Absegami High School alumni Barbara Sheree has taken the world by storm during the past five years.

She has released a successful R&B CD that has received constant airplay on local FM stations 91.7 WLFR and 96.1 FM WTTH. Sheree has performed for millions live during the broadcast of NBC’s hit show Clash Of The Choirs in 2007. Sheree killed her cover of Mary J. Blige’s “No More Drama” on the Clash’s highest rated /finale night. Sheree has also been on a Christmas Special with Patti Label, opened for Keith Sweat, and the list of doors opened by her great voice and warm personality grows.

Now, while Sheree is headlining nightly in a luxury hotel in Morroco, her voice is primed to help President Barack Obama as he seeks another term in office. A few famous dance remix producers have taken Sheree’s vocal on the song “Yes We Can” written for President Obama, and have people moving on the dance floor like never before.

In today’s world right after people hear the song in the club or on the radio or here on Patch, they can go right to iTunes and buy the download. What makes Sheree’s “Yes We Can” even more interesting is that when you buy the dance song by download a portion of the proceeds will go directly to President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.

Since Sheree was unable to be on video herself this time around, I spoke to her manager and Absecon resident, Robert Williams.

Play runs from 2/3/12-2/25/12. Held at The Angino Family Theatre, 223 Walnut St. Harrisburg, PA.

It was produced on Broadway on October 11, 1984 and starred Charles S. Dutton as Levee and Theresa Merritt as Ma. Direction was by Lloyd Richards, one of August Wilson's longest collaborators. It received the 1985 Tony Award nomination for Best Play; Dutton and Merrit were nominated for acting awards. The show ran for 276 performances.

It was first performed in the UK at the National Theatre in London in 1989 in a production by Howard Davies starring Clark Peters and Hugh Quarshie as Toledo and Levee.[1] It was enormously well received.

A Broadway revival opened on February 6, 2003 at the Royale Theatre, featuring Charles S. Dutton as Levee and Whoopie Goldberg as Ma. Directed by Marion McClinton, the show ran for 68 performances.

Subsequent UK revivals have taken place in Liverpool at the Playhouse (2004, direction: Gemma Bodinetz) and the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre in a production starring Antonio Fargas as Toledo, Ram John Holder as Slow Drag and Johnnie Fiori as Ma (2006, direction: Jacob Murray).

TMarquise Entertainment will be honored 1/22 as the recipient of the Entrepreneur of the Year award. The event will be held at Clarion Inn & Suites, 342 E. White Horse Pike, Absecon, NJ starting at 3 pm. Tickets are $30. Hosted by Mover and Shakers of South Jersey a Networking Organization.

Pleasantville actor stays busy

Pleasantville High School Class of 1997 member Leonard Dozier, a graduate of Fordham University with a theater degree, has been busy as an actor, voiceover artist and singer/songwriter this year.

He just landed a role in a Hollywood film called "Turning Point," about ethnic prejudices among various black communities in the U.S., he said.

Dozier, 32, who lives in Egg Harbor City, starred as African-American founding father and founder of the A.M.E. church Richard Allen in the documentary "Apostle of Freedom," which opened last February. That same month he starred as Boy Willie in August Wilson's "The Piano Lesson" at Open Stage in Harrisburg, Pa., and began his stint as the new voice for Boomtown Casino in New Orleans.

Listen for his song "This Thanksgiving," on Christian radio stations soon, he said. Leonard currently is running a Facebook campaign called "Vote for Leonard Dozier as Magic Johnson (on Broadway)." For more information visit www.leonarddozier.com

Leonard Dozier landed a role in the new Hollywood film called "Turning Point". Leonard will play the character Dollar Rain. Movie will be shot in New York City and Nigeria. It will have both domestic and international distribution.
 
Set in New York, the plot of the movie explores ethnic prejudice amongst the various black communities in America (a la “Crash”) and centers around a Nigerian investment banker that bows to family pressure to abandon his American sweetheart for an arranged wife from back home. His life is turned upside-down when the marriage turns out not too rosy, setting off a chain of events that forces him to confront his reckless past.

This week’s headlilne comes from the Pointer Sisters’ 1982 pop song of the same name. It’s one of those few songs that was released twice and was an even bigger hit the second time around.

Yes, as the summer begins to wind down, I am more excited than ever over new music technology, new bands, new venues — and that the shore still has room for the classics.

Team LaBelle’ Kellam brings soulful sounds to Hard Rock

On Sunday, July 31 at 9:00 p.m., 107.9 WRNB radio personalities Dyana Williams and MoShay LaRen will host a night of “pure soul” at the Hard Rock Café, 11th and Market streets, featuring Grammy-nominated duo Helen Bruner and Terry Jones. The evening, which benefits Autism Now, will also feature Billboard recording artist Barbara Sheree Kellam.

If Kellam looks familiar, it’s because in 2007 she was the dynamic soloist for Team LaBelle in the NBC vocal competition “Clash of the Choirs.” Hand-picked by multiple Grammy winner Patti LaBelle, Kellam delivered a passionate rendition of Mary J. Blige’s “No More Drama” in the final performance. While Team LaBelle finished second to Nick Lachey’s choir, Kellam demonstrated that she had both the vocal power and the stage presence that are synonymous with the name Patti LaBelle, and says that competing on “Clash of the Choirs” was a life-changing experience.

“I knew that I wanted to sing before ‘Clash of the Choirs,’ because I had been singing,” Kellam said in a recent interview. “Before ‘Clash of the Choirs,’ I had opened up for Musiq Soulchild and Kem, and had done all these different tours, but I don’t think I believed in myself. I think what ‘Clash of the Choirs’ did was solidify that I had a voice that needed to be heard. To be recognized by somebody who I admire so much — Patti LaBelle — to be hand-picked by her and encouraged by her was all I needed. So ‘Clash of the Choirs’ was pretty much the seal of approval that, ‘This is your path.’ It was my certification.”

Now confident in her calling and in her ability, the engaging and outgoing Kellam is excited about taking the stage of Hard Rock Café, accompanied by her band. She is also looking forward to working with Bruner and Jones. “We’re all very soulful artists, so it’s going to be a very energetic, soulful Sunday!” she said.

Now making the most of every moment, Kellam is currently featured during MoShay LaRen’s “Mid-day Break Room” broadcast at 1:30 p.m. every Friday, presenting a segment titled “Beauty on a Budget with Barb.” She is also hard at work on an upcoming album titled “Inner Soul.” “All of the songs are pretty much a part of my personal journey and personal growth,” Kellam explained.

As she pursues her passion, the spiritual Kellam has one goal in mind. “I just want to utilize every gift that God gave me to the fullest,” she said. “I am one of those people that walk on faith. I wholeheartedly believe that for you to achieve anything great in this life, you have got to take a risk and trust that God has your back. I think that’s what I want people to know about me — that I’m where I am only because He has brought me this far.”

Up and down Germantown Avenue, people gathered to celebrate the Fourth of July while learning about the country’s past and Philadelphia’s role in the Revolutionary War. At three historic properties on Germantown Avenue—Cliveden, the Concord School and adjacent Upper Burying Ground and the Johnson House—special events took place in honor of Independence Day.

Vote for Leonard Dozier as Magic Johnson (on Broadway)

The word's out: A Magic Johnson/Larry Byrd story is soon to be an on-stage reality! There is absolutely NO ONE ELSE who can portray their own hero as Leonard Dozier can portray his hero: Magic Johnson.

As a young man, Dozier was labeled "Magic" because of his admiration for the sports legend. He lived and breathed "all things Magic," even as far as dribbling his ever-present prop wherever he went: to the store, to a neighbor's, to school even. Dozier wasn't simply admiring a man who put the ball in the hoop; Magic Johnson was the father figure Dozier never had. Suffering from a strained relationship with his own father, Johnson was a key figure in Dozier's own upbringing; they were kindred spirits in the young boy's mind. And that kinship grew as Dozier grew: ever stronger, ever present. So when Johnson informed the world of his HIV status, Dozier became so overcome with grief, he says, "I could barely make it through the school day the next day. At random I would break out in tears, knowing my friend, my father, was sick."

Today, that connection is yet as strong. So folks, this is not merely a "publicity stunt." This is Leonard Dozier standing up to fulfill his life's ambition: to bring to life the story of a man who touched his very soul to the core. This is Leonard Dozier as Magic Johnson.

Barbara Sheree will not be categorized, part two

 

"My goal is to connect through the music."

. Barbara Sheree, February 2011

Upon meeting Barbara Sheree, you witness a bundle of unbridled enthusiasm coupled with old school wisdom. Below are some of her thoughts on singing, the City of Brotherly Love, and the music business.

Barbara Sheree’s musical inspirations:

Growing up, I always loved Diana Ross. I think every young black girl back in the day wanted to be Diana Ross. I would sing "Love Hangover". Cheesin' all in the mirror.

[Barbara Sheree breaks into an unsolicited, a capella rendition over a smoothie in a Northern Liberties coffee shop. No Autotune. Golden.]

I always loved Stevie Wonder, Yolanda Adams, Chaka Kahn, Phyllis Hyman, Stephanie Mills, and of course, Patti LaBelle. I love my generation of Philly artists including Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, and Bilal. As well as my peers who emerged in the 90’s like D'Angelo, Eryka Badu, and Angie Stone.

Made in Philadelphia:

I love Philly. I love the musical energy that I get here: that inspiration, that soul, that ability to get up in front of musicians and create off the top of my head and just let my spirit out. It’s an energy here that I can’t get anywhere else. I haven’t seen it in New York, and I haven’t seen it in Atlanta, DC, LA or anywhere else. You need that energy to keep you on your toes, to keep you innovative. Listening to new young talent keeps me current and inspired.

I can go to a hood karaoke joint and hear somebody sing better than [name re-dacted]. I am so serious.

Philly is a tough audience. If you can get love musically, then you are at the top of your game. Philly is not moved by your pretty face, none of that. I have seen plenty of beautiful women hit these stages, built beautifully wearing a Beyonce leotard, some fishnet stockings,and stilettos, but can’t sing. At the end of the performance, bruthas got their faces all turned up.

[Barbara Sheree imitates a frowning cat from 8th & Diamond. Hilarious.]

They (Philadelphia audiences) don’t play that.

On the term “neo-soul”:

I don’t like labels. Even with my management team, we were all trying to classify me in order to market me. I am soul incarnate, the embodiment of soul music. That can be gospel, R&B, or house music. It all comes from the same place.

Words of advice to serious new artists:

You can’t treat it like a hobby. I'm not telling you to "quit yo job", but there comes a time when you have to completely submerge yourself under the water to truly become successful. In the past three years, I can honestly say that God has blessed me beyond what I could have imagined. You know that it comes from Him when it exceeds anything you could have conceived yourself.

Barbara Sheree will be performing at Warmdaddy’s Tribute to Eric Roberson on Monday, March 28 along with Vivian Green and Carol Riddick.

Robert,

She is blessed to have a proactive, professional manager like you.  I'm surprised I am not contacted by more managers,we  journalists LOVE when a story comes to us!

Are you taking on more clients?  If so, let me know what you are looking for so i can send them your way.  You're good.

Patti LaBelle to Barbara Sheree

The Revolution Will not be Televised,” according to Gil Scott Heron's prophetic anthem released in 1974. Neither apparently will the nominees and award winners of the R&B categories at the Grammys which were broadcast on Sunday, February 13. CBS chose not to air any of the R&B categories including Best Female, Male, Vocal Duo Performance, Best R&B Song, or Album While the televised broadcast had its share of pop, rap, and country live performances, most of the R&B-influenced songs and tributes to Aretha Franklin and Teddy Pendergrass were performed by non-Black artists.

The Grammys will have a difficult time categorizing vocalist and music revolutionary Barbara Sheree.   The South Jersey/Philadelphia native with ties to the R&B, dance, and gospel community is not deterred by the industry’s insistence on style over substance.  A signature voice on the Top 50 dance charts with her hits "Together" and "Bring the Fire", her evolving career is a testament to "walking by faith and not by sight."

Chosen by Patti Labelle to represent Philadelphia following her 2007 performance on NBC’s “Clash of the Choirs,” Barbara Sheree’s journey as an artist has been filled with peaks and valleys typical of singers trying to break into the very competitive Philly music world. The product of a musical family, she was always around singers at home and in church, although never classically trained. At one time the opening act for her contemporaries Musiq Soulchild and Kem Barbara Sheree’s vocal gift now allows her to flow effortlessly from dance music embraced by NYC and European DJ’s  to ministering the word through gospel music in a Muslim country.

On Sunday, March 27, Barbara Sheree joins a bevy of Philadelphia’s finest female vocalists in Voices of Domestic Violence: Music and Monologues, an effort spearheaded by WRNB’s Mo’Shay LaRen and Sheryl Lee Ralph to bring awareness and healing to one of the community’s silent “dream-killers”. Vivian Green, Carol Riddick, Jean Baylor along with Barbara Sheree, will perform at The Painted Bride at 230 Vine Street in Philadelphia.  Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online.  Proceeds generated from the event will support ongoing initiatives to prevent domestic violence and promote self-esteem building through workshops, mentoring, and community outreach. 

Hear from Barbara Sheree in Part Two of her Examiner.com interview. Stay tuned. The music revolution will not be televised.

Teena Marie Remembered

The late R&B star passed away at her home on Sunday, Dec. 26. She was 54.

By Raymond Tyler
Posted Dec. 28, 2010

Whenever I listen to the classic R&B cut “Fire and Desire,” there is a part in the song that really chills me to the bone (in a good way.) It’s when Teena Marie moans — on key — the words “love them and leave them.” The song, with Marie’s mind-blowing, heart wrenching, and a passionate, almost scat-like singing, was where we met musically for the first time.

Ever since Marie has had a special place in my heart. So, you can imagine how I felt when, on Sunday, Dec. 26, I woke from a nap to find out (via the Internet) that R&B legend and one-time Rick James prodigy Teena Marie had passed away at age 54.

From first hearing Marie sing through my radio via WUSS in the early 1980s to her 2010 Mother’s Day appearance at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall, Marie could bring a song to life like no other singer.
Marie’s musical legacy is a brand of soul that cannot be duplicated or replaced in today’s pop-music age of Auto-Tune. Likewise, her longstanding career in music can never be matched by the latest 20-something willing to sing as long as she’s wearing a push-up bra. In fact, Marie was about to embark on more touring before she passed away.

The late Marie’s voice, timing and songwriting are what you would call “the real thing.” Her legacy is also peculiar in that she was a white performer who excelled in the genre of R&B music. She was referred to as “Lady T” over the years as she gained more and more respect in the R&B world.

Sadly, Marie got little respect from listeners who were not checking out R&B. Unlike Hall & Oates, or other white artists who placed hits on the soul charts, Marie seemed happy to make “black music” for “black people.” There are, however, many non-black music lovers who love Marie’s music. Artists such as Joss Stone, Robin Thicke, and even Eminem, could be called direct descendants of Marie.

Marie was one of the best musicians of any color that R&B ever produced.

Here’s what other performers (who have played Atlantic City) and other industry people had to say upon hearing of Marie’s sudden death.

Barbara Sheree (Billboard charted artist and Absegami High Alumni): “I’ve seen Teena perform at Boardwalk Hall and in Philly. I watched her jump from percussion to bass and I was amazed! I will always aspire to be as great an artist [as she was]. We lost a huge icon in soul. It hurts that I’ll never hear her sing ‘Portuguese Love’ again. But her music will always live on in my heart.

DJ Do It (former Rap City DJ): “Teena was a black voice trapped in a white body. She didn’t get the proper recognition from her own [white] people. Her music will live on forever with hits such as, “Lovergirl,” “Portuguese Love,” “Ooo La La La” and “I’m a Sucker for Your Love.”

Gina Roché (Atlantic City based singer-songwriter): “That woman could sing! She knocked me out. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing.”

DJ Able (DJ for A.C. hip-hop band 120): “Teena Marie definitely had one of the most distinctive voices in music. And she could rap. She showed the ’80s R&B artists of her era how it should be done. Even artists like Prince and Stevie Wonder, who were fascinated by hip-hop, did not lyrically master the art of rap performance as well as Lady T.”

Ti K. Randall (author/poet): “Tina Marie’s catalog of music is as diverse as the people she vicariously represented. From up-tempo club favorites to ethereal ballads (‘Deja Vu: Been Here Before’ is my personal favorite song of all time), her songs will forever hearken to a time when we were ‘wild and free’ on purpose.“

Fatin Dantzler (Kindred the Family Soul): “She was a treasure and a jewel as an artist, musician, singer and producer. Our very first tour was with Teena Marie, ironically, and we shared the stage with her many times after that. After seeing her show as an artist you had no choice but to want to step it up. She always left her audiences satisfied and fulfilled. May she rest in peace and her music live on to inspire future generations as it inspired mine.”

Bow-Legged Lou (Full Force): “Teena Marie was not only a great singer and musician, but she was a sweetheart as well. I first met her when we did an all-star tribute song to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. called ‘King Holiday.’ It featured Teena, us [Full Force], Whitney Houston, and others. I remember her telling stories of her career and her times with Rick James. She had a great sense of humor. Teena was the premier white soul-singing female who was adopted by the black community from the gate, not only thanks to Rick James’ stamp, but also because of her soul-singing talent. Rest in peace Teena Marie! 

After spending 10 weeks on the Billboard charts at the start of 2010, Barbara Sheree is ending the year with a BANG! She is performing in Morocco for New Years Eve! Any press or radio inquiries please contact RWilliams@Tmarquise.com.

Eliana Torres in Pleasantville Current

2010 AtlantiCare Idol contest is all about ‘Me’

 Jan, 26-2010 1:52 pm

 By STEVE PRISAMENT
Staff Writer

 GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP – A 20-year-old teachers assistant in the AtlantiCare Kids afterschool program has been named the 2010 AtlantiCare Idol.

Eliana Torres of Pleasantville won the title with her rendition of “Me” by Tamia at the fourth annual AtlantiCare Idol talent competition Thursday, Jan. 21 at the Stockton Performing Arts Center at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.

The event raised more than $4,100 for the United Way of Atlantic County.

Torres, who hopes to build on a singing career, wowed the audience and celebrity judges Chip Alton, stage and technical manager at Tropicana Casino & Resort; Jim Esher, regional technical manager of Harrah’s Entertainment; Fabio Orozco, orthopaedic surgeon at AtlantiCare’s Joint Institute; and Jason Spencer, regional director of entertainment for Harrah’s Entertainment.

Torres was one of 16 finalists selected to compete after auditions in December.

Her prize is a one-week paid vacation and a six-month membership to the AtlantiCare LifeCenter.

“I’ve been singing since I was 7,” Torres said Monday, Jan. 25. “I was so happy and excited when I won. It was my first time in the contest.”

Torres, who works with her mother Catalina Ramos at AtlantiCare Kids, said she has been working there about a year and a half.

“I love it a lot – working with the kids,” she said. “I sing to them. I sang to them today. And I like working with my mom. My mom’s the best.”

Torres said she practiced about a half-hour a day for a week prior to performing at Stockton.

“I worked on holding a mike, moving my hands and walking the stage,” she said.

A lifelong resident of southern New Jersey, Torres said she’s lived in Pleasantville for 10 years.

She said living in Pleasantville is OK, but . . .

“Not when I become famous,” Torres said. “I’m moving.”

She likes to sing at Planet Rose in the Tropicana, she added.

Second place went to the CCR Crew from AtlantiCare’s Cardiac Catheterization and Rhythm Center, Mainland Campus, who performed the original song “The Rhythm Rap.”

The CCR Crew consisted of Rosemarie Hayek of Mays Landing, Michael Stoffel of Manahawkin, Alonzo Smalls of Pleasantville, Victoria Balsley of Mays Landing, Barbara Cottrell of Somers Point, Lannae Ewing of Linwood, Marion Massimiano of Ventnor and Kelly McGinn of Ocean City.

Jessica Acosta of Galloway Township, a registered nurse in the Mainland Emergency Department who performed the Whitney Houston hit “One Moment In Time,” tied for third with Jackie Scaffidi of Hammonton, a patient care associate in Nursing Resources at the City Campus, who sang “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from the Barbara Streisand movie “Funny Girl.”

The evening included a performance by 2008 AtlantiCare Idol winner Sonya Love of Pleasantville from AtlantiCare’s legal department.

 Disco Cowboy's Year End Charts: 2009 Edition
« Thread Started Yesterday at 5:20pm »
 

2009 has been a pretty good year for music in comparison to some years (depending on who you ask). Every year has at least a few good ones and even some great ones. I had planned to to write this big long narrative about what I really liked and disliked in terms of music this year, but I'm going to go straight to the chart and let those do most of the talking for me.

In addition to discovering some new artists who made their debuts this year, I also discovered and re-discovered some already established artists. In terms of new ones, I really liked Empire Of The Sun, Livvi Franc, and Barbara Sheree. Of the re-discoveries of older artists, some of the main ones include 80's Hi Nrg recording artists Sandra, C.C. Catch, and Bad Boys Blue, plus SAW/PWL-associated artists including Jason Donovan, Boy Krazy, and Sinitta (I first got to know her music through a good friend of mine a couple of years back, but I had sort of listened to her a lot less, especially after I lost my copy of her older greatest hits collection but a new definitive one was released this year).

Jerome Farley is releasing Barbara Sheree's single "Together" on Continuous Cool Records.continuouscool_debut_releases_page_2_resized.jpg

Best 12" Mixes of the Hottest New Club Songs Extended dance versions of top 40 hits being played on radio mix shows!

Taking a party from zero to sixty doesn't just happen. Transitioning from early night play to peak hour play requires a proficiency that can only come from a practiced hand. While there is no substitute for experience - and no shortcuts to success - Mainstream Club can help you bridge the gulf that divides pop and house by bringing you the latest dance remixes of the most popular artists. House grooves that feature such pop staples as Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and Jennifer Lopez form the foundation of our Mainstream Club series, and make for an effortless segue from the lighter shades of pop to the heavier hues of late-night house. You'll also find the more accessible of the newest Club remixes on each issue - tracks that while less familiar to audiences are nonetheless immediately catchy - tracks that in many cases inevitably find their way to Rhythm crossover play, and become pop successes themselves. Uplifting and energetic, strong on vocal hooks and carefree rhythms, Mainstream Club delivers the tracks you need to offer your audience their first taste of the grooves to come.

This format is a must for the DJ who NEEDS:

• Our most popular club series!
• Best new 12" mixes on the national club play charts.
• Mixes are full length, unedited 12" mixes that our research shows to be the hottest releases on the charts. (Research from Billboard reporters, record labels, chart movements, mix show DJ's).
• Includes major hit song versions never made available to the general public.
• Promotional only vinyl/CD singles mixes, and un-released mixes are often featured.
• Each CD has 72-78 minutes worth of music, depending on the length of the individual cut's mixes.

Barbara Sheree is diverse in her talents, singing and songwriting. All to deliver REAL music to her fans. From Patti Labelle, Keith Sweat to Al B. Sure Barbara Sheree has gained repect and paid her dues as an opening act and back up singer. But there is so much more on her path to success...

MahoganyGirl: What came first for you.. Singing or songwriting?
Barbara Sheree: I would have to say singing came first. I can remember singing in church at like age 7... And even before that imitating Diana Ross at home with my hair flying out singing "Love Hangover". So singing came first but writing followed shortly after.

MG: I love Diana Ross.. Her music is timeless. Do you remember the first song you wrote and what it was about?
BS: It was a song I wrote in high school...called "Whatever you want" It was about relationships. I can still remember the hook to it...but not the verses.

MG: Your songs are soulful and inspirational is that important for you as an artist?
BS: Yes, that is the most important thing. Everything that I write or perform I want it to connect and inspire people in some way. I try to give a part of me in every song...if I don't, Im cheating the music. Music is a gift that was given to all of us to inspire us and touch us. So, that to me is the most important thing about being a singer/songwriter.

MG: You were personally picked for a project by Patti Labelle.. How did that make you feel?
BS: Auditioning for and being picked by a person you admire so much is an unbelievable feeling. That moment is something I will never forget. And if I ever stop and try to doubt myself as we all do... I step back and remember that the BEST of the BEST said I was good enough.

MG: How was it meeting Patti for the first time?
BS: More nerve wrecking than you can imagine. I was so nervous I could barely say my name. But , she was so sweet and down to earth. But, I really couldn't believe I was there with her. I was totally star struck...(Laughs) And Im not usually like that.

MG: Can you talk about performing at Carnegie Hall?
BS: Wow... Being contracted by Carnegie Hall and performing with Jessey Norman was an amazing experience. I was so blessed to be a part of the production. And it just showed me again that anything is possible and the sky is truly the limit.

MG: What can people expect from your latest project?
BS: The new project I would have to say is the best representation of me thus far. It is deeply personal and just talks about my growth as a woman. I believe most everyone will be able to connect and relate to the music. As Im getting a little older Im not afraid to expose myself more in the music and show the mistakes Ive made in life as well as how much Ive grown.

MG: Do you want to stay indie or go the major label route. Why or why not?
BS: Right now Indie is the way for me. But, I would never say that I wouldn't entertain a major deal if I can continue to make music that represents me and gives my audience something real.

MG: At the end of the day what do you hope people will take from your music?
BS: I hope that they get that love is the most important thing in life. Not just loving you man or woman, but loving yourself. I hope that they are inspired to live life without limitations because anything is possible.

We've Come a Long Way he events of Sept. 11, 2001, divided the nation; President Obama's election inspired it by Raymond Tyler The events of Sept. 11, 2001, changed America, and America changed again last week with the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Sept. 11 inspired divisiveness and fear. Sept. 11 eventually led to the shredding of people’s freedoms both literally and spiritually. Obama’s election and inauguration is inspiring unity and hope. America chose to change much about itself since 9/11/01. I am very proud of America and Obama for this change. I can remember in the past, however, children discussing being president someday, and even if we never said the word “impossible,” we — people of color — all felt it. We also worried that if anyone of color got too close to being president, they’d be killed. Last Friday, Jan. 23, at Dante Hall I was moved to tears as I saw evidence of that perspective changing. After hosting a performing arts event for the International House of Blues Foundation, I viewed art created by local youth. I saw picture after picture of Barack Obama with Dr. Martin Luther King. I somehow kept myself from breaking down in tears. The kids didn’t know how overcome I was — at least I don’t think they knew. Today, I can tell any child of any religion, gender or culture: “You too can be president.” In fact they seem to have grasped the idea, and they ain’t letting go! Here are a few local reactions to the election of President Obama: Barbara Sheree has an Obama tribute song, “The Obama Song, Yes We Can” on iTunes — “The fact that Obama is president means we’ve come much farther than I thought in our country’s young history. I have faith Obama will guide this America to a better place. He’s inspired people to be better than they were at his inauguration.” Otis Williams of the Temptations was in town over the Dr. King holiday weekend — “We have been so blessed to work with so many great people in this music business, and the one person I can say for sure that we’d love to work with [that we haven’t] is President Barack Obama. I believe he’s going to change the world.” Henrietta Shelton, president of The Chicken Bone Beach Foundation — “I was a Hillary supporter, but Obama is so inclusive. He surrounds himself with positive people to get things done. His book The Audacity of Hope explains how lobbyists hold up what would be good laws, and he intends to change that. That made me support Obama. Since Obama’s also a family man, I hope that the idea of family starts to come back.” Writer/professor Laura McCullough — “These last eight years were Orwellian. In President Obama’s first few days, he’s restoring faith in language, in reason, in human rights, calling torture what it is, repealing oppressive reproductive-rights policies, choosing transparency over secrets. As a writer, I know secrets are great drama. As a human being, I know they are poison.” Angela Crockett of The Crockett Agency — “The election of President Obama gives me great honor to say that I am an American. To witness, in my lifetime, the majority of Americans coming together and selecting the best man for the job is historic and a testament of an emergent nation. I am very pleased at all of you who did not just talk about it, but went to the polls and helped change the course of this country.” Lisa Johnson of Lisa Johnson Communications — “With America and the world in turmoil and uncertainty, the American voters have expressed their faith in the person they think is best to lead us in the future, and hopefully into progress. Regardless of who you voted for, you can feel a sense of hope in this nation, and we must all come together to support that and our new president.”

CITY BEAT A Brief Look Back Obama, the bailout and ‘what happened to the money?’ by Raymond Tyler This year, I learned that I did not hold the patent on faith. There were millions of Americans who believed that Barack Obama could and would be the nation’s first African-American president. I never doubted that Obama should be president. However, I had serious doubts about whether or not America had matured enough. I’m grateful that I called this one wrong. My heart still swells with pride when I think about the young people who got it right. America was ready. I am not so Obama-struck to think that, as a black man, I won’t ever be racially profiled again, but I am glad that I have lived to see a black man become president. I spoke recently at Pleasantville Middle School and while addressing the 8th grade class there, I brought up Obama. It seems that, at the same time, the 2008 election changes everything and changes nothing. Obama changes everything because I can go to a school and now talk about the many sacrifices it took in order for Obama to become the next president. Nothing, however, will have changed if the world just goes back to business as usual. If people of color do not appear at school board meetings with the same dedication that they showed up at the polls back in November nothing will change. The change voted for is not magic. We the people cannot merely say the word “Obama” and expect that magically we will all gain the strength of Hercules and the wisdom of Solomon. Everyone will have to pitch in to get things right again. To me, one of the most disappointing things about this year was the government “bailout” of the banks. Like most Americans, I was upset about the economic downturn. However, what still bothers me is that the solution was to give more money to the banks. I laughed when I heard congress asking: “What happened to the money?” I laughed when senators looked puzzled that none of the billions of dollars given out actually made it to the people at large. I think that congress should have a) first given the money straight to homeowners to pay off debts and get a new start, b) then given money to the rest of America to clear basic debt (school, car loans, credit cards etc.), and c) tax the hell out of any company/industry whose operators decided to raise prices following the release of this money. Greed has all but crippled America and as long as “the foxes are in charge of this hen house” it will remain so. On a personal note, I gained a new radio show. In addition to my Friday show on Stockton Colleges WLFR, I am now also on Sunday mornings on 96.1 WTTH. The “Alternative Soul Breakfast Club” show on WTTH allows me to do what I think I do best: find and present new talent. On WTTH I have interviewed up-and-coming talents like Sasha Stevenson and writer Morgan Simone as well as international artists like music producer Rodney Jerkins, writer Zane, DJ Red Alert and rapper DMC. Next week I will reflect upon the past year of “The City Beat” coverage. For now, let me say I am looking forward with great excitement to year number five writing for Atlantic City Weekly. I am also excited to hear more of what Gov. Jon Corzine has planned in his package to help small businesses here in New Jersey. I am also hoping to sit down with new Pleasantville Mayor Jesse Tweedle to see what direction he plans to take that city in. So as we close the book on 2008, I hope we have learned a little and grown a little; we have definitely all cried a little. I thank you all for the good times and look forward to more in the next year.

The Radio Show Show I want to thank all of the people who came out in support of my new radio show The Alternative Soul Breakfast Club (on 96.1 WTTH The Touch, Sundays at 7am) last Monday at Planet Rose. Station owner Gary Fisher and I organized and hosted a party for the listeners and some of the performers whose music is played on the show. The highlight for me was meeting the show’s listeners, some of whom came out and had never been to a live music/arts showcase here at the Jersey shore. Grammy winner Terry Steele dropped by and brought actress Barbara Montgomery with him. Readers may remember Montgomery from her role as Casseita Hetebrink on the hit sitcom Amen. Montgomery and Steele were both inspiring to the performers at Planet Rose. Miss Atlantic City Sasha Stevenson did an outstanding job co-hosting the event with me. Stevenson also pleased the crowd, performing her new single “Watch Me” to kick off the party. Brooklyn’s Robin Adams and Michael Helman screened clips from their new Web cartoon series Cowch Potatoes. The series can currently be seen at www.cowchpotatoes.com — but don’t be surprised if you see the series on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim soon. Everyone at Planet Rose was roaring with laughter from the clips we saw. As soon as Atlantic City’s Pattie Harris walked in, several guests, including Barbara Montgomery, grabbed the microphone from me in order to explain why Miss Pattie was the reason why they were successful in the arts. I always count myself among those people who directly benefit from Pattie Harris. I also have to thank WTTH’s program director Rob Garcia for the 150 gift bags and great door prizes. Special guest Shanelle Gabriel from HBO’s Def Poetry Jam thrilled the crowd and encouraged all of the artists to keep on. For those of you who missed The Alternative Soul Breakfast Club Kick-Off Party, we’ll have a similar event called Alternative Soul Live at Dante Hall on Saturday Oct. 25 at 8pm.
Barbara Sheree recorded a song written and produced by David Armaan of Armaan Media. They have produced for Junior Vasquez, Peter Gabriel, Angelique Kidjo, Eros Ramazzotti, Jason Walker and Sony Music. The song is an uplifting song for the Barack Obama presidental campaign. The song is under Music.
Robert Williams will be interviewed by Raymond Tyler on The Alternative Soul Breakfast Club, Sunday October 5th. It will be on 96.1 FM WTTH from 7am-8am. You can also listen at http://www.961wtth.com. World Famous Producer, Rodney Jerkins will be interviewed on the same show.
Sasha will be co-hosting and performing, along with Eliana.

CITY BEAT Thanks to the Drivers Toy and Coat Drive was a huge success by Raymond Tyler The READERS of Atlantic City Weekly sure made my holiday a bright one. Just before Thanksgiving, I called up editor Mike Epifanio and explained to him that I wanted to make a toy and coat drive for Atlantic City’s Covenant House happen this holiday season. Though there wasn’t a lot of time to get it going, Mike and Atlantic City Weekly publisher Lew Steiner gave me the green light and even agreed to co-op with my radio show to help make the drive a success. Soon after our meeting, the paper’s art director Kevin McCarty designed the fliers and ads (which were out of this world) to help promote the drive. A box to collect gifts was set up in the AC Weekly office in West Atlantic City. Throughout the whole drive, which concluded on Dec. 20, AC Weekly was there for me, whether it was with advice or exposure. The office got as excited about the drive as I was. Mike even devoted space in his column to promote it. The best moment came on a day I was depressed. I had spent the previous day on the phone, asking for donations and getting turned down. I was actually about to take some money out of the bank and pick up some toys and close the drive down. I picked up the phone to see if the office was doing any better and Mike said, “Ray, you need to come here and pick up these gifts because the box is full.” This was still with another three weeks of the drive left. Lew helped me get all the great toys and coats down to my car and I haven’t had a down day since. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank everyone at the paper for their support and for making this drive a big success. I would also like to thank all of the readers and businesses that stepped up with donations. Thank you for keeping me busy picking up toys, coats, board games, books and other great gifts. Lauren Shaw’s custom hula-hoops were an instant smash with the kids. The Covenant House staff was moved by all of the gifts, but was blown away by the great sweatshirts and coats from The Steve and Barry Company. At Drop Zone Army Navy inside the Shore Mall, owner Kevin Walker bagged merchandise from his shelf in support. Throughout the drive, T-Marquise Entertainment founder Robert Williams encouraged me and also donated toys and cash. Other memorable moments and donations came courtesy of David Harris and Harmony Quest Publishing, Leesa Webb, Kin Fusion Entertainment, Chef Mike Stevenson, Michelle Moseley, Emari Digiorgio, Bruce Jennings and Silent Noise Publishing, Mark Smith, Tiana Stephans, Danille Williams, Bobby Laws, Minta Carney, DJ Able, Mary Ann Thomas, and the waitress staff at Pistol Pete’s. There are other people whose names I don’t know, but who gave. I want to let you all know I deeply appreciate the sacrifice involved in putting yourself aside and thinking of other families at this time of year. Besides the gifts you gave to benefit the homeless and the needy, your self-less actions have humbled me and taught me to swallow my pride for the benefit of others. Together, we did something much greater than any of us could have done alone. We can all look back on the holiday season of 2007 and know that we did our part. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Party We had a great time at the toy drive party last Thursday at Pistol Pete’s in Pleasantville. The food was great (thanks Pete). The poets were astounding. Emari Digiorgio was nasty. Sheyster and Shakira came from Philadelphia and turned average words into powerful ideas. Michelle Moseley showed the skills that earned her the first place in Atlantic City’s Poetry Slam. DJ Able made the music we already loved even better. Barbara! Barbara! Barbara! I almost missed my own party because local singer Barbara Sheree was singing on the biggest night of NBC’s Clash of The Choirs. Barbara sang lead vocals on “No Drama” (the Mary J. Blige song) brilliantly. Barbara, I’ve seen you go from headlining The Alternative Soul Awards at The Planet Rose to opening for Keith Sweat to singing in front of Patti LaBelle on national TV. You earned all your success and I can’t wait to see what you’ve got for us in 2008. Sheree will be with Patti LaBelle’s choir here at Caesars on New Year’s Eve. Raymond Tyler hosts Let’s Talk About It on Fridays from 7–8pm on WOND 1400AM and Alternative Soul Fridays from 2-4pm on WLFR 91.7FM.
Disappointed but undaunted Phila. choir By Peter Mucha Inquirer Staff Writer Defeat isn't always agony. "This is just the beginning," said Frankford's Barbara Kellam, 30, the day after her team, led by Patti LaBelle, finished a disappointing second on NBC's Clash of the Choirs. Tonight, the 20 singers, handpicked and then driven hard by the city's prima diva, will perform with her live in the Bronx, N.Y. Then they'll join LaBelle at Caesars Atlantic City on New Year's Eve. The head of a cancer outreach program at the University of Pennsylvania is happy, too. Although Jessica Simpson's ex, Nick Lachey, and his Cincinnati team won America's votes for the grand prize, $250,000 for that city's Children's Hospital, $50,000 each was awarded to charities on behalf of the other four choirs. "This is a tremendously generous gift," said Chanita Hughes-Halbert, founder of With Our Voices at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. "It will help us expand our services and continue to offer them to African Americans in Philadelphia." The cause was personal not only for LaBelle, who lost four sisters to cancer, but also for one of the Philly singers, Rachael Sutliff, a survivor of stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Of course, not all the talk was of silver linings - especially since many thought Philly deserved the gold. Including Patti LaBelle. "It was a rip-off - somebody stole it from me," she said in a phone interview Thursday night just after the show, noting that she'd had the support of fellow choirmasters Michael Bolton and Kelly Rowland. During the four-night series, another choir leader, country singer Blake Shelton, continually expressed awe, at one point bowing to LaBelle. Quickly, she sounded more positive notes. "I'm still a winner, you know what I mean? I'm not taking anything away from Nick Lachey. . . . I'm 63, he's about 2. It's called Clash of the Choirs, not Clash of the Popularity," she said. The Phillies have already invited her group, dubbed "Patti's Boom Boom Choir," to sing at Citizens Bank Park in March, she said right after the show. Kellam, who belted out "No More Drama" on Thursday night, praised LaBelle for letting so many members sing lead. "About half of us were given a chance. That's what I didn't see from the other teams," added Kellam, who goes back to work Monday at USAirways, where she's a customer-service representative. After singing lead on "I'll Stand by You" Tuesday, a choked-up J'onett DeVeaubray of Philadelphia said her lifelong dream had just come true - being mentored by Patti LaBelle and then sharing a stage with her. LaBelle said she didn't worry who had pop-star looks, hoping people would "vote for what they hear, not what they see, because that's prejudice." "I didn't know they could sing lead like that, but they killed it," she said. "What do mean, how close did I come to tears?" Kellam said yesterday. "I was full of tears. They had to touch my makeup up [Thursday] night three, four times."
KYW Newsradio Monday, 17 December 2007 4:24AM Battle of the Bands, Choir Style by KYW's John Ostapkovich NBC-Television premiers Clash of the Choirs tonight and Philadelphia's entry is bold, brash and, boy, can they sing. Twenty voices, assembled by Patti LaBelle, practice for tonight's debut in New York. They'll go note to note with four other superstar-collected choirs to win viewer votes. For Tim Bolognone, this is a big musical change.... "I was classically-trained in all my musical study and this, everything is rote memory, so we haven't looked at one piece of music. It's hear the notes, hear the line and you need to know it now!" US Airways gate agent Barbara Kellam is flying higher than a 737 because she's going to her superbowl: "We're ready to win this for Philadelphia. We're ready to win it for Patti and I have no doubt at all in my mind that we are the choir that they're going to have to beat and they're not going to be able to do it." But it's going to be fun to hear them try.
Tuesday, December 11, 2007 Frankford resident in the news Thanks to a tip from a reader it's a pleasure to highlight Barbara Kellam. Read the entire story on phillycom here. Harmonizing Twenty amateur singers have been holed up at Mount Airy Presbyterian Church many nights as they rehearse for the NBC reality series Clash of the Choirs. Premise: Five celebs - Patti LaBelle in Philly, Kelly Rowland in Houston, Michael Bolton in New Haven, Conn., Nick Lachey in Cincinnati, and Blake Shelton in Oklahoma City - choose and train 20-member choirs in their hometowns to sing on the four-night live series, starting Dec. 17 in New York. "This is not your father's choir," says executive producer Jason Raff, immediately apologizing for the cliche. "They won't be in robes holding song sheets." The music and contestants are diverse. R&B star Rowland's crew is rehearsing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Winners will fund a local charity; LaBelle's is With Our Voices, a health-outreach program. Juniata's Tim Bolognone, 30, a Frankford High and Bob Jones U grad, apprentice in the cabinetmakers' union, and worship leader at Grace Bible Church in Northeast Philly, has had some stage experience with a barbershop quartet, "but not in front of 11 million people." Frankford's Barbara Kellam, an airline customer-service rep at Philadelphia International Airport, calls it "surreal" to have been chosen by LaBelle to represent Philly. "I'm seeing myself in commercials, and then I go to work," marvels Kellam, daughter and granddaughter of singers. This is "my breakthrough year," she says. "I was 315 pounds, had gastric-bypass surgery and lost 140 pounds. I also turned 30. I'm on fire!" Rounding out LaBelle's choir are Amanda Gordon and Liimu McGill of Glenside; Christina Blue of Trenton; Frank DiCristo of Media; Joshua Womer of Mount Pleasant Mills, Pa.; Lucas Lasagna of Allentown; Katie Romano of Norristown; and Philadelphians Arlyn Wolters, Danielle Baker, Darian Moore, Jessie Reed-Benton, J'onett DeVeaubray, Mary McClinnaham, Niesha Cherry, Rachael Sutliff, Robbie Cunningham, Sharon Gary-Dixon, and Shonse Hawkins.

CITY BEAT Art Support Get involved with local centers, galleries and groups by Raymond Tyler One of the “City Beat” columns that people have talked to me about most this year was my Oct. 11 column on Atlantic City’s need for an arts district. I have had a number of people stop me at local art events and ask me questions and make comments. Readers share that they’re glad that I support the arts scene. I do try to make as many poetry readings, plays and art openings as possible. I also try to frequent galleries, keep up on local music, from gospel to hip-hop to rock, and at least check in with different arts organizations and groups. I believe everyone should make time for art. Easy to say as a writer, but I truly believe doctors, lawyers, bus drivers and everyone else should find some way to express their creativity and begin to explore their imaginations. Here are a few things I do. First, I support and encourage local performers. Not only do I write about local performers like Barbara Sheree, I play their music alongside more well-known artists like Stevie Wonder and Kanye West on my Alternative Soul (2-4pm on Stockton’s WLFR 91.7FM). By this time next year I hope to have introduced readers to great talents (and dedicated gospel musicians) such as Julius Petty and Lois Colon; Samira Taylor, an ACHS student with a voice that will shake up the world; rapper Qweegie Bo; and the hip-hop group the Captains Of Bread. I also support local art centers. This is something that everybody should do. From the Jewish Community Center in Margate to the Galloway Cultural Arts Center (my art center of choice) the art center is the community access point for artists and art lovers. In 2003, Fran Vandenberg asked me to become a part of the GCAC and I have not regretted a moment. Art centers use what little money they get to invest in artists financially. Art centers provide opportunities through teaching and showings for artists to make money, get experience and gain exposure. Many centers offer classes and workshops that are very affordable and help you find and grow your inner-artistic self. The Galloway Art Center has helped me personally in all of these ways and more. What I really love is that when I get an idea, I can take it there and work out a way to bring it to the community. Visit the art center near you or check out the one in Galloway and just visit the gallery and enjoy the art. Then pick up a brochure on upcoming art shows, classes and events and try something new. Or try something you like. Or get back into some craft you seemed to have not had the time to enjoy. Most importantly, if you can, write a check and join the art center as a member so that they can continue to support the arts in your community. Visit the South Jersey Cultural Alliance’s Web site at SJCA.net for info on local art centers and groups. If there is no arts center in your community, visit your local library, PAL Center, or Boys and Girls Club. They would probably welcome you as a volunteer to help them start a poetry group, book group, theater group, music program or whatever artistic flavor you’ve been itching to bring to light.

A Rising Star Absegami grad Barbara Sheree hits the House of Blues stage on Sunday by Raymond Tyler It has been said that the formula for success is the meeting of opportunity and preparation. For Barbara Sheree, a graduate of Absegami High School, her next opportunity will be opening for Keith Sweat at the House of Blues this holiday weekend (Sunday, Sept. 2, 8pm) in Atlantic City. The preparation has been in the work that Sheree has done over the past 15 years, giving audiences knock-out performances whether it has been opening for Musiq at Boardwalk Hall, participating in the Ebony Black Family Reunion Tour or appearing in different — and more intimate — venues in the Atlantic City-Philadelphia area. Sheree is a soulful, special and unique singer-songwriter. Her single “So Right” can be heard on local radio stations WJSE and WLFR. I spoke with Sheree last week, seven days before the biggest night of her life thus far. How did you get started singing? I got started at six or seven in church and school. I decided in my 20s in college that my passion wasn’t law, it was music. What was life like for you at Absegami? I was heavily involved in every choir at Absegami. In fact, TV40 should have footage of me from the Christmas concerts at the Hamilton Mall. Back then, did you imagine that one day you’d be opening for an artist with the soul catalogue of Keith Sweat? I did know that one day I would be performing at places like the House of Blues. One day I’ll be the headliner. I was raised to work hard and achieve my goals. What’s your approach to songwriting? When I write, I pull from my own experiences. God has put me in situations so that when I got through I could write and help other people. I know that you want to write for other artists as well. Are you going to present Mr. Sweat with a CD of some songs written for him? I wouldn’t mind doing a duet with Mr. Sweat some day. But I haven’t written any songs specifically for him yet. Perhaps after this experience I will have a CD of music written by me especially for him to perform. Are there any artists that you are currently working with and writing for? I do plan to write material for other artists in the near future. At this moment I have to focus on my career. There are some artists I’d like to pitch some songs to and work with though. What are your short-term goals after this show and where do you want to be five years from now? After [the show], I’m looking forward to the release of my new CD, Love and Life. I will also be having a birthday party on Sept. 6 at The 40/40 Club. Longer-range goals are to play bigger arenas, develop more relationships with other artists, and to work hard to see what type of music recording label deal I can orchestrate. Depending on the offer, I may want to work with an indie label, but I definitely want one that can deliver worldwide distribution. What do you — as a singer-songwriter — bring to R&B music? My CD offers hip-hop, some pop, some rock elements. I am diverse. I love Nirvana, Etta James and Jay-Z. I’m not afraid to explore every element of music. I have one new track that reminds me of Bonnie Tyler. Will you be greeting fans and signing CDs after the show? That always feels weird because I consider myself just an average person. I’m grateful that people like what I do. What’s your advice to a student at any of the local high schools who reads this and wants to be the next Barbara Sheree? Never stop. Don’t let fear ruin your dreams. So many times fear of failure stops us just short of having it all. You can hear music and contact Sheree at www.myspace.com/bsheree. Raymond Tyler hosts the radio show Let’s Talk About It on Sundays from 11am-noon on WOND 1400AM.
On August 31st Mystik will be casting for the Female Rapper Show, a new show by VH1. The show is a competitive reality series about female rappers — MC's can be from anywhere in the country and can have any style of rap — as long as they have skillz! The winner will earn substantial dollars, national exposure and, of course, respect in the hip-hop game. She was invited due to her experience and success on the original VH1 pilot for the White Rapper Show.
CITY BEAT by Raymond Tyler The southern New Jersey area continues to prove itself as a market that has room for all types of urban performers — big stars like Beyoncé as well as lot of great up-and-comers. For example, last year I saw Emily King open for Floetry in Atlantic City. A few months later she was featured in Vibe magazine, and this summer she is touring with John Legend. Likewise, in last week’s column I wrote a little about local singer Barbara Sheree; soon afterwards I found out she will be opening for Keith Sweat at his House of Blues concert on Sept. 2. (Look forward to an interview with her in the Aug. 30 issue.
CITY BEAT Milestones Celebrating the work of some mighty talented people by Raymond Tyler Although many of you reading this are on vacation, some of us (ah-hem) are still hard at work. This week I give warm congratulations to the following people who have seen the fruits of their labor blossom this summer. Pinky Kravitz Last Thursday, Pinky celebrated his 50th year in radio at a party at the Hilton and I had to personally tell him: Thank you! As someone working in the media, Pinky means many things to me. First and foremost, Pinky is a trailblazer in the Atlantic City market and one of the reasons there even is an Atlantic City market. Whether you read this column, hear me on the radio, or have caught me on local TV, Pinky’s success has inspired me and I feel that his success has paved the way for my own. Although our styles of delivery may differ, I like to think we’re the same in that we both listen attentively and share laughs and personal time with each of our guests. When Pinky was on stage thanking those gathered at the Hilton for allowing him to be a part of their lives, I had a sense of what he must have been feeling. I feel a rush whenever a reader says they enjoy my column or that it made them think. That someone like Pinky can own a market like Atlantic City and still be humbled by the people who hear him, that’s truly inspiring. Here’s to you, Pinky. May I survive this, my first, year in radio and may you be there at my 50th-year celebration. Henrietta Shelton Henrietta Shelton Back in 2000, Henrietta Shelton saw and heard her vision of a summer jazz concert series come alive. Since then, her Chicken Bone Beach Historical Foundation’s free Jazz on the Beach Concert Series has brought some of the world’s great jazz musicians to Atlantic City. It continues to be held Thursday evenings in the summer on the stage at Kennedy Plaza on the Boardwalk and brings out locals and visitors, the young and old, white and blue-collars, and people from all races and cultures. The Chicken Bone Beach series also showcases all forms of jazz, from smooth to straight-ahead and from classical to be-bop. Shelton, who does much of the work behind the scenes, has ensured that the memory of Chicken Bone Beach will endure and be celebrated each summer. For more info and a list of scheduled performers go to www.chickenbonebeach.org. Dalia Raiyen If you go to see the new Chris Tucker-Jackie Chan movie Rush Hour 3 at the same showing that I do this weekend, there’s a good chance you’ll hear me whisper to my date about Dalia Raiyen. Raiyen, who I interviewed in this column last November (and who appeared on my radio show this past May) has a role in the movie. Although the singer-actress couldn’t say much about her role in Rush Hour 3, she did tell me it was sexy. I spoke with her manager recently who confirmed that Raiyen attended the L.A premiere of the movie a few weeks ago and that she’ll be at the New York premiere this weekend. Barbara Sheree For several years Barbara Sheree has been one of the hardest working soul vocalists I’ve known. While she has a voice that people treasure, her star shines brightest during live performances. The Absegami graduate has opened for Musiq, Doug E. Fresh and Yolanda Adams. She’s also been a part of past Summer Ebony/Jet Black Family Reunion Tours. Now Sheree is poised to fill some very big shoes in the group Change. Change was the R&B group that Luther Vandross sang with early in his career when he was also writing and singing commercial jingles. Becoming a lead singer in a group that once had Luther Vandross as its lead will be a lot of work, but Sheree has packaged hard work with her talent from the start. You can see her perform as one of the headliners at The Alternative Soul Live Concert at Planet Rose (in The Quarter) on Sunday, Aug. 12 at 6pm. For more information on Sheree, visit www.myspace.com/barbarasheree. Raymond Tyler hosts the radio show Let’s Talk About It on Sundays from 11am-noon on WOND 1400AM.
Barbara Sheree will be opening for Keith Sweat at the House of Blues in Atlantic City. Show is September 2, 2007. Starts at 8pm.

Mystik was called by a casting agent from Fox to audition for Lady or a Tramp," a new show for Fox. On the show, rowdy female club-hoppers and their ilk will be sent to a charm school to undergo rigorous etiquette training. They'll go through the usual reality-show challenges - learning to host teas, do needlepoint, etc. But each week, one of them will be tossed off the show The show's concept is borrowed from the U.K. reality show "Ladette to Lady" (seen here on Sundance Channel), in which rowdy female club-hoppers are sent to a charm school to be transformed into very proper ladies.

Hear the reason the GRAMMYS have to add the Rap Female category back! Mystik just released "Unexpected". It's available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/mystik. Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) June 1, 2007 -- Mystik the winner of Dame Grease's Free Grease Beat contest on MySpace just released her new CD Unexpected. It features the track 'A Boss' that used the beat from the contest. Dame Grease had to choose from 10,000 submissions, but he said, "It was something about her voice, her delivery, that led me to choosing her." Now Mystik is scheduled to work with Dame Grease in the studios on his mixtape. From working with superstar producers (Dame Grease, Hellz Yeah (DJ Premier)), to performing on one of the biggest college tours (OutWork Me Tour -- 30 colleges, 3 states) and performing in Hollywood for a new reality show, Mystik is Hip Hop's next ICON. Mystik, also known as that "CHICK Who Brought MTV to DOWNINGTOWN" was featured on the original pilot for Ego Trip's White Rapper Show [VH1 in early September 2005. A great contributor to the shows' success and an extremely entertaining personality described by VH1 staff. She has also traveled the nation on tour with such names as Crime Mob, T.I., Missy Elliot, Slim Thug and others. She's performed on pilots for NBC and other networks. Mystik's mixtape "Unknown Celebrity" released February of 2006 had drops from everybody from MC Lyte, DJ Doc B (Power 99), & DJ FLOW (Power 99), Mossburg of the INC to Dave Park of Sony Music. She also released a CD "Married 2 Da Game" as a member of the power group Bonnie N Clyde. They were brought together by a Def Jam South executive. "We both submitted solo demos, but we had one solo song together and they hit us back like yo we love ya'll chemistry," reflects Mystik. The song "Just Like That" had Young Jeezy on the track. Mystik has been interviewed on many online blogs and magazines. Her music has made it on many mixtapes put out by some of music's hottest DJ's such as DJ WRECK, DJ Reflection and DJ Dre Money$. Her music has also been featured on many websites across the world including the UK and Australia. Armed with the audacity of a gangster, the flow of a veteran, and the style to make even the most skeptical take a second look, she is definitely turning heads for all the right reasons. Raised in the streets of Coatesville, PA, a city of the greater Philadelphia area, she was of course no stranger to the crime wave. As an early teen she refused to run the scene with the local kids, and looked to music as an outlet in her troubling life. Mystik discovered hip-hop for the first time at the age 16 then, she couldn't comprehend the power it had over her. Armed with a tape deck and a small microphone, she started perfecting her craft over the radio and tapes her friends would bring over. Four years later, Mystik is now a respected member of the female mc community and the rap game in general. Blazing mix tapes, rocking shows and representing for all females, large and small. Check her out on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/mystikmusic. For more information on Mystik or to schedule an interview please contact Robert Williams of TMarquise Entertainment LLC (www.tmarquise.com) at 609-576-2705.

It's finally here, Unexpected! Hear Mystik's latest masterpiece.
On new Saturday show, WJSE host spans genres on his new Saturday show Spoken-word artist and writer Raymond Tyler wages a one-man crusade against segregated radio formats during his weekly Saturday evening program, “Alternative Soul,” on WJSE-FM 102.7. During one of Tyler's shows earlier this month, listeners heard him play the neo-soul of Musiq Soulchild, the hip-hop of Jay-Z, the acoustic pop-rock of little-known California band Dakota Moon, the funk of the late James Brown, an independent release from Philadelphia R&B singer Barbara Sheree and the 1980s arena rock of Yes. “I enjoy rock 'n' roll,” said Tyler, an Atlantic City area resident, after his 6 to 8 p.m. show ended on May 12. “It's a misconception that black people don't enjoy rock 'n' roll. This is the most dangerous show in southern New Jersey.” Like a more adventurous version of the “play anything we feel like” philosophy of Jack/Bob/Hank and Ben radio formats, Tyler even put a Philadelphia-based, female hip-hop soul duo named Jazzyfatnastees, doing their version of Britney Spears' hit song “Toxic,” on the air. This is Tyler's first time doing a primarily music show on the radio. He has previously worked in the talk format. “For five years, I took it (his show idea) to a lot of stations that wouldn't touch it,” Tyler said. “I've been to shows by Floetry, the Roots, Third World. You don't see just black people. White, black, Asian, Mexican, I saw all different cultures. ... There is a lot of great music that goes across the board.” Tyler said he saw a need for his type of show because he doesn't like what is played on the commercial urban radio format currently. “I'm not mad at (R&B singer) Keyshia Cole and (southern rapper) Young Jeezy, but I get tired of hearing the same five songs. A lot of good music doesn't get spins. ... I originally thought of doing an old soul with hip-hop show with neo-soul mixed in,” said Tyler, whose first show was March 3. The only radio show Tyler is aware of similar to his is Tiffany Bacon's “Inner City” program from 9 to 10 p.m. on WUSL-FM 98.9, out of Philadelphia. Besides music, Tyler makes room for southern New Jersey artists and community activists. Earlier this month, Tyler gave airtime to Shermaine Gunter-Gary and the Rites of Passage Programs in Atlantic City, a woman who announced an anti-violence rally on May 22 at Pleasantville High School and a rapper named W.A.L. from Atlantic City.

DAME GREASE OF VACANT LOT RECORDS TO RELEASE THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED COMMERCIAL BEAT FOR DOWNLOAD ON MY SPACE TUESDAY December 19, 2006! Harlem, NY - Last April, multi-platinum producer Dame Grease drew attention from fans and media outlets when he gave away a free beat valued at $20,000 through a special contest on his MySpace page. After the success of that contest, Grease has decided to once again place a beat on MySpace for a free download. The winner of the previous Free Grease Beat was MYSTIK, the hottest white girl in Philly! She ripped the competition and took the crown home. Grease had to choose from 10,000 submissions, but he said, "it was something about her voice, her delivery, that led me to choosing her." Now Mystik is scheduled to work with Grease in the studios on his mixtape. On Tuesday, December 19th, Indie artists and Music Marketers who have approached Grease for a classic production will have a field day when this beat is released for download. The Beat's commercial appeal lays the perfect foundation for a break-through hit! Why pay $50,000 for a beat when you could log on to www.myspace.com/vacantlotofficial and download the beat for just 99 cents. Grease was the first producer to give away a free beat online, and now he's saving the Industry from exhausting their marketing/advertising budgets once again. Unlike his followers, Grease created the buzz and developed the blueprint for mastering the sound of classic hits. With over 20 million records sold up to date, Grease is giving his fans the opportunity to make it!

2006 is the year of Bonnie & Clyde. This power group consisting of Pa's own Mystik and Texas' Stainless was brought together by a Def Jam South executive. Together they form a mix of southern hip hop with an east coast twist. With one album entitled "Married 2 Da Game" and the first single "Just Like That" with Young Jeezy under their belts, there's no doubt this group will continue to make history.
