On Friday night, me and a sold out crowd trekked to Harlem USA in a massive snowstorm for Labelle's opening night of their reunion tour. Their first concert in thirty-two years opened at the Apollo, bringing Patti Labelle, Nona Hendryx, and Sarah Dash back to their soul and funk roots. The legendary Whoopi Goldberg introduced the icons and within seconds they opened with their emotional rendition of "Miss Otis Regrets."Labels: Patti LaBelle

"Giving Up" is a legendary song that was made famous in the 1976 movie Sparkle. The song was sung by Lonette Mckee who played Sister, but in 1972 the torch song was recorded by Donny Hathaway. Donny sang the song like he had given up, aching, sad, controlled, and terribly painful.Labels: Old School

Thank you for submitting your questions for Brandy! I interviewed her earlier this week for Advocate.com. Her new album hit stores on Tuesday and the former teen-queen definitely showed love to the gays in this interview.Labels: Brandy

Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Fantasia and many others need to take some serious notes! Damita gets a lil' case of "vertigo" -- 30 minutes before show time -- and cancels. Whitney gets a lil' tickle in her throat and can't hold a note. Fantasia, who I love, canceled more shows of The Color Purple on Broadway than she actually performed. However, a 69 year-old woman who once picked cotton in Tennessee was hooked up to an oxygen tank just a day before her concert in New York City and still performs a two and a half hour set—getting rave reviews. Please don’t tell me Tina ain’t really a “singer,” anyone who says this doesn’t know Tina’s catalogue and surely hasn’t seen her live.Labels: Old School

On Friday, November 21st, I had the pleasure of reviewing a Stephanie Mills concert for the EDGE. The Broadway and R&B legend brought the house down at B.B. Kings Blues Club in New York City like it was 1989. The show was excellent, she sang all of her hits, plus some songs I never heard -- BUT she left out "Comfort of a Man," her last top ten R&B hit.

The D-list ex-gay who once told me, "I am physically attracted to the spirit of Christ,” Charlene "You Follow Me?" Cothran, is now begging for coins—all under the name of God and prayers. Alicia Banks forwarded me Cothran’s holiday email to convert the gays because "preservation of the family is what Thanksgiving celebrates"—damn, are the gays now a threat to Native American genocide day?
