KC and the Sunshine Band Will Be "Feeling You" In 2015

Features Songs by Sixties Legends Bob Dylan, Ben E. King, The Kinks, The Righteous Brothers, Jackie DeShannon, Aaron Neville & More

Face it everyone loved KC and the Sunshine band at the height of their popularity in pop music. Who could resist songs like "Shake Your Booty" & "I'm Your Boogie Man?"

Well they have a new album of 60's covers coming in 2015, yep KC and the Sunshine Band are going to be "Feeling You" in the New Year, oh yes they are!

 

KC and The Sunshine Band dominated the 1970s, ruling the airwaves with a unique meeting of Caribbean, pop, R&B and latin styles that inspired infectious grooves and the distinctive Sunshine Sound, producing such #1 hits as “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Boogie Shoes,” "Shake Your Booty,” and many more. Before he impacted the world, teaching them how to boogie, Harry Wayne “KC” Casey was, like the rest of America, being shaped by the music, conflicts, innocence, sex, social and political movements and counterculture of the 1960s. “The widespread social and political issues of the 1960s was, in part, the inspiration to do something that would make people forget about their problems and be happy,” said Casey. “People were looking for something that would divert their attention from the negative aspects of everyday life surrounding them.” KC and The Sunshine Band pays tribute to the era on March 10, 2015, with Feeling You! The 60's. The album, part one of the two-part Feeling You project, features covers of songs by sixties legends Bob Dylan, Ben E. King, The Kinks, The Righteous Brothers, Jackie DeShannon, Aaron Neville and many more (full track listing below). “I’m excited for my fans to hear this album,” said Casey. “I really went outside of the box vocally and creatively. Feeling You! The 60's is autobiographical, showing how I feel about love, life and the world through the music of that era.”  Feeling You!

The Late Show: Darlene Love's Last Stand

Darlene Love Is Amazing!

Tune in tonight everyone, it's my friend and awesome person, Darlene Love's last stand on The Late Show with David Letterman singing Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) -

I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing Ms. Love about her Concert Of Love for Chorus and Verse, jump to that here:

http://www.chorusandverse.com/content.php?id=20101110a

This was when she was nominated and eventually claimed her spot in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame.

She states: "When I am singing it I am telling everyone to go back home to their loved ones"

The song has now become a Christmas staple sung by the likes of Mariah Carey and Michael Buble'.

Love you Darlene! (no pun intended) I will be tuning in tonight!

'Tis The Season For Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah Rulz! 

I have always loved Queen Latifah! When I first saw her in Set It Off I was a fan!

She has always brought something unique and interesting to every film she has graced. Not to mention she is one bad ass singer!

The news that her talk show has been cancelled is sad indeed. This being stated Ms. Latifah proves why she has the title of Queen.

Although the cancelled talk show will still run through March, since it has been given the boot the crew is no longer necessary. The Queen is using her own money to pay the show's crew through the Holidays.

"Your Family, Partners, Staff and Crew showed up with you every step of the way. Be very proud of that! Not everyone can say the same," the message continued. "You can also say you have been a blessing to and been blessed by amazing guests and incredible audiences for this show. We truly changed people's lives for the better. So…stay positive, stay strong, and most important, stay open...There is so much more God has in store!"

The Queen concluded with: "This letter is for me, my staff, my crew, and everyone who was by my side for this incredible journey," she wrote. "The most important thing in life is that you wake up every single day and take chances. No matter what the outcome…believe in yourself and continue to fly."

What's up next? Queen Latifah is getting great buzz for her portrayal of legendary blues singer Bessie Smith in HBO's upcoming Bessie. I can't wait! 

Long live the Queen!

Dolly Parton Goes Platinum

Dolly Parton: My Hair Isn't The Only Platinum Thing 

DOLLY PARTON SCORES UK PLATINUM ALBUM

WITH BIGGEST SALES FROM AN INTERNATIONAL FEMALE IN 2014
 

OMG! To all you Dolly lovers out there this will come as no surprise. Actually this is quite the achievement in this time and place for any artist, the Dolly train is never going to run out of steam! As 2014 draws to a close, Dolly Parton is far from resting on her laurels, and shows no signs of slowing down. The songstress continues to make history, with a record-setting tour overseas, and also raises the bar from a sales standpoint with yet another platinum selling album in a career that has already seen worldwide sales of over one hundred million records, and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. "I was so happy when Blue Smoke went Silver, so excited when it went Gold and now I'm over the moon to hear that we have gone Platinum,” says Parton. “Thanks to the fans and to everybody who made this happen."  Once again, the Country Music Hall of Fame member proved her timeless quality as a recording artist once again with the Platinum-selling success of her CD Blue Smoke....The Best Of, a collection that includes her most recent studio album as well as a compilation that includes many of her most memorable hits, such as “Love Is Like A Butterfly,”  “Here You Come Again,” and her biggest hit as a solo artist, 1980’s “9 To 5.” But, Dolly’s success with the album was not entirely tied to those past glories. Blue Smoke....The Best Of earned a pair of Top-30 airplay hits for Parton in the UK with ‘Try” and “Home,” as well as her cover of Bon Jovi’s “Lay Your Hands On Me” and the title cut, which also made the Top-40 airplay. Parton’s success overseas continued with a recent nomination for International Artist of the Year at the BBC Music Awards 2014. The nomination capped off a year in which Parton – after five decades in the business – scored one of her biggest and most heralded performances ever. "Dolly Parton has been making great music for decades, and the Blue Smoke album sits right among her best recorded work. We at Masterworks are honored to be working with one of our industry's biggest icons, and happily congratulate Dolly, her label Dolly Records, as well as our partners at Sony Music UK, on this great achievement,” says Bogdan Roscic, President of Sony Music Masterworks The success of Blue Smoke...The Best Of gives Parton the distinction of having the biggest album from an International female so far this year.   # # # For more information on Dolly Parton please visit: www.dollypartonentertainment.com Facebook: Facebook.com/DollyParton Twitter: Twitter.com/DollyParton Tumblr: OfficialDollyParton.tumblr.com Google+: Plus.Google.com/+DollyParton

Ho, Ho, Ho Merry "Club Christmas"

Following the smash releases of Club Christmas, Club Christmas 2, Club Christmas 3 and Ultimate Club Christmas, D1 Music presents the final album in the collection, Club Christmas Greatest Hits. Club Christmas Greatest Hits features the most popular songs from all previous Club Christmas albums, including remixed takes on popular classics like “O Holy Night”, “The Little Drummer Boy” and even “Frosty the Snowman."

Club Christmas is the brainchild of Peter McLean, founder of the independent dance music label, D1 Music, and Keith Kemper. 

“The idea was to put a spin on classic Christmas tunes and remix them to reflect the music our fans appreciate,” states Peter McLean. 

So I decided to hit up D1 Music founder extraordinaire, Peter McLean as to what his personal favorite Holiday songs are, here is what he told Entertain Me:

Silent Night - a song that captures and inspires peace. 

Little Drummer Boy - one of the most rhythmic Christmas carols and as a dance music producer that is very appealing. 

O Holy Night - a powerful Christmas anthem that really raises the ceiling and you can't help but try for that high note at the end...but only singers like Celine Dion can hit it!!! LOL 

Frosty The Snowman - this always puts a smile on my face. Who doesn't like a little fun at Christmas? 

What Child Is This - musically this song is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs and it has become popular again in recent years.

Club Christmas Greatest Hits Tracklisting:

1. Feliz Navidad 3:39 
2. Frosty The Snowman 3:56 
3. Silent Night 2:34 
4. What Child Is This 6:02
