Tell me no....

I’m reaching for my dreams and you're so quick to say what I can doYou criticize my actions but I don't see you standing in my shoesI'm going the wrong way, I’m doing the wrong thingsEvery word just gives me fuelSo come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
And tell me no, I'll show you I canAnd tell me no and I’ll dig my feet right inTell me no, just tell me that I can’t winCome on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong, go on and go, tell me no
Every step I take, you're right there trying to block my next moveAnd if you're making me feel bad, then tell me then do you feel goodI'm just human I know what I'm doing is what my heart tells me I shouldSo come on come on come on come on come on come on
Tell me no and I'll show you I canAnd tell me no and I’ll dig my feet right inTell me no, just tell me that I can’t winCome on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong, go on and go, tell me no
No no no no no no no, it motivates me more and moreAnd I think it's time you know, giving me something to look forAnd I can't wait for the day, I can rub things in your faceAnd I ain't gonna stop til I'm done, I reach the top, I'm no.1For every time you try and tell me no, all it makes me keep on, keep it on
Tell me no and I'll show you I canAnd tell me no and I’ll dig my feet right inTell me no, just tell me that I can’t winCome on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong, go on and go, tell me no
Tell me no and I'll show you I canAnd tell me no and I’ll dig my feet right inAnd tell me no, just tell me that I can’t winTell Me NoCome on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong, go on and go, tell me no

Perry Blackwell

I love the 1959 movie "Pillow Talk" which starred Doris Day and Rock Hudson.  One of the reasons why it's in my top movie selection is because of the Singer/Actress Perry Blackwell. She only had one scene in the movie and she sang for most of that scene, but what she did with her expressions and mannerisms spoke much much more. She was also in the 1960 movie "Dead Ringer" with Bette Davis and Karl Malden. There is not much info on her available, but I did discover via a message written by her daughter, that she is a classically trained Pianist and self taught organist. She played Hammond Organ for years. Also she played with  Sonny Stitt, Wes Montgomery Bros. , Roy Milton and  Louis Jordan. She worked many gigs around such people as Nancy Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Joe Williams, Freddie Hubbard, Jackie Wilson and Red Foxx. She worked on the New York jazz scence for a few years, Best known for her 7 year stint at The Parisian Room in Los A

Black History : Nina Simone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nina Simone  (born  Eunice Kathleen Waymon ; February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003) was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, and  civil rights  activist. She worked in a broad range of musical styles including  classical ,  jazz , blues ,  folk ,  R&B ,  gospel , and  pop . The sixth child of a preacher's family in  North Carolina , Simone aspired to be a concert pianist. Her musical path changed direction after she was denied a scholarship to the prestigious  Curtis Institute of Music  in  Philadelphia , despite a well-received audition. Simone said she later found out from an insider at Curtis that she was denied entry because she was black. So as to fund her continuing musical education and become a classical pianist, she began playing in a small club in Philadelphia where she was also required to sing. She was approached for a recording by Bethlehem Records, and her rendering of " I Loves You, Porgy " was
