On 24 March, a collaboration between Acid Jazz Records and the Flying Dutchman label sees the release of veteran soul singer Billy Valentine's new album. The first album of new music on the iconic jazz label since 1976. Billy Valentine & The Universal Truth features testifying renditions of eight message songs, with Valentine's emphatic, lissome voice drawing upon the soul-jazz legacy of such Flying Dutchman singer and songwriters as Gil Scot-Heron and Leon Thomas. In addition to songs by these two extraordinary talents, the album also features songs originally written and recorded by Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Eddie Kendricks, War, and Prince. Billy Valentine may not be a household name but should be familiar to most from Simply Red's 1983 Rendition of the Valentine Brothers' ‘Money's Too Tight (To Mention)'. Originally written and recorded by Billy and his brother John, the song was a protest against President Ronald Reagan's economic policies. Around the time of performing with the Valentine Brothers, Billy's recognition as a songwriter emerged after penning songs for other artists such as Will Jennings, Ray Charles, and the Neville Brothers. After the demise of the Valentine Brothers, Billy struck up a songwriting partnership with Bob Thiele, Jr. (son of Flying Dutchman Records' founder, Bob Thiele), which led to him singing demos for Warner Chappell songwriters, such as Gerry Goffin, Mark Isham, Burt Bacharach, and Hal David. Singing demos opened doors for Valentine to work in television and movies. His vocals can be heard in such works as: the 1991 classic movie, The Five Heartbeats, and songs produced for TV series including Boston Legal and, with Thiele, Jr., on music composed for the television show, Sons of Anarchy. Now, after several decades spent working together, Valentine and long-time collaborator Thiele Jr. present Billy Valentine & The Universal Truth. Produced by Thiele Jr., the album recording began at Hollywood's legendary East-West Studios (Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, Elvis Presley's ‘68 Comeback Special, Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On and Michael Jackson's Thriller) right before the coronavirus pandemic. As the album session proceeded, the world erupted in protest after the May 2020 murder of George Floyd, adding to the poignancy of the recordings with the songs taking on a new urgency. Having always been drawn to message songs – Valentine remembers witnessing the civil rights protests through the Deep South in the United States, the Kent State University shootings in 1970, and the Vietnam War and its devastating aftermath on many military veterans returning to civilian life – the album's selection of songs' specific topics and themes speak to modern times. In particular, the rise of the Black Lives Matter after the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who murdered Trayvon Martin; the polarizing presidency of Donald Trump, which ended with the violent uprising at the Capitol Building; and the rise in gun violence amidst economic and social disparities, all made more apparent during the height of the pandemic. Opening with a plaintive makeover of Curtis Mayfield's 1970s ‘We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue', a sobering ballad about projecting racial pride and Black humanity in the face of insurmountable odds, the theme continues on Valentine's righteous rendition of Eddie Kendricks' 1972 Black Power anthem, ‘My People Hold On'.

He was there BEFORE his Parents won these & learned the Roots & Blessings & Pitfalls of Stardom from childhood. Of Chicago PD, Ronn says "NBC and Dick Wolf paid me the highest honor by using my song, “I Want Your Loving” as the opening song for Season 9/episode 11 entitled “Lies."He is a great vocalist, actor, writer, historian plus!!Ronn David knows more than anyone that he has a lot to live up to. He has his Vocal Gift! The son of Ruth Brown, the Queen of Rhythm and Blues and Clyde McPhatter, the founder and lead vocalist of The Drifters. His Dad is in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Billy Ward's Dominoes & The Drifters.Ruth Brown used her influence to press for musicians' rights regarding royalties and contracts; these efforts led to the founding of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. Her performances in the Broadway musical Black and Blue earned Brown a Tony Award, and the original cast recording won a Grammy Award. Brown was a recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. In 2017, Brown was inducted into National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. She is also the aunt to legendary hip hop MC Rakim.He's toured with artists as varied as Bonnie Raitt and Rick James, performed three times at The White House and often pays tribute to his famous dad in concert by performing Drifters classics like “On Broadway” and “Under The Boardwalk” with his own contemporary twist), movies Ronn clearly enjoying singing side by side, then eye-to-eye with Halle Berry in “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” and appearing in other great music-in-movies films about The Temptations, Little Richard and The Five Heartbeats ), and television (a young Ronn worked with the legendary comic Redd Foxx on his final TV show). Now, Ronn is now poised to take his silky vocal stylings to radio stations, on-line portals and dance clubs across the USA.Ronn David knows what it takes to make it in the music business…and it all begins with a great song. “I Want Your Lovin'”, Ronn's a single from his upcoming album, is that song.Impossibly catchy, smoothly soulful and with a ready-made dance poised to fill the floor at clubs and parties from coast-to-coast, “I Want Your Lovin'” just may give Ronn David something he richly deserves; the opportunity to shine as brightly as his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame parents stars. “I love and respect what my parents accomplished very much; but like most folks, I want to make my own mark on the world And for me, a big part of that is to make my music and succeed on my own merits”, says Ronn with an easy smile from his Los Angeles home, a stone's throw away from Hollywood Boulevard and the Capitol Records studio where his folks recorded some of their biggest hits. Ronn David is also a proud Howard University Alumni!Turns out Ronn is far too modest about what he's already accomplished on his own. David is already a triple-threat veteran of music.RonnDavid.com© 2023 All Rights Reserved© 2023 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASJoin me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

I hope you enjoy this, and here are the 104 Movie movies in this tournament: Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996)The Last Dragon (1985)Undercover Brotha (2002)i'm gonna git you sucka (1988)Do the Right Thing (1989moonlight (2016)The Meteor Man (1993)Get Out (2017)South Central (1992)Black Panther (2018)Blankman (1994)Friday (1995)Ali (2001)Love & Basketball (2000)A Low Down Dirty Shame (1994)John Q (2002)For Colored Girls (2010)What's Love Got To Do With It (1993)He Got Game (1998)Juice (1992)Notorious (2009)Harlem Nights (1989)Why Do Fools Fall in Love (1998)Poetic Justice (1993)I Can Do Bad All by Myself (2009)The Wood (1999)Think Like A Man (2012)The Preacher's Wife (1996)Friday After Next (2002)Life (1999)All About the Benjamins (2002)Boyz n the Hood (1991)How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998)Menace II Society (1993)Boomerang (1992)The Best Man (1999)Hustle & Flow (2005)Straight Outta Compton (2015)Hollywood Shuffle (1987)New Jack City (1991)The Brothers (2001)Lean on Me (1989)CB4 (1994)Waiting to Exhale (1995)Drumline (2002)Soul Food (1997)Major Payne (1995)Set It Off (1996)Belly (1998)Coach Carter (2005)Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005)Baby Boy (2001)Two Can Play That Game (2001)ATL (2006)Training Day (2001)American Gangster (2007)Just Wright (2010)The Five Heartbeats (1991)Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993)House Party (1990)Cooley High (1975)Bad Boys (1995)The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)The Color Purple (1985)Dreamgirls (2006)Paid in Full (2002)Brown Sugar (2002)Coming to America (1988)Stomp the Yard (2007)Jason's Lyric (1994)Mo' Money (1992)The Help (2011)How to Be a Player (1997)The Bodyguard (1992)the great debaters (2007)Next Friday (2000)Class Act (1992)Purple Rain (1984)The Wiz (1978)Sister Act (1992)Glory (1989)Hidden Figures (2016)Remember the Titans (2000)12 Years a Slave (2013)Barbershop (2002)Daddy's Little Girls (2007)The Players Club (1998)Higher Learning (1995)Booty Call (1997)A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996)Antwone Fisher (2002)Ray (2004)42 (2013)Blackkklansman (2018)Dead Presidents (1995)Malcolm X (1992)Bébé's Kids (1992)Bad Boys II (2003)Crooklyn (1994)Above the Rim (1997)The Princess and the Frog (2009)Love Jones (1997)Why Did I Get Married?
