 Michael Jackson
Brian Oxman, a Jackson family attorney, said he was told by brother Randy Jackson that Michael Jackson collapsed at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. When paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
It is rumored that Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.
One of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.
La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.
Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

 Koko Taylor
Taylor died Wednesday June 3, 2009 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital about two weeks after having surgery for a gastrointestinal bleed, said Marc Lipkin, director of publicity for her record label, Alligator Records, which made the announcement.
"The passion that she brought and the fire and the growl in her voice when she sang was the truth," blues singer and musician Ronnie Baker Brooks said Wednesday. "The music will live on, but it's much better because of Koko. It's a huge loss."
Taylor appeared on national television numerous times, and was the subject of a PBS documentary and had a small part in director David Lynch's "Wild at Heart."
In the course of her career, Taylor was nominated seven times for Grammy awards and won in 1984.
Taylor last performed on May 7 in Memphis, Tenn., at the Blues Music Awards.

 Karen Washington “God blessed you with a gift to use, give Him the glory and praises at all times so that souls will be set free, healing, deliverance and many lives will be saved through your ministry.” These are encouraging words that Karen Washington’s father whispered to her just two weeks before he passed away in 1995.
And to this day, she holds to those death bed comments believing that God has elevated her to an upper level despite the trials and tribulations that life has taken her through. Karen L. Washington is one of South Georgia’s most anointed and favorable women of God female solo artist.
She started singing at a very young age. She traveled with her parents, visiting churches and observing the way they would minister through songs inspired her. In 1975 Karen formed a family group and named it “The Family Starlites.” The family performed together for many years until her father’s health failed and God called him to glory.
“My father told me to continue singing and let God use me in a mighty way. He said, ‘Most of all, whatever you do in your singing, let it be real.” In 1995 she formed a group called Karen Washington and The New Singing Stars. |

 Riki Brooks But with a different twist – one that’s not only music related but with a focus on your health. Riki Brooks, producer of Atlanta’s Gospel Fest 2008 (see the pictures in our Photo Gallery) presents GOSPEL FEST 2009 MUSIC & HEALTH CARE EXPO at a Pastor’s Appreciation Luncheon on April 18, 2009 at the Sheraton Airport Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia (see details below).
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” (1 Corinthians 6:19).
Riki believes that we need to move beyond merely talking about the physical benefits of good diet, exercise and time management. “Feeling good is not the ultimate objective; living in a healthy relationship with God is. God’s word clearly supports living a healthy lifestyle.
Disease, heredity and physiological breakdowns may throw our bodies out of whack, but more often than not our bodies are responding to the environment we create for them
Not eating proper foods, not getting proper rest, little or no physical activity, worrying, and the list goes on and on” says Riki. |
