Hey yall......sorry for not being consistent lately but I am closing another phase of my LIFE out and with that I have to hit and run as I can. I am going to leave yall with over 3 hours of 1 of the very BEST to ever pick up any instruments and his name is Roy Ayers . I wonder if he still lives in Brooklyn!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77hHIO9uHg4 Best of Stephanie Mills Who remembers Stephanie and why didnt she continue with her GREAT CAREER as a singer? I think that she saw the BULLSHIT and pulled back because the RUMOR goes that she was once Michael Jacksons gal during the Wiz. Anyhoo, as she is still the BOMB , check how she absolutely ROCKED this recent show! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0NxbKpZ9sY This is what PROFESSIONALISM is supposed to be about and as WE had a generation of WACK MUSIC, look for the great stuff to reappear!  Every young girl  sang a  SM song on the apollo in the 80s and 90s! Enjoy some Stephanie Mills yall!...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwHuEDCM7xs Runnin by the Pharcyde What can I say about these dudes from Killa Kali who just impressed US when WE first heard She keeps on Passing Me by. These dudes are REAL ARTISTS & the only time I saw em perform LIVE was for free. They absolutely ROCKED the SPOT! As WE are making this about the MUSIC, go in,  REMINISCE and ENJOY!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeCWmZVLLG4  Phyllis Hyman Greatest Hits Our EMPRESS who went out totally too early but who left US with a catalog of HITS that could never be denied! This chick maintained thru most of her career that her boss aka the devil or better known as clive davis was a pedophile. I must address this real quick now bcuz most of US know that in order to get up in there, ya gotta do SOMETHING so that they TRUST you so that you can SERVE them and if ya get outta line.........they could show pics with yo ASS up in the AIR!!!!!!!!!! At this point, there is no need to name ...
