From Wikipedia
India Arie Simpson;was born in Denver, Colorado. Her musical skills were encouraged by both parents early in life. Her mother Joyce is a former singer (she was signed to Motown as a teenager and opened for Stevie Wonder and Al Green) and is now her stylist. Her father is former NBA basketball player Ralph Simpson. She has an older brother named J'On. According to a DNA analysis, she descends from the Mende people of Sierra Leone, the Kru people of Liberia and the Fula people of Guinea-Bissau.

After her parents divorced, Simpson's mother moved the family to Atlanta, Georgia when she was thirteen. Simpson had taken up a succession of musical instruments throughout her schooling in Denver, but her interest in the guitar while attending the Savannah College of Art and Design, in Savannah, led to a personal revelation about songwriting and performing. "When I started tapping into my own sensitivity, I started to understand people better. It was a direct result of writing songs", she said at the press release of her debut album, Acoustic Soul.

Co-founding the Atlanta-based independent music collective Groovement EarthShare (Groovement was the collective artists' name and EarthShare was their independent label name), her one-song turn on a locally-released compilation led to a second-stage gig at the 1998 Lilith Fair. In 1999, a Universal/Motown music scout spotted her and made an introduction to former Motown CEO Kedar Massenburg. Arie resides in Atlanta, Georgia.

Arie released her debut album Acoustic Soul on March 27, 2001. The album was met with positive reviews and commercial success. "Acoustic Soul" debuted number ten on the U.S. Billboard 200 and number three on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Within months, without the concentrated radio airplay that typically powers pop and rap albums, Acoustic Soul was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), selling 2,180,000 copies in the U.S. and 3,000,000 copies worldwide.

The album was also certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry and platinum by Music Canada. The album was promoted with the release of the lead single Video. Video attained commercial success peaking at forty seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 and becoming her highest charting song in the region to date.The albums second single Brown Skin failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but it became her highest charting single in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 29.

Arie followed the success of her debut on September 24, 2002 with the release of Voyage to India. It debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 109,000 copies. And topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, going Platinum by the RIAA. At the 2003 Grammy Awards, it won "Best R&B Album", and the single "Little Things" won "Best Urban/Alternative Performance". The song "Get It Together" was featured on many film soundtracks including "Brown Sugar" (2002) and Shark Tale (2004

Will Downing & Gerald Albright

Will Downing & Gerald Albright Playlist

Downing is known in the contemporary jazz and R&B music genres for his rich baritone vocals, and his interpretations of R&B and pop classics that stretch back to the early 1980s. Brooklyn vocalist and composer Will Downing has hovered on the cusp of stardom since the late '80s, occasionally making some arresting album cuts but never the major hit or string of records he needed to establish himself.

Downing was diagnosed with polymyositis -- a disorder causing weakness in joints and muscles. As a result, Downing recorded the majority of his vocals for 2008's After Tonight from a wheelchair. Buoyed by fan support, Downing continued to struggle against the disease and released the soulful Classique in 2009, followed by Lust, Love & Lies (An Audio Novel) on the Concord imprint in 2010.

Gerald Albright: among the most respected, multi-dimensional and sought after saxophonists to straddle the fence of jazz and R&B.

Gerald Albright may not have invented the concept of smooth jazz, but few artists have defined the genre with as much class and distinction. Tastefully blending the R&B soul of Maceo Parker into the evocative be-bop of John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly, he created a sound that is expressive and uplifting. A multi-instrumentalist with a deft knack for finding a sensual mellow groove, he has been a presence on contemporary jazz radio for over two decades.

The Music & Life Of Phyllis Linda Hyman

The late great Tony Award nominated Phyllis Hyman

Phyllis Hyman was a statuesque and enviable beauty with a powerful voice that touched the souls of listeners. Hyman never received the acclaim that many thought she was so worthy of, but this didn’t stop her from continuing to produce the music that she was meant to do.
