Need To Hear: Betty Wright: The Movie

This one is strictly for those who love listening to real music and those who love old-school music/soul music. Singing legend Betty Wright's latest musical offering should be a pleasant musical offering for weary ears. The Roots join the R&B legend on a musical cornucopia which features: Joss Stone, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and others. I'm sure with the latter two, Betty will probably attract a whole new audience to her vocal style and talent. Most of the 'youngins' see her only as an hairstyle instead of the music legend she really is. I will going to Amazon real soon to place my order.

The Retro Glamour of Betty Wright

Afrolista of the Week: Jill Scott

Actress, Poet and Songtress-Jill (Jilly From Philly) Scott

I'm loving Jill Scott's beautiful Afro! This lady wears the Afro like no one else can and she has me now wanting to break out the pick and restyle my own hair into a fro! Over the years Jill has given us various natural hair ideas and a style all her own and I love her for giving it to us straight. Jill is also a new mommy, to a baby boy named Jett Hamilton Roberts.

Be sure to show your love to Jill by watching the Lifetime Movie Network's Original Movie- Sins of the Mother, a touching story about the harsh realities of love, forgiveness and the closest of bonds between mother and daughter, which is based on author Carleen Brice's moving novel, Orange Mint and Honey, the film features Scott as reformed alcoholic named Nona. Sins of the Mother will premiere Sunday, February 21, 2010, at 8pm ET/5pm PT, on Lifetime Movie Network.

Look at the "Glorious Afro" this Queen is wearing!

Be sure to also show your love by supporting Jill Scott and the rest of the cast of  the movie “Why Did I Get Married Too?” which hits theaters on April 2 of this year.
