Midnight Special Songlist
west coast music Midnight Special Please find attached the Midnight Special song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has.

Funk Is Its Own Reward": an Analysis of Selected Lyrics In
ABSTRACT AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES LACY, TRAVIS K. B.A. CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY DOMINGUEZ HILLS, 2000 "FUNK IS ITS OWN REWARD": AN ANALYSIS OF SELECTED LYRICS IN POPULAR FUNK MUSIC OF THE 1970s Advisor: Professor Daniel 0. Black Thesis dated July 2008 This research examined popular funk music as the social and political voice of African Americans during the era of the seventies. The objective of this research was to reveal the messages found in the lyrics as they commented on the climate of the times for African Americans of that era. A content analysis method was used to study the lyrics of popular funk music. This method allowed the researcher to scrutinize the lyrics in the context of their creation. When theories on the black vernacular and its historical roles found in African-American literature and music respectively were used in tandem with content analysis, it brought to light the voice of popular funk music of the seventies. This research will be useful in terms of using popular funk music as a tool to research the history of African Americans from the seventies to the present. The research herein concludes that popular funk music lyrics espoused the sentiments of the African-American community as it utilized a culturally familiar vernacular and prose to express the evolving sociopolitical themes amid the changing conditions of the seventies era.

Offering overblown fantasies of black power and heroism filmed on the sites of race rebellions of the late 1960s, blaxploitation films were objects of fierce debate among social leaders and commentators for the image of blackness they projected, in both its aesthetic character and its social and political utility. After some time spent as the "bad object" of African-American cinema history,[1] critical and theoretical interest in blaxploitation resurfaced in the 1990s, in part due to the way that its images-- and sounds--recirculated in contemporary film and music cultures. Since the early 1990s, a new generation of African-American filmmakers has focused

Biography Armed with Some of the Greatest Songs Ever Written, The
Biography Armed with some of the greatest songs ever written, The Miracles are still after 40 years, attracting enthusiastic audiences around the world. Motown’s first of many famous groups such as The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, The Commodores, and The Jackson Five, and of course The Miracles the very first group to sign to Motown records, continue to keep the Motown sound alive by performing songs, such as: “Shop Around”, “I Second That Emotion”, “Tears Of A Clown”, “Love Machine”, “You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me”, “The Tracks Of My Tears”, “Ooh Baby Baby” and many more. Their performances at the Nassau Coliseum, the Inaugural Gala in Washington, D.C. and the 4th of July celebration at Duke University with over 60,000 fans in attendance, was simply unbelievable. In 1956, Bobby Rogers, Smokey Robinson, Claudette Robinson, Ronnie White and Pete Moore, childhood friends became The Miracles, and embarked on a career that would surpass their wildest dreams. Berry Gordy Motown’s founder recorded and released “Shop Around” a number one smash on all the charts, establishing The Miracles and giving Motown their first gold seller, this was the beginning of the record company and the group success for many years to come. The Miracles and Motown Records became known throughout the entire world. Over the course of the years, The Miracles continued to record chart-topping hits, including “Ooo Baby Baby”, “Going To A Go-Go”, “More Love”, “Mickey’s Monkey” and “Tears Of A Clown”. The Miracles established themselves as one of the best groups of all times.

Cherry Hill, NJ (February 11, 2019) – Paul Dilks, former Congressional Candidate for the First Congressional District in New Jersey after making his return to local radio on February 4th on WNJC 1360 Monday – Friday afternoons from 3:00 – 6:00, decided to incorporate into his program a “Veteran of the Day” during the 4:00 hour. Paul has been involved in Veteran causes since his time on the radio a few years ago. “We owe our veterans so much as they may be asked to put their lives in harm’s way at any time to protect the freedoms we have as Americans. “ Paul explained. “I have become friends with many of the members of the Glassboro VFW and honoring them and other veterans just seemed like the right thing to do.” Also within the segment Paul will be honoring one Purple Heart recipient each week. He will be asking each honoree for a few songs from Paul’s play list that may have got them through their time of service or favorite songs of their youth. Paul is asking for nominees of veterans from his listening audience. Honoring a veteran each day allows us to honor well over 200 per year and Paul would like to have input from his audience. If you know a veteran you would like to honor, email Paul at [email protected] .

Ella: Just One of Those Things Ella Fitzgerald was a 15 year-old street kid when she won a talent contest in 1934 at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. Within months she was a star. “Ella: Just One of Those Things” follows her extraordinary journey over six decades as her sublime voice transforms the tragedies of her own life and the troubles of her times into joy. The film uses never-before-seen images and unheard interviews to bring Ella Fitzgerald to life and to tell the story of her music – a black woman who makes her career in the face of horrifying racism. View the trailer for Ella: Just One of Those Things Here is an Ella the world never knew – tough, thoughtful, funny, a dazzling musical innovator. The film also uncovers Ella’s commitment to the battle for Civil Rights; and it explores the conflicts that always haunted this intensely private woman: the struggle to reconcile her hunger for adoring audiences with her longing for a domestic life with her husband and son.

Junto Love Edition.Pdf
Volume 2 Issue 1 February 2019 “I had formed most of my ingenious acquaintances into a club for mental improvement called the Junto” Cover Story The Junto February 2019 A line from the world’s most famous love story seemed fitting for our Love Edition. Ro- meo and Juliet reminds us that life is short and you have to take the time to love and to live when the opportunity is given because you never know how long it might last. Don’t let other people get in your way and don’t try and fake your death. It won’t end well. 1 People The Junto February 2019 How To Love Yourself Ally Fuller - Copy Editor Valentine’s Day is a holiday that is most often associated with romance, love, and devoting our atten- tion to the special people in our lives whether that be a significant other, a friend, or a family member. Normally, we take this day to spend time with these people and shower them with gifts, but the one per- son we tend to overlook on this day is ourselves. This is understandable because we have been raised to put the needs of others above the needs of our own, and we’ve been told time and time again that if we do take time for ourselves, it is selfish. However, many studies done in recent years show that incor- porating self-love into your life is critical to maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health. In fact, having more self-love is imperative for anyone looking to lead a happy, healthy, fulfilling lifestyle.
