We will never see this kinda talent again. We talk about the black church so much on here but that groomed all of the talent for generations. That’s how we learned how to sing

Yes sir....I mentioned this to my wife. How even american idol had to switch it up cause all these brothas and sistad from church backgrounds were dominating.

 

[Originalman]

This is true. Tom Joyner mentioned that the sista Aretha was one of the first women and first black women artist that made sure to have total control of her image and pay.

 

[Originalman]

Amen

It’s a shame that mainstream R&B doesn’t even prioritize that anymore. If I’m looking for talent I’d be looking right at people who came up in the church

I love how the goats could all effortless change their music with the times

Same chick grooving to a neo soul cut was up in the 70s doing her thing

lol not sure why anyone would even care about the opinion of a non black person when it comes to Black Music.

The stupidest part is that Rock and Roll is Black music too and those bytches ain't in the conversation on that either. Teena Marie would have choked both of those bytches out, without Re-Re having to lift a finger.
