Marvin Gaye sings American National Anthem

The post are of live versions of his songs...I love to listen to real musicians and artist...he is the cornerstone.

Every year on this date I watch and listen to Mr. Marvin Pentz Gay.  I remember watching on TV about his death and later reading it in Jet in 1984, not even 10 years old but his music was in my heart and soul.  You are so missed by me.

Mariah & Nick

From iVillage...http://dailyblabber.ivillage.com/entertainment/archives/2008/05/confirmation-nick-cannon-maria.html?nlcid=et%7C05-02-2008%7C

I think back to my long~term boyfriend (7 yrs.) and I knew when he walked by me that I would have him. Although for the previous 2 months or so we argued constantly in class. Sometimes I want to say it was love at 1st sight, but really it was when he walked by me one day after class and I said...excuse my language..."I want to f@ck him" and it turned into a 7 year love affair. Do you think Mariah & Nick are in love or lust? Does love @ 1st glance really happen? Or do you have to grow into it?

Confirmation! Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey Are Married!

Holy cow!
Contrary to popular belief, Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey's reported union does
NOT seem to be an Ashton Kutcher scam.

E! checked in with Nick's family,
who confirmed
that the couple have, indeed, gotten married.
"Yes, we know. He called us
and told us all about it," said Nick's mom, Linda Cannon. "We are happy for him.
If that is what he wants, then we are happy for him." She then added, "I'm not
going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

The New York
Post, who reported that Mimi and Nick said
their vows at her new home in the Bahamas, also said that the nuptials were
so spur of the moment that Mariah didn't have time to have any sort of papers
drawn up, if you catch my drift.

"There was no prenup - there wasn't
time," said a source.
Another pal close to the couple chimed in, "Everyone
is happy to see her happy. And it could work out - some people know each other
for five years and get divorced. Maybe this is true, instant love."

Yeah, that's what you want people saying at your wedding -- "It could
work out."

My random thoughts of the day...

+ How many times can Madonna reinvent herself? And will she ever put on clothes on?

+ Thinking of my "footprint" what did we use before toilet tissue was invented?

+ Why when you click "next blog" on blogger.com you always end up on an overseas blog? Do Americans not blog?

+ Why do people avoid you when they know you are going to be pissed about something they did?

+ Isn't Horatio Cane on CSI:Miami the coolest?

+ I still believe that when people sit with their mouth open --it's a sign of dumbness. (Thanks Daddy for that belief.)

+ High School Confidential on WE reminds me why I did not like high school.

+ How do you overcome insomnia? Can someone help me go to bed at a decent hour? (Notice the post times.)

Marvin Gaye

Listening to my Motown and Oldies records...I love Marvin...April 1st is a day I wish I could slap his father!

***Please excuse my length...I am a fan...aficinado***


This is my ode to Marvin Pentz Gaye, Jr.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough


The love and chemistry that Tammi & Marvin shared is something to marvel and to respect.



What's Going On...


Can you identify the time? 60's, 70's, 90's, 00's? We are still wondering what's going on...


Trouble Man


He was troubled, but great.


Come Get to This



You Are Everything



Come Get To This / Distant Lover



Got to Give It Up



Sexual Healing


Ok...I am finished....


Let's Get It On

Quote of the Day

Who I am is the best I can be. ~ Leontyne Price

Video

I love this commercial!!! Partly because I love the song and I have a vivid memory of my Daddy attempting this dance and he can't dance but for his 35 Class Reunion he got his rhythm challenged behind out on the dance floor. I will search for the pics. You have to understand he watches your feet when you dance so if you try to add flavor to the black folks 2step he is in trouble, trouble. Another reason I have a friend who I call Roberto who looks exactly like this kid...maybe he lied?

Video...I love THIS....Thriller

I am a sports fan. Love Basketball and Football. Fall Season never finds me in church because of football. This ad from the Super Bowl with Michael Jackson's Thriller and Namoi Campbell is a great commerical. Can't say I will drink the water but I love to watch...

The Secret Life of Bees---Coming to a Theater Near You Soon
