The Philadelphia born, R&B soul singer, Teddy Pendergrass passed away yesterday at the age of 59. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Pendergrass had colon cancer surgery 8 months ago and had a difficult recovery. He will be sorely missed but definitely not forgotten. My favorite Teddy Pendergrass cuts:

1. The Love I Lost. (Performed by Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes)
2. I Don’t Love You Anymore.
3. Close The Door.

Wanna know how I know those Teddy Pendergrass jams? My parents raised me listening to good music! That’s what’s up. Rest in Peace, Teddy, we’ll miss you!

Gone too soon. After what police are saying was some kind of domestic dispute, Chris Henry has died as result of injuries sustained from falling out of a pick up truck. He was a receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. Let’s lift up his family up in prayer.

**I know that we all go through stuff in life, but if the people in your lives are bringing you drama, get out before its too late.**

May Chris Henry Rest In Peace.

Everybody needs somebody who inspires them–who gives them something to shoot for. E. Lynn Harris was a prolific author who developed the courage to talk about his life and homosexuality in the African American community. He wrote vividly and created unforgettable characters. A lot of my youth readers are probably unfamiliar with E. Lynn Harris, but I decided to put his info on my page today because I wanted to share with you a great author who inspired me. You ever wonder what keeps me motivated? People like E. Lynn Harris motivate me. I want to send prayers up for his soul and blessings to his family. Our thoughts are with them.

RIP E. Lynn Harris.
