Regina Belle drove to the hospital to see Peabo Bryson days before he passed.
She sat beside him, held his hand and whispered A Whole New World, the same song they recorded together for Aladdin in 1992. The song that won them both a Grammy. The song that made millions fall in love.
If you don’t do anything today, watch Lynn Whitfield’s performance of Josephine Baker in the Josephine Baker Story it is phenomenal and it’s on YouTube.
When Mamdani was running, CNN had plenty of segments about how he was unqualified and inexperienced to be mayor. Now they’re giving reality TV star Spencer Pratt positive coverage and openly rooting for him, lol.
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
“The best of romances deserve second chances. I’ll get to ya somehow cause I promise nowwwwww…
If ever you’re in my arms again”
Listen. Peabo was one of the original I-will-sing-my-face-off-and-you-will-eat-it-up brothas. 💔
Peabo Bryson, James Ingram, Luther Vandross, Freddie Jackson etc represent a certain kind of polished 80s R&B that it feels like we’ve lost in the years since. Rest in peace to a king of the quiet storm.
Beautiful gag in How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) where Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall are fantasizing about marrying a wealthy man and then it cuts to Betty Grable who is just dreaming about a delicious sandwich
this man's legacy is so much more than Disney. SO much.
Show and Tell. Closer than Close. Can You Stop the Rain. If Ever You're in my Arms Again. Feel the Fire. I Wish You Love.
A whole quiet storm LEGEND.
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…
