Friday Flashback: Bob Marley "No Woman No Cry"

Twenty-seven years ago this month (May 11, 1981) Bob Marley died of cancer. On this day (May 23) he was given an official funeral “by the people of Jamaica“. So today’s Friday Flashback is “No Woman No Cry” which is my favorite Bob Marley song.

For Obama’s Army — "We’re A Winner"

It was a rough week for those of us in the Obama Army. And the longer this Democratic primary goes on, the nastier and rougher Miss Hillary, Bubba & co are gonna be. Miss Hillary will do just about anything to get this nomination, even if it means fracturing the Democratic party and possibly having another Republican in the White House in November. But despite the negativity that has permeated throughout this campaign, Barack Obama and his supporters are winners! And in honor of that, here’s Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions with “We’re a Winner”. As Curtis says, “we gotta keep on pushin!”

Old School Video — Black Men United "You Will Know"

Continuing on the positive vibe from the “Yes We Can” video, I want to post this video “You Will Know” by Black Men United. The song was from the Jason’s Lyric soundtrack back in the mid 90s. It had just about every popular male r&b singers of that era. I think only R. Kelly is the only one still making records. But I absolutely loved this song, it was so inspirational and something different from all that Death Row gangsta rap that was popular at the time. Anyway, with Obama possibly becoming the HNIC of the USA and showing young black folks you can be something else other than a rapper, basketball player, or football player, I thought this would be an appropriate video. Enjoy!
