Look at my old classmate, Tony Tatum I'm proud of him, showing luv all the way from pure Michigan.... we all use to sing back in junior high... any more michiganders in the building🤗💜🤗
@ MzKalliBaby83, You're absolutely right about that. You know that the Apollo is legendary, so Rickey need a name for his show. Perhaps "The South Apollo Show" or something like that. Rickey Smiley got something here. He has the potential to create a new Apollo Show like show here in Birmingham, Alabama and to bring this show to a major network. It definitely can cross over into mainstream.
@Tony Tatum - You sang your butt off and poured your whole ❤ out on that stage!!! That's an extremely hard song to sing even for the most advanced artists. You did that sir and I pray 🙏 God's best for your career this year!!! Much love my brotha!!!
when i clicked on this i was like aint no way he's gonna pull this off. that might be one of the hardest songs to sing. matter of fact i didn't think anyone but Lenny could sing it. had me in my feelings too. damn.
I was on TikTok after talking to my dad about my Uncle who passed away and heard this song... it was his favorite song he would sing for us... lol I felt like he was trying to comfort me and now here we are again. 🕊❤🕊 this made me cry for real. This man knows this place he's singing about. It's real to him. I felt it.
So proud for my dear friend...such a long time coming...stardom is deserved. I will hire my friend for my wedding in the near future. Go Tony T.!!!!!!!!
