The Best of R&B In One Evening!
“Who Needs A Storyteller When There’s R&B Music!”
There's Nothing Like True Grown Folks Music - We Call It R&B
Good morning! As I’m having my coffee, i’m marveling over the spectacular weekend I had. It's my birthday week and I'm still thinking about how I jumped things off. What better way to begin the celebrations then with a concert for grown folks with a few good legends and great friends. Oh it was an R&B extravaganza. I love me some good old school music with a message. It's the kind that grabs your heart strings; the kind that reaches way down in the depths of your soul and makes you reminiscence about days gone by.
R&B Legends Are Known For Deep Lyrical Messages - ALWAYS!
Stephanie Mills talked about the importance of respecting the Power of Love. Jeffrey Osbourne reminded us that, "When We Party, We Party Hearty". And YES, Howard Hewitt knelt down and sang that ever so popular 80s wedding song "For The Lover In You".
Jeffery O. didn't disappoint the audience as he finally disrobed his shirt and tie in typical Jeffery Osbourne fashion. We were all waiting. Even a gentleman behind me stated, "well, I was wondering when that suit was going to make its way off". YES! It was a night to behold.
The tribute to Prince Nelson Rogers was everything! That's what I love about R&B artists, when they pay homage to their own, they don't leave anything to the imagination. Stephanie Mills and Pretty Ricky rocked out Purple Rain with the guitar theatrics and all. It was the mostest down to Stepahnie’s purple dress. Pure talent.
There were selfie sticks and grown folks. My colorful black people all around me. It was “my” birthday party.
The trip down memory lane Saturday night was every bit of nostalgic as I head a little further into my 50th decade of living. If exact biological science is your thing, then 54 is where I'll land this week.
What better way to wake up Monday morning then thinking of the foot stomping weekend I had.
What did you do this weekend? Was it as grand as mine?
