After watching “Unsung” (TV One), I had to give a shout out to Stacey Lattisaw. Stacey was an R&B artist in the 80’s who was extremely underrated. I commend Stacey for following her heart and not selling her soul to continue a singing career. I wish more would have her strength and do what’s right vs. doing what’s profitable.

Anyhoo check out one of her classics “Let Me Be Your Angel”

(She was 14 when she recorded this song!)

Thank you Martin Luther King Jr. for your hard work and persistence.

The sacrifices he made for us and still so many take it for granted today.

Check out the thicksational throwback………

“King’s Holiday”

Keke is back! She is very underrated and one of the best vocalist of our generation.

Before I take you back to the first song that made her popular, let me give you a taste of what this girl can do.

Check her out!

Um yeah no studio equipment and no music. Just raw talent!

Now here’s the Thicksational Throwback “My First Love” by Avant Ft. Keke Wyatt (she recorded this song at 18 years old).

Mo’Nique turns 42 today! I am so proud of her accomplishments this year. Her acting was phenomenal in “Precious” and her talk show continues to improve. I have a feeling 2010 will be the year of Mo’Nique!

Check out her classic comedy skit Skinny B*tches are evil (not safe for work).

Faith Evans vocals are amazing and in my opinion she does not receive the respect she truly deserves. So let’s take it back to 1995 with her first single “You Use to Love Me”

I decided to give the thick men some love today! I miss Luther. His voice was like no other! Check out his classic “Love Won’t Let Me Wait”

It is still very hard for me to accept that MJ is gone and his birthday is tomorrow so that doesn’t make it easier. I wanted to share some videos of Michael that truly showed the natural God give talent he had, the human/brother/good man he was and the LEGEND that will never be forgotten.

THE GIFT THAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY GOD.

MJ was a natural!

THE HUMAN

The media and negative people of the world forgot that Michael was human.

THE LEGEND

There will never be another Michael Jackson. He was the KING OF MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT!

Cecelia Peniston was born in Dayton, Ohio and moved to Phoenix, Arizona at the age of nine. She attended Trevor Browne High School in Phoenix and later took to entering beauty pageants where she was crowned Miss Black Arizona in 1989. CeCe’s music career began in 1990 when she signed to A&M Records and got her initial exposure doing featured vocals on Phoenix female rapper Overweight Pooch’s 1991 single “I Like It”.

Among the list of those who have personally requested Peniston at private engagements are Aretha Franklin at her private birthday celebration in Detroit, Michigan, Pope John Paul II in Rome at The Vatican, and President Bill Clinton at both of his inauguration ceremonies in Washington, D.C.

Following the abolition of apartheid, Peniston was the first female entertainer to visit and perform in South Africa. (Source: Wikipedia)

Here’s one of my favorites “Keep On Walkin”

Janet J is 43 today! Happy Birthday Janet and to all my

THICKSATIONAL TAURUS!

Here’s a classic from Janet with Herb Alpert called Diamonds. Check out the little thickette in the video. Even though I didn’t audition, I was so upset that I wasn’t picked for this video. She did good but I knew I could do it better lol! Have a great weekend thickettes!

 

Jazmine Sullivan turns 22 today! Here’s a video of her when she was 15 singing “Sunshine”. Can you tell me anybody in the music industry right now who can touch Jaz’s vocals?
