The IVORY Queen of Soul... Gone

Dec. 26th 2010 at 4:30 pm, I recieved several calls & text messages about the death

of my sweet TEENA MARIE. I called Lorenzo, he confirmed it. I lost it.

No other artist before her has touched me the way she had. I was raised on

RICK JAMES, TEENA MARIE & The MARY JANE GIRLS.

My mom hugged me & would'nt let me go. My sisters the same, full of tears.

I am still in a bit of shock & dis-belief, but I know shes back with her Slick Rick!

I'll never forget U LADY TEE, and I'll never stop spreading your beautiful music.

God rest your sweet soul, my LADY TEE!

Urban Diva

Diva is back, and doing it solo this time around!


Once described as the "Female version of Rick James", Joanne "JOJO" Funderburg (Original lead singer of The MARY JANE GIRLS) has released the highly anticipated solo debut, SLIGHTLY DANGEROUS. If you are a fan of her Funk/Party anthems like "Candy Man", "Boys", "All Night Long" or the international Pop hit "In My House", but yearn for more, then you may wanna check out JoJo's more cooled out side with Slightly Dangerous.



Her work with The Mary Jane Girls has penned the group as The MOST Sampled Girl Group In HIP HOP History! From LL Cool J, Mary J Blige, Red Man to Mack 10, the music is played on a loop, on the daily from Old School lovers, to Hip Hop! ALL NIGHT LONG is a favourite amongst Urban radio listeners.



On this new effort she has reunited with a fellow Punk Funker. The captain of the Punk Funk Horns, Rick James' right hand man Mr. Daniel LeMelle.



It's a great album & showcases Diva's beautiful & unmistakeable voice. To get your copy visit JOJO on her website at http://www.jojourbandiva.com/

R.I.P. to The Queen of Funk!

Rosalind "Mallia" Franklin made her heavenly transition on Feb. 5th 2010 at 10:25am PST. She went peacefully.
She was the voice of P-Funk King George Clinton's all female PARLET & The BRIDES Of FUNKENSTEIN. Also known as The QUEEN Of Funk!

She will live on this earth forever in... all of our hearts. So play a Mallia song, a Parlet song or a P-Funk song today in her memory.
　
This is my 1st blog entry, in my blog I will ramble & obsess about my favorite music & my favorite artists mainly Funk music, R&B/Neo-Soul, Old School, Tribal / Retro / Disco / Hi-NRG / Cha-Cha /, Oldies, 70's Soul, Rick James, Teena Marie & my favorite of em all The Mary Jane Girls!
