I’m playing some more Freddie Jackson on the stereo/converter this afternoon.
Yesterday I said that Freddie Jackson’s “Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)” song was the best on the album of the same name, but I woke up this morning with the “You Are My Lady” tuned playing through my head … and all day long!
I think that I like it even better! So, here is a video clip on “You Are My Lady” from the “Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake) album.
Enjoy!

I'm finally getting around to converting all of my old LP's/albums that I haven't played in years (but I don't want to throw out) from vinyl to digital files.
It's a great project and it's going to take me some time, but I'm trying to do a couple a day when I have the time.I'm sure that you'll remember quite a few of the songs that I'll be mentioning, especially if you were around in the 70's, 80's & 90's. Great times for music and a lot of fantastic groups from "back in the day".You'll probably notice that I'm a "romantic at heart" and I love the old love ballads that I grew up with such as The Tempatations "A Song for You", or Rick James and Teena Marie's "Fire and Desire". How about Luther Vandross and "A House is not a Home"? Powerful soul singers like Marvin Gaye with his "Let's Get It On" and "Here My Dear" albums. Don't forget Larry Gramham and his big hits "One in a Million You" and "Just be my Lady". My man Teddy Pendergrass and his classics "Come On and Go With Me", "Turn off the Lights". What about Barry White and "I've got so much love to give, it's going to take a lifetime"? Let's not forget the great women singers back in the day like Natalie Cole and her songs ""I Can't Say No (if you ask me)" and "Our Love"."Wow, don't songs like that bring back memories?.... good and not so good memories? I you're like me, you can probably remember exactly where you were, and what you were and doing, and who you were doing it with on so many of these great songs. (<:Of course, I could "funk it up" with the best of them back in the day too with some of my all time favorite groups such as George Clinton's Parliment and Funkedelic bands. How about Bootsy Collins? Everybody say Bootsy!!! How about Cameo? The Bar-Kays? Sly & The Family Stone? Con Funk Shun? I'll provide a nice mix of R/B, soul, easy listening, jazz and I might even have a little country to throw in there from time to time. (smile!)So, sit back, relax, click on the video links and enjoy our walks down memory lane.I'll keep you posted as I go.I’m changing up a little bit and now will be converting my Jackson 5 / Michael Jackson albums.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
It's great to see Kareem continuing to do good work! He's always been so intellectual and deep! He’s a man with so many different facets than just basketball. I've always admired that about him! Here's an excerpt from my book "Standing Above the Crowd" as I detail the experiences of playing against the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.Enjoy!I often tell the story of how as a rookie during my very first professional game playing for the Seattle SuperSonics in the Kingdome in Seattle, I was lined up against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem was already a ten- to twelve-year established veteran and well on his way to becoming one of the greatest players ever to play the game. I remember checking into the game for just a few minutes and given the instructions to go guard Kareem. As we were lining up on the foul line I remember thinking to myself, “Wow, here is the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and I'm going to have to figure out a way to not get embarrassed out here.” I also remember thinking to myself, “Kareem already has over 20,000 points in his career and I've got zero.” It was truly one of my first tests as far as trying to establish myself as an NBA player. I was nervous as all-get-out, but after jostling with Kareem and “bodying” with him for a few minutes, I started to calm down and felt a little more comfortable.In my estimation, Kareem was the most unstoppable player to ever play the game. With that fantastic skyhook of his, he could shoot and score at will and with great accuracy. There was nothing you could do to slow down Kareem other than hope and pray that his teammates didn't feed him the ball all night long and/or he was having an extremely rare night off…but that hardly ever happened.So that's one variation of the question I'm asked as far as “who's the toughest or greatest player you’ve ever played against?”… I always answer that Kareem was the most unstoppable, hands- down!

Today I converted another Isley Brother album to digital. It was the Grandslam album featuring a couple of great cuts such as “Tonight Is The Night (If I Had You)”, and “I Once Had Your Love (and I Can’t Let Go)”.
