Just so many memories!

I think they DID feel something - how could you not?

Yes, I agree. I watched this the other night for the first time, and Diane Sawyer's remarks especially seemed genuine.

And Janet Jackson as well...

Marcus...did you go to the memorial concert?

I read that it will be broadcast Sunday evening at 8pm on GMC...I will certainly be watching.

This is one of my favorite songs...Tramaine is singing the lead...

Here is another song to start your day. It's from the first Love Alive LP...the snap, crackle and pop of vinyl brings back memories.

If memory and ear serve me well, this is Lynette singing the lead...

Please indulge me, y'all...I promise this is the last one, but who can hear this intro and not be flooded with warm memories of back in the day?

This song was sung at the funeral a zillion years ago of former Vice President Humphrey, and at countless other funerals, including my daddy.

It was his request before he passed that the choir sing it and my niece sing the lead...

Going Up Yonder...Tramaine Hawkins on lead...
