Throwback Thursday

Etta James and the PERFECT Cat’s Eye

Etta James and the PERFECT Cat’s Eye

Etta James may have had a cherubic face — but listen to that voice. And check out that cat’s eye. Etta was BAD and letting us know in her own inimitable way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzibSiJv8hc Drink that in, cause they don’t make it like that anymore. I first featured that video in a Throwback Thursday in 2008,…

Marvin Gaye – Gone But Never Forgotten

April 1, 2010 by afrobella 8 Comments

Marvin Gaye – musical innovator, truth teller, soul singer, Trouble Man. Today marks 26 years since Marvin passed away. Tomorrow would have been his 71st birthday. I paid homage to Marvin in this Lost Ones post — I gave up writing that series because it ached to work on it. That post in particular got…

Throwback Thursday – Songs That Heal and Protect

March 4, 2010 by afrobella 4 Comments

This has been one of those weeks where I wish I could just go back to Monday and start over. I’ve been pretty much flat in bed, drinking Nyquil by night and Dayquil by day. Yup, I’m sick and on top of that the deadlines and e mails don’t ever stop when you work for…

RIP, Teddy Pendergrass

This has been an awful, awful week for bad news. Today apparently is no exception. I just woke up to learn that R&B legend Teddy Pendergrass has passed away.

July 2, 2009 by afrobella 18 Comments

Like many of my peers in the blogosphere, I’ve been trying my best to move on. But it’s hard. I still can’t quite believe — a week ago, Michael Jackson passed away. Even typing that phrase feels wrong. I wrote a tribute from the depths of my heart and then tried to look away from…

RIP, Koko Taylor

June 4, 2009 by afrobella 4 Comments

I know I just moved to Chicago, but I’ve already witnessed the power of the blues. One of the first things I did as I hit the city was head to Buddy Guy’s, and you can feel the spirit of legends in the air. Tragically, one of those Chicago blues legends passed away yesterday. Koko…

Throwback Thursday — Althea and Donna

April 9, 2009 by afrobella 11 Comments

Bellas in the Seventies knew how to do it! The golden era of natural hair gave me much hair and style inspiration. Today I want to shine a light on two underrated pioneers in the Jamaican reggae scene, Althea and Donna. In the Seventies, the late great producer Joe Gibbs made 17 year old Althea…
