I know Berry Gordy is not 95 years old looking that good! He has taken care of himself. Yes, this video shows him needing some assistance, but who in the hell wouldn't at 95. Where is Diana Ross and their daughter Rhonda? Hopefully, they were both in attendance with the rest of the Ross family. Just saw Stevie in concert in Baltimore in October and he spoke so much about working for Berry Gordy when he was a teenager. He loves Berry, dearly. I knew Smokey had to be there, because Smokey and Berry are like blood-brothers. Judge Mathis looking good with that forever handsome Jesse Jackson. Berry has a few grown kids, besides his daughter with Diana. I wonder if all of them were there. Remember Hazel Gordy who used to be married to Jermaine Jackson back in the day? It would have been nice to see her.
Arrow maker 1 happy birthday to you what a blessing, I share this in memories of the Davenport sisters, Topaz, Curt Jones and famiies,my family, and my God Father, the Great Late Quincy Jones.
Just seeing how hard it is for him to get out the car I think they should’ve had a party at his home where he wouldn’t have to do so much kind of hurts to see all the struggling celebrities and politicians I know it’s a part of getting out
American music forms: Spirituals,, Blues, Ragtime, Jazz, Country,, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk R&B, Rock n Roll, Doo-Wop, Soul, Funk, Disco, House and of course Rap and Hip Hop---all enjoy well documented Black American roots coupled with undeniable Black American influence---whether directly or indirectly.. Latinos -- puerto ricans particularly -- explain how you created or co-created yet another installment in the legacy of Black musical expression known as Rap and Hip Hop, yet didn't create or co-create any of the elements of the 14 or so Black American music forms that preceeded it? Or why you were nowhere to be found and absent during the creative and inventive foundation outlining the forms of Black American musical expression, brilliance and greatness throughout any of this or even prior to the 14 or so Black American music forms that are mentioned above. Yet then, all of a sudden--out of nowhere, you folks come along and falsely claim latinos and/or puerto ricans created or co-created Rap and Hip Hop 50/50 half n half (which is the evidence-free and utter nonsense being peddled by fraudsters like derrick colon, radical latino, fat joe and numerous other un-informed and envious latinos. And these of course are claims latinos never mentioned, verbalized or asserted during Rap and Hip Hop's inception during the early 1970's). Latinos/puerto rican claims of "50/50--half & half creation and co-creation just don't add up---it makes no sense and are increasingly coming under heavy scrutiny which is leading to these claims being easily debunked--as they should've been. Moreover, the hateful and many times racist criticism directed at Black American youth by the racist white media over having created Rap and Hip Hop -- latinos -- particularly puerto ricans -- and jamaicans NEVER came forward to denounce the vicious onslaught---yet 50 years later you want to take credit for this FBA art form that you did not create..
