Singer GLENN LEONARD is best known for his time as a member of the iconic Motown group, The Temptations. Glenn joined The Temptations in 1975 as the first new member to join the group after their classic lineup had already achieved immense popularity.  During his time with The Temptations, the group released several successful albums, including "The Temptations Do the Temptations" (1976), "Bare Back" (1978), and "Power" (1980). Some of their notable hits from this era include "Happy People," "Shakey Ground," and "Power.” Glenn was a part of The Temptations "Reunion" tour and album in 1982, featuring The Classic Five lineup (excluding Paul Williams who had committed suicide in 1973 ). After parting ways with the group in 1983 and being replaced by Ron Tyson, Leonard became a born-again Christian, entered into full-time ministry and was licensed in 1986. He became ordained and received a doctorate degree in the early 1990s. He also pursued a successful solo career and today leads his own Temptation Revue Group. In this episode, Glenn Leonard relates the story of The Temptations that formed in 1960 in Detroit, Michigan. The band are widely regarded as one of the most influential and successful groups in the history of popular music. Known for their signature harmonies, electrifying performances, and iconic choreography, The Temptations became synonymous with the soulful Motown sound. Their timeless hits, including "My Girl," "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "Get Ready," and "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)," showcased their ability to seamlessly blend soul, pop, and funk, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. Glenn tells us that The Temptations received numerous accolades throughout their career, including induction into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. Their enduring music continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, and their contributions to the Motown era and soul music remain unparalleled. I hope you enjoy Glenn Leonard's story.

Ep. #22 - Andre Jackson is our third guest in our COVID-19 Survivor Series. SEVEN members of his family (including him) all contracted COVID-19 and everyone survived! Andre was born and raised in Washington, DC.  I was excited to learn that like me, he attended Cardozo High School. (Shout out to Cardozo Alumni!) He’s been married for 21 years, he’s a teacher, he sings with a local band, “Sudden M-Pac” and he’s sang with the former lead singer of the Temptations, Glenn Leonard & his Temptations Revue! Andre has also toured all over the world with the Temptations Revue in places like Germany, France, and Australia, and of course all over the United States! His career is both intriguing and exciting. In this episode we talk a little about what it’s like to be a teacher during these times, and how it feels when teaching and learning is no longer in a classroom. But the real story is how a night out with the family ended up being the same night when everyone was infected with the coronavirus. Andre tells us about his initial symptoms, testing, and what led him to go to the hospital. As members of his family got sick, the thing that scared him the most was when he learned his mother caught it. Listen as he shares what he and his family experienced and how they all beat COVID-19. (Much love and thanks to the staff and students at Westlawn Elementary in Falls Church, VA) Andre’s Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/andre.jackson.946517 Andre Performing on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7AARLuDpfM Westlawn Elementary School - https://www.facebook.com/pages/WestlawnElementary/1576311625923900 Black Owned Advertising – Angela Howze, Financial Aid Strategist Website - http://financialaidstrategist.com/

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Winner of America's Got Talent Season 6 Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.  Over 100 sold out concerts across three continents, from Caesars Palace to the Apollo Theater and all points in between. A debut CD from a Grammy winning producer that hit the top of the Billboard charts.  More than a million dollars raised for children's and homeless charities via his holiday CD and personal appearances. Performing duets with childhood heroes Patti Labelle and Glenn Leonard, the former lead vocalist from The Temptations. An international television audience of over 100 million touched by his amazing life story. And it all started in a very small town with a man who possessed a big dream and an even bigger voice. When Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. showed up to audition for NBC TV's America's Got Talent in 2010, he was singing to pass the time while grinding out a living washing cars in his hometown of Logan, WV (population 3,000) and the only “nice” clothes he owned were the ones on his back: a pair of jeans, a modest button down striped shirt and jacket. Fortunately, you don't need a slick wardrobe to win America's heart. You need talent and personality, and Landau has a great deal of both. Wowing the judges with his back story of homelessness and determination to succeed for his family, coupled with interpretations of classics from Cole Porter, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and others, Landau walked away with the million dollar grand prize in front of 14 million weekly viewers. According to show insiders, when all was said and done, Landau had won America's Got Talent by the biggest vote total in the show's history.           L        

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Leonard, Coleman & Blunt. Leonard, Coleman and Blunt have been around the world and back again several times each as the lead singers of three of the most legendary vocal groups of all time: the Temptations, Platters and Drifters. The three Washington, DC natives have a back-story right out of a Hollywood movie; Leonard, Coleman & Blunt grew up singing together in church and on street corners throughout the 1960s before finding fame and fortune separately, then reuniting after 30 years to harmonize together once again. Glenn Leonard and his sweet tenor voice joined Motown's legendary Temptations, recording ten hit albums, touring the world, and singing lead on many of their 1970s and 1980's R&B hits. Joe Coleman joined the Platters for a two-decade stint as the group's lead singer in addition to gaining a successful career as a songwriter and playwright. Joe Blunt performed and recorded with the Drifters for over a decade in venues all over the world alongside Ben E. King and Johnny Moore, earning a Lifetime Achievement Award from Sony Records. Concert attendees are treated to incredible showmanship, classic dance moves, and some of the biggest hits of all time, including “My Girl," “The Way You Do The Things You Do," “Get Ready,” “The Great Pretender,” “Only You,” “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” “Under The Boardwalk,” “On Broadway,” “Save The Last Dance For Me,” and many, many more.

LIVE from the Resort at Glade Springs, I talk with Landau Murphy Jr. Winner from NBC-TV's America's Got Talent We Talk Building Blocks & Life Lessons He Learned on the Way to Success & How He is Still a Work n Progress. Landau has a Positive Spirit! Over 100 sold out concerts across three continents, from Caesars Palace to the Apollo Theater and all points in between. A debut CD from a Grammy winning producer that hit the top of the Billboard charts. More than a million dollars raised for children’s and homeless charities via his holiday CD and personal appearances. Performing duets with childhood heroes Patti Labelle and Glenn Leonard, the former tenor vocalist from The Temptations. An international television audience of over 100 million touched by his amazing life story. And it all started in a very small town with a man who possessed a big dream and an even bigger voice. When Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. showed up to audition for NBC TV’s America’s Got Talent in 2010, he was singing to pass the time while grinding out a living washing cars in his hometown of Logan, WV (population 3,000) and the only “nice” clothes he owned were the ones on his back: a pair of jeans, a modest button down striped shirt and jacket. Fortunately, you don’t need a slick wardrobe to win America’s heart. You need talent and personality, and Landau has a great deal of both. Wowing the judges with his back story of homelessness and determination to succeed for his family, coupled with interpretations of classics from Cole Porter, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and others, Landau walked away with the million dollar grand prize in front of 14 million weekly viewers. According to show insiders, when all was said and done, Landau had won America’s Got Talent by the biggest vote total in the show’s history. In November 2011, Landau released his Columbia Records debut album “That’s Life.” The CD hit #1 on the Billboard Jazz chart in time for Christmas and was produced by Grammy winner Steve Tyrell, who also helmed Rod Stewart’s Great American Songbook album. Landau soon hit the road for his first ever tour, backed by an 18-piece big band, selling out performing arts centers, casinos, and theaters all over America. It was a dream come true for the always humble, gracious vocalist, who insisted that he come out after every show to meet his fans for photos and conversation. “Without them, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be anywhere.” For many winners of television talent competitions, the ride is short, but for Landau, four years after winning America’s Got Talent, things couldn’t be busier. A book co-authored with award-winning writer Rick Robinson chronicling Landau’s All-American success story titled “Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.: From Washing Cars to Hollywood Star” debuted at #1 on the Amazon.com Jazz Book chart, where it remained for several weeks during the 2013 holiday season, and was purchased by many as a companion piece to Landau’s second album “Christmas Made For Two.” © 2015 Building Abundant Success!! 2015 All Rights Reserved "LIKE" my Facebook Page ~ Facebook.com/BuildingAbundantSuccess
