 Holy Hip-Hop Rapper and International Rap Recording Artist, Composer and Minister Kurtis Blow Walker announced the formation of a new recording group today.
Kurtis Blow and The Trinity, a holy hip-hop recording group will be in town, April 7th, 2007 to perform at Greater Union Baptist Church on North Guillemard Street for the beginning of his tour. This stop will lead up to the release of his April 24th album release with a holy hip-hop tour for his epic peace and God changing Anthem songs “Just Do It” and “Tha Block Iz Hot."
Blow performed the entire month of February in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, and other European locations. Now, Blow is back in the United States. Kurtis Blow and The Trinity will be performing in various locations around Florida and throughout the U.S. Blow's objective is to bring together children, teens and young adults from numerous races, countries, creeds, religions, and colors and relay his message to take the streets back from violence.
The purpose of the CD entitled "Just Do It" is Peace in the Streets and the CD is to be used as a mechanism to create awareness of a much larger goal and to spread the message of peace and harmony to the world through the power of rap -instead of killing and stealing. |

 Six months ago Blues Great Kenny Neal was told by his doctor he has to rest and get medical treatment for his illness. Kenny posted a message on his site stating that he would be putting down his guitar for one year.
You know you can never keep a good man down. So it stands with Kenny. He has been attending a few jam sessions at a few local clubs around the Palo Alto, California area where he now resides. He is also in the process of completing a Book about his life in the music business. And what stories he has to tell. You will get a good look into the contents of his book after you hear the interview we conducted Saturday March 24, 2007.
The picture on the left was taken in 1979 in Canada with (left to right)

 The year is 1988 and Mr. Tyrone Davis is still at the peak of his career. Music videos are becoming the "IN Thing" to do.
Yet, like many projects, this one seemed to have fallen through the cracks. Leave it up to the Chittlin Circuit to continue bringing you, our listeners and readers, the very best in Southern Soul, Blues and R&B. We have the complete 1 hour show first recorded in 1988, in our Video Archives.
We would not however, be able to bring you this Tyrone Davis program without the help of Mr. Don Samuel who just so happens to be the host of the show.
Pictured on the right is Don Sam and his wife Marilyn, 19 years after the filming of the Tyrone Davis program we are showing here. Don is currently Production Director and On Air Personality at KCOH Radio in Houston, Texas.
AND If you look closely at the band you will also see a very young Trumpet Player who's name is "Darryl Thompson". Darryl was Tyrone's road manager for well over 20 years. Stay tuned because we will be interviewing Darryl and getting the complete scoop on the legend Tyrone Davis. A picture taken of Darryl in February 2007 is on the lower left.
So sit back, relax and get ready to spend the next 55 minutes with Tyrone, The Wonder Boy Just Click Here |

 Before I start this story, I want to thank Ms. Tia Carroll (Best Female Vocalist of the year 2007) and Ronnie Stewart (Director - Bay Area Blues Society) for inviting the Chittlin Circuit Magazine to this event. Not only did they roll out the RED Carpet for the artist the Chittlin Circuit walked the Welcome Carpet.
This Hall of Fame Show included such greats as "Teddy 'Blues Master' Watson, pictured above, (cousin to Johnny 'Guitar' Watson), Lenny Williams, Little Stanley, Duane Thompson, Terrible Tom Bowen and a host of other Blues singing artist. Chittlin Circuit friend Ernie Johnson was also honored with an award (R&B Male Vocalist of the Year).
The show started with a Gospel group of five ladies known as "The Stars Of Glory". If you never had the chance to testify, these ladies would surley get you in the mood.
Duane Thompson and Tia Carroll also gave toe tapping Performances. A Few of the long time Blues singers like "Terrible Tom Bowen" and Teddy 'Blues Master' Watson showed why they are still in the business.
The entire event went off with out a hitch and the crowd loved every minute of it.
As usual the Chittlin Circuit took well over 100 pictures of the event and you can view them in the Photo Gallery or just sit back and watch the Slide Show
Check out the Chittlin Circuit radio, because we will be adding alot of new music, all from the West Coast.
