JASPER, an integral member of THE ISLEY BROTHERS during the 1970s and 1980s—their gold and platinum years—from the 3+3 (1973) to Between the Sheets (1983) albums. These were the years when THE ISLEY BROTHERS were a self-produced, self-contained group. If you are familiar with THE ISLEY BROTHERS, then you have heard the music of CHRIS JASPER, who was primarily responsible for writing and producing all of THE ISLEY BROTHERS music during this time, including such beautiful love songs as “For The Love of You” and “Between the Sheets” and uptempo funk such as “Fight the Power.” His arrangements and instrumentation as a classically-trained musician, and his expertise on the keyboards and synthesizers, are the foundation of the legendary “Isley Brothers Sound.”

Re-recorded elements of "That Lady" are incorporated in "i", the lead single of Kendrick Lamar's 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly. The song won the awards for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song at the 2015 Grammy Awards.

When the six members of THE ISLEY BROTHERS disbanded (1984), Marvin and Ernie Isley joined CHRIS JASPER and formed ISLEY-JASPER-ISLEY. Without this crucial musical component, THE ISLEY BROTHERS were no longer a self-produced, self-contained group. CHRIS JASPER brought his “unique sound” and musical talents to ISLEY-JASPER-ISLEY, and topped the charts singing lead vocals on “Caravan of Love” (1985), a song that was covered by English recording group, the Housemartins, an international #1 pop hit. “Caravan” was also used in commercials as part of a Dodge Caravan advertising campaign. He was also awarded a CEBA Award For Excellence for a Miller Brewing Company commercial. The music for that commercial formed the basis for “Brother to Brother” from the “Different Drummer” album, which supported the anti-apartheid struggle going on in South Africa at that time. His music has also been used in radio and television commercials, most recently “Who’s That Lady” (Swiffer) and “Between The Sheets” (L’Oreal). When ISLEY-JASPER-ISLEY disbanded (1987), CHRIS JASPER brought his “unique sound” to his own solo projects, topping the charts with “SuperBad,” a song promoting the value of education. CHRIS JASPER has continued to write songs and produce his own R&B/Gospel music, as well as other artists, for his independent record label, Gold City Records (www.goldcitymusic.com).

CHRIS JASPER’s music has been covered and sampled by hundreds of new and established recording artists, including Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Fantasia, Will Smith, Alliyah, Queen Latifah, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Natalie Cole, and the list goes on and on. His music has also been used in television and radio commercials. In 1992, CHRIS JASPER, along with the other members of THE ISLEY BROTHERS, was inducted into the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME.

Chris Jasper was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on December 30, 1951, the youngest of seven siblings. While growing up in Cincinnati, Chris studied classical piano starting at the age of 7 years old. After graduating from high school in Cincinnati, he moved to New York to study music composition at the Juilliard School of Music. Chris received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in music composition from C.W. Post College in New York, where he studied under noted jazz pianist and composer, Dr. Billy Taylor. He subsequently received a Juris Doctorate degree from Concord University School of Law.

THE JASPER/ISLEY CONNECTION The Jasper and Isley families lived in the same apartment complex in Cincinnati, Ohio. Chris’s older sister, Elaine, married Rudolph Isley. The three older Isley brothers, Rudolph, O’Kelly and Ronald, formed a vocal trio (“The Isley Brothers”) and relocated to Teaneck, New Jersey. While temporarily living in New Jersey as a teenager, Chris and the two younger Isley brothers, Marvin and Ernie, formed a band, “The Jazzmen Trio”, that played locally in New Jersey. Chris played keyboards, Ernie played guitar and Marvin played the bass. Along with Chris, Ernie and Marvin also attended C.W. Post College in New York. While in college, Chris, Marvin and Ernie played on the older Isley Brothers recordings, including “It’s Your Thing”.

SOLO CAREER In 1987, Isley-Jasper-Isley disbanded and Chris and Ernie embarked on solo careers. Chris formed his own record label, Gold City Records, and released two albums as a CBS-associated label. His debut single as a solo artist, “Superbad” reached #1 on the R&B charts. Eventually, Marvin and Ernie returned to record under the Isley Brothers group name, and Chris continued his solo career, releasing a total of 9 solo albums to date, including 4 urban contemporary gospel CDs.

Chris has also produced a number of artists for his Gold City label, and has worked with such notable artists as Chaka Khan, writing and producing a song for her CK album (“Make It Last”). Chris’s music has been covered and sampled by numerous new and established recording artists, including Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Fantasia, Will Smith, Alliyah, Queen Latifah, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Natalie Cole, and the list goes on and on. The most recent addition to Gold City is Chris’s son, Michael Jasper, who released his debut album “Addictive” on the Gold City label in 2010 at the age of 16. “Addictive” was written and recorded by Michael, and co-produced by Chris, who accompanies Michael on the talkbox and background vocals.

Michael's is called CD "Dreams". Chris has received numerous gold and platinum albums and music industry awards, including the BET lifetime achievement award. In 1992, Chris, along with the other members of The Isley Brothers, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In 2016, Chris was awarded the National R&B Society Lifetime Achievement Award, Songwriters Hall of Fame. Chris also received numerous ASCAP awards.. Chris lives in New York with his wife of 40 years, Margie, and his three sons, Christopher, Nicholas and Michael. - See more at: chrisjasper.com

He attributes his success in life to his many years of sobriety and the support and spiritual philosophy of his blended family. His entrepreneurial parents taught him the value of creating a business with the work you enjoy most.

Ahmed’s rural roots, mixed with inner city upbringing, has given him a unique ability to relate to people from all walks of life. The connective thread through each stage of his life remains Agriculture, Construction, Improvements and Maintenance. “The status quo is boring and complacent. I envision and enjoy making things better and I prefer to do this outdoors”, says Ahmed.

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 15 Apr 2023 03:31:23 +0000

CNN, HBO Max, Amazon Prime

She's BACK!! CNN New Year's Day featuring Legendary Music Icons like the late Burt Bachrach, Jerry Blavat, Chuck Jackson, as well as Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, & Smokey Robinson. You can see it now on HBO Max, & Amazon Prime.

Dionne was also named Smithsonian Ambassador of Music!!

Marie Dionne Warwick, an American singer, actress, and television show host who became a United Nations Global Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization and a United States Ambassador of Health.

She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with “Don’t Make Me Over.” Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” "Promises Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl’s in Love With You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls. ”Together, Warwick and her songwriting team of Burt Bacharach & Hal David, accumulated more than 30 hit singles, and close to 20 best-selling albums, during their first decade together.

Warwick received her first GRAMMY® Award in 1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second GRAMMY® in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.” She became the first African-American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance. This award was only presented to one other legend, Miss Ella Fitzgerald.

Warwick’s recordings of songs such as “A House is not a Home,” “Alfie,” ”Valley of the Dolls,” and “The April Fools,” made her a pioneer as one of the first female artists to popularize classic movie themes.

In 1976, Warwick signed with Arista Records, beginning a third decade of hit-making. Arista Records label-mate Barry Manilow produced her first Platinum-selling album, “Dionne,” which included back-to-back hits “I’ll Never Love This Way Again,” and “Déjà vu.” Both recordings earned GRAMMY® Awards, making Warwick the first female artist to win the Best Female Pop and Best Female R&B Performance Awards.

Warwick’s 1982 album, “Heartbreaker,” co-produced by Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, became an international chart-topper. In 1985, she reunited with composer Burt Bacharach and longtime friends Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder to record the landmark song “That’s What Friends Are For,” which became a number one hit record around the world and the first recording dedicated to raising awareness and major funds (over $3 Million) for the AIDS cause in support of AMFAR, which Warwick continues to support.

Warwick’s pride and joy are her two sons, singer/recording artist David Elliott and award-winning music producer Damon Elliott, and her family. ~ DionneWarwickonLine.com

Episode 2368: Robert "Kool" Bell of Kool & the Gang, GRAMMY® Honoree, ~ A Salute to Co- Founder Robert Bell

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Grammy® Honoree, Hollywood Walk of Fame

Let's Celebrate a Golden Anniversary of Kool & The Gang!

Founding Member Brother Ronald Nathan Bell (November 1, 1951 – September 9, 2020),

Robert's NEW Brand is. La Kool. lKool had always envisioned having his own brand out of Europe. For many years, he sought out Grand Cru Vineyards from owners that have been selling for generations and decided to work with Paul Berthelot, a Multi-Vintage Grand Cru Producer since 1884.

A couple years ago marked the official launch of Le Kool Champagne, and Kool also recently added a new rosé champagne to keep the summer season going through the winter.

Kool & the Gang, officially launched in 1969, after performing for five years under various band titles, has influenced the music of three generations and the band has become true recording industry legends. Thanks to iconic songs like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness and Open Sesame, they’ve earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums. From Nairobi to Newark, Kool & the Gang has performed continuously longer than any R&B group in history and their bulletproof funk and jazzy arrangements have also made them the most sampled R&B band of all time.

In 1979, Kool & the Gang unveiled a smooth new sound with Ladies Night. Produced by the legendary Pop/Jazz musician Eumir Deodato, it became their first platinum album. The #1 R&B title track reached #8 at Pop. It was followed by Too Hot (#3 R&B, #5 Pop). The 80’s would see them dominate the mainstream, starting with the double platinum-selling album Celebrate (driven by the international monster hit Celebration, which spent six weeks atop the R&B chart and became a #1 Pop single). Celebration, which played as the American hostages returned from Iran, remains de rigueur at joyous occasions worldwide. The smashes Get Down On It, Take My Heart, Let’s Go Dancing, Joanna, Tonight, Misled, the #1 R&B, #2 Pop giant Cherish and the #1 R&B anthem Fresh (these last three from the multi- platinum LP Emergency) solidified the group’s international stardom. Kool & the Gang landed global commercial endorsements, supported countless charitable causes and were the only American group to participate in Band Aid’s 1984 Do They Know It’s Christmas project for famine victims in Africa. With the explosion of hip-hop in the 90’s, Kool & the Gang’s incredible catalog of grooves made them DJ favorites. They were second only to R&B icon James Brown as sources of rap music samples.

In 2014, they were honored with a BET Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award and in October 2015, in the town they sing about in one of their earliest hits, “Hollywood Swinging,” Kool & the Gang was honored to take their place as American musical icons with a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2016,

ESPN, AP, USA Today, NFL Neurosurgeon, Ironman Triathlete

It is not everyday that I get to speak to a renowned neurosurgeon for the NFL. Yes! The National Football League. In addition, long time team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers

March 4, 2022 The NFL Physicians Society (NFLPS) awarded the Arthur C. Rettig Award for Academic Excellence to Joseph C. Maroon, MD.

He is a world-renowned neurosurgeon, health and nutrition expert and Ironman triathlete.

He is regarded as a premiere specialist in the surgical treatment of injuries and diseases of the brain and spine, particularly with microscopic and minimally invasive procedures.

Episode 2358: A Look at "Good Trouble" ~ a Foot Solider's First Hand View Then & it's Relevance in 2023!!

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 23:21:40 +0000

Time Magazine, CNN, Media Images & Reporting Reflect the Colors of Change.

This Week I Take Time to Reflect & Just Breathe. Also Reflect of Things Happening in Our World. In Remembrance of Jimmie Lee Jackson/Selma Marches. Bloody Sunday & The Late Honorable John Lewis (D,GA).

In 2023, We are STILL Fighting the Good Fight for Voter's Rights for ALL.

I have been Blessed to Meet, Learn, Train & Work along side of Several Civil Rights Icons. On of them was the Late The Honorable John Lewis (D,GA) who Fought & Marched in 2020 to the Very End!!

I have attended events Remembering the History, People & Sacrifice.

The Fight for Justice Continues Today in 2023 as People Take to the Streets to Voice their Opinions to Help Bring About Change.

My Guest this Week was asked to join the Selma March in Alabama in 1965 by Dr. Martin Luther King. His name: Joseph Cooney, then a newly ordained Priest. He also worked with SCLC in the Voters Registration Summers of 1966-67.

In 1965 ,State Troopers Clashed with Citizens marching to Montgomery, Alabama to petition the state for African-American's Right to Vote. Many lives would change in this fight. Some lives both Black & White lost. The March from Selma to Montgomery was inspired by the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson was a civil rights activist in Marion, Alabama, and a deacon in the Baptist church. On February 18, 1965, while participating in a peaceful voting rights march in his city, he was beaten by troopers and shot by Alabama State Trooper John Bonard Fowler Jackson was unarmed and died eight days later in the hospital.

His death was part of the inspiration for the Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965, a major events in the American Civil Rights Movement that helped gain Congressional passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This opened the door to millions of African Americans being able to vote again in Alabama and across the South, regaining participation as citizens in the political system for the first time since the turn of the 20th century, when they were disenfranchised by state constitutions and discriminatory practices.

......
Nat'l Media , Historic Event, Dr. Martin Luther Kings Foot Soldiers were many times KIDS

I am BOTH a Northerner & present Washingtonian who was born after the Historic Marches for My Civil Rights to Vote, Education, Public Accommodations,, Transportation & Employment. I have only READ about the Civil Rights Movement & marches. I truly appreciate those that sacrificed their own lives for my Rights to a Better Life.

My Guest is the Reverend Clarence Varner who was in Grade School when he joined the Marches for Civil Rights in the 1960's. Although it cost Him is Part-Time Job while a Teenager, He held on to his Beliefs to Stay in the Fight, even getting Arrested Several times & Tear Gassed, Cattle Prod Shocked, Attack Dogs & Fire Hosed because he stood with others to Petition the the Governor for the Right for Blacks to Vote.

Reverend Varner's Opinion's Personal, Political he States are HIS Own based on his life Experiences.

Rev. Clarence Varner served The United States in the Marine Corps for 8 years & served in during Vietnam during the War , he was wounded. Today he serves his God, Country & Community in the continued fight for Civil Rights.

There were many people who participated at the request of Dr. Martin Luther King

*In 1965, Blacks could not:

*go to eat AT McDonald's or any fast food , Dine In Eatery, Blacks were served at the Side or Back Door.
*Social Movie Theatres, & Clubs too
*Schools in the South & other State were Segregated
*Housing was Segregated in Much of America. Redlining was the norm.
* Thriving Middle Class Black Business's in Black Communities were forced out of Business due to the Federal Highway's that were built OVER that land.
* Separate water Fountains & Bathrooms
*Separate Transportation on Buses & Trains, etc.
* Upper Corporate Jobs were not opened to most Blacks

There were THREE Marches across the Edmund Pettis Bridge to get to the State Capitol of Montgomery, The fist TWO times, Marchers were turned away by valence's by State Troopers or Locals. The Marches were ignited by the Death of SCLC local Jimmie Lee Jackson

What did Jimmie Lee Jackson accomplish?

When Jimmie Lee Jackson saw his frail 80-year-old grandfather rudely turned away from the registrar’s office in 1962 after attempting to register to vote in Marion, Ala., the young man became angry. He knew he had to join the civil rights movement.

The marchers halted at the chief’s order, and suddenly all the streetlights on the square went out. A black minister at the head of the march knelt to pray and was struck on the head by a trooper. Other troopers began swinging their clubs, and the marchers panicked, running for cover.

The troopers began knocking out the café lights with their clubs and beating people. Jackson saw a trooper strike his mother, and he lunged for the man. He was clubbed across the face and slammed him into a cigarette machine. Another trooper pulled his pistol and shot Jackson in the stomach. It was two hours before Jackson arrived at the hospital in Selma. He died eight days later.

Forty-five years later, former trooper James Bonard Fowler pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of second-degree manslaughter. He was sentenced to six months in jail but was released early due to poor health. Fowler claimed he shot Jackson in self-defense.

At one of two services for Jackson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told a crowd of 2,000: “Jimmie Lee Jackson’s death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly to make the American dream a reality. His death must prove that unmerited suffering does not go unredeemed.”

Episode 2354: Robert H. Mayer ~ Award -Winning Author of "When The Children Marched" The Birmingham Civil Rights Movement talks How Youth Inspires a Nation

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 20:00:00 +0000

Best-Selling Author & Distinguished Carter G. Woodson book award presented to exemplary books written for children and young people each year at the NCSS Annual Conference.

My Show looks to the Jubilee Remembrances in the South this Week. I consider it a Privilege to cover the True Foot Soldiers who were physically THERE during the Events that Changed History in American Civil Rights to All.

My Guest is author Robert H. Mayer author of the book "In the Name of Emmett Till"

The Movie "Till" premiered in the Fall 2022. It was a Box-Office Hit!

Emmett Till Antilynching Act is a United States landmark federal law which makes lynching a federal hate crime and signed into law on March 29, 2022, by President Joe Biden. The bill was named after 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, sparking national and international outrage.

Robert H. Mayer is the award-winning author of When the Children Marched: The Birmingham Civil Rights Movement and the editor of The Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a teacher, Mayer’s passion continues to be making history relevant and accessible to young people. His time spent in Jackson, Canton, and McComb, Mississippi, as well as meeting scholars and activists integral to the civil rights movement, fueled the desire to write In the Name of Emmett Till. He lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with his wife Jan, where he writes, teaches, and tutors youth in a local middle school.

The 1955 murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi is widely remembered as one of the most horrible lynching's in American history. African American children old enough that year to be aware personally felt the terror of Till’s murder. These children, however, would rise up against the culture that made Till’s death possible. Over the next decade, from the violent Woolworth’s lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, determined to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world.

Episode 2353: The Legendary Little Anthony Talks New TV Special, Music & History - Celebrating Music Icons & Civil Rights Leaders, Success Today!! Part 3

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 20:14:16 +0000

Grammy® Nom, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & New Music, TV Appearances..........

Little Anthony Talks to Us about Life Success Lessons from his Elders & Touring with Ruth Brown, Sarah Vaughn, Sam Cooke, Dr. Martin Luther King & MORE. His Awesome LITTLE ANTHONY & THE MUSIC — AN ANTHOLOGY includes New Music & Classic Tunes. He Tours in concert in 2023

My Grand Folks & Family always had the Rock n Roll/Soul Classics playing when I went to Reunions & around the House during my Childhood. I consider this a GIFT!! I ALSO get the gift of Interviewing one of my Favorites: Little Anthony!!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee “Little Anthony” Gourdine is without question one of the most celebrated vocalists in the annals of popular music. His tender yet explosive delivery of a musical phrase leaves audiences spellbound with an impression so indelible that casual listeners never forget the ‘voice’ or the tunes he immortalized. These songs consistently emanate from airwaves and are often lauded in music journals worldwide. Songs such as “Goin’ Out Of My Head,” “I’m On The Outside Looking In,” “Hurt So Bad,” and “Take Me Back,” are simply four of a compendium of platinum hits performed by the extraordinarily gifted performer on national television and heard on classic and Top-40 radio spanning numerous decades. His latest blockbuster release is no will-o'-the-wisp, stab in the dark recording; it is a well-thought-out and substantive diary of songs, including many covers bearing his unmistakable vocal imprint. Producer Michael Miller spared no effort in tirelessly orchestrating a project that promises an enduring shelf-life titled LITTLE ANTHONY & THE MUSIC —Consider the infusive single and premier release "New York State of Mind." While some scratch their heads in wonderment upon hearing this cover for the first time, thinking: "That voice is familiar." And after a slight pause, like a ton of bricks it hits them: "That's Little Anthony!" For sure. And then they go on praising his vocal acumen, deservedly so. His R&B-laced rendering of "New York State of Mind" is a divergence from the perennial recording and sports an infectious 42nd Street vibe. It's performed so well that composer Billy Joel is likely to tip his hat. A popular legend recently said: "The Man's still got it!" A few days from scheduled release, we're anticipating a rush of accolades and interest in what comes next. After years of performing at arenas and concert halls, clubs and festivals, Anthony has acquired a wealth of experience that accompanies him as you flashback to his highly successful stint as lead singer with the Imperials on a few choice cuts.

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Two-Time NY Times Bestselling Author From her own remarkable experiences, Janet created the profoundly impactful Passion Test process. This simple, yet effective process has transformed thousands of lives all over the world and is the basis of the NY Times bestseller she co-authored with Chris Attwood, The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose & Shine Your Light: Powerful Practices for an Extraordinary Life by Janet Bray Attwood and Marci Shimoff .

Janet is a living example of what it means to live a passionate, fully engaged life. A celebrated transformational leader, Janet has shared the stage with people like His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Sir Richard Branson, Nobel Prize winner, F.W. deKlerk, Stephen Covey, Jack Canfield, and many others.

She is also known as one of the top marketers in America. In 2000, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen paid for 40 of the top marketing experts in the country to come to Newport Beach, CA to consult with them on marketing their book, The One Minute Millionaire. Janet was one of the very first they invited. As a result of that meeting, Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen asked Janet to partner with them in their Enlightened Millionaire Program. Her personal stories of following her passions, of the transformations which people like Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield have experienced with The Passion Test, and the practical, simple exercises she takes people through to discover their own passions are a few of the reasons she gets standing ovations wherever she presents. Janet has given hundreds of presentations and taken thousands of people through The Passion Test process, in the U.S., Canada, India, Nepal, and Europe. Janet is also the founder of The Passion Test for Business, The Passion Test for Coaches, The Passion Test for Kids and Teens, The Passion Test for Kids in lockdown, and The Reclaim Your Power program for the homeless. Janet is a golden connector. She has always had the gift of connecting with people, no matter what their status or position. From the influential and powerful, to the rich and famous, to lepers and AIDS patients, to the Saints of India, Nepal, the Philippines and elsewhere—to anyone who is seeking to live their destiny, Janet bonds with every single person, and the stories she shares are inspiring, mind-boggling, uplifting and very real. A co-founder of top online transformational magazine, Healthy Wealthy nWise, Janet has interviewed some of the most successful people in the world about the role of passion in living a fulfilling life. Her guests have included Stephen Covey, Denis Waitley, Robert Kiyosaki, Neale Donald Walsch, Paula Abdul, Director David Lynch, Richard Paul Evans, Barbara DeAngelis, marketing guru Jay Abraham, singer Willie Nelson, Byron Katie, Wayne Dyer, Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, Tony Robbins, Rhonda Byrne and many others. These live teleconference interviews have attracted listeners from all parts of the globe.

Edited versions of these interviews are made available to over 150,000 subscribers. Her Passion Test process has impacted people worldwide, and The Passion Test phenomenon has resulted in requests from schools to build a passion curriculum, from teachers, trainers and speakers to use the process, and from organizations like NASA to incorporate it in their staff development programs. It was as a result of taking The Passion Test with Janet that Jack Canfield recognized his passion to be part of a spiritual leaders’ network and out of that came the Transformational Leadership Council.

Janet and Chris are both founding members of that organization whose 100+ members serve over 10 million people in the self-development world. Janet Attwood makes magic happen. Her presentations hold audiences spellbound. Her programs attract people from all over the globe. Through her magnetic charisma she is touching the lives of millions of people around the world. janetattwood.com'

Episode 2350: Clifton Taulbert ~ Pulitzer Prize Nominated Author & Entrepreneur on Community Connections & Lasting Success

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 19:22:29 +0000

"Your Growth Mindset Defines Your Perceptions & Your Actions"

“Your will to succeed remains one of your greatest assets.”

Clifton-Taulbert

He is best known for his books Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored and Eight Habits of the Heart: Embracing the Values that Build Strong Communities.

According to Clifton L. Taulbert, noted author and entrepreneur businessman, he could have failed had he not encountered community builders and entrepreneurial thinkers early on in his life. Taulbert was born on the Mississippi Delta during the era of legal segregation where he completed his secondary education. Though opportunities were few and barriers were plentiful, Taulbert managed to dream of being successful, not knowing the shape that success would take. Today Taulbert is the President and CEO of the Freemount Corporation (a human capital development company) serving clients nationally and internationally-Fortune 500 Companies, small businesses, federal agencies, professional organizations, community colleges and K-12 leadership. Additionally, entrepreneur Taulbert is the President and CEO of Roots Java Coffee-an African-American owned national coffee brand, importing coffee from Africa. To pass his life lessons along, Taulbert shares his entrepreneurial journey with others as a Thrive15.com mentor.

He is a Generational Bridge of Segregated Times to Integrated Times Today.

In "The Invitation," Clifton Taulbert returns to the themes of "Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored," his award-winning book and the source of a major motion picture. This new memoir chronicles Taulbert's transformative experience of a supper invitation to a former plantation house in Allendale, South Carolina, where the successful adult confronts his childhood memories and wrestles with the legacies of slavery and segregation that demand to be acknowledged in his present circumstances.
Transported back to a setting that looks and feels like the cotton fields and shotgun shacks of his childhood, Taulbert finds himself expected to cross racial barriers that no "colored" man could have broached without dire consequences. "The Invitation" is the story of the man and the little boy inside him wrestling with a past they both know so well, and of stepping into a future that is still being determined.

Taulbert has authored thirteen books, several of which are foundational to his consulting philosophy: Eight Habits of the Heart and Who Owns the Ice House-Eight Life Lessons from an Unlikely Entrepreneur [Who Owns the Ice House is part of a Kauffman Foundation sponsored education initiative to expose the impact of the entrepreneurial mindset at all levels] and more recently, Shift Your Thinking: Win Where You Stand and The Invitation-living beyond the lingering lessons of race and place. Taulbert's Eight Habits has become foundational to his work on leveraging community as an asset in the workplace, and garnered him an invitation to address members of the United States Supreme Court as a personal guest of former Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O’Connor.

Clifton L. Taulbert is a trustee of the University of Tulsa has been recognized international by the Sales and Marketing Academy of Achievement, the Library of Congress, the NAACP, Rotary International as a Paul Harris Fellow and has been a recipient of the Jewish Humanitarian of the Year Award and the Richard Wright Literary Award. The Freemount Corporation is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Episode 2347: Pearl Fryar ~ WSJ, LA Times, A Man Named Pearl, Inspiring Goodwill thru His Nat'l Art Topiary Garden

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 09:17:11 +0000

Oprah, Wall Street Journal, LA Times ~ My interview with Pearl Fryar is inspiring & the documentary is a must see. The Bill and Melinda gates Foundation supports his story, Oprah & many others major media reviews do also. not to mention the millions who visit is nursery from all over the world.

Pearl Fryar started making his Topiary Garden in 1984 in a successful bid to win a prestigious local competition. He taught himself to prune and shape the trees and shrubs he had planted in his 3 acre garden, using a petrol-driven hedge trimmer and starting with a few plants. Working from his imagination, Fryar coaxed over 100 specimens of more than 20 different trees and plants, including holly, yew and juniper, into fantastic shapes, hearts, animals and abstract forms.

Pearl has passed his art on to a NEW Generation of topiary Artists to maintain his Garden.

EVEN Today, it is a National Tourist Attraction!!

When Pearl Fryar and his wife sought to buy a house in an all-white neighborhood of Bishopville, SC, they were dissuaded with the explanation that Black people don t keep up their yards. Remarkably, instead of fueling bitterness and anger, this comment motivated Pearl to win Bishopville's Yard of the Month award and, eventually, to transform his ordinary suburban yard into a horticultural wonderland. The topiary garden s centerpiece emblazons both its message and Pearl s own philosophy: Love, Peace, and Goodwill.

Pearl Fryar is an African-American born in Clinton, North Carolina, Pearl was the son of a sharecropper. Since the early 1980s, Pearl Fryar has been creating fantastic topiary at his garden in Bishopville, South Carolina. Living sculptures, Pearl s topiaries are astounding feats of artistry and horticulture. Many of the plants in Pearl s garden were rescued from the compost pile at local nurseries. With Pearl s patience and skilled hands, these throw aways have thrived and have been transformed into wonderful abstract shapes. Pearl Fryar and his garden are now internationally recognized and have been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles, television shows, and even a documentary, A Man Named Pearl. Today, the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden draws visitors from around the globe.

Visitors to the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden experience a place that is alternately beautiful, whimsical, educational, and inspiring. Pearl s garden contains over 300 individual plants, and few are spared from his skilled trimming. His extraordinary topiary is complemented by his junk art sculptures placed throughout the garden. Pearl s garden is a living testament to one man s firm belief in the results of positive thinking, hard work, and perseverance, and his dedication to spreading a message of love, peace, and goodwill.

A MAN NAMED PEARL chronicles the story of Pearl s magical garden as well as his extraordinary life, both of which serve as inspirations to his family, his community, and the thousands of visitors who come to experience Pearl s world each year. The film traces Pearl s journey from a small town sharecropper s son to an internationally-acclaimed artist, focusing in particular on his position as the celebrated cultural and spiritual icon of his impoverished town. Now 68, the soft-spoken Pearl has just one wish for all those who wander through his living art; they must leave feeling differently than when they arrived.

"It's the one time in my life ignorance paid off," chuckles Pearl Fryar, a humble man with no eduction in horticulture who, after years of dedicated work, created an astonishing garden in the economically depressed town of Bishopville, S.C. But A Man Named Pearl doesn't just wander among the three acres of Fryar's beautifully sculpted trees and bushes, all created from plants Fryar rescued from the scrap heaps of local nurseries.

The documentary shows how his singular vision spread out to affect the community, leading to Fryar being commissioned by art museums and turning Bishopville into a topiary mecca. But despite reviving the economic fortunes of the town, getting national recognition and free food from his local waffle house, and even becoming an unlikely sex symbol, Fryar remains thoughtful, warm, and dynamic, eager to help students and troubled youth discover their unexplored potential. A Man Named Pearl carefully balances the mysteries of the creative impulse with the fundamental humaneness of this outsider artist, resulting in an engaging, rewarding portrait--a perfect midpoint between The Parrots of Telegraph Hill and Crumb.

Episode 2345: Enertia® Homes ~ TIME® Inventions Award Winner & New Pioneer Magazine Modern Marvel in Green Living!

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 18:57:57 +0000

TIME Magazine - Enertia® Homes Their Company Slogan - "Your House Should Take Care of You......... Not the Other Way Around!"

My spotlight is on Green Living Because of A LOT of Talk this Year About Global Warming & the Eco-System.

Enertia® Homes use an ingenious design, and the science of materials, to heat and cool buildings without fuel or electricity. Fitted with Photovoltaic panels, and a metal seamed roof, homes can be self-reliant for heating, cooling, electricity, water and food. This is a modern Building System, an integrated group of innovations and a construction technique so basic, yet amazing and effective, it has been called a Modern Marvel- A Time Magazine Invention of the Year & Zayed Future Energy Prize, "Innovative Structure of the Century Award", AWPI Century's Best Award. These are not conventional “stick-frame” single-generation houses. The walls are solid wood, and the design life is hundreds of years. Comfort is by design and from a unique structural material, not from a mechanical/ electric compressor or furnace. The roof can generate electricity and capture water. The sun space harvests energy, and in it you can harvest food.

Most have a built-in "biosphere" modeled after planet Earths’ that draws energy from the sun, and geothermal stability from the ground, creating a temperate climate that buffers the primary living space. Your personal Greenhouse Effect warms your house in winter. Naturally-induced air currents cool it in summer. "When we started 30 years ago the terms Bio-mimicry, Green Building, Carbon Sequestration, and Life-Cycle Analysis did not exist. Enertia® homes pioneered these goals that others are still striving to achieve." ~ Enertia.com

Episode 2343: Tracey Washington Bagley ~ Six-Time Emmy Award Winning Producer, Director of "Niko Newark" a NEW Look at the 1967 Riots in Newark, NJ

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 15:40:46 +0000

Six-Time Emmy Award Winning Producer/ Film Director, of Film "Niko Newark", WABC-TV " Here and Now".

The 1960's were a Time of Change in America for Civil Rights, Voters Rights, De-Segregating Public Accommodation's, Transportation, Employment, Schools, Etc. It took a Couple Decades for these changes to fully be implemented for Black Americans. And the Youth of that Generation were front & Center will their own ideas about a better, more inclusive America.

Emmy Award winning executive producer Tracey Washington Bagley is set to make her directorial debut with “Niko Newark.”

The film is currently in production. The focus of the film is the racial tensions leading to the riots that gripped the City of Newark in 1967.

The Plot…The film shines a light on the everyday plight of young people in the urban community — how they were affected by the tragedies (racism, death, corruption) that take place that change their lives and the city’s history forever.

This is a topic stirred by controversy and intrigue while bringing up a valid and necessary conversation about race relations that we still feel overwhelmingly to this day.

Inspired by a True Story…This tragic coming of age film will be brought to you by Nick Dessipris of New Ark Productions in partnership with producer Rhyan St. Clair of Little King Studios.

Inspired by true events, this drama takes place at City Diner in downtown Newark, New Jersey. There, eleven-year-old Niko would watch diners of different races enjoying their meals but not each other due to their deeply held bigotry.

As this hideous outlook on society grows in the minds of those tainted by the toxicity, an unlikely friendship forms between the naive but fearless Niko, the son of a Greek immigrant, and Arty, an eleven-year-old quiet but curious African American kid from the nearby projects. This bond, formed organically from their innocence and lack of prejudice, will be tested as the City of Newark erupts in race riots during the long hot summer of 1967.

Will this powerful unity survive and serve as a beacon of hope for the future of the city, or will it crumble in the flames of a city many deemed to be lost?

This is a cautionary but ultimately inspiring narrative that beckons the viewer to value the quality of a person over the color of their skin.

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 10:59:30 +0000

NPR, Mayor Frm Legislator, Councilman, U.S. Presidential Appointee, Ambassador

In Honor of Remembrance's Martin Luther King Holiday', I wanted to talk with a Real Foot Soldier & Public Servant of Dr. King who is Still working for Justice for All.

I Have Benefited from Many People who Worked, Marched & Died for my Rights to Freedoms. As a Northerner that did not live thru Segregated Times or in the South, I have only read of the History & Obstacles that Black have endured. To All Those People, I am Grateful.

But Johnny Ford was in person on the scene to witness Civil Right History & as one of the first elected officials in the United States, would soon become a part of History. My Guest has a lot of insight & work we have to see thru.

Ford got his start in politics working for U.S. Sen. Robert Kennedy’s presidential campaign, and he later worked for the U.S. Department of Justice Community Relations Service.

A native of the great State of Alabama, Johnny Lawrence Ford grew up in Tuskegee, the home of Tuskegee University, “the Pride of the Swift-Growing South,” also the home of the famed Tuskegee Airmen. He graduated from Tuskegee Institute High School and received his B.A. degree in history and sociology from Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tennessee, and a Masters of Public Administration from Auburn University at Montgomery.

Episode 2340: Ronn David McPhatter ~ Actor, Vocalist & Heir to a Rock, Soul & Blues Legacy. Rhythm & Blues Foundation

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 21:38:34 +0000

Chicago PD NBS-TV Series, Tony® Award, Grammy® Awards, Lifetime Achievement Grammy's & Rock & Roll Hall & Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame Honors. He was there BEFORE his Parents won these & learned the Roots & Blessings & Pitfalls of Stardom from childhood.

Of Chicago PD, Ronn says "NBC and Dick Wolf paid me the highest honor by using my song, “I Want Your Loving” as the opening song for Season 9/episode 11 entitled “Lies."

He is a great vocalist, actor, writer, historian plus!!

Ronn David knows more than anyone that he has a lot to live up to. He has his Vocal Gift! The son of Ruth Brown, the Queen of Rhythm and Blues and Clyde McPhatter, the founder and lead vocalist of The Drifters. His Dad is in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Billy Ward's Dominoes & The Drifters.

Ruth Brown used her influence to press for musicians' rights regarding royalties and contracts; these efforts led to the founding of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. Her performances in the Broadway musical Black and Blue earned Brown a Tony Award, and the original cast recording won a Grammy Award. Brown was a recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. In 2017, Brown was inducted into National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. She is also the aunt to legendary hip hop MC Rakim.

He’s toured with artists as varied as Bonnie Raitt and Rick James, performed three times at The White House and often pays tribute to his famous dad in concert by performing Drifters classics like “On Broadway” and “Under The Boardwalk” with his own contemporary twist), movies Ronn clearly enjoying singing side by side, then eye-to-eye with Halle Berry in “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” and appearing in other great music-in-movies films about The Temptations, Little Richard and The Five Heartbeats ), and television (a young Ronn worked with the legendary comic Redd Foxx on his final TV show). Now, Ronn is now poised to take his silky vocal stylings to radio stations, on-line portals and dance clubs across the USA.

Ronn David knows what it takes to make it in the music business…and it all begins with a great song. “I Want Your Lovin’”, Ronn’s a single from his upcoming album, is that song.

Impossibly catchy, smoothly soulful and with a ready-made dance poised to fill the floor at clubs and parties from coast-to-coast, “I Want Your Lovin’” just may give Ronn David something he richly deserves; the opportunity to shine as brightly as his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame parents stars. “I love and respect what my parents accomplished very much; but like most folks, I want to make my own mark on the world And for me, a big part of that is to make my music and succeed on my own merits”, says Ronn with an easy smile from his Los Angeles home, a stone’s throw away from Hollywood Boulevard and the Capitol Records studio where his folks recorded some of their biggest hits.

Ronn David is also a proud Howard University Alumni!

Turns out Ronn is far too modest about what he’s already accomplished on his own. David is already a triple-threat veteran of music.

Episode 2334: Dave Wooley ~ Award-Winning Film Producer & Co-Director of “Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over” on CNN January 1st 2023

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 24 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

CNN, Award-Winning Director,

The long awaited award winning documentary chronicling the life and career of music legend Dionne Warwick will finally make its way to television. “Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over” airs on New Year’s Day - Sunday, January 1st, 2023 – at 9 pm ET/PT on CNN.

“Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over” was five years in the making, according to filmmaker Dave Wooley, who wrote and solely produced the documentary. Wooley also directed the film alongside veteran David Heilbroner (of “Say Her Name: The Life & Death of Sandra Bland”). “Working on Ms. Warwick’s documentary is a dream come true. “To see the movie come to fruition and most importantly, for Ms. Warwick to receive such accolades during her lifetime is gratifying,” explains Wooley, who earned the following honors for the movie – First Runner Up at the Toronto International Film Festival (category: People's Choice Award for Documentaries), Best Feature Film: Black Harvest Film Festival - Gene Siskel Film Center, Audience Award: Best Non Fiction- Montclair Film Festival, Annapolis Film Festival: Audience Award as well as the Audience Award: Bronze Lens and a 90% critics’ rating from Rotten Tomatoes.

Wooley, who also co-authored Ms. Warwick’s autobiography, “My Life as I See It”, wants viewers to realize there’s more to the singing icon than the several classic hits she enjoyed (“Walk On By”, “I Say A Little Prayer”, “Do You Know The Way To San Jose”, “Then Came You”, “That’s What Friends Are For”). “I want folks to learn about Ms. Warwick’s legacy and as a transformational leader,” explains Wooley. “We focus on her work and commitment to Civil Rights in the 1960’s and how she stood up and stared down at Jim Crow racism. Then we move on into the 1980’s with the AIDS epidemic and her ambassadorship on the US commission to address this matter, which led to Ms. Warwick to prompt then-President Ronald Reagan to speak directly on the issue.”

The documentary, which also features Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Bill Clinton, Snoop Dogg, Burt Bacharach, Carlos Santana and Alicia Keys among others, was privately screened at the Apollo Theater in NYC’s Harlem – the very venue where Ms. Warwick began her long storied solo career. Wooley explains how the icon reacted when seeing the film. “Upon viewing, Ms. Warwick said to me, ‘Dave, you put your foot in that (film)’. That meant so much to me because I put my entire being into making the doc. It’s indeed an honor.”

Most people assume everything’s fine until something hurts. But by then the trouble has been brewing a long time. To be really health savvy, we need to understand the role the gut plays in health, which goes far beyond digestion, and begin taking care of it.

Episode 2328: A Look at Browder vs Gayle Decision, M.I.A. Rosa Parks & Civil Rights & The 14th Amendment. The Truth!!

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Aurelia S. Browder, Rosa Parks, The 14th Amendment

On this Anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, I speak with a Guest, Robert James of The Dexter King Memorial Baptist Church. He was a kid at the time of this Historical Event, I ask what life for him & Black people was like everyday during Segregated Times so we can understand of Living Conditions & Laws of that time.

On December 5th, 1955, Rosa Park refused her seat on the Bus to a White Passenger. A few months later, the case of Browder vs Gayle, The Famous Court Case that challenged the Segregated Laws of Racial Discrimination on Public
Transportation, was underway.

Months BEFORE Rosa Parks, other Black Citizens refused their seat to passengers & got arrested, One was a 15 year old name: Claudette Colvin.

The main plaintiffs in the case were Aurelia S. Browder, Claudette Colvin, Susie McDonald, and Mary Louise Smith. Jeanetta Reese had originally been a plaintiff in the case, but intimidation by segregationists (including threatening phone calls and pressure from a senior police officer for whom she worked) caused her to withdraw in February 1956.

Filed by Fred Gray and Charles D. Langford on behalf of four African American women who had been mistreated on city buses, the case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld a district court ruling that the statute was unconstitutional. Gray and Langford filed the federal district court petition that became Browder v. Gayle on 1 February 1956, two days after segregationists bombed King’s house.

The list of defendants included Mayor William A. Gayle, the city’s chief of police, representatives from Montgomery’s Board of Commissioners, Montgomery City Lines, Inc., two bus drivers, and representatives of the Alabama Public Service Commission. Gray was aided in the case by Thurgood Marshalland other National Association for the Advancement of Colored People attorneys.

On June 5, 1956, the District Court ruled 2-1 that bus segregation is unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The state and city appealed, and the decision was summarily affirmed by the United States Supreme Court on November 13, 1956.

In 2019 a statue of Rosa Parks was unveiled in Montgomery, Alabama, and four granite markers were also unveiled near the statue on the same day to honor four plaintiffs in Browder v. Gayle Aurelia Browder, Susie McDonald, Claudette Colvin, and Mary Louise Smith. One of those plaintiffs, Mary Louise Smith, took part in the unveiling ceremony.

This is a Tribute to Mr. Robert James & ALL the ancestors who fought for Civil Rights for Black Citizens at that Time. They helped Change the World.

Lots of Great Stuff Happening for Landau, International Travel, New Music, & Fatherhood! Part 1

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. first burst onto the national conscience as the Sinatra-and-Soul singing on NBC TV’s “America’s Got Talent with his incredible voice, undeniable charisma and unparalleled showmanship. And a decade later, he’s still going strong.

After a series of dead-end jobs, run-ins with the police and a too-soon failed marriage, Landau eventually found himself homeless and sleeping in his car. Then, his voice became his calling card.

Eventually, that one-of-a-kind voice would lead him back to West Virginia to perform for local charities and nursing homes. Landau says, “I was singing for charities, when most of the time, I had less than the people receiving the charity proceeds did, but that was OK because I was singing.”

He’s performed all over the world, from China to New York City, Los Angeles to Europe where he had the honor to perform for U.S. servicemen and their families stationed there. He’s sung the national anthem prior to games by the Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, New York Rangers, Baltimore Orioles, Oklahoma City Thunder, Washington Nationals, and his beloved West Virginia University Mountaineers during a nationally televised homecoming game.

Landau’s book “From Washing Cars to Hollywood Stars” featuring his amazing story reached #1 on Amazon, his “Live in Washington DC at Bethesda Blues and Jazz” concert DVD was a best-seller and he had his first movie cameo in 2017 in the Ron James biopic “Choices”.

In 2021 Landau proudly released LANDAU LIVE IN LAS VEGAS a pre-pandemic recording at Caesars Palace that includes several never-before-released tracks. Enjoy Landau’s unique take on the Great American Songbook as well as classic R&B, all backed by his long-time stellar musicians in LANDAU’S LITTLE BIG BAND, with guest background vocals by former Temptations and Four Tops lead singer Theo Peoples!

Tony Micale is my Guest & The Original Lead Singer of the Reflections. The Reflections were Golden World's most successful group. This Interview was so much Fun! Tony & The Reflections are still on Tour Today & thru 2023. reflections-music.com

I Could Not do a Spotlight on the Music Scene without highlighting Golden World Records in Detroit, Michigan.

Black Business owners the Beautiful Joanne Bratton & Businessman Ed Wingate opened The label Golden World Records in 1964. Joanne ran the Company.

My Family were Business Partners with the owners. They owned Hotels, Nightclub's also. Gold World Music & Artists would eventually be acquired by Berry Gordy to become a part of Motown.

The Group the Reflection's had the labels 1st Million Selling Hit " Just Lke Romeo & Juliette" The Made the cover of Record World & toured with the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars. They played the Apollo Theater with James Brown. The Reflections achieved success purely on the strength of their well-crafted harmonies and cool professionalism. It's no wonder that six decades later The Reflections are still heralded as one of the finest vocal groups of The Sixties Pop and Doo-Wop Music Era.

They made their movie appearance in Columbia Pictures "Winter-A-Go-Go" in 1965, performing "I'm Sweet On You".

They were signed to the same Detroit R&B label as their blue-eyed soul peers, The Flaming Ember and The Shades Of Blue..

Songwriter Edwin (Hatcher) Starr, The Dramatics, Carl Carlton, The Sunliners (Rare Earth), George Clinton, Sidney Barnes, Pat Lewis & many other Producers, Songwriter, Artists & Musicians started their careers at Golden World.

The Golden World studio became Motown's "Studio B", working in support of the original Motown recording studio (Studio A) at Hitsville USA. Before its purchase by Gordy, the studio's recordings often included moonlighting Motown back-up musicians, including James Jamerson on bass and George McGregor on percussion.

The famous clock that hung in Golden World Records is currently owned by Melodies and Memories in Eastpointe, Michigan, and is on display there. A restored old Steinway piano that Motown inherited from Golden World is now on display at the Motown Museum

The Reflections continued to dominate the charts with "Shabby Little Hut", "Poor Man's Son" and "Like Columbus Did".

They are still performing today to sold out shows and standing ovations throughout The U.S.A. and Canada. The Reflections' name is proudly displayed on the wall of The Cleveland Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame! Reflections-Music.com

Episode 2316: Robert . H. Mayer ~ Award -Winning Author of "When The Children Marched" & "In the Name of Emmett Till" talks How Youth Inspires a Nation

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 29 Oct 2022 15:44:59 +0000

Best-Selling Author & Distinguished Carter G. Woodson book award presented to exemplary books written for children and young people each year at the NCSS Annual Conference.

The Movie "Till" is a Fall 2022 Box-Office Hit!

Emmett Till Antilynching Act is a United States landmark federal law which makes lynching a federal hate crime and signed into law on March 29, 2022, by President Joe Biden. The bill was named after 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, sparking national and international outrage.

Robert H. Mayer is the award-winning author of When the Children Marched: The Birmingham Civil Rights Movement and the editor of The Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a teacher, Mayer’s passion continues to be making history relevant and accessible to young people. His time spent in Jackson, Canton, and McComb, Mississippi, as well as meeting scholars and activists integral to the civil rights movement, fueled the desire to write In the Name of Emmett Till. He lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with his wife Jan, where he writes, teaches, and tutors youth in a local middle school.

The 1955 murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi is widely remembered as one of the most horrible lynching's in American history. African American children old enough that year to be aware personally felt the terror of Till’s murder. These children, however, would rise up against the culture that made Till’s death possible. Over the next decade, from the violent Woolworth’s lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, determined to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world.

Episode 2312: Cynthia Tucker ~ Pulitzer Prize -Winning Syndicated Columnist & Frye Gaillard Award Winning Journalist "The Southernization of America"

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 07:00:00 +0000

Pulitzer Prize & Nat'l Award Winning Journalists

With America Heading into a Mid=Term Elections just Weeks Away, This NEW Read is Particularly Intriguing!!

In 1974 John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie. Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton’s thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America’s current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today, the racial backlash against President Obama, family separation on our southern border, the rise of the Christian right, the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on our nation’s capitol. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege.

Frye Gaillard is an award-winning journalist with over 30 published works on Southern history and culture, including Watermelon Wine; Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America; The Books That Mattered: A Reader’s Memoir; Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family’s Civil War Letters; Go South to Freedom; A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost; and The Slave Who Went to Congress. A Hard Rain was selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2018. Writer-in-residence at the University of South Alabama, he is also John Egerton Scholar in Residence at the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi. He is the winner of the Clarence Cason Award for Nonfiction Writing, the Lillian Smith Book Award, and the Eugene Current-Garcia Award For Distinction in Literary Scholarship. In 2019, Gaillard was awarded the Alabama Governor's Arts Award for his contributions to literature.

Cynthia Tucker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist who has spent most of her career in journalism, having previously worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as an editorial page editor and as a Washington-based political columnist. She has also been featured as a political commentator on television and radio. Tucker’s work as a journalist has been celebrated by the National Association of Black Journalists (who inducted her into its hall of fame), Harvard University, and the Alabama Humanities Foundation. She spent three years as a visiting professor at the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and is currently the journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama.

Taos Wynn is an American humanitarian, entrepreneur, and advocate for social progress recognized for his commitment to building stronger communities domestically and abroad. Taos currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer at Perfect Love Foundation, a non-profit organization he founded in 2013. Since its inception, the foundation has led community outreach and engagement initiatives in the City of Atlanta including food drives and portable meal and hygiene kit distributions for homeless individuals and areas impacted by natural disasters. In 2018 alone, under Taos’ leadership and through the support and contributions of sponsors, partners and volunteers, Perfect Love Foundation fed over 3,400 people and provided more than 1,500 hygiene kits with toiletry items to individuals. The Foundation also gave more than 600 hours of combined community service to the City of Atlanta.

Most recently, the foundation piloted a leadership development initiative called Leading Hope. The program is designed to promote positive community and generational change and seek.

In addition to nonprofit and philanthropic efforts, Taos also devotes his time to service in the public sector. Initiating advocacy efforts in 2017, Taos served as a Legislative Aid and community organizer lobbying for the passing of Senate Bill 104, authored by Senator Donzella James to aid in the fight against human trafficking. In January of 2018, Taos assisted efforts with Senate Bill 145, petitioning to make the demoralizing act of rape non-gender specific in order to ensure the protection of all Georgia citizens. Taos also founded Unify America, a national campaign for unity and love designed to bring people together and stand against gender, racial, and economic inequality. Under this effort, Taos submitted a formal request to Georgia Legislators for “Unify Georgia,” a day symbolizing the promotion of unity, gender and racial equality, and intolerance of discrimination. On March 11, 2019, “Unify Georgia” was commemorated as an official day in the state of Georgia. Taos is continuing to expand the initiative to neighboring states with the goal of gaining participation from all 50 states.

Keeping his commitment to driving change on a local and national level, Taos launched The Millennial Civil Rights campaign last July. The campaign is an intergenerational effort led by Millennial leaders to motivate change in the areas of race relations, gun violence, individuals rights, and financial insecurity. In September 2019, the campaign announced its first initiative to promote political engagement and voter registration: The Free Democracy Tour. The tour is a six-campus college tour set to equip students with principles of democracy, unity, nonviolence and onsite voter registration. The campaign has garnered national media attention and has received the support of Atlanta Civil Rights leaders, elected officials and community activists including Congressman John Lewis, Congressman Hank Johnson, Senator Donzella James, Representative Park Cannon, and Representative Marie Metze.

An advocate for equal rights and the promotion of unity, Taos has been recognized for his public service on national, state, and local levels. In 2016 and 2018, he obtained the Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteer Service presented by the Office of the United States President and the Corporation for National and Community Service. In April 2018, the Office of Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms awarded Taos the Phoenix Award for his leadership, advocacy and philanthropic efforts. He has also received the Outstanding Georgia Citizen Award and Daily Point of Light Award for his contributions and volunteer service to the greater Atlanta community.

Patton President’s Award for Community Service and Social Justice.

Episode 2307: Trade Martin ~ Renown Producer, Songwriter, Vocalist, From Doo Wop, Vanilla Fudge, Patti Labelle, B.B. King, to Kanye & Still Evolving! Pt.1

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 23:00:00 +0000

Trade Martin is an American musician, songwriter and producer.

Grammy award-winning multi-instrumentalist, Trade Martin, possesses one of the most gifted musical minds and voices in the entertainment spectrum.

Trivia: Trade Martin's song "Take Me for a Little While" is sampled on "Ghost Town" is a song by rapper Kanye West
BUT Trade has Worked with the Legends Like Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops Producer, Phil Spector, Been a Session Musician, of famous Grammy® Award Winning songs, From the Brill Building to Iconic Commercials for Pepsi. Thru the Decades of Music a Mix of Genre's are happening & Trad was a part of the scene

Trade Martin's career has covered so many eras of music — as a producer, arranger, songwriter, and even occasionally as a recording artist — that he's almost impossible to pin down as a musical figure. In the late '50s, in a partnership with Johnny Power, he began recording acts such as Johnny & the Jokers and released their work on the Harvard Records label before the two formed Rome Records in 1960. Rome only lasted until 1962, weighted down by its lack of reliable distribution, which prevented the company from succeeding despite signing such talent as the Earls (who went on to score their hits for Old Town Records), Del & the Escorts, and the Glens. Martin usually played all of the instrumental accompaniments for these groups, overdubbing the instruments one at a time. In 1963, following the demise of the Rome label, Martin left the partnership and recorded under his own name on Roulette and other labels through the end of the '60s, and even got an entire LP, Let Me Touch You, out on Buddah Records in 1972. His main activity and success, however, were rooted in his work as a producer, arranger, and songwriter, functions that he has performed over the years in idioms ranging from '60s girl group pop/rock, folk, and electric blues to '70s funk and '80s dance-pop. He has also worked with artists such as Eric Andersen, Ellie Greenwich, Lesley Gore, the Tokens, Ian and Sylvia, Rick Nelson, B.B. King, B.T. Express, Pam Russo, and Solomon Burke. What's more, his songs have been recorded by the likes of Dusty Springfield ("Take Me for a Little While"), Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles, B.B. King ("Peace to the World"), and Dave Edmunds ("Don't You Double Cross Me"). He has also written and produced a handful of film soundtracks.

Martin wrote several film scores. Credits include Made for Each Other, Hail, Stormy Monday, The Inkwell, It's My Party, and West New York.[https://www.trademartinmusic.com

Episode 2302: Legendary Little Anthony Gourdine Talks More Bout His Early Music Career, Touring BEFORE Integration, NEW Grammy® Nom, New Music, Part 2

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 19:16:14 +0000

Grammy® Nom, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & New Music, TV Appearances..........

What was it Like Being a Rock & Soul Star & Tour BEFORE Integration? What was it like for a New Yorker Touring the segregated South n the late 50's early 60's? What was it like to hear your song on the radio & be on a Dance TV Show as Black a music act, yet the audiences & dancers in that studio were segregated ( No Blacks, Minorities allowed)?
We discuss early Rock, Radio & icons of the past & present in this episode

Although his music pre-dates ME, My Grand Folks & Family always had the Rock n Roll/Soul Classics playing when I went to Reunions & around the House during my Childhood. I consider this a GIFT!! I ALSO get the gift of Interviewing one of my Favorites: Little Anthony!!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee “Little Anthony” Gourdine is without question one of the most celebrated vocalists in the annals of popular music. His tender yet explosive delivery of a musical phrase leaves audiences spellbound with an impression so indelible that casual listeners never forget the ‘voice’ or the tunes he immortalized. These songs consistently emanate from airwaves and are often lauded in music journals worldwide. Songs such as “Goin’ Out Of My Head,” “I’m On The Outside Looking In,” “Hurt So Bad,” and “Take Me Back,” are simply four of a compendium of platinum hits performed by the extraordinarily gifted performer on national television and heard on classic and Top-40 radio spanning numerous decades. His latest blockbuster release is no will-o'-the-wisp, stab in the dark recording; it is a well-thought-out and substantive diary of songs, including many covers bearing his unmistakable vocal imprint. Producer Michael Miller spared no effort in tirelessly orchestrating a project that promises an enduring shelf-life titled LITTLE ANTHONY & THE MUSIC — AN ANTHOLOGY. Songs include the classics “A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening, ”Love is a Many Splendored Thing,” “What A Difference A Day Makes,” and “Who’s Sorry Now.” Forty memorable selections should keep you and your significant other reminiscing for some time to come. And if you’re not spoken for, you can enjoy it all to yourself for as long as you can imagine! There is something for everyone in these forever volumes. And I promise you: The fun verbal exchanges in the narration between Anthony and the producer are insightful as twists and turns unravel in the development of this contemporary musical masterpiece. Despite many of the songs being standards, you’ll notice his articulate style blessing each track. Consider the infusive single and premier release "New York State of Mind." While some scratch their heads in wonderment upon hearing this cover for the first time, thinking: "That voice is familiar." And after a slight pause, like a ton of bricks it hits them: "That's Little Anthony!" For sure. And then they go on praising his vocal acumen, deservedly so. His R&B-laced rendering of "New York State of Mind" i

Episode 2301: Larry Chance ~ Talks Remember Then & Celebrating NEW Concerts & Music "From The Heart"

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 07:00:00 +0000

PBS, ABC

I LOVE History of Vocals n Music, Rock & Roll/Soul & Today I Get to go Back BEFORE my Time on Earth in the Rock & Soul Chart Dial to an AWESOME vocalist in the Music Era. And with New Music From The Heart & a Single "After You". Larry also as a New Jazz Album & a Single with Billy Vera.. And He's Got More Music, Concerts & TV Appearances Too.

Larry Chance was the driving force behind the group's formation and success. Chance grew up in Philadelphia and attended high school with Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, and Danny Rapp of Danny & the Juniors. But it was not until 1957 that he moved with his parents to the Bronx after high school, that his musical career took off.

Chance formed a group at the Tecumsa Social Club, known as the Hi-Hatters. The group was Chance, Bob Del Din, Eddie Harder, Larry Palombo and John Wray. Later, in 1961, the Earls lost their original member Larry Palombo in an army skydiving accident. In 1961, Rome released the Earls' first record – "Life is But a Dream" (Rome 101 – 1961)[2] b/w "It's You" (and in the late 1970s released with "Whoever You Are" as the B-side). The group then performed with Murray the K and on Dick Clark's American Bandstand show. They released another record that year, "Looking For My Baby" (Rome 102) b/w "Cross My Heart".

In 1962, the group hooked up with Stan Vincent and recorded "Remember Then" for Old Town Records (Old Town 1130) b/w "Let's Waddle".[2] It was a hit, peaking at #24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963. Chance co-wrote the group's next single "Never" b/w "I Keep A-Tellin You" (Old Town 1133–1963). The group scored another hit in 1963 on Old Town with "Eyes" b/w "Look My Way" (Old Town 1141). Later, a demo "I Believe" was released (Old Town 1149–1963) b/w "Don't Forget".[2] "I Believe" became a much bigger record from the 1970s onward as it received heavy airplay on NYC oldies radio.

Chance later had a brief solo career, recording "Let Them Talk". He returned to the Earls who, at that time, had two new members – Bob Moricco and Ronnie Calabrese. The group started playing their own instruments and, in 1967, recorded "If I Could Do It Over" b/w "Papa" (Mr. G 801 – 1967), and a track for ABC Records, "Its Been a Long Time Coming" b/w "In My Lonely Room" (ABC 11109–1967).

The group continued performing into the 1970s and, in 1977, they released a disco version of The Velvets' "Tonight (Could Be the Night)." By 1983, the group's personnel were Chance, Ronnie Calabrese, Colon Rello, Bobby Tribuzio and Tony Obert, and they recorded Larry Chance and the Earls – Today.

From 1989-1993, the group consisted of: Larry Chance, Bobby Tribuzzio, Bob Coleman, Art Loria (formerly of The Belmonts) and T.J. Barbella. This roster continued a busy performance schedule and studio works. In 1989, they were on Broadway performing in the original production of A Bronx Tale, a one man play by Chazz Palminteri. They recorded the theme song of the production "Streets of the Bronx", which was slated to appear on the soundtrack of the motion picture A Bronx Tale, however a different version of the song was eventually chosen. Two albums were released: Larry Chance and the Earls (Live!) and Earl Change. Another single released in 1989 was "Elvis:He's Alive", which was warmly received by critics and received a BMI Award of Recognition of a Musical Work. They were nominated as "Best Musical Act" in Atlantic City for their eight week run at The Claridge Hotel, starring with Sal Richards.

Episode 2297: The Legendary Little Anthony Talks Bout His Career, NEW Grammy® Nom, New Music, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & New York State of Mind!! Part 1

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Grammy® Nom, New Music, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

My Grand Folks & Family always had the Rock n Roll/Soul Classics playing when I went to Reunions & around the House during my Childhood. I consider this a GIFT!! I ALSO get the gift of Interviewing one of my Favorites: Little Anthony!!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee “Little Anthony” Gourdine is without question one of the most celebrated vocalists in the annals of popular music. His tender yet explosive delivery of a musical phrase leaves audiences spellbound with an impression so indelible that casual listeners never forget the ‘voice’ or the tunes he immortalized. These songs consistently emanate from airwaves and are often lauded in music journals worldwide. Songs such as “Goin’ Out Of My Head,” “I’m On The Outside Looking In,” “Hurt So Bad,” and “Take Me Back,” are simply four of a compendium of platinum hits performed by the extraordinarily gifted performer on national television and heard on classic and Top-40 radio spanning numerous decades. His latest blockbuster release is no will-o'-the-wisp, stab in the dark recording; it is a well-thought-out and substantive diary of songs, including many covers bearing his unmistakable vocal imprint. Producer Michael Miller spared no effort in tirelessly orchestrating a project that promises an enduring shelf-life titled LITTLE ANTHONY & THE MUSIC — AN ANTHOLOGY. Songs include the classics “A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening, ”Love is a Many Splendored Thing,” “What There is something for everyone in these forever volumes. And I promise you: The fun verbal exchanges in the narration between Anthony and the producer are insightful as twists and turns unravel in the development of this contemporary musical masterpiece. Despite many of the songs being standards, you’ll notice his articulate style blessing each track. Consider the infusive single and premier release "New York State of Mind." , https://www.harmonystreet.biz/

Episode 2293: FATi Queen ~ BET Vocalist, Actress, Producer Talks Her Unique Take on Musical Heritage & Future

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 21 Aug 2022 01:46:12 +0000

BET Networks

"Well, my name is FATi because I’m sweet, short, and petite. I was born in Liberia raised in the Ivory Coast but grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. As soon as I was born, I wasn’t crying, I was singing (laughs) so pretty much all my life.

FATi means love and faith, its perfect because I’m living in my faith. I’m living in my purpose now."

Born in Liberia West Africa, FATi’s family tree is deeply rooted in artistic expression. Her musical heritage includes jazz vocalist and songwriter, Senabella, The Bronzevilla Diva, a great-grandmother who was a celebrated jazz singer in the ’40s, a grandmother who is a published author in Africa, and an uncle, Robert Kool Bell of Kool and the Gang.

FATi’s sound blends elements of R&B, hip-hop, reggae, and soul with cool savors of Afro-pop into infectious concoctions of superbly delicious music. Her music video for “Queen” surges with potent dynamics, while her previous hit video, “L.O.V.E. Love,” simmers with sultry soul and R&B flavors.

From one angle, FATi’s “QUEEN” is an audacious production: it fuses hip-hop and R&B with drums, brass, and lead guitar suggestive of Afropop, and matches it with a sparkling, warm-weather vibe suitable for any Tropical playlist. From another angle, it’s all perfectly consistent. The track feels less like a balancing act and more like a homecoming.

Afro-Pop recording sensation has recently released an Island vibe single, entitled “L.O.V.E. Love”, inspired by the sun, water and beauty of the beach in West Africa, and the universal joy of love. The song is a prelude to her next single, an anthemic song of inspiration called “Queen.” Both are releases from her new album, “Give Me More”, named because once you hear it you will desire more, and more and more.

Chances are, a talent as audacious as FATi would find an audience anywhere on earth. Right now, she’s tearing up the music scene in Kenya, Ghana, and the Ivory Coast, and she’s established herself as an exciting new voice in one of the undisputed centers of musical culture in the world. She’s absorbed and synthesized all of the traditions of Liberia and Abidjan – the local heritage, the colonial influences, the fascination with American pop – and she’s making sounds that are wholly her own.

"I want to dedicate my single, “L.O.V.E” to Nipsey Hussle. I want to send love and light to those who were affected by his passing."

Marvelous Melba is truly a triple threat in the entertainment industry -- winning top honors in music, theatre and television: American prolific 5 Octave singer and Tony award winning actress.
Broadway, Contemporary Soul/R&B, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Gospel and Classical.

The Music Historian in ME Loves to Talk to the Legends in Many Niche Careers & Ms. Melba Moore has a unique career in Entertainment!

Melba has NEW Music Compilation called "Imagine'. Already Topping the American & British Soul charts.

Won a Tony Award for best featured actress in a musical for her role in the musical "Purlie,"

Was first African American woman to play the female lead in the musical "Les Misérables" on Broadway.

Starred in her own sitcom, "Melba."

Music

Celebrated top hits during the70s, 80s and 90s-- "Falling," "You Stepped Into My Life," "Love’s Comin’ At Ya," and "A Little Bit More" — and others
Performed a special rendition of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing'
Merged her inspirational and gospel style in many songs.

Soon after the success of the ‘The Melba Moore/Clifton Davis Show,” it was time for her soaring soprano to take her foray into the recording studio. First signed to Buddah Records, Melba had hits like “This Is It,” “Lean On Me” and “You Stepped Into My Life,” garnering Grammy nominations and international success. Later signed to Capitol Records, she followed that success with “Love’s Comin At Ya” and then a string of R&B hits followed, including "Read My Lips"—which later won Moore a third Grammy nomination (for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance), making her just the third black artist after Donna Summer and Michael Jackson to be nominated in the rock category.

Moore would also record “Lift Every Voice And Sing” (the Negro National Anthem) at the behest of Dr. Dorothy Height, the president of the National Council of Negro Women, who wanted Moore to use her formidable talent to ensure that the song would reach a new generation.

Melba Moore’s produced version of “Lift Every Voice and Sing" which was entered into the United States Congressional Record as the official Negro National Anthem in 1990, was just named an ‘American Aural Treasure,’ by the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress for Ms. Moore’s co-produced recorded rendition of the anthem

The son of Ruth Brown, the Queen of Rhythm and Blues and Clyde McPhatter, the founder and lead vocalist of The Drifters. His Dad is in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Billy Ward's Dominoes & The Drifters.

Ruth Brown used her influence to press for musicians' rights regarding royalties and contracts; these efforts led to the founding of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. Her performances in the Broadway musical Black and Blue earned Brown a Tony Award, and the original cast recording won a Grammy Award. Brown was a recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. In 2017, Brown was inducted into National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. She is also the aunt to legendary hip hop MC Rakim.

He’s toured with artists as varied as Bonnie Raitt and Rick James, performed three times at The White House and often pays tribute to his famous dad in concert by performing Drifters classics like “On Broadway” and “Under The Boardwalk” with his own contemporary twist), movies Ronn clearly enjoying singing side by side, then eye-to-eye with Halle Berry in “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” and appearing in other great music-in-movies films about The Temptations, Little Richard and The Five Heartbeats ), and television (a young Ronn worked with the legendary comic Redd Foxx on his final TV show). Now, Ronn is now poised to take his silky vocal stylings to radio stations, on-line portals and dance clubs across the USA.

Ronn David knows what it takes to make it in the music business…and it all begins with a great song. “I Want Your Lovin’”, Ronn’s a single from his upcoming album, is that song.

Impossibly catchy, smoothly soulful and with a ready-made dance poised to fill the floor at clubs and parties from coast-to-coast, “I Want Your Lovin’” just may give Ronn David something he richly deserves; the opportunity to shine as brightly as his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame parents stars. “I love and respect what my parents accomplished very much; but like most folks, I want to make my own mark on the world And for me, a big part of that is to make my music and succeed on my own merits”, says Ronn with an easy smile from his Los Angeles home, a stone’s throw away from Hollywood Boulevard and the Capitol Records studio where his folks recorded some of their biggest hits.

Ronn David is also a proud Howard University Alumni!

Turns out Ronn is far too modest about what he’s already accomplished on his own. David is already a triple-threat veteran of music.

Episode 2265: Robert Ferguson, MS, CN. -ESPN, HBO, CNN, Healthy Nutrition & Fitness Lifestyle

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 28 May 2022 09:07:25 +0000

Good Morning America, ESPN, HBO, CNN, ABC-TV, E, FOX News

Former U.S. Marine, Entreprener, Celebrity Nutritionist & Fitness Specialist ~ Robert Ferguson, MS, CN says Healthful living and lifestyle changes work," author of Conquering the Munchie Monster. "What so many look for is a quick fix; but at the end of the day, they are less than successful because they don't believe they can be successful." Ferguson, who owns the company Diet Free Life, has been helping people achieve weight loss through healthful living since 1998.

A former U.S. Marine, he works with both the general population and celebrities. He also is a physical conditioning and nutrition specialist for professional boxers on Showtime®, HBO®, ESPN® and "The Contender." One of Ferguson's goals is to bridge the gap within the African American community between knowing what is healthful and practicing what it knows. He conducts free live cooking demonstrations and fitness programs, and delivers motivational speeches in urban areas across the country. Ferguson teaches people how to make their favorite recipes more healthful, and he shows his clients how to incorporate good health into their existing lifestyles with diet and fitness plans customized to meet each person's needs.

"There is a misconception that healthful living is boring, bland and difficult to maintain. But it really can be enjoyable, fun and easy," he said. "Many people who want to be healthy feel like they have to walk away from their cultural identities," he added. "They have an all-or-nothing mindset: either eat bland and boring -- steamed broccoli and salmon -- or go back to eating fried chicken every day." Friends and family often are the biggest stumbling blocks to living a healthful lifestyle. "There's an internal battle between being healthy and being accepted," Ferguson said. "People are always thinking about what they'll lose by upgrading their lifestyle with nutrition and fitness. When people start to eat healthfully, and all their friends and family continue to eat unhealthfully, they feel like they stand out." But Ferguson believes that when healthful efforts are viewed as a lifestyle change rather than as a diet, individuals will become self-reliant and empowered -- and therefore experience long-term success. They also will set positive examples for those closest to them. "I want to open eyes and minds to show that life can be lived and experienced differently without the word DIET," Ferguson said. ~ DietFreeLife.com

Episode 2256: Dionne Warwick ~ 6x GRAMMY® Award winning Music Legend... "She's Back!!

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 03 May 2022 08:37:54 +0000

Dionne was also named Smithsonian Ambassador of Music!!

Marie Dionne Warwick, an American singer, actress, and television show host who became a United Nations Global Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization and a United States Ambassador of Health.

She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with “Don’t Make Me Over.” Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” "Promises Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl’s in Love With You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls.
Warwick received her first GRAMMY® Award in 1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second GRAMMY® in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.” She became the first African-American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance. This award was only presented to one other legend, Miss Ella Fitzgerald.

Warwick’s recordings of songs such as “A House is not a Home,” “Alfie,” ”Valley of the Dolls,” and “The April Fools,” made her a pioneer as one of the first female artists to popularize classic movie themes.

Warwick attended The Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, and during that time, began making trips to New York to do regular session work. She sang behind many of the biggest recording stars of the 1960′s including Dinah Washington, Sam Taylor, Brook Benton, Chuck Jackson, and Solomon Burke, among many others. It was at this time that a young composer named Burt Bacharach heard her sing during a session for The Drifters and asked her to sing on demos of some new songs he was writing with his new lyricist Hal David. In 1962, one such demo was presented to Scepter Records, which launched a hit-filled 12 -year association with the label.

In 1976, Warwick signed with Arista Records, beginning a third decade of hit-making. Arista Records label-mate Barry Manilow produced her first Platinum-selling album, “Dionne,” which included back-to-back hits “I’ll Never Love This Way Again,” and “Déjà vu.” Both recordings earned GRAMMY® Awards, making Warwick the first female artist to win the Best Female Pop and Best Female R&B Performance Awards.

Warwick’s 1982 album, “Heartbreaker,” co-produced by Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, became an international chart-topper. In 1985, she reunited with composer Burt Bacharach and longtime friends Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder to record the landmark song “That’s What Friends Are For,” which became a number one hit record around the world and the first recording dedicated to raising awareness and major funds (over $3 Million) for the AIDS cause in support of AMFAR, which Warwick continues to support.

Warwick’s pride and joy are her two sons, singer/recording artist David Elliott and award-winning music producer Damon Elliott, and her family. ~ DionneWarwickonLine.com

Episode 2250: Ralph Rolle ~ ABC-TV GMA, Celebrity Percussionist, CEO of Soul Snacks Cookie Co. in Hilton Resorts, Kroger Walmart. Worldwide!!

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 02:24:33 +0000

CNN, ABC, BET, FOX

Music & Munchies is My Show Theme This Week: Soul Snacks Cookie Company!

Everyone wants to be a leader in a world where people don’t often possess the experience or expertise to be in the lead. That is gained from mastering the skills and learning to follow. Ralph Rolle is a prime example of learning to follow becoming born to lead.

Ralph followed his older brother in learning the drums, but that he led him to becoming a premier musician, who has created music with everyone from super producer Nile Rodgers and his iconic disco/R&B group Chic, pop legends Sting and Bono, the 1st woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Aretha Franklin, hip-hop giants Biggie Smalls and Queen Latifah, jazz superstar Chris Botti, the queen of Neo-Soul Erykah Badu, Vanessa Williams, soul crooner D’Angelo, songstylist India Arie, Lady Gaga, Dolly Pardon, Bono, Roger Daltry, John Legend, Joss Stone, Elvis Costello and playing in the resident band for N.B.C. ‘It’s Showtime at The Apollo’ for over 15 seasons. Ralph has also served as the musical director for syndicated “The Caroline Rhea Show” and he served in the same role for Japanese R&B/soul superstar Toshi Kubota. Ralph stepped out into the world of music because he was following his brother, who was following the lead of his mother, who brought a set of drums into the house to keep her rambunctious sons out of the streets and out of trouble. Ralph’s brother Howard told him that he couldn’t disturb the set-up of the drums, even though Ralph was left-handed and his brother was not. But they both listened to every kind of music, from gospel and jazz, and for Ralph, Motown’s heyday of music, with the Supremes and the Miracles and the brilliance of the Temptations blew his mind and lead him on a path that took him around the world, playing on stages and in clubs that were the site of some of the greatest moments in music history. He followed him passion around the world and then followed his heart when a new dream, a new vision, rose up in him and began to change his course in life.

Ralph took the time, any time he had the time, to stop and cook and enjoy life. It helped him to come down from the tension and time on the road that was always in motion. Cooking, another gift he received from his mother, gave him the peace of mind he needed to slow down and breathe. And in learning his way around the kitchen, he started to bake. He followed his grandmother in and around the kitchen while she cooked but being a smart young boy, Ralph paid attention. He watched the details of making his favorites, including rushing to lick the bowl after she mixed her famous cake and over time, he mastered baking. It soon became his happy place, but also his calling card. If he liked a girl, he didn’t sing her a song or show off his drumming skills. He would bake for her. That stayed with him and when he was hanging out with his musician friends, he would have his signature cookies. At first they laughed, but quickly the request became “please bring those cookies with you!”

Over time, his cookies found their way into the hands of clients such as Westside Market, Franks Market, and many more. Good Morning America host chose Soul Snacks for her holiday gifting in 2011. In 2015, Bette Midler and Ralph met when Nile Rodgers and Chic were the guest artists and Ms. Midler’s annual Hulaween Charity event. Ralph had his “cookie calling card” with him. Ms. Midler loved Soul Snacks so much that she placed orders for her family and friends. Soon, he was selling his cookies at Melba’s, a legendary soul food restaurant in Harlem. That arrangement became a business that quickly took off because one night someone from BET’s YSB Magazine did a story of this musician who worked at the Apollo Theater and was also a baker. The only number he could post was his sister’s pager number. She didn’t think he would get too many calls to handle. They were both wrong. The orders poured in and soon, he was featured in CNN, BET, ABC and FOX networks, in New York Times newspaper and in The Source and Vibe magazines. From there, Ralph gave birth to “SOUL SNACKS.”

SOUL SNACKS offers a variety of delicious cookies such as Georgia Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Peanut Butter, Down Home Double Chocolate Chip, Ebony and Ivory Almond Cookie, Grampy’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie, French Cocoa Chocolate Chip, Miami Raisin Walnut, Chunked Up Chocolate Walnut, Cranberry Oatmeal Raisin, Joyful Gingerbread and the most recently added, but now #1 seller, Sweet Potato Cookies. “Inside of every cookie is years of heart, soul and lots of pride that has been the main ingredient of SOUL SNACKS Cookies for over a decade.” The company has recently upgraded into a new and larger facility and is now being sold in nearly 800 Walmart stores. Soul Snacks have also satisfied customers in Japan, Europe, Africa, The West Indies, Canada, and throughout The United States.

“There is no expiration date on passion and there is no Plan B!” Ralph offers, with a smile on his face, realizing that it takes a lot to maintain the business while still loving music and working on new and innovative ideas, like a history project that is becoming his newest passion. “Passion is not predicated on how much money you make. Passion is about whether you finish the thought. The completion of the task and making it happen is the truth of passion. Making it happen. You’ve got to learn from where you failed and get up and keep going from here.”

Now, he speaks to entrepreneurs and creatives in his Master Class series and empowers them to dream and keep dreaming, even when they are already working on their gifts. “When people get in their own way, when they build their own wall, I am trying to get people to see the value in (YOU). I am always talking to people about getting out of the way. That is when they start to see the world and the possibilities of everything. I’ve got 24 hours in a day and this is all Plan A!” The music journey is Ralph Rolle’s peace place, a creative thing that he gets to do from the seat of the drummer, on his own. As the CEO of SOUL SNACKS, Ralph gets to bring others forward, including his wife Hiromi and his community. “SOUL SNACKS is about my wife and my manager and my P.A. who believe in the work and we work collectively on the dream! SOUL SNACKS was never done alone and cannot be.”

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 00:15:58 +0000

U.S. Legislator, Mentor

It's the Week of the Selma to Montgomery Marches for Voting Rights that influenced President Lyndon Johnson's decision to Make the 1965 Voter's Right Bill Law . This Happened after the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson. Many others died too for this Right.

We touch on Economics of the Civil Rights Movements & Events. Even Legislation.

I have been Blessing to be a Legislative Aide & Public Relations Consultant. I've worked with & learned from many National Leaders & Icons in the Nation's Capitol & on some local state assignments in America. It was through an assignment on National Civil Rights events I met one of my mentors, the late Honorable Dr. Thad McClammy.

He represented District 76 in the Alabama House of Representatives for nearly 28 years. During that time, Dr. McClammy has brought over 100 million dollars in Economic and Community Development to Montgomery Westside including the Montgomery Area Transit System facilities and the West Side Police Community Relations facility just to name a few.

Most recently, Dr.McClammy helped lessen the burden of constant relocation of our military service members and their spouses. The certificates of military spouses who are licensed in other states.

One of his nationally known accomplishments includes sponsoring of the Rosa Parks Act, Rep. Thad McClammy said the bill could lead to pardons for Parks, civil rights leader the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and hundreds of others convicted of violating laws aimed at keeping the races separate. McClammy said the arrests date back as far as the early 1900s.

"The Rosa Parks Act" was amended in the Senate to allow museums such as The Rosa Parks Library and Museum in Montgomery to continue to display records of the arrests.

Born in Beatrice, Alabama, McClammy received his bachelor's degree in 1966 from Alabama State University and his master's degree from Auburn University. McClammy was in the real estate business.

Episode 2223: Frm Senator Hank Sanders ~ A Fresh Look @ the History & Importance of Farming NOW!

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 12:47:54 +0000

CNN, Attorney, Senator, Mentor

In The Early Twentieth Century, there were nearly a Million Black Farms, In the 2021, there are less that 1.4%, According to McKinsey.com "Achieving peer-level economic performance could generate billions in value for the agriculture industry."

Hank Sanders was one of of the Lead Attorney's in the Pigford vs. Glickman Litigation. He served as one of three lead counsel in the nationally known $1.2 billion Black Farmers Discrimination Litigation.

Gardens being revisited by Millennials, Gen Z & Green Energy Enthusiasts, Gardens are being grown vertically in Kitchens, Gardens, on Roof Tops of Building, Homes & Students being Encouraged/Inspired to grow their own Food for Personal use or b as a Business, this skill is a rare Profession. In the 17th thru Early 20th Century in America, Most all People came from the Family Farms.

Hank speaks about his upbringing & a bit about he importance of the lawsuit to help Black Farmers.

In a 2010 article by Ralph Paige, who was Executive Director of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund at the time, he wrote: “When President Abraham Lincoln created the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1862 he referred to it as the ‘People’s Department.’ The problem is that its services have never been available to ‘all’ the people.” Although, with the Clinton and Obama administrations, efforts had been made to correct discriminatory problems at the USDA. It’s an unfortunate fact, however, that the USDA’s policies and behavior have been marred by rampant discrimination. This is why Black farmers filed a 1997 lawsuit against the USDA that focused on discrimination in the administration of its farm programs in the 1980s and into the 1990s.There were two phases of the lawsuit. One was filed under the Clinton administration and the second phase for late filers was settled under the Obama administration.

The litigation, referred to as Pigford vs. Glickman (now Pigford vs. Vilsack) was named after Tim Pigford, a Black farmer in North Carolina, and the then Secretary of Agriculture, Dan Glickman. Tom Vilsack, in the second phase, was the Secretary of Agriculture under the Obama administration. It was settled in 1999, and more than 15,000 Black farmers obtained relief for the discrimination they experienced at the hands of the USDA. But the settlement itself triggered such an outpouring of pent-up frustration and demands for justice that more than 11 years later the case was still ongoing.

Senator Henry “Hank” Sanders is the second of 13 children born to Ola Mae and Sam Sanders of Baldwin County, Alabama. He challenged the twin obstacles of poverty and racism to: graduate from Douglasville High School, Talladega College, and Harvard Law School; establish a law practice; and serve as the first African American State Senator from the Alabama Black Belt. He is married to Faya Ora Rose Toure, formerly Rose M. Sanders, and they have three children by birth, four by foster relationship, and many by heart.

In 1971, Sanders began what became Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, Pettaway and Campbell, LLC. At one time, it was the largest Black law firm in Alabama and one of the ten largest in the country. His law practice is one of service: helping poor and Black people save their lands, protecting people’s constitutional rights, challenging corporate abuse, and helping build strong governments to serve all people.

As a community person, Sanders has helped found and build many organizations and institutions, including the following: Alabama New South Coalition, where he currently is President Emeritus; 21st Century Youth Leadership Movement; Alabama Lawyers Association; Black Belt Human Resources Center; McRae Learning Center; the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute; the Slavery and Civil War Museum; C.A.R.E. (Coalition of Alabamians Reforming Education); the Selma Collaborative; the Bridge Crossing Jubilee; WBMZ-105.3 FM Radio Station; and more.

In 1983, Sanders was elected to the Alabama Senate, where he champions issues affecting education, children, health care, women, tax reform, constitutional reform and more. For 16 years, he served as Chairman of the Finance and Taxation Education, which handles the multi-billion dollar state education budget.

As part of his accountability, Sanders writes a weekly column entitled Senate Sketches, which is published in various newspapers, on the Internet, and in other publications. He has a self-published book entitled, Take a Walk in My Shoes, which is a compilation of selected Sketches. In 2004, he published his first novel, Death of a Fat Man. He speaks widely, especially to young people. His hobbies are reading, writing, and sports. He considers his most significant contribution to be his work with and for our youth.

Episode 2221: Landau Murphy, Jr. AGT-NBC-TV's Winner, He Conquered Covid-19 & Is Emerging in the NEW Entertainment Scene 2022

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 09:48:04 +0000

Anderson Cooper, AGT Winner, The View, CNN, Fox and Friends, The Wendy Williams Show, The Talk,

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

He's Conquered Covid-19, Got His GED & Has Been Busy with LIVE Concerts & Ceremonies in this Age of Social Distancing in Fall/Winter.

I Talk with Landau about his Thoughts' on His Career, Adapting to the NEW Normal in Entertainment Events. What is He Grateful For.

His is a true rags to riches story; car wash rags. When Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. showed up to audition for America’s Got Talent, he was singing to pass the time while grinding out a living washing cars. The only “nice” clothes he owned were the ones on his back: a pair of jeans, a modest button down striped shirt, and jacket. Fortunately, you don’t need a large wardrobe to win America’s heart.

You need talent, and Landau has truckloads of that. Since wowing the judges with his interpretations of classics by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and walking away with the million dollar grand prize in front of 14 million weekly viewers on AGT, Landau has released his Columbia Records debut “That’s Life” (the CD hit #1 on the Billboard Jazz chart and was produced by Grammy winner Steve Tyrell, who also helmed Rod Stewart’s Great American Songbook album). Landau has performed all over the country, from the California State Fair to New York’s famous Apollo Theatre, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to the Marina Civic Center in Florida and all points in between. Along the way, he has appeared on The Today Show, The View, CNN, Fox and Friends, The Wendy Williams Show, The Talk, Anderson Cooper, Tom Joyner, Sirius XM, NPR, and dozens of other outlets.

Landau was named “West Virginian of the Year” by his home state where he has performed a series of sold out concerts helping raise over a half million dollars for state charities. He’s played a special command performance at the Governors Inauguration, won Reality TV Personality of the Year in Hollywood, and was honored to perform with his band for U.S. Troops in Germany. He is currently on tour with Glenn Leonard,formally of The Temptations; Joe Blunt,formally of The Drifters and Joe Coleman, formally of The Platters. But all that success hasn’t made Landau forget his roots. He was born in the Mountain State of West Virginia and continues to live there rather than move to entertainment industry hubs like Los Angeles or New York. “West Virginia will always be my home,” says Landau, “and home and family are the most important thing in the world to me. I can always fly out to LA or New York for work, but being here helps keep me humble and grounded. I’m just very fortunate to be living my dream.”

Recently, Landau and award winning co-author Rick Robinson have written America’s Got Talent Winner Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.: From Washing Cars to Hollywood Star, a book chronicling Landau’s All-American success story. He’s also completed an album full of holiday favorites, Christmas Made For Two. His touring schedule stays booked with shows all over the country including numerous CD and book signing appearances. He and the incredibly talented “Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. Big Band” are currently beginning his Classic Christmas Crooners Tour with a full slate of concerts at home and abroad. All Rights Reserved

Episode 2207: Robert Ferguson, MS,CN ~ Celebrity Nutritionist & Fitness Specialist

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 02:25:53 +0000

ESPN, HBO, CNN, ABC-TV, E, FOX News, Good Morning America

It takes an Intense Passion & Enthusiasm to achieve Success in your Business, Fitness & Lifestyle Goals. My guest is Entreprener, Celebrity Nutritionist & Fitness Specialist ~ Robert Ferguson, MS, CN. Healthful living and lifestyle changes work," said the author of Conquering the Munchie Monster. "What so many look for is a quick fix; but at the end of the day, they are less than successful because they don't believe they can be successful." Ferguson, who owns the company Diet Free Life, has been helping people achieve weight loss through healthful living since 1998.

A former U.S. Marine, he works with both the general population and celebrities. He also is a physical conditioning and nutrition specialist for professional boxers on Showtime®, HBO®, ESPN® and "The Contender." One of Ferguson's goals is to bridge the gap within the African American community between knowing what is healthful and practicing what it knows. He conducts free live cooking demonstrations and fitness programs, and delivers motivational speeches in urban areas across the country. Ferguson teaches people how to make their favorite recipes more healthful, and he shows his clients how to incorporate good health into their existing lifestyles with diet and fitness plans customized to meet each person's needs. "There is a misconception that healthful living is boring, bland and difficult to maintain. But it really can be enjoyable, fun and easy," he said. "Many people who want to be healthy feel like they have to walk away from their cultural identities," he added. "They have an all-or-nothing mindset: either eat bland and boring -- steamed broccoli and salmon -- or go back to eating fried chicken every day." Friends and family often are the biggest stumbling blocks to living a healthful lifestyle.

"There's an internal battle between being healthy and being accepted," Ferguson said.

"People are always thinking about what they'll lose by upgrading their lifestyle with nutrition and fitness. When people start to eat healthfully, and all their friends and family continue to eat unhealthfully, they feel like they stand out." But Ferguson believes that when healthful efforts are viewed as a lifestyle change rather than as a diet, individuals will become self-reliant and empowered -- and therefore experience long-term success. They also will set positive examples for those closest to them. "I want to open eyes and minds to show that life can be lived and experienced differently without the word DIET," Ferguson said. ~ DietFreeLife.com

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 20:26:55 +0000

From Homeless to Millions, Bestselling Author & Financial Entrepreneur Will Roundtree
has established himself as a staple in the real-estate investment sector. His expertise has garnered him recognition amongst his peers and those in his community, equally. As the Founder and top-grossing Principal at WE Management, Roundtree has helped over 1500 small to medium sized businesses get access to over 300 million dollars in funding during a two year period.

He’s authored two best-selling books about credit and finance : they are:
“Credit Is King (Transforming Your Credit to Royalty)” and
“The Full-Time CEO: The S--t They Don’t Tell You.”

He’ll visit select cities to deliver his message regarding leveraging credit, money and finance. “Cocktails & Credit is about really meeting people where they are,” says Roundtree, “where people can attend, listen and network. That’s when I discuss credit, restructuring your field and building generational wealth.”

Roundtree is touring through Atlanta, Milwaukee (his hometown), Houston and Chicago. He’ll be in each city for at least two days – the first for the Cocktails & Credit meetings, then for private mastermind events the following day.

Also, Roundtree’s podcast series will be aired on the Sister 2 Sister 2.0 platform for four consecutive Mondays, starting on June 7th, 2021.

When asked what he hopes his living legacy will be after helping others understand credit, money and finance, Will offers, “I don’t care what they say about me because I’m solely focused on what they learn. I am concerned about the takeaway. What were they able to get from their time with me? That’s what matters to me. That is really the impact I want to leave.” CocktailsandCredit.com

Episode 2194: Dave Wooley ~ ABC-TV. HULU, Mike Tyson: The Knockout, May 25th & June 1st, Executive Celebrity Concert/Event Producer

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 23 May 2021 19:45:37 +0000

ABC-TV, HULU ~

He's promoted athletes & celebrities: Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, Tony Bennett, BB King, Loretta Lynn, James Brown, Run DMC, Queen Latifah, Snoop Dogg & more.

Born and raised in New York City’s Harlem, educated at Delaware's Wilmington University (where he remains an adjunct business professor) Dave Wooley rose to prominence as the only Black man in the country to be awarded exclusive paid-per-view and closed-circuit television broadcasting rights to the Mike Tyson vs Michael Spinks "Once And For All" mega, fight - the largest fight in history at the time grossing over $70 million dollars. For people in the fields of sports, entertainment and event management, they know that only titans operate at that level. This will be one of many facets covered in the upcoming ABC-TV documentary, “Mike Tyson: The Knockout” (airing as a two-part series on Tuesday, May 25th, 2021 and Tuesday, June 1st, 2021 -both nights at 8 pm EST). The documentary will be available on Hulu the day after each broadcast.

"People had not seen anyone like Mike Tyson. He was charismatic, with his talents. He embodied power and that is what is emblematic of what every man thought it meant to be a man. He was captivating," Wooley said. As to why Tyson, along with Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson, became so iconic in the late 80's, Wooley – “Everybody wanted to be like Mike. You just had to decide which Mike you wanted to be! Mike was from the projects in the Brooklyn NY’s Brownsville area (we called it Blacksville) and he had to fight. He did in the ring what he had to do in the streets--dominate! He had to prove that his high-pitched voice didn't mean he could be tested. He was fearless."

When Wooley wanted to get into the world of boxing event promotion, it wasn't easy. The rights to these events could garner in the tens of millions of dollars and that world was closed to anyone outside of the "Old Boys Club." Young, Black and self-assured, Dave made moves and positioned himself to win. "The process was different by state and sometimes by major city,” Wooley explained. “I wondered if I could buy an entire state, but I was told I had no experience. Concerts and fights were two different things. Concerts happened one at a time but a closed-circuit fight could be at multiple sites at the same time. So I learned how to ‘play the game’, so to speak - I got my letter of credit and soon I had parts of the state of Virginia and later, I had the entire state of Virginia and Delaware." It was that level of access and connection that placed Wooley and Tyson in the same room, for press conferences and special events.

Wooley went on to produce major events and has worked with music legend Dionne Warwick on various projects, including being the co-author of her autobiography. Wooley is the producer and co-director of a new all-star documentary based on the life of Warwick. In the sports world, he conceived and was the sole producer and promoter of the "Clash of The Legends". The historical exclusive pay-per-view event brought NBA Legends, Julius "Dr. J'' Erving and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar together, along with other NBA superstars, together for One on One competitive basketball contests. And in 2020, he was named Talent/Content Advisor for the Biden/Harris Presidential Inaugural Committee.

But Wooley’s greatest creations have been his two amazing daughters--Veda and Davina. Veda is a practicing attorney and Davina received her M.S. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, one of the nation's most respected schools. He raised them while he was raising the bar in the worlds of sports, entertainment and producing events, and he did so as their single custodial parent.

The Story of David Freeman Wooley is one that must be told to generations to come but that is needed for today's entrepreneur. His 35 years of experience have placed him on camera for "Mike Tyson: The Knockout". That along with his steely and stellar determination is partly why he is so noted and noticeable in the documentary. "It is going to be huge!” exclaims Wooley. “On network television, this is going to reach the world. This is a part of the great American Story and everybody loves a happy ending. Watching Mike succeed and make a comeback like he has shown that we can all get knocked down and if we fight hard enough, we can get back up.”

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 18:27:34 +0000

HGTV’, DIY, “Yard Crashers”,“The Dirt On” “Green Me Up”, “Blog Cabin,” is where you have seen Ahmad

Just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't have fresh food from the garden. Greens such as lettuce, arugula and mustard, along with cold-weather crops including kale and Swiss chard can be grown in a cloche or cold frame. Many root crops and brassicas will overwinter for a spring harvest.

At the age of 10, Ahmed Hassan discovered his love of gardening and working outdoors. To many children, mowing lawns, trimming shrubs and stacking wood would be considered mundane chores. Not to Ahmed. With each completed task, he was building confidence and moving closer to his purpose in life, teaching others the importance of combining creativity with hard work. Ahmed’s love of landscaping paved the way to a successful career as one of today’s most sought after Celebrity Landscape professionals and Green Industry Experts

His Unique Personality was seen on The “Crashers” brand and format was born with spin off shows House Crashers, Bath Crashers, Room Crashers and Kitchen Crashers. Ahmed also hosted a couple seasons of a landscape competition show, “Turf War” on DIY Network. Landscape gardening has never before been showcased in a way that was so exciting to watch on television.

Ahmed has co-hosted and consulted for The Nate Berkus Show where he led the residential landscape design for Monica “Warrior Mom” Jorge’s house. He also co-hosted HGTV’s live coverage of the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade. He regularly serves as guest contributor for both CBS Early Show and NBC’s Today Show. He is a guest columnist for several industry publications and HGTV magazine. In 2013 Ahmed began shooting web and promotional videos for various Green Industry companies.

He and his wife Tiffanie own and operate Ahmad Hassan Landscape Services (AHLS) a landscape consulting, design and installation firm. Ahmed has collaborated and worked on several landscape and construction projects throughout the country. Though speaking and doing landscape construction projects on television is what he enjoys most.

The California native has spent most of his life in the Sacramento and greater Bay Area. He attributes his success in life to his many years of sobriety and the support and spiritual philosophy of his blended family. His entrepreneurial parents taught him the value of creating a business with the work you enjoy most.

Ahmed’s rural roots, mixed with inner city upbringing, has given him a unique ability to relate to people from all walks of life. The connective thread through each stage of his life remains Agriculture, Construction, Improvements and Maintenance. “The status quo is boring and complacent. I envision and enjoy making things better and I prefer to do this outdoors”, says Ahmed.

Ahmed began spelling his name with an “e” for phonetic reasons when he became a TV host. His legal name is Ahmad Hasan Hassan, pronounced (Ahh-med).

Ahmed, his wife and 3 children reside in Northern California’s foothills.

The trumpeter Nabaté Isles recently released his debut album, “Eclectic Excursions,” and it lives up to its title. Mr. Isles has worked most often as a side musician for artists across hip-hop, jazz and R&B, and his own record manages to throw it all together — making room along the way for a few guest singers and rappers — while keeping a firm center. Playing with a quintet, Mr. Isles started off with “Minute Pieces of Wozzeck,” a trippy, motivic original composed around a set of 12-tone harmonies from Alban Berg’s experimental opera, “Wozzeck.” As Adam Klipple’s organ and Joshua Crumbly’s bass hit a stopped-up, two-chord pattern, Mr. Isles retorted with a circular phrase. The guitarist David Gilmore ran snaky improvisations around them, leading your ear gently astray until the rhythm section dropped decisively into a thrashing rock beat. Mr. Isles and the soprano saxophonist Ian Young played in wet blasts of harmony, and Mr. Isles drove headlong into a rugged solo. He pushed hard, leaning into the song’s screwball-fusion vibe but maintaining a measured sense of swing. Midway through the set, the rapper Elzhi — a onetime member of Slum Village, and a guest on the album — guested on two songs, and the band switched comfortably to a radiant, festive mode.
Then the vocalist Alita Moses came on to sing “Find Your Light,” a standout from “Eclectic Excursions,” with a strong redolence of Esperanza Spalding’s dreamy neo-soul side. Over a mid-tempo groove, Ms. Moses sang the song’s lyrics of invitation with acrobatic poise, moving deliberately at cloud altitude. Mr. Isles responded with a solo of sharp bursts and grounded rumbles, filling some of the vertical space in the atmosphere below her.

Rick Raddatz ~ Millionaire Business Mogul & Pentanomics- CEO Political Harmony Talks 5 Economies

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 01:09:07 +0000

Microsoft, CEO Founder of Xiosoft & Political Harmony

He spent Twelve years at Microsoft as product designer, developer and marketer. Seventeen years as an entrepreneur.
Twelve years (overlapping) as a political philosopher.
Now beginning his fourth career as a political activist (Founder of PoliticalHarmony.org)

The MISSION: We are working to end the current era of political division and begin a new, more mature political era by promoting a common understanding of the universal laws that govern all aspects of society.

OUR PLAN: Our plan is to do two things: LEARN and SHARE

(1) LEARN:

This movement is all about education. The content in our member's area (available for free) teaches a fundamental truth--that the laws of economics necessarily govern ALL human action, not just private action. And since the laws of economics are perfectly nonpartisan (they are what they are because logic demands it), that gives us a chance to come together right, left and center.

2) SPREAD THE WORD:

If only a few people understand the truth about how to govern society, nothing will change. And so the second part of our plan is to spread the word. Getting started will be the most difficult. But once we gain momentum, it will become easier and easier. At some point, we will reach a tipping point. That's when the world will change for the better.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: You can help by sharing, joining, donating, and volunteering.

On Sunday will be the annual March Across the Edmund Pettis Bridge.

The music for this episode is from: "Sing for Freedom The Songs of the Civil Rights Movement Through it's Songs" by Robert Parris Moses

Have far have we come from those times of the Segregated South? My guest this week talks about this & MORE......

FYI: Activist Jimmie Lee Jackson murder on February 26th 1965 sparked the March across the Edmund Pettis Bridge.

There were THREE Marches across The Bridge BECAUSE the First on March on March 7, 1965, resulted in Violence against the Marchers; The Second March on Tuesday, March 9, 1965. Martin Luther King led the March & prayed at the beginning of the Bridge. The last March was held March 17 with permits & saftey, The Marchers crossed the Bridge.

Senator Henry “Hank” Sanders is the second of 13 children born to Ola Mae and Sam Sanders of Baldwin County, Alabama. He challenged the twin obstacles of poverty and racism to: graduate from Douglasville High School, Talladega College, and Harvard Law School; establish a law practice; and serve as the first African American State Senator from the Alabama Black Belt. He is married to Faya Ora Rose Touré, formerly Rose M. Sanders, and they have three children by birth, four by foster relationship, and many by heart.

In 1971, Sanders began what became Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, Pettaway and Campbell, LLC. At one time, it was the largest Black law firm in Alabama and one of the ten largest in the country. His law practice is one of service: helping poor and Black people save their lands, protecting people’s constitutional rights, challenging corporate abuse, and helping build strong governments to serve all people. He served as one of three lead counsel in the nationally known $1.2 billion Black Farmers Discrimination Litigation.

As a community person, Sanders has helped found and build many organizations and institutions, including the following: Alabama New South Coalition, where he currently is President Emeritus; 21st Century Youth Leadership Movement; Alabama Lawyers Association; Black Belt Human Resources Center; McRae Learning Center; the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute; the Slavery and Civil War Museum; C.A.R.E. (Coalition of Alabamians Reforming Education); the Selma Collaborative; the Bridge Crossing Jubilee; WBMZ-105.3 FM Radio Station; and more.

In 1983, Sanders was elected to the Alabama Senate, where he champions issues affecting education, children, health care, women, tax reform, constitutional reform and more. For 16 years, he served as Chairman of the Finance and Taxation Education, which handles the multi-billion dollar state education budget.

As part of his accountability, Sanders writes a weekly column entitled Senate Sketches, which is published in various newspapers, on the Internet, and in other publications. He has a self-published book entitled, Take a Walk in My Shoes, which is a compilation of selected Sketches. In 2004, he published his first novel, Death of a Fat Man. He speaks widely, especially to young people. His hobbies are reading, writing, and sports. He considers his most significant contribution to be his work with and for our youth.

Hank's Wife: Faya Rose Toure

Faya Ora Rose Touré is a Harvard-educated Civil Rights activist and litigation attorney who has worked on some of the highest-profile civil rights cases to come before the courts. Touré—who spent most of her career as Rose Sanders until she decided to step away from her "slave name" in 2003—was the first African-American female judge in Alabama and was part of the winning legal team in Pigford vs. Veneman, the largest civil rights case in history. This case led to the payment of a billion dollars in damages to black farmers by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In addition, Touré is a founder of the National Voting Rights Museum, McRae Learning Center, Ancient Africa, Slavery and Civil War Museum, the Bridge Crossing Jubilee, 21st Century Youth Leadership Movement, Black Belt Arts and Cultural Center and Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, Law Firm, LLC. Intensely passionate about her activism and legal work and the needs of the black community, Touré has founded learning and cultural centers, political and legal organizations, and community initiatives that have benefited Alabamians for four decades. She uses her many talents to further her message and is a prolific songwriter and playwright, as well as the host of a weekly radio show, Faya's Fire.

Touré was born Rose M. Gaines on May 20, 1945, in Salisbury, North Carolina. Her parents, the Rev. D. A. Gaines and Ora Lee Gaines, taught their six children to conserve so they would have something in life to give back to their community. Touré's community work began at an early age when she organized kids in the neighborhood. After graduation from George Clem High School in 1962 she entered Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1966. Still unsure where her career path would take her, she completed a law degree at Harvard in 1969 and was awarded the Herbert Smith Fellowship. That led to an assignment the following year at the National Welfare Rights Organization and the Columbia Center on Social Welfare Policy and Law. In 1971 she worked briefly for the Legal Services Corporation, and opened the law firm of Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, Pettaway & Campbell, LLC the following year along with her husband, Alabama State Senator Henry Sanders. In 1973 Touré became the first African-American female judge in Alabama, serving as municipal judge until 1977. In 1982 Touré was hired by the Emergency Land Fund for the Department of the Agriculture to conduct a study of black land tenure and document land loss by African Americans.

Touré, the mother of three children and four foster children, has dedicated her life to helping children. She was a leader in the Selma Movement to end racial tracking, co-founding Coalition of Alabamians Reforming Education. C.A.R.E. detracked a rural school in Sumter County, which resulted in test scores in Math and Science rising from the 27th percentile to the 74th percentile in a year and a half. She has also written over 40 musicals that address issues like tracking, teenage pregnancy, AIDS, drug abuse, etc. Her latest production is called Selma the Musical.

Landau Eugene Murphy ~ NBC-TV's America's Got Talent Winner

Sabrina-Marie — Sun, 24 Nov 2019 09:15:53 +0000

Anderson Cooper, AGT Winner Season 6, The View, CNN, Fox and Friends, The Wendy Williams Show, The Talk,

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

His is a true rags to riches story; car wash rags.

When Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. showed up to audition for America’s Got Talent, he was singing to pass the time while grinding out a living washing cars. The only “nice” clothes he owned were the ones on his back: a pair of jeans, a modest button down striped shirt, and jacket.

Fortunately, you don’t need a large wardrobe to win America’s heart. You need talent, and Landau has truckloads of that. Since wowing the judges with his interpretations of classics by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and walking away with the million dollar grand prize in front of 14 million weekly viewers on AGT, Landau has released his Columbia Records debut “That’s Life” (the CD hit #1 on the Billboard Jazz chart and was produced by Grammy winner Steve Tyrell, who also helmed Rod Stewart’s Great American Songbook album). Landau has performed all over the country, from the California State Fair to New York’s famous Apollo Theatre, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to the Marina Civic Center in Florida and all points in between.

Along the way, he has appeared on The Today Show, The View, CNN, Fox and Friends, The Wendy Williams Show, The Talk, Anderson Cooper, Tom Joyner, Sirius XM, NPR, and dozens of other outlets. Landau was named “West Virginian of the Year” by his home state where he has performed a series of sold out concerts helping raise over a half million dollars for state charities. He’s played a special command performance at the Governors Inauguration, won Reality TV Personality of the Year in Hollywood, and was honored to perform with his band for U.S. Troops in Germany. He is currently on tour with Glenn Leonard,formally of The Temptations; Joe Blunt,formally of The Drifters and Joe Coleman, formally of The Platters.

But all that success hasn’t made Landau forget his roots. He was born in the Mountain State of West Virginia and continues to live there rather than move to entertainment industry hubs like Los Angeles or New York. “West Virginia will always be my home,” says Landau, “and home and family are the most important thing in the world to me. I can always fly out to LA or New York for work, but being here helps keep me humble and grounded. I’m just very fortunate to be living my dream.”

Recently, Landau and award winning co-author Rick Robinson have written America’s Got Talent Winner Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.: From Washing Cars to Hollywood Star, a book chronicling Landau’s All-American success story. He’s also completed an album full of holiday favorites, Christmas Made For Two. His touring schedule stays booked with shows all over the country including numerous CD and book signing appearances. He and the incredibly talented “Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. Big Band” are currently beginning his Classic Christmas Crooners Tour with a full slate of concerts at home and abroad.

Rick Raddatz ~Pentanomics

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 19:37:35 +0000

What a COLORFUL Election Season!!! I am all for the betterment of ALL great people that make up America. But for any positive change to happen, we must all be in this goal together. Prayerfully we will work together to continue to make our future years amazing.

My Guest this week has a solution on how this can happen.

Rick Raddatz is Founder & CEO of the Pentanomics Institute. This is a new concept that includes 5 political points of view on how to move our interests & country forward.

As part of his job, he consulted with CIOs at over 100 Fortune 500 companies.

I talk with this millionaire businessman about his view on our economy, the 99% who are making a very strong point, taxes for corporate business's, Wall Street, jobs sent over seas, hard working employees & the risk taking entrepreneur. It is the small business, the entrepreneur that helped built America's economy in the 20the century. Should there be a cap in spending or increase? It depends on who you ask! But no matter what your belief, this makes for intriguing conversation!

Maya Penn ~ Creating Eco-Friendly Style & Global Sustainability

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 26 Nov 2015 14:25:28 +0000

Forbes, Ebony, Etsy 'The Steve Harvey Show' I love learning from Entrepreneur's. Three of my favorite themes are - Entrepreneurship, Eco-Friendly Style & Global Sustainability! According to my guest this week: " Many people have great ideas that can help the planet. It does not matter what age you are or how silly or crazy an idea, if you believe in it - GO FOT IT!!" Here is what she has to say........

I am Maya Shea Penn. I’m a 16 year old entrepreneur, philanthropist, designer, artist, animator (I make animated short films), illustrator, and writer. I am the CEO of Maya's Ideas, a company I started in 2008 when I was just 8 years old. I create handmade artisan crafted one-of-a-kind eco-friendly accessories and clothing.

I also have a non-profit organization called Maya's Ideas 4 The Planet. I use 100% organic cotton, hemp, and bamboo, as well as recycled vintage materials in creating my clothing and accessories. Please check back daily as I am adding new designs. I love nature and the environment, and I use this as constant inspiration. All items are one of a kind, artisan handcrafted from the finest materials. 10-20% of the profits I make go to local and global charities and organizations I am passionate about. ----- I am an environmentalist first, which for me means that I am doing everything that I can to make the planet livable for BOTH people and animals alike. No person or creature can live on a planet that is polluted and full of toxins and waste. I support recycling and reusing materials that will not put an additional strain on our environment by stripping the earth of it's natural resources. I do not use new leather or new wool in my designs. If I come across a piece of 1940's vintage wool fabric, I may use it and turn it into a new creation, but I would never buy a piece of new wool that has been cruelly sheared off a sheep. The same with silk. I always use old, vintage fabrics or organic and natural cottons. I see our planet and our animals as one in the same. They need to be protected from harm, treated humanely and respected.~❤

I have been featured in Forbes, Huffington Post, The Steve Harvey Show, Ebony, Young Entrepreneur, Redbook, FOX 5 Atlanta, Black Enterprise, Etsy,The NRDC, The Michael Baisden Show, CBS Better Mornings Atlanta, and many other publications. I've also been honored as Teenpreneur by Black Enterprise. I love to use my creativity to give back to the community, and the environment and it's creatures. 10-20% of my profits go to local and global charities and environmental organizations. ~ MayasIdeas.com

Landau Eugene Murphy ~ His Building Blocks to Success

Sabrina-Marie — Fri, 15 May 2015 22:33:51 +0000

LIVE from the Resort at Glade Springs, I talk with Landau Murphy Jr. Winner from NBC-TV's America's Got Talent

We Talk Building Blocks & Life Lessons He Learned on the Way to Success & How He is Still a Work n Progress. Landau has a Positive Spirit!

Over 100 sold out concerts across three continents, from Caesars Palace to the Apollo Theater and all points in between. A debut CD from a Grammy winning producer that hit the top of the Billboard charts. More than a million dollars raised for children’s and homeless charities via his holiday CD and personal appearances. Performing duets with childhood heroes Patti Labelle and Glenn Leonard, the former tenor vocalist from The Temptations. An international television audience of over 100 million touched by his amazing life story. And it all started in a very small town with a man who possessed a big dream and an even bigger voice.

When Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. showed up to audition for NBC TV’s America’s Got Talent in 2010, he was singing to pass the time while grinding out a living washing cars in his hometown of Logan, WV (population 3,000) and the only “nice” clothes he owned were the ones on his back: a pair of jeans, a modest button down striped shirt and jacket.

Fortunately, you don’t need a slick wardrobe to win America’s heart. You need talent and personality, and Landau has a great deal of both. Wowing the judges with his back story of homelessness and determination to succeed for his family, coupled with interpretations of classics from Cole Porter, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and others, Landau walked away with the million dollar grand prize in front of 14 million weekly viewers. According to show insiders, when all was said and done, Landau had won America’s Got Talent by the biggest vote total in the show’s history.

In November 2011, Landau released his Columbia Records debut album “That’s Life.” The CD hit #1 on the Billboard Jazz chart in time for Christmas and was produced by Grammy winner Steve Tyrell, who also helmed Rod Stewart’s Great American Songbook album. Landau soon hit the road for his first ever tour, backed by an 18-piece big band, selling out performing arts centers, casinos, and theaters all over America. It was a dream come true for the always humble, gracious vocalist, who insisted that he come out after every show to meet his fans for photos and conversation. “Without them, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be anywhere.”

For many winners of television talent competitions, the ride is short, but for Landau, four years after winning America’s Got Talent, things couldn’t be busier. A book co-authored with award-winning writer Rick Robinson chronicling Landau’s All-American success story titled “Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.: From Washing Cars to Hollywood Star” debuted at #1 on the Amazon.com Jazz Book chart, where it remained for several weeks during the 2013 holiday season, and was purchased by many as a companion piece to Landau’s second album “Christmas Made For Two.”

Frank Mc Kinney ~ Daredevil Real Estate "artist", philanthro'capital'ist,

Sabrina-Marie — Sat, 28 Mar 2015 18:40:43 +0000

Oprah, CNN, HGTV, The Wall Street ~

Daredevil Real Estate "artist" 5-time international bestselling author (with 3 new books just released!), super hero meets Robin Hood, philanthro'capital'ist, risk-taker and visionary who sees opportunities and creates markets where none existed before. Upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), Frank earned his high school diploma with a less-than-stellar 1.8 GPA Then, at 18, with $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, Frank left his native Indiana for Florida in search of what he would later refer to as his professional highest calling. In his first Florida job he earned $180 a week, waking at 4:00am, to dig sand traps by hand on a Deerfield Beach golf course. On May 19, 1986, at 22, Frank McKinney founded his real estate investment company and bought his first $50,000 fixer-upper, selling it a few months later for a $7,000 profit. Now, nearly 25 years later, McKinney creates real estate markets where others dare to tread. He has built spec homes (homes built without a buyer) valued in the tens of millions of dollars. A true maverick with a charming flair, he is without peer in the risky world of speculative high-end real estate, shattering price records with each new project.

Mr. McKinney just designed & sold "Acqua Liana," the world's largest and most opulent triple certified (USGBC, FGBC & Energy Star) "green" mansion at $24,300,000, and another masterpiece, "Crystalina," a $30 million green home reflecting South Pacific influences. Each of the estate homes he creates is a one-of-a-kind work of art, infused with vivid imagination and designed on a canvas of sun-drenched Atlantic ocean.

Due to the overwhelming success of Mr. McKinney's first book, his first publisher, John Wiley & Sons, NY, contracted with him to author his second bestseller in 2006: "Frank McKinney's Maverick Approach To Real Estate Success-How You Can Go from a $50,000 Fixer-Upper to a $100 Million Mansion!" Frank McKinney is also a sought after speaker, is an ultra-marathon runner (footraces of 100+ miles) and an accomplished demolition derby driver.

For over 12 years, His Caring House Project Foundation reachers out to promote self-sufficiency to the underserved regions of the world. The Frank McKinney brand has captivated the media and public for a quarter century. His vision and risk-taking has been the subject of numerous international television, radio and print features. Frank was recently featured on ABC's 20/20 with Martin Bashir, the cover of USA Today,Oprah Winfrey, CBS' The Early Show, CNN, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, HGTV, CBN TV, National Public Radio (NPR), in The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Bloomberg, Fortune, Barrons, Town and Country, Robb Report, The Nightly Business Report (PBS) and in over 1,500 additional TV and print stories.

NBC-TV's 'The Doctors', Tom Joyner Morning Show, PBS

It's an Earth Celebration here at BAS! Hope everyone enjoys Earth Week Worldwide Festivities.

My guests is Entrepreneur & Raw Living Model Annette Larkins. She has been featured on NBC- TV 's 'The Doctors', PBS & heard on the Tom Joyner Morning Show. She maintain's her Hydroponic Garden Inside her home & and Garden outside. Annette is also a great raw gourmet chef. She receives letters and request from all over the world on her teachings about health & youthful benefits of a raw lifestyle.

Annette saw first hand being raised on "Soul Food" as a kid & seeing her family & friends experiences with cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes & dying young. She learned as a young lady that she better follow a different path. Now over 50 years later, her husband who is nine years her senior wishes he'd followed her advise, he has diabetes & high blood pressure. Annette is often mistaken for his daughter!

In her early career, she manufactured a salad dressing; The Little Chef’s dressing was a popular item in health food stores, and customers were disappointed when it was no longer available. One day while shopping in one of the stores where the dressing had been sold, Annette encountered a lady who asked, “You’re The Little Chef aren’t you?” “Yes, well, I was.” replied Annette. “They told me that you stopped making the dressing, and I am, now, looking for something comparable to it. My son says that if he can’t have The Little Chef’s, then he just won’t eat salads.” “What a commercial!” thought Annette; however, she would not be swayed by such remarks. The reason she had produced the dressing in the first place was because people said she should market it; so she did, but she lacked the passion to see it though to its greatest potential.

Annette’s desire to help others achieve a healthier lifestyle is manifested through the production of her DVD Annette’s Raw Kitchen and her booklets Journey To Health and Journey To health 2. Having investigated assorted career opportunities, she now recognizes that the health field is where she belongs, and she plans to serve in that arena for as long as possible! ~ AnnetteLarkins.com

Alan Hunter ~ The Unplugged Adventures of MTV's 1st VJ & Innovative Entrepreneur

Sabrina-Marie — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:08:02 +0000

MTV VJ Icon, SiriusXM 80's on 8

I Want My MTV..................

This week I Blast off into a Rock and Roll 1st Wave Flashback with the very 1st VJ to appear on screen @ MTV: Alan Hunter! And you can get a glimpse into the groundbreaking history, original VJ's, music artists, celebrities, location gigs & fun in the new book: “VJ: The Unplugged Adventures of MTV’s First Wave”

Alan Hunter was one of the original five video jockeys (VJ's) on MTV from 1981 to 1987 (along with Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Martha Quinn, and J. J. Jackson)

During his senior year in college he got his first television acting job in the ABC MOW Love’s Savage Fury, starring Raymond Burr, Jennifer O’Neill and Michael Paré. Afterwards, he held a series of cliché struggling actor gigs: bartender, waiter, phone answering service attendant and a handful of Off Off Broadway roles, He earned a role in the music video for David Bowie's "Fashion" and a role as usher in the film musical Annie, before being tapped to join the fledgling MTV network. August 1, 1981 at midnight in selected markets. Hunter was, by accident, the first VJ to appear on screen, with the words "And I'm Alan Hunter. Let's get to it". During his first month with MTV, he kept his regular job tending bar at New York's Magic Pan. When a customer recognized him, he left bartending and became a full-time VJ, attending concerts and parties until the wee hours and then coming back to the studio at 8:00 AM for a full day of taping interviews, promos and features.

As MTV became the center of the entertainment universe, Hunter’s celebrity interviews included the first MTV interviews with Madonna, Duran Duran and U2, and also included Ozzy Osbourne, Aretha Franklin, Frank and Moon Unit Zappa, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Loverboy, Kasim Sultan, Crosby Stills & Nash, Kevin Bacon, Robin Williams, Dan Aykroyd, Eurythmics, Kenny Loggins, the Psychedelic Furs, Bob & Doug McKenzie, Lou Reed, Joey Ramone, Andy Warhol, the Cars, the GoGos, the Bangles, Colin Hay and Men at Work, Boy George, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, John Mellencamp, Hugh Hefner, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Rod Stewart, Cheap Trick, Billy Idol, Thomas Dolby, Joe Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Crowded House, Michael McDonald, Rick Springfield, Peter Wolf, Toto, Level 42, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Chevy Chase and Pee-Wee Herman among others.

In his latter MTV years, Hunter became known for his remotes and road trips in such iconic and pioneering MTV programming like “MTV Spring Break”, “MTV’s Amuck in America” and “MTV’s Hedonism Weekend with Bon Jovi in Jamaica”.

Hunter distinguished himself by pushing for more remotes and road trips rather than in-studio interviews. He stayed with the network for seven years before relocating to Los Angeles, where he starred in numerous Fox pilots, precursors of today's reality programming. In the mid-90s, he moved back to his hometown to start a film company with his brother called Hunter Films, and, to create WorkPlay.

You can catch Alan on SiriusXM's 80's on 8!

Sabrina-Marie — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 07:29:33 +0000

World Renown Neurosurgeon~ author of "Life Beyond 100 Secrets of the Fountain of Youth".

Because of the storm & tornado weather in the region at the time of this interview, you can hear crackling. Still this interview is great!

I have great respect for America & World physicians, nurses, emergency medical personnel & medical institutions. Everyday they are saving lives of millions with life threatening, serious, long-term conditions & injuries. They perform major miracles that are inspiring!

Recently I read "Life Beyond 100 Secrets of the Fountain of Youth" by Dr. C. Norm Shealy. Current media reports that the fastest growing population are 100 years of age & older! This information got me thinking about the future of the business owners & their quality of longevity. Health is Wealth & staying in top shape is vital not only for all business owners & everyone.

It is important to consult with your personal physician about your medical, diet, exercise & other health needs. But what natural things can we all do to help increase our quality of life?

I talked to Dr. Shealy about his medical insights of over 40 years!

Dr. C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D, is one of the world's leading experts in pain management. He was among the first physicians ever to specialize in the resolution of chronic pain. A pioneer in developing safe and effective treatments such as Biogenics, he founded, in 1971, the first comprehensive pain and stress management facility in the country, The Shealy Institute, respected world-wide for its innovative and successful rehabilitation approaches. Over the years, Dr. Shealy's intensive pain and stress management research has resulted in numerous pioneering treatments. His published works total over 275. His seminars and workshops are given worldwide, and attended by physicians and lay persons alike. He has acted as consultant to leaders in every specialty, including the personal physicians of President's Kennedy and Eisenhower.

C. Norman Shealy entered Duke University at age 16 and Duke Medical School at 19. He was elected to both Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha honor societies and became the permanent class officer of his graduating medical school class. He interned in Internal Medicine at Duke and then had a year of General Surgery at Banes Hospital, followed by a five year residency in Neurosurgery at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital. He is Board Certified in Neurological Surgery. In 1961 he spent 9 months working with Sir John Eccles, Nobel Laureate, at the Australian National University. In 1977 he earned a Ph.D. in Psychology from Saybrook Institute, the leading Humanistic Psychology school. And he received a Doctor of Science degree from Ryodoraku Institute.

He then spent 3½ years at Western Reserve Medical School, where his research led to both Dorsal Column Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS™), both now used worldwide to help control pain. In 1966 he became Chief of Neurosciences at Gundersen Clinic, one of the 10 largest clinics in the U.S. In 1971 he founded the first comprehensive pain and stress management clinic in the world. The Shealy Institute was recognized for several years as the most successful and most cost effective pain clinic in the U.S. Over a 30 year period his clinic treated over 30,000 chronically ill patients with a remarkable 85% success rate.

His other contributions include:

Cranial Electrical Stimulation for control of depression

Founder and first President of American Holistic Medical Association

Founded the Ambrose and Olga Worrall Institute for Spiritual Healing

Founded Holos Institutes of Health, Inc., a 502-C-3 organization for research and education

Developed an advanced computerized traction table for treatment of headache and back pain

Demonstrated that transdermal application of magnesium is much more effective than oral supplementation

Developed the SheLi TENS™, accepted by the FDA for treatment of pain

He has appeared on numerous national TV programs, including Oprah, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Tomorrow Show, The Joan Rivers program, Geraldo,the Wisdom Channel, and scores of regional and local television and radio programs. He has had for 20 years the most popular call-in radio show in the Ozarks on KWTO, 560 AM. He publishes a free weekly e-newsletter.

Since 1971 he has lectured worldwide at hundreds of medical schools, universities, hospitals and churches, with up to 100 appearances each year. NormShealy.com, HolosInstitute.org

C. Norm Shealy, M.D., Ph.D ~ World Renowned Neurosurgeon ~ Life Quality & The Entrepreneur, Pt. 1, normshealy.com

Sabrina-Marie — Tue, 31 May 2011 07:59:46 +0000

World Renown Neurosurgeon~ author of "Life Beyond 100 Secrets of the Fountain of Youth".

I have great respect for America & World physicians, nurses, emergency medical personnel & medical institutions. Everyday they are saving lives of millions with life threatening, serious, long-term conditions & injuries. They perform major miracles that are inspiring!

Recently I read "Life Beyond 100 Secrets of the Fountain of Youth" by Dr. C. Norm Shealy. Current media reports that the fastest growing population are 100 years of age & older! This information got me thinking about the future of the business owners & their quality of longevity. Health is Wealth & staying in top shape is vital not only for all business owners & everyone.

It is important to consult with your personal physician about your medical, diet, exercise & other health needs. But what natural things can we all do to help increase our quality of life?

I talked to Dr. Shealy about his medical insights of over 40 years!

Dr. C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D, is one of the world's leading experts in pain management. He was among the first physicians ever to specialize in the resolution of chronic pain. A pioneer in developing safe and effective treatments such as Biogenics, he founded, in 1971, the first comprehensive pain and stress management facility in the country, The Shealy Institute, respected world-wide for its innovative and successful rehabilitation approaches. Over the years, Dr. Shealy's intensive pain and stress management research has resulted in numerous pioneering treatments. His published works total over 275. His seminars and workshops are given worldwide, and attended by physicians and lay persons alike. He has acted as consultant to leaders in every specialty, including the personal physicians of President's Kennedy and Eisenhower.

C. Norman Shealy entered Duke University at age 16 and Duke Medical School at 19. He was elected to both Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha honor societies and became the permanent class officer of his graduating medical school class. He interned in Internal Medicine at Duke and then had a year of General Surgery at Banes Hospital, followed by a five year residency in Neurosurgery at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital. He is Board Certified in Neurological Surgery. In 1961 he spent 9 months working with Sir John Eccles, Nobel Laureate, at the Australian National University. In 1977 he earned a Ph.D. in Psychology from Saybrook Institute, the leading Humanistic Psychology school. And he received a Doctor of Science degree from Ryodoraku Institute.

He then spent 3½ years at Western Reserve Medical School, where his research led to both Dorsal Column Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS™), both now used worldwide to help control pain. In 1966 he became Chief of Neurosciences at Gundersen Clinic, one of the 10 largest clinics in the U.S. In 1971 he founded the first comprehensive pain and stress management clinic in the world. The Shealy Institute was recognized for several years as the most successful and most cost effective pain clinic in the U.S. Over a 30 year period his clinic treated over 30,000 chronically ill patients with a remarkable 85% success rate.

His other contributions include:

Winner of first Harold G. Wolff award for excellence in pain research

Biogenics®, a ''software'' system for biofeedback training and self-regulation

Facet rhizotomy, a safe technique for management of back pain

Medical Intuition as a diagnostic tool

Trained several notable Medical Intuitives, including Caroline M. Myss

Cranial Electrical Stimulation for control of depression

Founder and first President of American Holistic Medical Association

Frank McKinney ~ Renowned Real Estate Artist , Best Selling Author -Frank-McKinney.com

Sabrina-Marie — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 23:01:01 +0000

Daredevil Real Estate "artist" 5-time international bestselling author (with 3 new books just released!), super hero meets Robin Hood, philanthro'capital'ist, risk-taker and visionary who sees opportunities and creates markets where none existed before. Upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), Frank earned his high school diploma with a less-than-stellar 1.8 GPA Then, at 18, with $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, Frank left his native Indiana for Florida in search of what he would later refer to as his professional highest calling. In his first Florida job he earned $180 a week, waking at 4:00am, to dig sand traps by hand on a Deerfield Beach golf course. On May 19, 1986, at 22, Frank McKinney founded his real estate investment company and bought his first $50,000 fixer-upper, selling it a few months later for a $7,000 profit. Now, nearly 25 years later, McKinney creates real estate markets where others dare to tread. He has built spec homes (homes built without a buyer) valued in the tens of millions of dollars. A true maverick with a charming flair, he is without peer in the risky world of speculative high-end real estate, shattering price records with each new project. And his latest? Mr. McKinney just completed "Acqua Liana," the world's largest and most opulent triple certified (USGBC, FGBC & Energy Star) "green" mansion at $24,300,000, and will soon commence another masterpiece, "Crystalina," a $30 million green home reflecting South Pacific influences. Each of the estate homes he creates is a one-of-a-kind work of art, infused with vivid imagination and designed on a canvas of sun-drenched Atlantic ocean. Due to the overwhelming success of Mr. McKinney's first book, his first publisher, John Wiley & Sons, NY, contracted with him to author his second bestseller in 2006: "Frank McKinney's Maverick Approach To Real Estate Success-How You Can Go from a $50,000 Fixer-Upper to a $100 Million Mansion!" Frank McKinney is also a sought after speaker, is an ultra-marathon runner (footraces of 100+ miles) and an accomplished demolition derby driver. For over 12 years, His Caring House Project Foundation reachers out to promote self-sufficiency to the underserved regions of the world. The Frank McKinney brand has captivated the media and public for a quarter century. His vision and risk-taking has been the subject of numerous international television, radio and print features. Frank was recently featured on ABC's 20/20 with Martin Bashir, the cover of USA Today, the Oprah Winfrey Show, CBS' The Early Show, CNN, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, HGTV, CBN TV, National Public Radio (NPR), in The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Bloomberg, Fortune, Barrons, Town and Country, Robb Report, The Nightly Business Report (PBS) and in over 1,500 additional TV and print stories.

On May 19, 1986, at 22, Frank McKinney founded his real estate investment company and bought his first $50,000 fixer-upper, selling it a few months later for a $7,000 profit. Now, nearly 25 years later, McKinney creates real estate markets where others dare to tread. He has built spec homes (homes built without a buyer) valued in the tens of millions of dollars. A true maverick with a charming flair, he is without peer in the risky world of speculative high-end real estate, shattering price records with each new project. And his latest? Mr. McKinney just completed "Acqua Liana," the world's largest and most opulent triple certified (USGBC, FGBC & Energy Star) "green" mansion at $24,300,000, and will soon commence another masterpiece, "Crystalina," a $30 million green home reflecting South Pacific influences. Each of the estate homes he creates is a one-of-a-kind work of art, infused with vivid imagination and designed on a canvas of sun-drenched Atlantic ocean.

Due to the overwhelming success of Mr. McKinney's first book, his first publisher, John Wiley & Sons, NY, contracted with him to author his second bestseller in 2006: "Frank McKinney's Maverick Approach To Real Estate Success-How You Can Go from a $50,000 Fixer-Upper to a $100 Million Mansion!" Frank McKinney is also a sought after speaker, is an ultra-marathon runner (footraces of 100+ miles) and an accomplished demolition derby driver. For over 12 years, His Caring House Project Foundation reachers out to promote self-sufficiency to the underserved regions of the world.

The Frank McKinney brand has captivated the media and public for a quarter century. His vision and risk-taking has been the subject of numerous international television, radio and print features. Frank was recently featured on ABC's 20/20 with Martin Bashir, the cover of USA Today, the Oprah Winfrey Show, CBS' The Early Show, CNN, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, HGTV, CBN TV, National Public Radio (NPR), in The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Bloomberg, Fortune, Barrons, Town and Country, Robb Report, The Nightly Business Report (PBS) and in over 1,500 additional TV and print stories.

“If you don’t take care of your body, the most magnificent machine you’ll ever be given, where will you live?” ~ Karyn Calabrese

Karyn Calabrese is a successful entrepreneur and highly sought after holistic health expert who runs a thriving vegan wellness company in Chicago. At 63 years old, Karyn looks nearly a generation younger without the help of surgery or botox and enjoys boundless energy and enthusiasm. The Karyn’s brand including her restaurants, Inner Beauty Center, Supplements and skincare/makeup line has endured major success and continues to thrive. She has been featured several times on Oprah & The Today Show.

In 1995, Karyn opened Karyn’s Fresh Corner, only the second raw foods restaurant in the country where she taught classes and saw clients. She also opened a nearby holistic spa, Karyn’s Inner Beauty Center, because she believes eating healthy foods is just as important as cleansing the body of toxicity from negative foods, environmental and chemical pollution. Karyn developed a line of high quality food, products, supplements and a skincare/makeup line that is available in the store and for shipping around the world.

In 2005, Karyn opened a new restaurant, Karyn’s Cooked, for people looking for a bridge from a standard American diet to the more hard-core approach of raw foods. Karyn’s Cooked has an all vegan menu with a large selection of ‘conscious comfort foods’ including chili, ribs and bread pudding as well as a full bar. Due to the popularity of Karyn’s Cooked, Karyn opened her newest restaurant, Karyn’s on Green in January of 2010. Karyn’s on Green is a more upscale approach to vegan dining with reinterpreted versions of classic American cuisine and cocktails.
