The Marquees didn't just perform their own music; they also supported other well-known artists like Bo Diddley and Billy Stewart, providing their talented vocal harmonies.In addition to the work they did as the Marquees, the group also recorded under a different name, the New Moonglows, with singer Harvey Fuqua. This helped them reach more audiences and share their music widely.Overall, the Marquees played an important role in the doo-wop scene and contributed to the rich history of American music.About Actors, stories, and film.

A story about me and you. My story reflects the themes of the song ‘The Weight’ by The Staple Singers .Sometimes I’m a weary traveler on a journey to find hope and purpose. As I walk,  I encounter people from all walks of life who are struggling with their own burdens.I’ve met people who felt lost and alone. I have tried to offer them companionship and encouragement. Together we try to share our struggles. Some people carry the weight of sadness. I try to help them see the light and to remind them that they are not alone.Finally, I realize that, though I had been on a challenging path. The connections I made along the way had transformed my journey together with the friends I met. They created a community where no one had to carry their weight alone.When you have time, give ‘The Weight’ a listen by The Staple Singers.

Story by: Gail NoblesIntro by: Gail NoblesPhoto: Steven L. Smith (QZVX.COM), Bellingham, WA, USA - VimeoUsage: CC BY 3.0I vividly recall the moment I first encountered Irene Cara's anthem, "What A Feeling." Instantly, I sensed it was destined for great success. The song captured my heart from the very first note. The opening lines touched deeply, almost feeling like she was speaking directly to me: “First, when there’s nothing but a slow glowing dream.” And then, as the tempo quickens, I find myself swept away, caught up in the exhilarating rush of “Well, I hear the music…”The song became more challenging for me when Irene Cara launched into the chorus of "What I Feelin’." My mom always said it was a fantastic tune for me to practice my singing skills. As the years passed, my mom grew increasingly worried about the silence surrounding Irene Cara in the music scene.In 2022, my mother had already passed away, leaving a void that was hard to fill. I stumbled upon Irene Cara's song once more and decided to look her up on social media, hoping to drop her a birthday message. After sending my wishes, I found myself eagerly awaiting her response. A few months later, the news hit me hard: Irene had passed away too in November. It was a deep blow, especially as I watched so many of my beloved stars leave us. All I could think was, "What now? Not another one." It felt like something was terribly wrong with so many icons departing from this world.In July 2025, I found myself captivated by some videos of Irene Cara. As I listened, I felt a gentle message in her voice, reassuring me: "It's okay. Go on through." It seemed that Irene didn't want her passing to cast a shadow over my life and wanted me to move forward. Instead, she encouraged me to embrace life to the fullest, to remain focused on the present and the future, rather than lingering in the sadness of her absence. I could almost hear her say, "You've got that rhythm. You've got that feeling."Well, that's the story for today. Thank you for listening to Actories, Stories, and Film.

We may feel weak but together we’re strong. We are writing this song. Oh people!Gail Nobles: We’re diving deep into the soulful waters of Patti LaBelle’s “Oh People,” a heartfelt song that’s like an anthem call to arms for unity. This divine song reminds us all that we’re part of one big, loving family. Can you feel that rhythm?Now, think about those touching lines—if we were truly one big family, there wouldn’t be any hunger, no one left struggling on the street. Patti’s got a powerful message here—she’s saying that dignity is not just a wish but a right for every single soul on this planet. Ain’t that beautiful?We’ve got a hot topic that’s just cookin’ in the world of rhythm and blues! We’re talking about a captivating tune that strummed its way right into our hearts and took a respectable trip up the charts! Yes, indeed! This song reached number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, hitting that sweet spot at number 7 on the R&B charts. Now that’s a groove that gets you moving!But wait, there's more! Our song also serenaded fans across the pond, reaching number 26 in the United Kingdom and making waves in Europe! It crested at number 31 in the Netherlands, and even found its way to New Zealand, where it peaked at number 36. What an international sensation.Written by the dynamic duo of Andy Goldmark and Bruce Roberts, this tune served as the second single from her eighth studio album, “Winner in You,” released back in 1986! And who could forget the sonic magic of Richard Perry behind the production boards, bringing the whole package to life? That’s what you call a winning combination.And when Patti Labelle sings, “If I tell you you’re a part of me,” you just know she means it! It’s all about that faith, that connection. There’s no space for disbelief in this groove; it’s about standing united. Just take her hand and let’s dream together, because when we share those dreams—ohhh—magic happens!Separately, we may stumble, but together? We rise! We are stronger, folks! That’s what the song means. It’s all about collaboration, love, and strength in numbers. Patti’s here to tell us we’re not just singing lyrics; we’re living these words!So let’s join together, build that world we desire, because when the music plays, and hearts align, there’s no stopping us!

The magnificent, William Bell and his soulful classic Every Day Will Be Like A Holiday.What a masterful tune he shared with us.Let’s dive into the lyrics because they tell story that connects with the heart. When he sings “Every Day Will Be Like A Holliday”, William isn’t just talking about a day off work or some ribbon tied package. No, no! He’s painting a vivid picture of blissful companionship. Imagine the joy, the freedom, and that feeling you get when your loved one scrolls back into your life. It’s like every day turns into a celebration, a festive occasion filled with joy and love.Now he continues to sing and his words were: "When my baby, when my baby comes home.”A powerful declaration, isn’t it? There’s an unstable logging here a sense of hope that just makes you feel all warm inside. This anticipation, the idea that something beautiful is on the horizon, is what keeps the soul alive.“I’ll never have to worry about sitting by the phone,” he said in his singing. Oh,  the way he captured that anxious waiting. How many of us have felt? The dread of waiting for someone to call, to check in, to say, “Hey I’m thinking about you.” But in Bells’ world, all those words vanish when love arrives. There is an undeniable comfort in knowing you’re no longer alone and that’s what makes every moment a holiday.“And when she gets here, I’ll never be alone.” Isn’t that the truth, the profound joy found and companionship in knowing you have someone who shares in your life, It’s like a warm hug on a cold day. A reminder that love is the ultimate gift, turning the ordinary into something miraculous.Each day can be a celebration if we carry that love in our hearts- an every day holiday that makes life all the more vibrant and cherished.Thank you for listening to Actors Stories and Film.

Keyboardist: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail Nobles ©️ 2024Photo: Pixabay.comHello song listeners!  It's your girl Gail Nobles, and I'm about to spin you a tale that will tickle your toes and twist your mind. Once upon a time in the 1970s in a little town where the streets whispered secrets and the night aired with excitement ,there was a traveling carnival that rolled in one fateful evening. The neon lights flickered like fireflies, and the sounds of laughter mixed with the enticing aroma of caramel corn. But this wasn't just any carnival. This was the famous sideshow spectacular. Now at the heart of this carnival was a charming young couple. Christopher and his girl Lily. Christopher was a dreamer, and Lily had a smile that could light up the dark. One magical evening with the moon shining bright, the carnival drew in a thong of thrill-seekers. The side show was electric, and Christopher thought he was losing Lily to another man's charm. He stood off to the sidelines with his heart aching, but Lily looked into Christopher's eyes as the other man was trying to steal Lily away. She was caught up into the carnival and all the magic, but Christopher sad eyes brought her back down, and in that moment everything changed. The realization dawned: her heart belong to him. Not the spotlight or the charm of another man. Lily turned away and ran into the arms of Christopher and said, “I'd rather choose love, and I'd rather have you.” The audience erupted into applause but what matter most was the connection between Christopher and Lily. They embraced under the carnival lights, a spot igniting a beautiful promise. And just like that, the carnival continue to spend a vibrant world of color and sound. Christopher and Lily forged a path of love side-by-side leaving behind what could have been a lost love and heartbreak of the side show. When I think about that, I think of the song Sideshow by Blue Magic released in 1974. It was first released on the album Blue Magic. And when issued as a single, it's sold over 1 million copies going to number 1 R&B in April 1974 and number 8 pop in the United States in the summer billboard ranked it as the number 19 song for 1974. I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Actors, Stories, and Film.

Story by: Gail NoblesTaraji Photo: Public Domain WikipediaTammi Terrell Photo: Public Domain Commons.WikimediaHello! I'm Gail Nobles and I want to talk to you again about Taraji P Henson. Taraji P Henson has played in The Color Purple of 2023 according to the Director Blitz Bazawule. She's actually singing in the movie, and she took some vocal lessons. Taraji has done an outstanding job.I could always see Taraji playing the life story of Tammi Terrell not knowing that she could sing.In case you didn't know Tammi Terrell was a singer songwriter widely known as a star singer for Motown records during the 1960s notably for a series of duets with singer Marvin Gaye. Though Taraji has talent in acting and singing, she might not want to play as Tammy Terrell, but she sure would be perfect for the role. If anyone approaches her with a pleasing offer, that would be awesome.I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to Actors Stories and Film.About Actors, stories, and film.

by: Gail NoblesPhoto of Janet: NO3https://flic.kr/p/a15hkHUsage: Wikipedia CC BY 2.0Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to another episode of Actors, Stories, and Film. Today I'm thinking about the time when I was a little girl watching little Janet Jackson as May West. I didn't know who May West was until I had learned who Janet was imitating. May West was before my time. Janet Jackson was amazing acting as May West when she was a little girl. I remember on the TV comedy Good Times when she imitated May West while talking on a CB.“Well, I'm very mature for my age.” She would put her hands on her hip. Janet Jackson was an awesome May West. I think Janet would say her own lines imitating Mae West, but I remember Janet saying a famous line by May West."Why don't you come up and see me sometime.” Janet would pat her hair near the back of her neck just like May West. I haven't seen Janet Jackson act like May West in decades. Now that she's a grown woman, she probably could act out May West better than she did before. Janet could make a small black and white mini movie and bring it in color acting as Mae West with song and dance. She could show off May West’s style and fashion and add her own. In case you're wondering, May West was an American actress singer, comedian, screenwriter, and playwright whose career Spand over seven decades. She was considered a sex symbol, and that's who Janet Jackson is. People consider her also as a sex symbol. I'm Gail Nobles.

Voice actor quotes by: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesPhoto: Wikipedia Public DomainTaraji P Hanson is an outstanding actress. We all know that movies are just movies, but Hendon can make them seem real as an actress.I'm thinking about several movies she played in like the movie Hidden Figures. The scene where she has an argument with actor Kevin Costner about the bathroom.“There is no bathroom, .. and I work like a dog!” Thouh Henson is just acting, it doesn't look and sound like it, and that's what we want in acting. She played as Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician.I'm thinking about the movie The Best Of Enemies. She always carried a tough look on her face in that movie."We gonna beat school segregation once and for all!"Henson played as Ann Atwater, a community organizer in Durham, North Carolina. The movie was based on a true story.Then there's another film starring Taraji P Henson. It’s an action film. She plays as Mary Goodwin. She kills her target Marcus Miller in his apartment and she took care of his son Danny. “Hey! your mouth. I told you I wasn't gonna let anybody touch you and I meant it.” The name of that movie is Proud Mary.Taraji P Henson is a strong actress.

Unlike most of the group's singles from this time period, Melvin handles most of the vocal duties, while Teddy Pendergrass appears for one line and the closing part of the song. Paige took on a more prominent role in the group after Pendergrass left the group for a solo career.Released in 1975 from the album To Be True, the song reached number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart in the summer of that year.

Intro: by Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesAll photos: Public Domain/ Wikipedia.orgThe Temptations & Four TopsIt was Motown 25 when I first saw the Temptations and Four Tops perform together. It was a battle between the two groups in a fun kind of way. I’ll never forget watching them on TV when I heard the announcer say: The Four Tops and The Temptations here to battle it out just like in the old days!The Four Tops began first singing a little bit of their song, Reach Out (I’ll Be There). Then the Temptations began singing a little bit of their song, Get Ready. They kept on that way singing different songs in between.The audience would applaud both groups, and you could hear the excitement in their voices shouting out for them. The Temptations would take over and sing Sugar Pie Honey Bunch by the Four Tops & The Four Tops would end up singing one of the Temptations’ songs. Before long, they were like one group singing one song, and the audience gave them a standing ovation. Motown 25 was a 1983 TV Special. When Motown returned to the Apollo in 1985, The Temptations and the Four Tops had a battle again. Bill Cosby said: If you got a weak heart, you better leave now because I got a feeling something special is about to happen. We call it the battle of the groups.In that battle Levi Stubbs was left in my mind. He was an awesome actor in singing. Melvin from the Temptations would sing something like: Bom dom dom dom dom.And Levi would say: Shut up Melvin!Melvin: Got you that time.Levi: Okay! That’s enough! That’s enough!But it was all love between the two. I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. Have a Happy New Year.About Actors, stories, and film.

He played as a major role in the Civil Rights Movement. He continued to break down racial barriers after leaving baseball. These things could be put into a new movie. They did not focus on the life of Jackie Robinson after he left baseball in the movie starring Boseman.

You’ve seen him in films such as Fist of Fury 2, Deadly Strike, and Return of the Tiger just to name a few. After Bruce Lee’s death, Bruce Li’s acting career began. Bruce Lee died in 1973, and I was three years old. I saw clips of his funeral at age 3 and went on thinking that I was watching Bruce Lee whenever I saw Bruce Li in Kung Fu films. Thanks to Bruce Li, I remember Bruce Lee. I couldn’t tell them apart.At the movie theater I remember being in a long line with my mother and father just to see a Bruce Lee or a Bruce Li film. It is Bruce Li that I remember the most. I always called him Bruce Lee. My favorite film starring Bruce Li is titled Deadly Strike. He played tough in that one. I also like Fist of Fury 2. Seeing Bruce Li play in those films made it seem like Bruce Lee was still around. He was a great Bruce Lee imitator and great actor. So where is Bruce Li today. In 1985, he ended his career and returned to Taiwan. I wish to see him again in a Kung Fu film as Bruce Li just one more time for old times' sake. Bruce Li is still around, and you can find him on Facebook. It’s great to see him there.I’m Gail Nobles and Today’s Topic is: Where Is Bruce Li?About Actors, stories, and film.

Story by: Gail NoblesToday's topic is an example of an Oscar. The Academy Awards. If you want to make a great movie and win an Oscar, try doing something never done before.The Ten Commandments was a movie that won an Oscar in 1957 for special effects. It was amazing to see the parting of the Red Sea. It was a Bible story brought to life in film and was exciting to see. The burning bush and seeing the pillar of fire was exciting to see too. I haven't seen another movie done like that one. The movie is a 1956 epic religious drama film produced, directed, and narrated by Cecil B. DeMille, shot in Vista Vision (Color by Technicolor) and released by Paramount Pictures. Today movies seem to be quickly made with computer adding special effects, but when I look at the special effects in the movie of The Ten Commandments, it looks so real. The Wizard of Oz was another great example of an Oscar type of movie and also Gone With the Wind. So if you want to make a great movie and win an Oscar, think of the movies that won oscars. Think of something great to make a movie about. Try to make a movie that you know people would want to see. Some movies are made fast and confusing. Some movies are just not good at all. When I think about how the old movies were made, I can tell that they were made well and made from the heart. We need movies to be made like that today...About Actors, stories, and film.

Story by: Gail L. NoblesKeyboard player by: Gail NoblesActors by: Gail NoblesSound effects of web webshooter: Soundbible.com and https://www.freesfx.co.ukStan Lee info: Superman VS Spiderman comic bookPhoto Credit: Public DomainStan Lee from Marvel Comics and Carmine Infantino from DC comics had been friends for years. They collaborated on strips in the early days of comics. Stan wrote them and Carmine drew them. They both knew that they couldn't keep their top heroes apart. According to Stan, readers everywhere were demanding a team-up of Superman and Spiderman. And so it happened. Superman VS Spiderman was in the giant DC comic of 1976. There were two villains that teamed up in the comic book, Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus. They combined forces in order to conquer the world and kill both of the men who put them behind bars.Superman mistakenly blames Spiderman for the disappearance of the two women, Lois Lane and Mary Jane. The two of them got into a fight. When Spiderman's punches, instead of staggering Superman, suddenly had little effect, Spiderman calls off the fight. Realizing they had been deceived, Superman suspected a plot by Lex Luthor and Doc Ock. Superman and Spiderman joined forces to fight the two villains. The name of the comic book is "Superman VS The Amazing Spiderman: The Battle of the Century" published by Marvel and DC Comics. I think that the comic book would make an awesome movie.

But we didn't get to see much of the social activist James Brown. I think another movie should be made starring the man James Brown endorsed known as the Godson, Tony Wilson.James Brown said, "We tired of beating our heads against the walls and working for someone else....Black power meant different things to different people, see. To some people it meant black people owning businesses and having a voice in politics.James Brown had great philosophy of his own. He would put it into his music. I believe that Tony Wilson, endorsed as the Young James Brown by The Godfather of Soul himself should play as James Brown. He can dance and sing just like The Godfather. Tony has his looks, voice, and style. He would be perfect for a new James Brown movie. Tony has been on stage with James and was recognized by him for a movie role . Mr. Wilson was asked to be in Tony Scott's Internet-only short film, "Beat the Devil".Now today, Tony is doing the works that James Brown would do singing his own song with a familiar voice titled, "Fight the Power". It would be great to see him in a new James Brown movie and repeat the things that James Brown said, "You know, in Augusta, Georgia I used to shine shoes on the steps of a radio station.....But today, I own that radio station.......That's black power."I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to Movies Unmade.About Actors, stories, and film.

But where do they com from? Prince Vultan is the Prince of the bird like Hawkmen in the Flash Gordon comic strip and it's adaptations. Vultan and his people dwell in Sky City, a metropolis that floats in the sky. Vultan and the other Hawkmen provoked some controversy at the time of publication. Some Christian leaders regarded the characters as blasphemous because they resembled angels.A movie could be made about the hawkmen alone. In the movie, it can be said that the Hawkmen were created by scientists and thy flew to an undiscovered planet. And they could say that the people on earth felt threatened by the Hawkmen. On the undiscovered planet, the bird like men could become a kingdom and become a divided kingdom. It could be said that's how Vultan and part of the Hawkmen started dwelling in Sky City. I picture Vultan as a tall, muscular, and mighty Hawkman with the characteristics of a king, pirate, viking, hawk, and man. He could look dreadful to ordinary men because of his great wings and tall stature.Until next time, goodbye friends! You're listening to Movies Unmade.About Actors, stories, and film.

Today's topic is "There Could Have Been a Bodyguard 2"We've seen The BodyguardIt is a 1992 Romantic thriller film directed by Mick Jackson, and Produced by Kevin Costner and Jim Wilson, and starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. The film was written by Lawrence Kasdan. Now lets talk about the characters. Rachel, played by Whitney Houston, is an Academy Award -- nominated actress and music superstar who is being sent death threats by a stalker. Frank, played by Kevin Costner, was formally a secret service agent who protected Rachel. It would have been nice to see a Bodyguard 2 film starring Whitney Houston & Keven Costner. What would have made a 2nd movie of it interesting is to see Rachel save Frank. It would have been fun to see Rachel shoot guns during a time when Frank could have been out numbered by several bad guys. They could have been a team.In the Bodyguard movie, Rachel and Frank leaves each other in the end kissing goodbye. It would have been nice to see them in A Bodyguard 2 movie escaping together. The movie could have been a film with more action than the first. I would have loved to have seen Frank and Rachel together one more time starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.Whitney Houston left us with such a great memory. Thank you Kevin Costner for choosing her. I wish I could see you both just one more time .........About Actors, stories, and film.

Title: Children are the FutureStory by: Gail NoblesKeyboard player: Gail NoblesPhoto Credit: By Asterio Tecson - Flickr: 135, CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=15828487Good evening Whitney Houston fans and anyone else that may be listening. Something pointed out to me that the song "Greatest Love of All" was a very good song. I had heard it before from George Benson back in 1977, but when Whitney Houston sang it in the 80's, I didn't recognize the song because I heard George and his version of it maybe once or twice. By then, I had forgotten about it. Whitney's first line singing the song was, I believe the children are our future. People, you've got to believe in your children. There was a woman in the Bible name Sherah who built 3 cities. You'll find that in 1 Chronicles chapter 7 verse 24. In our world today, people look at the gender a lot, but whether you are male or female, God will use you. the Bible lets us know who we are. Children grew up in the Bible and became great. They were not just born to be born.The children are the future. Don't put them down. Encourage them. Whitney Houston singing The Greatest Love of All is something we ought to remember and keep in mind. You know Whitney became great herself, and she probably had other abilities that she didn't know she had. People ask you how did you do so and so. Just know that things come from God.

Will Smith played as him, but there was so much more to Muhammad Ali than boxing. I think a movie should be made about the political Ali and his religion.Mr. Ali was influenced by the man he called the honorable Elijah Muhammad. Muhammad Ali spoke great things, and things that made a lot of sense regardless of his joking around in boxing. I think a movie should be made focusing on his great speeches and other things that he may have done that some of us may not know about. A movie should be made about Muhammad Ali Islam days with Malcom X and Elijah Muhammad.I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to Movies Unmade.About Actors, stories, and film.

Information from The Harlem Globetrotter's videoBasketball effects: https://www.freesfx.co.ukPhoto credit: Commons.wikimedia.org/Public DomainGlobetrotters announcer: KAAY Commercials For Globetrotters 1970/ Public Domain Mark 1.0archive.orgIt would be nice to see a Harlem Globetrotter's movie. How the Globetrotters got started would make an interesting beginning.Abe Saperstein was the man that started the team. He grew up watching black boys play basketball in the streets of Chicago. Abe started a professional black basketball team. Black guys were not allowed to play on white teams in those days. In 1927, according to the Globetrotters's History, Abe took the team out on the road. There is meaning behind the name “Harlem Globetrotters”. Harlem lets you know that the team is black and the name “Globetrotters” was to make you think that they had traveled all over the world. If I am not mistaken, at first, the Globetrotters had not traveled all over the world. Maybe, Abe believed that they would, and he gave them that awesome name. The Harlem Globetrotters were not really from Harlem. I think the first five came from Chicago. At first, they only had five players. When the team traveled on the road, times were a bit tough. They did not have much money and they slept in the car. It was very cold. There was some racial discrimination, but as time went on, things got better for the Globetrotters. They are still famous today and traveling around the world. The story of the Harlem Globetrotters would make a great movie. I'm Gail Nobles.

Movies UnmadeStory by: Gail NoblesKeyboard player: Gail NoblesVoice actor by: Gail NoblesPhoto Credit: Pixabay8/18/2018The Adventures of Superman was a television series starring George Reeves in 1952. I don't remember seeing Superman fighting against a lot of foes as strong as he was. I saw some of the episodes from the series in the 1970's. The television series was still great to watch though Superman didn't have foes with his strength. There is one episode from the season 6 DVD that I thought would be a great remake for the big screen. The episode is titled, "The Last Knight". It is the TV episode from 1958 and in color. In this episode, Superman was flying wearing armor. He was dressed as a knight. Clark Kent did not appear to be worried about the secret society knights. They were the bad guys who were four rich men dressed as knights. I'm sure Clark Kent as Superman would have been worried to know that Lois Lane was captured by them in a remake. He would rescue her in a hurry. The story would probably be altogether different and maybe more fascinating. The story would be more exciting.In the TV series, Lois Lane, Jimmy, and some of the knights were locked up in a dungeon with Superman dressed in his armor disguise. They were locked up by one knight that was a killer. And of course you know Superman won the battle. Superman looked great in the 1950's as a flying knight. If Superman looked great in the 1950's as a flying knight, I'm sure the new Superman would too.About Actors, stories, and film.

Title: Whitney WithinStory by: Gail NoblesPhoto credit: Randee St. NicholasUsage: Wikepedia.org Fair usehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Whitney_Houston_Hologram_Tour_poster.jpegIt was the year of 2012 when I created a blog. It was a blog about Whitney Houston. I named it Whitney Within. I didn't name it Whitney Within because of singing. I named it Whitney Within because of feeling. There were things inside of me that I felt. There was something guiding me along and letting me know that Whitney was really a decent person. I looked at her from the very beginning of her career. I feel the guide is a simple gift. Something tells me that Whitney did make some mistakes. Don't we all? Something also tells me that she was very powerful, and there was a lot of envying going on. I was told to look at what I saw. I feel that was the Spirit of God talking with me. I heard him say, "Don't worry about Whitney's death."Many times I would listen to Whitney Houston sing. She could sing with a loud shout. Whitney would do the kind of things in singing that gospel singers do. One day I tried singing in that shouting voice incorrectly and discovered that Whitney's high note wasn't my high note. Somehow I felt Whitney Houston saying, "You have strength. Stay with you." To be honest, I don't feel the spirit of shouting when I sing. I feel something else. What God gave to Whitney Houston, God gave to Whitney Houston.As I study the Bible, God talks with me about things like raising the dead. I don't know whether or not God intended for Whitney Houston to die. Right now, she's resting. I feel in God that it's only the beginning. Sometimes I feel a mystery. St. John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” It feels like Whitney Houston never left.

Podcast Theme: by Gail Nobles © 2019Music by: Gail NoblesVocals by: Gail NoblesI'll never forget the movie Krush Groove in the year of 1985. In my opinion, it's still the best hip hop movie ever made with popular artists like Sheila E, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, and the Fat Boys. Krush Groove was a film based on the life of Russell Simmons portrayed by Blair Underwood. They used the name Russell Walker. In the movie, Russell Walker signed all of the hottest acts to his Krush Groove record label, including Run DMC, Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and Kurtis Blow. Rick Rubin produced their records. Russell borrowed money from a street hustler when he didn't have the money to press records; when Run DMC had a hit record. Russell got into trouble because he didn't have the money to pay the hustler back. It was one thing to another, but in the end, things worked out. Looking at the way the music industry is today and listening to all the stories about recording artists, record companies, and producers, I'm sure a Krush Groove 2 film could be made starring Sheila E, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, and the Fat Boys. A lot has happened in real life with them since 1985. Maybe they have some stories that they want to put together and tell for another movie. It would be nice to see all the artists that starred in the movie do something together again. We lost one or two of them. So I wouldn't expect the movie to be quite the same. If there could be a Krush Groove 2, that shouldn't stop the artists in the movie from coming back better than before. They have more experience, still talented, and much wiser now. I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. Today's topic is Krush Groove.About Actors, stories, and film.

Looking at the world today and hearing their words "Get Up" is a Salt N Pepa demand. They were really sending out a message telling everybody to have some spunk in life through music. In just two words, they were telling us that there are things that must be done, but most of us only heard the rap, the music, and saw the dance. But when you look around in life, you can see the hidden words to Salt N Pepa's message. If your sister's down, Get Up! Go see your sister. If your brother's in trouble, Get Up! Go help your brother. Sometimes you have to put away the music and tune into the voices calling out around you. Salt N Pepe's hit, "Everybody Get Up" left a lasting ringing in my ear with a little different tune and beat. (Singing)The Album's cover of "A Salt with a Deadly Pepa" is saying a lot too. When I heard the album's title, I thought, "Those girls are tough and number 1....."(Continuing thought through singing)And I can go on and on and on about Salt N Pepa. I'm Gail Nobles.

Even those of us that weren't in the music business, and I would sit in my room and play rap music and rhyme all day long, and my mom would say, "Girl, turn that radio down." A lot of parents were complaining, but it kept some teenagers off the streets, and it kept me dreaming. My favorite girl rap group was Salt-N-Pepa, and in those days, it was pronounced on the radio that rap music was going to be banned, and that's when I began to write my own rap song thinking Salt -N-Papa.(Song)Salt-N-Pepa and DJ Spinderella. The Hip-Hop/rap trio from New York City, New York. They were formed in 1985 and was one of the first-female rap groups. The group won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. They had great hits like their song,"Let's Talk About Sex" which was a huge hit. "Push It" was another great hit. It helped their 1986 album "Hot, Cool, and Vicious" sell over one million copies. I'll never forget their rap song like "Tramp". "Shake Your Thang" and "Get Up Everybody (Get Up)" were my two favorite music videos from Salt-N-Pepa: songs from their album "A Salt With a Deadly Pepa". They went right out of one video into another telling their rap story. Hurby Love Bug and Kid-N-Play played the police in the "Shake Your Thang" video and captured Salt-N-Pepa. They Kept them in prison all night for dirty dancing. When they were let go at the end, they met Spinderella, changed clothes magically, and went into the video, "Get Up". My favorite mini movie from Salt-N-Pepa. The Rap Trio had class. They always looked great in clothing and fashion. They changed the look of hip hop. Salt-N-Pepa started out in 1985 and lasted all the way up to 1999. Sometimes I still hear about them doing things together for special occasions.

Story by: Gail NoblesVocals and Music by: Gail NoblesPhoto credit: Wikipedia.com (Public Domain)July 28, 2018There is a special song that I have been looking for - for a long time. It has been finally found. It's titled, "Old People", by Archie Bell & the Drells.Do you ever think about where you will be if you live to get old? Some people don't. In some nursing homes, people are very cruel to the elderly.I met a praying old lady in her 90's in the nursing home. She was in a wheel chair. One day she fell, and she hit the floor, and nobody was around to help her up. Somehow she managed to help herself up. She told me that sometimes she would ask God, "Lord, you still there?"We get scared sometimes. When I was leaving out the door, I was thinking that old lady could be me one day. That's when Archie Bell and the Drells fell on my mind with their song. It was a song released in 1978. I'm Gail Nobles, and that's the song for today.
