On Friday, September 14, 1973, Sly & The Family Stone delivered a soulful, harmonized performance of "Everybody Is A Star" live on the late-night musical variety show, The Midnight Special, broadcasting a powerful message of universal self-worth and resilience.

Seamlessly trading lead vocals across the stage, while blending funk, soul, and communal harmony, Sly & The Family Stone showcased their individual possession of an inherent inner light.

"Everybody is a star, I can feel it when you shine on me." — Rose Stone, @HigherSlyStone’s sister

In this candid sit-down from BET’s Teen Summit (“Bad Boy Special”) on February 10, 1996, hosted by the late Ananda Lewis and Durik "Prince" DaJour, a 22-year-old @FaithEvans breaks down the reality behind her swift rise at Bad Boy Records, firmly rejecting the industry myth that she was an overnight success by highlighting her twenty years of singing and behind-the-scenes vocal arranging.

She addresses the intense media pressure surrounding her life, flatly dismissing rumors that her marriage to The Notorious B.I.G. was a calculated label publicity stunt. Additionally, Faith speaks with deep admiration for Mary J. Blige, explaining how they consciously chose sisterhood and mutual artistic respect over the toxic, media-manufactured rivalries often forced upon women in R&B.

“I know it sounds easy, but I've been singing since I was two. That's twenty years... It wasn't overnight. It's just from the time that I met the right person—he saw the potential, so he wasn't going to waste any time letting other people hear it... I don't feel as if I'm doing anything extra great; I'm just doing what I do."
— Faith Evans, refuting the narrative that her placement on the charts and inside the Bad Boy camp was handed to her effortlessly

During the 1993 “Uptown Unplugged” taping at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, @Jodeci delivered this unforgettable live interpretation of Stevie Wonder’s “Lately.” JoJo Hailey was only 21 years old when the performance was filmed, and when the special aired on MTV on Monday, May 31, 1993, he was just ten days away from his 22nd birthday on June 10.

JoJo’s controlled tenor, layered harmonies, smooth phrasing, and emotional restraint were essential to Jodeci’s vocal architecture. “Lately” became the group’s fourth No. 1 R&B single and its highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 recording, reaching No. 4, before winning the 1994 Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single by a Group, Band or Duo.

Written and originally recorded by @StevieWonder, “Lately” was already a masterwork of suspicion, heartbreak, and emotional inevitability, but Jodeci didn’t just reproduce it. Four young Foundational Black American men—K-Ci’s fire, JoJo’s ache, DeVanté’s musical vision, and Dalvin’s rhythmic foundation—drew upon the Black American Gospel quartet tradition to transform the song’s quiet dread into a testimony of complete emotional surrender. https://t.co/HaEh0fBapZ

On Friday, December 2, 1988, ABC News’ “20/20” aired an archival investigative segment that revisited one of the most painful parts of Jackie Wilson’s story: not only the tragic 1975 onstage collapse that left him severely incapacitated, but the financial exploitation, royalty disputes, debt, and legal battles that surrounded his name while his music continued to generate value.

The report examined allegations tied to Brunswick Records and Wilson’s longtime manager Nat Tarnopol, including disputed royalty accounting, questionable advances, and contested songwriting and publishing issues. Tarnopol and other Brunswick executives had been convicted in 1976 in a federal case before those convictions were later overturned on appeal, but public summaries of the case still describe a record of evidence around artists being deprived of royalties.

That is what makes the Jackie Wilson story so devastating. Here was a man whose voice helped build the bridge between Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, Pop, and Soul; whose records kept moving through radio, film, reissues, and cultural memory; and yet the wealth connected to that catalog became tangled in contracts, accounting, debt, and legal systems he could no longer personally fight.

This is not just a Jackie Wilson story. It is part of a larger Black Music History pattern: Black artists creating catalogs that feed the world while labels, managers, publishers, estates, tax burdens, bad contracts, and industry gatekeepers often control, delay, dispute, or drain the money attached to that genius.

Remembering Jackie Wilson means honoring “Mr. Excitement,” the voice, the body, the stage fire, and the records. But it also means remembering the business side of the archive: the receipts, the missing royalties, the disputed ownership, the family aftermath, and the industry systems that too often separated Black American brilliance from the wealth it created.

Just want to take this time to thank the MJ fans who have been tirelessly fighting the phony allegations and narrative of lies for decades. Outsiders will never know how hard it is to be ridiculed, teased, bullied and questioned for rightfully standing up for MJ..
I’m letting you know now that I clearly see you and appreciate you.
We have fought side by side on the battlefield many times together. And we still have those battle scars to prove it. Just know, You will always have my deepest respect and appreciation.

It is easy to stand next to someone when everything is going great. But when things get rough and they truly need you, “Will you be there”?

My answer was always yes for my uncle Michael. And will always be.
