Soul Holiday


Soul Holiday


 With Christmas just a few days away, I've been putting the finishing touches on presents, completing my Christmas dinner shopping and spending some much needed time with family and friends. I'm thankful for so much because I realize that there is always someone that has less and if they're able to find happiness with what they have, then why can't I be able to enjoy what God has blessed me with; which is an awesome fiance', wonderful and beautiful children and a healthy and happy family. And isn't sharing love, happiness and peace is what this season is all about?



In this season of sharing, I wanted to give the gift of some great holiday music; some new and some not so new, but still and all just right for the soul lover in you. Check out these amazing tunes from two good friends of mine.




Aaron Harding & Kem!




Aaron Hardin is an incredibly gifted musician that's been on the indie scene for many years. Well known for his work with Yazarah, Jesse Boykins and Eric Roberson [you can caught him on Erro's Picture Perfect video rockin' the keys], he came out last year with his own compilation of soulful and jazzy tracks that eluded that though Christmas can get so cold, his hot work of art in music would definitely keep you warm! But, don't just take my word for it, check out one of these old time favorites, "I'll Be Home for Christmas" featuring Levi Stephens on Coming Home for Christmas...





Be sure to pick this album up on Amazon.com and visit his website: http://grooveworksent.com.

Two-time Grammy Award®-nominated Motown artist KEM is back with his Holiday Album, What Christmas Means out in stores now! He considers this to be the "most soulful, romantic, faith-filled" album to date!



 “I think people will be pleasantly surprised at how sensual and romantic this album is, considering it’s a holiday record. Christmas is a holiday of being warm and cozy with the one you love...I believe it can be even more romantic and intimate than Valentine’s Day. My Christmas album is the best music I have recorded to date, and my hope is that people will be playing it for years to come.” - KEM


WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS is the fourth Motown release by lifelong Detroiter, KEM. The 10-song album consists of five original Christmas compositions and five traditional holiday classics.



The final sequence for WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS is as follows: Track 1: Glorify the King – Track 2: What Christmas Means – Track 3: A Christmas Song for You – Track 4: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas – Track 5: Christmas Time Is Here - Track 6: The Christmas Song - Track 7: Be Mine for Christmas (feat. Ledisi) – Track 8: Merry Christmas Baby – Track 9: We Three Kings – Track 10: Doo Wop Christmas (That’s What Christmas Is All About).
The album is highlighted by a duet with Verve recording artist, Ledisi, on “Be Mine For Christmas,” co-written by KEM and new collaborator Melanie Rutherford. The album also includes orchestra arrangements by Motown legend, Paul Reiser.
Two truly unique sounds just for you...Merry Christmas!

Comedian Gerald Kelly Gives the Gift of Laughter and So Much More...

Many know actor, comedian Gerald Kelly for various reasons, but the one that he holds the highest acclaim for is being a stand-up comic with the gift to help people through their life's challenges. The gift that he has isn't just to make people laugh, but to make them cry; cry tears of joy, releasing frustrations of hurt, pain and sometimes defeat. He holds this to be the true purpose for his career as a comedian. If you haven’t heard of this comedic genius in the arena of Comedy, you haven’t heard from one of the greatest that ever did it. The joke about not being the homework parent, but trying to do his son’s homework for him is classic. His son ends up coming home crying about his grade that he received from that assignment, which was not one, but two zeros. When asked by his dad, why did get ‘two’ zeros, the boy explained, “One is for me and one is for you”… and that is just one joke of many that helped build a great career in Stand-Up Comedy.   Ge...
