In 1997,Boy George and Culture Club partnered with music television network VH1 to do a reunion tour which was a smashing success all around. At the time VH1 had a concert series called “Storytellers” where bands would perform in an intimate setting for a small group of fans and do what else tell the stories of their careers, how certain songs had come to be, and naturally sing the songs as well. Culture Club did a “Storytellers” and it was great and out of that special came what would be their first live album to my knowledge. I got recorded on a video tape and watched it over and over and over again.

Little Sister
I am a huge fan of the South African duo which consists of sisters Jenni Lonmon and Debbi Lonmon. Of course, I'm biased as Jenni took care of my mom for six months and bonded with her, and became best friends with her, and has been the source of much laughter and great times for me.
Rick Henry ChristopherPublished 4 months ago in Beat My favorite albums part one: Selena’s live albums
Selena won her Grammy in 1994 for this wonderful live album that she and her band released and recorded in 1993 appropriately titled “Live”. It’s an album that is chocked full of Selena’s hit at the time that have become classics with time. The album takes the best from every album that the band had recorded from when they signed with EMI Latin at the time to 1993 when the album was recorded. Recording the album where they recorded it was a homecoming because it was Selena y Los Dinos hometown heroes in Corpus Christi Texas at the famous collesium of the city.

So it’s the season of Christmas. The mass media loves to erase thanksgiving, but I digress.Yes it has a sorted history, but it is still funny to see. Also there’s no money in that holiday. So I understand why they move on to Christmas so fast. Now with all this holiday cheer, comes the music we listen to every year.The same standards we have on rotation during this time good or bad, sung by everyone under the sun. The one artist who’s taking this Christmas music thing to the bank is Mariah Carey! She’s the only one who really cashed in on this holiday every year. The queen of Christmas as she’s called, who by the way just extended her run at #1 with “All I Want For Christmas Is You”at 16 Weeks on the Billboard Global 200 Chart. This season is so synonymous with her who knows if we’ll ever get a “regular” album from her again. At this point she doesn’t need to, and my question is why aren’t other singers doing the same thing?
