I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today. His incredible voice and his kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance. He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast. He made me so comfortable, as I was just learning to sing in English. He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life. His voice and his talent will be missed…
My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo.
Love,
Celine xx…
In 2006, LeToya Luckett was the first artist to have her video hold the number-one spot on BET's 106 & Park countdown for twenty-five straight days since 2003 and the first female artist to do so since 2001 for her song "Torn."
Her debut solo album, LeToya, was also the first album from a Destiny's Child member to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart since Beyoncé's solo debut.
Lupita Nyong'o is not the first Black woman to portray Helen of Troy.
The first was Eartha Kitt, personally chosen by Orson Welles, in a play performed in Paris in 1950.
