Eubanks was perfect as Jay Leno’s bandleader and sidekick. He wants to get back to other aspects of his career, including recording and performing. It was (reportedly) the bandleader’s decision. IT WAS A surprise to hear that Kevin Eubanks will leave “The Tonight Show” shortly after Jay Leno returns on March 1. Patti LaBelle always has some sort of new project going on (books, barbeque sauce, etc.) Soon she will introduce a line of fine linen, to be sold at Macy’s. Proper eating and regular exercise are the keys, not surgery. In preparation for her next film role, portraying Winnie Mandela, she has lost a whopping 56 pounds. When Jennifer Hudson makes a decision to get in shape, she means it.

1 album in the country and earning Gold certification. “Soldier of Love,” her first album in a decade, sold 502,000 copies within the first seven days of its release, making it the No. Sade’s fans were obviously anxious for a new album by the jazzy star. Now there is talk that he might take over Johnson Publishing Company (Ebony, Jet) which, reportedly, has been having some financial issues, like most print media these days. His company, Magic Johnson Enterprises, has been hugely successful. When asked about this at the time, Birdsong was uncomfortable and said, “I really don’t like talking about that.”ĮARVIN “MAGIC” JOHNSON sure knows a potentially good business deal when he sees one. 1 hit are Julia and Maxine Waters, from the family vocal group the Waters, not Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong. The actual background singers on that classic No. May we all live lives that bring people to say, “Betcha By Golly WOW”.And maybe you didn’t know that “Someday We’ll Be Together” was supposed to be Diana Ross’ first solo record, but Berry Gordy decided to release it as the last single by “Diana Ross & the Supremes” instead. I hope when you meet Joe from the Arledge Hall plantation you’ll be inspired to sing, too. He wouldn’t do the real Joe justice if he didn’t sing.

Since my series is set in the 1800’s, the fictional Joe doesn’t sing, “Betcha By Golly Wow” in an Aaron Neville voice. But I hope the fictional Joe can give readers a glimpse of the gift he was to those who knew him. Obviously, the fictional Joe still can’t hold a candle to the real man we all knew and loved. In the story, the fictional Joe will demonstrate not only the real Joe’s personality, but also his strength of godly character through the greatest adversity. This is why I have developed a main character in my new series after his legacy. And he still inspires others to personify that same joy. And he left this world a better place for those that knew him. His tagline, “Leave it better than you found it” wasn’t just something he said. He touched so many lives with his infectious positivity. He was a high school football coach and a great mentor to his players. He loved Jesus, he loved his family, and he loved others. Whether it was time, money, service, or encouragement, he was willing to offer whatever he could to whomever needed it. If someone needed something, he’d give it. If something needed to be done, Joe would do it.

Joe didn’t know how to whine or complain. It’s funny how I always remember Joe singing that song because his personality, character, and life as a whole was truly, Betcha By Golly, WOW. In all of the years I’ve known him, I never heard anyone say anything negative about his character. He really did have a knack for lifting moods everywhere he went. You couldn’t stay down with Joe in the room.

I have fond memories of Joe singing, “Betcha By Golly Wow” in his best high-pitched Aaron Neville voice. And when it comes to Joe’s life, there is much to celebrate. My sister was cheated from having support from family and friends, and those family and friends were cheated from having any closure by attending a celebration of life service. Only my sister and her children, Joe’s parents, and Joe’s siblings were allowed to attend. My brother-in-law Joe passed away in April of last year in the middle of the pandemic.

That was a great Christmas memory for him and my husband. If my memory serves me correctly,they attended the game the day before Christmas Eve. Saints game in the New Orleans Superdome. For Christmas one year, my husband surprised him with tickets to the Rams vs. My brother-in-law Joe loved Aaron Neville. Aaron Neville did a nice cover of it as well. I have always loved the song “Betcha By Golly Wow” by The Stylistics. The inspiration for a main character in my new series
