I’m so glad Ridge finally grew a backbone and stood up to Brooke’s ridiculous demand to be co-CEO. Steffy has earned that gig but she could stand to ease up on Hope 🤣 @BandB_CBS
I saw all these people with picket signs headed downtown so I thought I’d see what it was all about - after I stopped by Marshall’s - but I guess I too long because this ain’t it 🤣
Today was a great day to talk about Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding and Ruby Johnson with the woman who worked with all of them - the effervescent Deanie Parker!!!!
I was awarded the inaugural Publicist of the Year award from the Gospel Industry Coalition (GIC) at an event at @Trevecca in Nashville!!! Many thanks to @drthairston and her board for the honor!
The Ice Man - Jerry Butler - Cometh for 85 years with freezers of stone-cold musings on the vagaries of love. The acid-throated Gwen McCrae redefined women’s sexual liberation with a string of gems like He Don’t Ever Lose His Groove and the million-seller: Rocking Chair. #Gone
Country music is some of the most soulful music ever sung. Check out my @Spotify Americana Soul playlist that features some great examples by Candi Staton, The Civil Wars, Bonnie Raitt, Keb’Mo, Chris Stapleton etc.

@joseph_cronin I just watched “Hitler: Countdown to War” for the first time. It’s an excellent documentary! Your observations and commentary were poignant and insightful. Keep fighting against antisemitism and prejudice!
I’m sad about this… I love JD Souther’s charming songs like You’re Only Lonely and Her Town with JT. Also, the great songs he penned for The Eagles!

With all the talk about Dolly Parton’s original version of JOLENE and Beyoncé’s excellent new version, I just wanted to mention another fine version by Candi Staton back in 1973.

It was an enormous honor to be interviewed for this upcoming TV-documentary about the legendary Candi Staton. Her music and career deserves all the attention in the world.
Tune in this Sunday on TV One!
