Michael Jackson Tribute Video
Video Summary: While coping with the harsh reality of Michael’s death, I decided to honor him by producing a short video documentary of the Tribute to Michael Jackson which was held on 125th street in Harlem New York on June 30th of 2009.
Michael Jackson has always been one of my greatest musical inspirations. In fact, he and Prince are the major reasons why I was inspired to become a musician in the first place. Needless to say I was devastated when I heard that the King of Pop, my childhood hero Michael Jackson, was no longer with us. How could this be possible? The greatest entertainer the world has ever known is dead.
As if that terrible fact wasn’t enough, we’ve all had to come to grips with the possibility that the cause of his untimely demise is due to the negligence and unprofessional practices of his personal physician. If you can’t trust your own Doctor to do what’s best for you who can you trust? Another great one gone, and unnecessarily.
Black Cowboys in Harlem
The All American Cowboy. If a Black man isn’t the first picture to come to mind, don’t feel bad, you’re not alone. However, African American Cowboys drove great cattle herds across the early West. Yet images of black cowboys have been scarce in popular culture, giving the false impression that African Americans were not among the men and women who settled the West.
