GUEST EDITORIAL: Michael Jackson and Black Politics by Noted-journalist Charles Robinson, III

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:34:44 UT

The convergence of Michael Jackson and Black politics is part of the modern tapestry of 20th Century American life.

www.AAHF.net: SUNDAY, JULY 5, 2009 - ANITA BAKER

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:40:58 UT

Anita Baker was influenced not only by R&B, but jazz, gospel, and traditional pop, which gave her music a distinctly adult sophistication. Smooth and mellow, but hardly lifeless, it made her one of the most popular romantic singers of her time.

With her classy, refined brand of romantic soul, Anita Baker was one of the definitive quiet storm singers of the '80s. Gifted with a strong, supple alto, Baker was influenced not only by R&B, but jazz, gospel, and traditional pop, which gave her music a distinctly adult sophistication. Smooth and mellow, but hardly lifeless, it made her one of the most popular romantic singers of her time.
