Moses Blu - "Get Whatcha Get"

I love this slow song that has a great message; he's learned how to be a better man.  Moses Blu says that if you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to get what you get.  It's a crazy world out there and you ain't seen nothing yet. If you don't change your ways, what are you going to regret?  So true, so true!!

I'm looking for info about this artist and will post it as soon as I find it.

Enjoy!

Lacee - "Whose Is It?"

Was so glad to hear Lacee's new song.  She has a great voice and a fantastic range.  Here's her latest single - "Whose Is It?" (Sorry, can't help it, I changed it from 'who's' to 'whose'...) She has an interesting story in the song; it has a nice beat and catchy lyrics.  I love it!!!!

Marvin Sease - "Do It Tonight"

Everyone needs a Marvin Sease ballad every now and then!!  The man was a great performer and I love his music.  Ok, Marvin's wife just took his kids and left him and now he's hurting and lonely and needs someone.  This is definitely a begging song. lol  So, he needs somebody to help ease his pain for tonight.  (I don't think I'm that girl. lol)

Hello baby, how you doing
Oh yeah, oh that's so nice
I'm sitting here, all alone
Could you just come by for a little while
Because I really need some woman to make love to me tonight
Oh please
I need, I need some woman to make love to me tonight
Can I just say please
You see, my wife took my kids and left me, yes she did
She told me to find someone else
Oh I need, I need you baby
To make love to me tonight
Can I say it again
I need, I need some sweet woman to make love to me tonight
Oh I need, some mama's daughter to make love to me tonight
I don't mind begging honey
You see baby, the place where my heart used to be
There's a big hole and it's waiting for you to fill
Oh I need, I need you baby to make love to me tonight
Can I say please, honey
I need some sweet angel to make love to me tonight
Please, please, please
Now if you can help me, do me a favor
Do it tonight, please baby
Do it tonight, tomorrow might be too late baby
Do it tonight, do it tonight
Oh I'm begging you, honey can't you see I'm begging
Do it tonight, please,do it tonight

I love Marvin!!!

Throwback Thursday: Millie Jackson, McKinley Mitchell, Sir Charles Jones, and Tyrone Davis

It's Throwback Thursday and I love all of these songs.  "Ask Me What You Want" was awesome and hearing it reminds me of the things I was doing back in those days. lol  This "End of The Rainbow" McKinley Mitchell classic is also great and I still love singing along with it.  Sir Charles has been putting out phenomenal music and this remake of Tyrone Davis' "Do You Feel It" is about as great as the original (both versions are below). Boy, do I love music!!

Summer Wolfe - "You're My Craving"

Summer says that you're my craving and that she can't get enough of that good thang.  It's like chocolate, tastes so good, you're my sweet thing.

I don't know anything about Summer Wolfe but found this bio written/posted by her on a site called Top Cat Live: http://www.topcatlive.com/summer-wolfe-southern-soul-vocalist-shreveport-la.  When I listen to her voice, she reminds me of another singer but I can't put my finger on who...I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out.
I am a singer, entertainer, song writer, spokesperson, mother and most of all, a genuine real woman. I have always loved to sing and entertain. At 8 years old I won second place in a talent show that was held in a High School auditorium. I sang, "Do It To Me One More Time." I still remember how good it felt to hear the crowd ovation. Since then I have had the pleasure of performing at the Let The Good Times Roll Festival in Shreveport. I have performed in El Dorado, AR, East Texas and in Los Angeles, CA, just to name a few. I've had the pleasure of opening for great artists like Denise LaSalle, TK Soul, Cupid and others. I have released my first solo album entitled, "Come Get It." My prime goal is to be an accomplished, accredited Southern Soul Artist known for producing and performing great music that people love to enjoy.

If your love was a law it'd be a crime!

Peggy Scott Adams - "That's How I Do It"

Society says that women get old between the ages of 35 - 50. Peggy says that's society's problem - she's not getting old, she's turning into solid gold!  (I know that's right!)  She saw an old girlfriend who used to be finer than any woman had a right to be but she let herself go.  She asked her what happened and her friend said that she had bad breaks, mistakes, too many babies, and a whole lot of heart aches. She told Peggy that she looked so good and so young, God's been good to her and asked her how she does it.  Peggy said young men, old money, bitter tea, milk and honey, she exercises and watches her diet and makes a little love every other night.  That's how she does it. (That's a lesson for all of us!) It ain't always easy but she gets through it!

Stop being these men's baby-making machine!
