We could do straight down the middle, noting the sheer amount of R&B power taking the stage at Temple University this weekend. Or perhaps a witty (sexual yet tasteful) reference to starting a love train? But seriously, just look at the photo. Who wouldn't want to spend a Saturday...
Everyone has their own special memories of Sesame Street. Hard to believe it’s older than Mo’Kelly. But probably the FUNNIEST bit that comes to mind is when Patti LaBelle sings The Alphabet Song. Ernie and Bert catchin’ the Holy Ghost! Tambourines and all! Glory Hallelujah! The Lena Horne version is the one I remember as a [...]

The music video is crap. “All Right Now”’s incendiary production, and blazing performance by Patti LaBelle, above, though, are both out of this world. Check out this studio masterpiece from her her 1992 Live! album. Play loud.

At least that's what you might infer from A.G. Sulzberger's piece in the New York Times. It basically boils down to this -- root for the Yankees, and you're rooting for the team whose fans look down upon your team, whose team tries to buy a pennant all the time, whose fans are Cinderella's wicked stepsisters. You'd be selling out, giving in, succumbing, even if you're going to take the side of the...

I find it absolutely disgusting that R&B star Usher would much rather release the details of the breakup of his marriage to Tameka Foster via the lyrics of his latest release "Papers." The single was released yesterday and he was only too eager to spill all the details, but it seems that in reality, he hasn't bothered to sign the real divorce papers, according to RadarOnline.com . The...
In the early '60s, a music executive told young Patsy Holte she was too plain, too dark, and too unattractive to join his label. Then she sang. He renamed her Patti LaBelle (ironically, the beautiful in French), and the rest is R&B/soul history... and hair. Becaus...
