Absolutely ever since the 90s the shift, the game plan to ultimately destroy the family structure in our community has been bought and paid for. One thing about it is that we need to stop selling out to our own destruction. We need to stop supporting the whoremongers the no good images of the black man, putting up with his disrespect of you ladies, putting the trash talk record on a throne making him rich. These affirmations that he puts to music and beats, travel infinitely sound travels. It's in the ears of God and he is not pleased with it, so neither should you be when you hold the key to life you are the Gateway to heaven. Don't support that kind of music.

Thank you Ashley!!! One of the greatest groups back in the 80s and 90s. I hope that you go down the rabbit hole and blow up your channel by doing these foundational groups because you have a phenomenal history to uncover!!! The Gap Band (Outstanding, You Dropped the Bomb on Me, etc.), The SOS Band, The Isley Brothers, LTD & Jeffrey Osborne, Earth, Wind and Fire, Shalamar & Howard Hewitt, Teddy Pendergrass (My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration LIVE) Luther Vandross, Barry White, Debarge and so many others!!! You can do as other reactors do and try a few a day (if your camera holds up!!!) I am excited about your potential and discovery of the world before. I certainly am here for advice and support to the younger generations. Let's do this!!! ⭐🎙️🎵

Back then you had to know how to play an instrument and not just sing. Charlie and his brothers all from Oklahoma and sang in there dad’s church. Back then the church was the sounding board for artists. Today, majority of new singers can not play an instrument and try to sound like other popular artists. Also back then you knew who was singing because each one or group had distinctive sounds and vocals. Today it’s hard to distinguish who’s who…
