Vintage and Rare MJ


I was jamming on some old Michael Jackson songs and I listen to at least a couple MJ songs a dady, whether it be from his time from the Jackson 5 with his brothers, or his solo career. I came across with song, Push Me Away from the Jacksons and their Destiny album, which was released in 1978. This was a year before Michael, released his solo and amazing debut album, Off the Wall in 1979. Below, is a video, of Jackson's solo performance of the song on Soul Train with the late great Don Cornelius. MJ speaks about his acting on the film, The Wiz, with Diana Ross, the Destiny album and inklings of his future with the Jacksons and his own future.  Songs like this, remind me of how great of a singer Michael really was. We as fans can get caught up in his spectacular performances, his popular hits and even his controversies as a celebrity. But this song, reminds of how special of a talent Michael Jackson was. I  cannot believe it has almost been 8 years since his passing and I remember where I was and when I heard the news when he passed.  However, we have his music to carry us on.




Check out the vintage video and groove along to the soulful cut.  One Love

Drizzy Drake's God's Plan

What's up everyone, I know I've been on hiatus but I've been listening to some great music lately, and some from one of my favorite artists, Drake. Drake dropped two new singles a couple weeks ago, with God's Plan and Diplomatic Immunity. These are hits already and God's Plan has already gone platinum. Drake also shot the music video and released it last week . The video is set in downtown Miami, FL and Drake gives back to the community and gives money to those in need, cars, and other charitable organizations in the process. It was just under a million, but money wasn't an issue for Drake.  Check out the hit song and the wonderfully shot video! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/XUqRem0W8L8
