Verve Remixed - Carmen McRae - How Long Has This Been Going On (MJ Cole Remix)

#CarmenMcRae #VerveRemixed How Long Has This Been Going On? Written: 1927 Music by: George Gershwin Words by: Ira Gershwin Written for but cut from Funny Face (show, 1927) then introduced on Broadway in Rosalie (show, 1928) George and Ira Gershwin originally wrote "How Long Has This Been Going On?" for a scene in the 1927 musical at first titled Smarty, later, before its Broadway opening, changed to Funny Face. The early history of that show was a kind of "whose on first?" routine.  The show's initial out-of-town tryout was in Philadelphia where it was called Smarty. "How Long Has This Been Going On?" was introduced there on October 11, 1927, by Adele Astaire and Stanley Ridges.  Ira recalls in his memoir Lyrics on Several Occasions, that he and George wrote it (the words according to James Morris, having been written to fit the music) for a "situation" -- specifically, "a first kiss." Apparently, the song didn...

Jim Carrey explains a few of his favorite anti-Trump drawings

#JimCarrey #P oliticalArt  is not exactly packed with nuance. His drawings, which include  “The Wicked Witch of the West Wing and Putin’s Flying Monkeys”  and  a portrait of Jared Kushner  surrounded by flames with dollar signs in his eyes, are pretty much exactly what they say on the tin. Nonetheless, they remain wildly popular, and so the  Vulture  asked the actor to explain what a few of his favorite pieces meant. Speaking on a panel at the recent Vulture Festival, Carrey explained the hidden meaning behind a few choice works, giving you the context to fully appreciate his vision.  Christianity, Trump style: “Jesus was a loser. A failed carpenter. He's a savior because he was crucified. I like people that weren't crucified.” https://t.co/NrLGWEXcRi pic.twitter.com/tiSCoPdTpX — Jim Carrey (@JimCarrey) June 25, 2018 This one, complete with a mocking quote, seems pretty direct, but Carrey will send the message on home to you if ...

America's racial reckoning is putting a spotlight on Black mental health

    #BlackMentalHealth #African-American #BlackAmericanTherapy #Triple5LightTherapy # TripleLight.com   The pandemic, economic anxiety, and reignited fights on racist structures have created a “mental health tsunami” in the Black community. By   Doha Madani As a child, Reginald Howard struggled with destructive visions, moments where he imagined destroying the shelves at the corner store or pushing another child down, but when he tried to identify what was happening, his mother attributed it to his “Howard blood.” “At that point, I probably should have been in therapy but because there’s such a stigma behind therapy in the Black community, and around the world but I’ll start within my community, I really didn’t get the help that I needed,” Howard said. His father also struggled with mental illness, a situation that led Howard’s grandmother to refer to him and his sister as “demon children.” Howard’s mental health went unaddressed as a child and he con...

Family demands release of evidence in Breonna Taylor’s case

#BreonnaTaylor #GrandJury #Police #BlackWoman #BlackAmerican #Justice4Breonna By CLAIRE GALOFARO, PIPER HUDSPETH BLACKBURN and ANGIE WANG LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Breonna Taylor’s family demanded Friday that Kentucky authorities release all body camera footage, police files and the transcripts of the grand jury proceedings that led to no charges being brought against police officers who killed the Black woman during a raid at her apartment. The decision disappointed and angered those who have been calling for justice for Taylor for six months, and protesters vowed to stay in the streets until all the officers involved are fired or someone is charged with her killing. A diverse group, including Taylor’s mother, marched through Louisville on Friday evening. The protests were peaceful, though at one point, police in riot gear fired flash bang devices to turn back a crowd on a street. Two were arrested, authorities said. About a dozen people who were out past the city’s 9 p.m. curfew were ar...

How Kate Bush Saved Me from Being a “Normal Girl”

#KateBush #TheKickInside  #ThisWomansWork #WutheringHeights I first encountered Kate Bush when I was about 17. I was part of the dance program at my school, and our teacher, the much beloved Mr. M., had the most sophisticated taste in music. Sinéad O’Connor, Ani DiFranco, Imogen Heap, and Meshell Ndegeocello scored our warm-ups and across-the-floors, the throbbing bassline of “If That’s Your Boyfriend (He Wasn’t Last Night)” rattling the studio’s chandelier; and at our annual dance concert, a two-night-only affair at a theatre on the Upper West Side, a crowd of sixth graders would twirl around to Bulgarian folk music and Sigur Rós. If I’d joined the company in a bid to belong—to disappear into a synchronized corps—its soundtrack had, over time, yielded an equal and opposite reaction. Without a doubt, my developing taste for alternative-Euro-art-rock was only making me more weird. Kate Bush, who celebrates her 61st birthday today, was another one of Mr. M.’s beguilin...

Rachelle Ferrell - I can explain (Live)

#ICanExplain #RachelleFerrell #RnB #Jazz  Ferrell is a gifted vocalist whose recordings have found her playing two separate roles: contemporary jazz pianist/vocalist and sophisticated R&B chanteuse. The latter style has gained her far more fame, but it's with the former that her fluid, multi-octave voice is free to stretch out. Her unusual scatting puts a fresh spin on a sometimes familiar style. It took a lot of hard work for Ferrell to break out in the Urban and Smooth Jazz markets, but it paid off with the success of 2000's Individuality (Can I Be Me?). To say that the voice of singer, Rachelle Ferrell, is supple would be to understate its magnificence. Ms. Ferrel's voice has a 6-octave range which conveys deep and surprising levels of emotion. Look, I'm telling you With a heavy heart Don't know quite where to start Said that, no one has ever loved me like you do Like you do woo wo woo You treated me Like you just don't care But we both k...

This TikTok Has Everyone Listening to Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams' Again

  Fleetwood Mac 's "Dreams" cruised to No. 1 on the   Billboard Hot 100  in 1977. Forty-three years later, TikTok user @420doggface208 is jamming to the hit while cruising on his skateboard, and it's gaining rotation again. @420doggface208 Morning vibe  ##420souljahz   ##ec   ##feelinggood   ##h2o   ##cloud9   ##happyhippie   ##worldpeace   ##king   ##peaceup   ##merch   ##tacos   ##waterislife   ##high   ##morning   ##710   ##cloud9 ♬ original sound - gillytheanswer In the short clip that's already received 2.7 million views on the social platform, he's seen boarding on the road, lip-syncing to "Dreams" and drinking from an entire bottle of cranberry juice.
