Blessed and Highly Favored

For years these women have been gracing the platforms and pulpits of our Churches, singing for our elite and, stirring us up with their individual gifts and their collective gift as a family.

These women have not only trail blazed the way for many of today's entertainers and new inductees in the gospel recording industry, but they have also become great industry, and style icons. Pushing the envelope, and having us love it every step of the way! Literally through sickness and pain, storm and rain these women have made it!

It would be very difficult for you to interview any current artist who would not list the Clark sisters as a group they listened to growing up, or currently listen to now. These women have influenced the local church as well as the various genres of abroad. We were all taken at a pause when these sisters announced that they were releasing their last project entitle "The Clark Sisters One Last Time." With great response these women seen that the world was not ready to let go of them yet and since then these women have gone on to record more music for the world to enjoy.

To think all this was birthed out of  one woman's dream and vision for her family, and though she(the late great Mattie Moss Clark) may be passed and not with us she lives on through her daughters and the next generation that they are bringing up!

My introduction to Ledisi

Okay Those of you who know me know I really don't follow or listen to much secular music. One reason is I feel the music is dying slowly and its like we are all watching it be murdered in slow motion but cant seem to move our feet to aid it. I was way to over impressed when I heard the sounds of a woman who took me back to my musical roots within a thirty second time frame.

LEDISI! Ladies and Gentlemen, I was floored overwhelmed and jaw dropped in one setting! This chicks voice is convicting and nurturing all at the same time, while giving sound guidance and still sever enough to slap you! In this case to be abused was okay as she embraced me and then assaulted me and then made me believe and know it was my fault as I hit the repeat button so she could do it all over again!

Woman with a sense of style

I'm not here to discuss lyrics, rhyme content, subliminal messages or explicit suggestion right now. I'm also not one to tune into music these days as my personal feelings on the issue is that music is dead. I have been introduced to the entity of Nicki Minaj. Say what you want, and think what you will, this woman most defiantly has a sense of style! I don't know if its her stylist that her label has given her, or if she has a team  of well tuned members keeping her together, but whatever it is, it works and you cant take that away from her.

If you were to google her name the ream of photos would be endless all artistic in some nature. I enjoy her most without the eight inch thick bang so it was no question as to why I chose this picture. I must say upfront I am not a fan of her music but more her sense of style, ANYONE who can rock a serious multi colored cut, or green hair and make it look good gets two thumbs up in my book!
