To celebrate Black History Month, I am going to feature great Black singers, dancers, actors who have stood the tests of time and the civil rights struggles they endured.
PS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY (February 11) to San Geraldo (Mitchell's husband)!

FIRST! and more great tunes next week, bob!
DeleteSo much good music to enjoy this morning. I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteand plenty more next week, dear!
DeleteOh joy! This is my absolute favorite Sister Sledge song! Thanks for choosing that one, Carebear. A good selection, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that, duchess! will smith samples the intro in "gettin' jiggy wit it".
DeleteOh, my... the sisters are bringing it today. Nancy Wilson. I keep forgetting about her... she gets lost between Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan. Adore. And Gladys... always a welcome voice. An absolute celebration. Donna, et. al. Thank you, Ms. Anne Marie... DJ Supreme. Kizzes.
ReplyDeletesisters are doing it for themselves, dear!

DeleteWhat an incredible selection of talent and inspiration. Eartha Kitt and C'est Si Bon was on one of my crossword puzzles today. You'll have me singing all night (but I'll bet you hear that all the time).
ReplyDeletefascinating, captain. 2 brains on the same wavelength.
DeleteSo many good songs, I must say Ella, Nina and Dinah, no one had voices like them...they brought life to every song they did.

DeleteI like your choices, anne marie in philly. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the Pointer Sisters.
ReplyDeleteI think they sang that song better than bruce springsteen.
DeleteLots of great songs, but I must admit, I've always had a hell of a soft spot in my heart for It's Raining Men.
ReplyDeleteall my menz friends say that!
DeleteHappy weekend dear one

DeleteThis playlist is so hot is not even funny. I'm always amazed at the Black excellence of these performers. I think I'm going to follow your lead and I'll write a post about BHM. Always good to keep in mind.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
