Happy Birthday to Eddie Levert, longtime member and co-lead singer of the legendary O'Jays, born June 16th, 1942. On June 16, 2024 he celebrated his 82nd birthday. By any measure, the O'Jays are one of the most important Soul Music groups of all-time. Whether delivering funky dance music, romantic ballads, or thoughtful social commentary in song

1970's vs 1980's 1990's 2000's 2010's and 2020's! The 1970's is still the best decade for Black folks. Only a few years removed from the Civil Rights struggles, but that decade of the 70's had more love and fun for black folks than any other in history. I'm fortunate to have experienced it first hand.

Many comments about the bass player. His name was Kurtis Teel and yes ladies and gentlemen he was all that. And more. Funny cat and really driven to succeed you could tell it already when he was my roomate at Berklee in 1971. He cut quite a figure even back then when his main axe at that point was a huge natural finish Telecaster bass. And yes, gone way too soon at age 32 in LA where he had settled. A long road from Kentucky folks, and yes, a helluva player and person.

I do believe he, (William Powell), took drugs to help alleviate the pain and stress from his cancer. Sometimes the body tells you when something is out of whack. Maybe he didn't realize he had cancer because the drugs would numb him until he went to the hospital after the car accident. Had he not taken any drugs back then, the cancer could've been caught early on, but then again medicine wasn't advanced back then like how it is now. He is so handsome and will never be forgotten❣❣❣❣
