RIP, Mama Mosie Burks

This is the music that saw us through those "Jim Crow" years.

Gospel music, with its double entendres, and our HBCUs helped us get through Jim Crow laws. I wonder what will get us (them) through Project 2025 laws.

“Work re-imagines the familiar image of people commuting to work as a moving portrait.

This video is the result of the hard work and collaboration of many intelligent, strong and compassionate women, genderqueer and trans folks close to Charlotte, myself and our crew, who invited their friends, family and complete strangers to come together in support of one another with love, warmth and hope." - Fantavious Fritz, Director

When I Wanted You -- Barry Manilow

Tho' we're going our separate ways
There can only be brighter days
'Cause I didn't mean that much to you
Work it out, don't lose the fight
You can make it turn out right
'Cause you've got the heart to be secure

When I wanted you I needed you
And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I've got to turn my back on you

After all that we've been through
Leavin' you is so hard to do
But when I close my eyes I don't feel the pain
What was wrong and who was right
In the end you see the light
'Cause you think a lot when you're on your own

When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I'm turnin' mine on you

Now you're on your own
How does it feel
To feel the way I used to feel

When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I'm turnin' mine on you

When I wanted you...

From BallerAlert.com:
“He made a difference. He inspired artists from Frank Ocean and H.E.R. to Anderson .Paak and Daniel Caesar. His blend of live instrumentation, spiritual themes, and raw emotion changed the blueprint for what R&B could be…. Behind the fame, D’Angelo was known for his quiet nature, devotion to his craft, and resistance to the pressures of celebrity culture. His passing marks the end of an era, but his music and message will live forever.”

Do You Love Me That Much -- Peter Cetera

Sometimes at night I lay awake,
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?

When you look at me across the crowded room,
Suddenly I wanna be alone with you.
I hang on every word that leaves your lips,
Anticipate the moment when I feel your kiss.
Enough of you is not enough.
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?

For so long, I've been trying to believe,
That someday, you'll fall as deep as me.
But it's just not there, love isn't always fair.

Would you want the best for me,
And I hope I find the kind of love you can't feel for me.
Could you find it in your heart,
To end this thing right now before it's gone too far
Let me go and give me up
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?
Do you love me that much?

Do You Love Me That Much -- Peter Cetera

Sometimes at night I lay awake
Just to watch you sleep, hear each breath you take
When the morning lights your face
I just wanna hold you and forget the day

I live and breathe your every touch
Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me that much?

When you look at me across the crowded room
Suddenly I wanna be alone with you
I hang on every word that leaves your lips
Anticipate the moment when I feel your kiss

Enough of you is not enough
Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me that much?

For so long, I've been trying to believe
That someday, you'll fall as deep as me
But it's just not there
(But it's just not there)
Love isn't always fair
(Love isn't always fair)

Would you want the best for me?
And I hope I find the kind of love you can't feel for me
Could you find it in your heart
To end this thing right now before it's gone too far?

Let me go and give me up
Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me that much?
Do you love me that much?

Warning: This documentary discusses death and dying.

“Just as lullabies send babies to sleep, so songs can help those at the other end of life on their way. The leader of a Threshold Choir reveals what they do – and the personal tragedies that convinced her we need to get better at dealing with death.”

One of my besties in middle and high school, Wanda Reneé, had a crush on him. We went to see him in concert and got to go back stage. We saw him but didn’t meet him, still it was a special night for us.

He lived on the same side of town as we did for a while. She knew where he lived but we would never go to his house. People didn’t do that in the back in the day in Detroit. Everyone had homes in the D. Aretha, the Temps, the Gordy’s, Jackie Wilson, etc. The Gordy’s had a mansion but most of the homes were accessible and not gated, but you didn’t bother them. Different times, different rhymes…

Carl brings back good memories. RIP

Here is another nice song I recently heard: It’s by Teddy Swims (Chordline).

I really like this song and I’m adopting it as my anthem to help me through this very very painful time we are expert in the country. I’m gonna let my light shine and be a part of millions of us standing up for decency, kindness, ethical behavior and morality that withstands political fires of cruelty hatred and down right meanness.

Hope this song finds you and your listeners well, my sweet friend!

Sisterly hugs for you (((( hug )))) 🩵💜💚💙🩷🧡💛❤️
