I’m so glad Ridge finally grew a backbone and stood up to Brooke’s ridiculous demand to be co-CEO. Steffy has earned that gig but she could stand to ease up on Hope 🤣 @BandB_CBS

I’m so glad that the Mattie & Olympia ICE has thawed on @matlockcbs - my favorite TV series right now with Kathy Bates and Skye P. Marshall!

I saw all these people with picket signs headed downtown so I thought I’d see what it was all about - after I stopped by Marshall’s - but I guess I too long because this ain’t it 🤣

Today was a great day to talk about Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding and Ruby Johnson with the woman who worked with all of them - the effervescent Deanie Parker!!!!

The Ice Man - Jerry Butler - Cometh for 85 years with freezers of stone-cold musings on the vagaries of love. The acid-throated Gwen McCrae redefined women’s sexual liberation with a string of gems like He Don’t Ever Lose His Groove and the million-seller: Rocking Chair. #Gone

Country music is some of the most soulful music ever sung. Check out my @Spotify Americana Soul playlist that features some great examples by Candi Staton, The Civil Wars, Bonnie Raitt, Keb’Mo, Chris Stapleton etc. open.spotify.com/playlist/0f…

I’m sad about this… I love JD Souther’s charming songs like You’re Only Lonely and Her Town with JT. Also, the great songs he penned for The Eagles! variety.com/2024/music/obitu…

With all the talk about Dolly Parton’s original version of JOLENE and Beyoncé’s excellent new version, I just wanted to mention another fine version by Candi Staton back in 1973. open.spotify.com/track/5nW7H…

It was an enormous honor to be interviewed for this upcoming TV-documentary about the legendary Candi Staton. Her music and career deserves all the attention in the world. Tune in this Sunday on TV One!

Candi Staton is known as The Queen of Southern Soul, thanks to a string of hits, most notably the disco groove “Young Hearts Run Free!” 🎤 But behind the success, Candi was fighting for her life. Don't miss an all-new #Unsung, Sunday, March 24th at 9p/8c.

Why does no one address the poor security team at Steffy Forrester’s estate that allows intruders like Sheila Carter to constantly get access and swing her door open. That’s another thing. Why are no doors ever locked on The Bold & The Beautiful ?🤣 @BandB_CBS

One of the DMV’s shining stars has dimmed… Only 31 years old. It reminds me of Eva Cassidy’s premature passing of cancer almost 30 years ago at the age of 33. @TheMusicianShip @Forbes @catjanice @EvaFanClub forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyr…
