That’s Show Biz w/ Chuck Darrow and ME! Radio Broadcast
I was disappointed when the show ended in January of 2019 due to loss of sponsorship, and I think Chuck was ready to pursue other business opportunities. At the same time, although I would have continued to do the show for as long as he wanted me, and I loved the rapport Chuck and I had on the radio; there was a small part of me that was relieved when the show ended, as

Guest Blogger: 18th Annual Critics Choice Awards Round Up

SPARKLE 1976 vs. SPARKLE 2012
For anyone unfamiliar, Sparkle can easily be confused with DreamGirls, or even, Mariah Carey's 2001 bomb at the box office, Glitter. But Sparkle came first. It is the story of 3 choir singing sisters (siblings) who for a brief period of time become singing sensations in Harlem (1958), but are brought low by an abusive gangster and the pitfalls of reaching for a dream...
