Yeah, I just finished typing the producers of The Oprah Winfrey show an email suggesting a show topic. I hope I did what everybody else is going to do. I know we can make a change in what's happening to our music, because we have already done it with The Roots. I suggested a show devoted to Unrecognized Musical Talents, I hope we can make a change people. I for one know that Tracey and Mercedes are two of the most talented singers in the industry, we just have to make the talent heard. <P><BR>

I thought this post would get a few more responses than this, and I honestly don't know if the person who put it up here was expecting this. I did email the producers of the Oprah Winfrey show on a certain show topic though. I suggested she and her producers air a show that would feature unrecognized musical talent. I don't know if that was strong enough, but I did do that....word bond. Uhmm, was I suppose to do that? I even got one of them automatic email responses. I mean......shit it can't hurt to try, right?<P><BR>****************************Febuary 23rd, 1999*********************************<P>It's about that time family, please thank The Roots for one of the best albums last year.

I think a great show topic idea is "The Future of R&B". it would be cool to have a panel with the jazzies, d'angelo, angie stone, and amel larrieux on there. <P>damn, there's a lot of good r&b out now (donell jones has a banger too, as I'm fond of pluggin' every now and again <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/wink.gif">).<P>Peace,<P>Spirit<BR><a href="http://amphibians.iuma.com" target="_blank">http://amphibians.iuma.com<;/a><BR><a href="http://infiniteloop.iuma.com" target="_blank">http://infiniteloop.iuma.com<;/a><BR>DC hip-hop is on the rise...<P>"High grade when I create beats/if I don't get signed/I'ma be the most dope bum that ever walked the streets" - <BR>Aychell (HL, of Khemystery)<P>"If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it's probably a tool of the conspiracy" - unknown

Spirit! What a great topic! "The Future of R&B?" (The question mark's mine). I'm sure there are plenty of us who would be interested in that topic. <P>Thanks everyone for bumping this up! I'll let everyone know when we get finished with our letter, in the meantime, e-mail Oprah at (oprah.com). You're continued support is needed, loved and appreciated.<P>Peace,<P>Mercedes<P>

I just wrote Oprah. C'mon, ya'll, let's support the fam. It's time for quality music to reign!<P>"Yo, check it, she the nectar the bee get close to" Mos Def

Hey, I think Oprah is a great idea, if you can get them on there, that's great, but good luck. Although stranger things have been known to happen.<P>Personally, I think we should try to get them on the Rosie O'donnell show. You see how she gave props to Macy Gray at the Grammies.....I'm sure if she heard the Jazzies songs she'd be singin it on her show. You saw the way she was singing Santana all the time on her show. And you know how she likes giving people a break. Remember the two guys from who wants to be a millionaire she gave cars? Her generosity is almost unmatched in Hollywood and I think we should try and get Rosie on our side. <P>as pharoahe monche says......GET THE FUCK UP!!!!!! Start sending emails to the rosie show and send some links with the jazzies music...send the url for the real movie for "the wound".
