Music Fo' Grown Fo'ks is the rag-tag soul-sistah to my long running hit radio show (of the same name) that for 5 years traced the roots of today's soul through its history in emotionally complex music from Motown, Soul, R&B, Gospel, 60s C&W, Funk, Retro-Soul, Deep Crate, and love ballads, plus those songs you forgot you really wanted to hear on Friday afternoons on WKDU Philadelphia 91.7fm. Follow my tweets, look at my archive, email, or ask me.
I rap on nature of my relationship with my BFF Potato; I discuss the deep and moving experiences I have from Art, Film, and Yacht Rock. I give a heads-up on my-upcoming gigs, and I muse about my journey towards musical ecstasy.

It’s Mary J.’s Birthday!!!

It was totally meant to be. I’ve been listening to ‘My Life II’ since last weekend eventhough, I bought it the week it dropped. Well, last night I went to Other Music and found ‘My Life’ in the used section…and I was compelled to buy it cuz well, DUH!

Today, I’ve been jamming to it hoping Mary’s pain can help soothe my tortured soul; then, I checked wiki to count Mary J.’s albums over the last 20 years, and I learned today is her Birthday.

Happy Birthday Miss Blige. Here’s hoping My Life can be drama-free, too. Thank you for leading the way to a better existence.
