Tank: Maybe I Deserve

     On this day of June 3o,1990 New Kids on the block’s single ” Step by Step” top the charts for 3 weeks.

In 1979, Anita Ward’s ” Ring My Bell” topped the charts for 2 weeks.

 Yesterday, the music world lost Schon Jomel Crawford, one of the greatest musicians in New York City.  Although, I didn’t know Schon many musicians from across the board came to the Village Underground last night to pay homage to Crawford and his family.  As an outsider looking in, many came together to perform not only his favorite songs, but they shared the fondest memories of Schon and all the doors he opened for all the young musicians.  

      Crawford, a performer, mentor, brother and son was also a very successful songwriter.   He has received many awards for his work, but Schon is  mostly recognized for “Love Like This” by Faith Evans.  He collaborate with Sean “Puffy” Combs, Clerence Emery and Ronald Anthony Lawrence for that specific track.  

     In addition, to all the musicians and singers pouring their hearts out about Schon, one point that was definitely made about this man; Not only was he talented, but he always made sure to reach out and touch each and every person that came along his path, which was one of the most overwhelming feeling of joy to experience last night and for that I will also pay my respects to Schon and his family.

   In 1977, on this day  Muhammed Ali at the age of 37 announced that he was retiring from the world of boxing as the world’s heavyweight champion.

     On this day Friday the 26th , The shock over Micheal’s death has yet to pass.  I myself is still in shock, because growing up in a country before I even spoke english, I knew who Micheal Jackson was and what he stood for.  As the day continues, many people are celebrating his death in many ways; from the radio station’s dedications, to fans blasting his music in their cars, people surrounding the hospital where his body lay, to people camping out in front of his house and people all over the world mourning. 

      Micheal jackson was not only a great performer, but a true humanitarian. His Music reached through many different cultures and for that he will be admired, loved and appreciated for everything that he had contributed in our culture. May god bless your soul and may your family stay strong through this sad moment.

  I can’t believe that I  am here right now blogging to everyone about the greastest pop singer in our generation.  Micheal Jackson, on this day at 6:28pm has been declared dead from cardiac arrest at the UCLA medical center hospital in Los Angeles, California.  I dont even know what else to say, except for how exceptional and talented Micheal Jackson was and it is really really sad for me to say good bye to man that I grew up watching and Idealized.  Micheal Jackson is survived by three children and his family.

      George Micheal celebrates his 46th birthday today.  I know some people are like who cares about George Micheal, but this artist has had over 80 million record sales and has had his fair share of influence within the pop culture.
