TWO GIANTS OF BLACK ENTERTAINMENT….A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTING….3RD INSTALLMENT
UNIVERSE AND WEAVE IN HARMONY
This week and weekend has been difficult in the entertainment world. Issac Hayes and Bernie Mack have passed away. Their creativity touched our lives in ways we could not have imagined.
I was terribly shocked when I heard it on the radio about both black men. Issac Hayes was a part of my youth and growing up in the seventies. I grew up hearing the theme of Shaft on the television and movie theatres. My recollection was a drivng theme song that you could sing and enjoy. There were not as many black television programs on back then. So that was a part of my youth.
Bernie Mack was and is a part of my son’s youth. We would sit together and watch Bernie Mack and his television adoptive children go through problems that families go through. Some of the problems were rediculous…some so funny and hilarious….some cute and sentimental!
Yes, we must applaud these two steller men who have taken their final bow…and wish all who come in their path walk in their foot steps- to take up their mantels and promote more entertainment for all.
Thank you Bernie Mack.
Thank you Issac Hayes.
Rest in Peace.
