Karen Briggs

 


In the beginning, I saw a video clip of a woman playing the violin at Xen Lounge and asked, “Who is this woman playing the violin? She’s playing Gangsta’s Paradise any way she wants to. I mean, she could make the violin sound almost like a guitar. I was stunned. Everything you heard of the original rap song and then some as far as music.

Marla Gibbs

 


I was looking back at photographer Gina Walker’s photos who has pictures of Marla Gibbs standing with Ian Foxx at Xen Lounge. It’s good to have those memories.

Will Smith

 


During the time I first heard Will Smith, everybody was rapping back in the 80’s. The radio played a remix of rappers. And when I heard Will Smith’s “Girl’s In the World Ain’t Nothing But Trouble”, I was lost in the story. It was the original 1986 version. Any time a rap song makes you listen, it’s saying something, and Will Smith is a great story telling rapper. That’s the first thing I noticed when I first heard him rap. …….

Remembering the Group Royalty

 

Royalty was an R&B group from the 80’s. There were 3 girls in the group & one guy. In 1985, they released their first single “Super Love\ Are You Happy” on Skin 2 Skin Records. It’s unknown whether or not the single made the charts. I remember the group in the year of 1987, when they released the single “Anyone in Love”.
