THE REALLY REEL TALK Darlene Lewis

When Andre Harrell, formerly of Dr. Jekyl and Mr Hyde, was first starting Uptown Records was first starting, he had a few folks to help make the legendary label a household name. The music exec that made things happen was the one and only Kurt Woodley. From the careers of Father MC, discovering Jeff Redd, Mary J. Blige and Jodeci, Uptown records became the New Jack Swing Label that had the country dancing and singing to hiphop tracks. Kurt went from road managing Heavy D and A B Sure to managing, along with Reggie Johnson and Charlie Davis creating JDW management.

We hear so much about the male pioneers and  icons of entertainment,  but we never hear about the females that are the backbone of the industry.  We never hear about the publicists, singers that do the background for a  lot of artists that can't sing or emcee.  We rarely hear about the dancers that make the artists look great. What would singers, rappers, do without musicians or songwriters?  Especially the love songs. Sometimes you see award shows, or videos, and the women are just placeholders. But today's artists are breaking down doors, and stand in front of a closed door.  We welcome a great pioneering dancer, Kim A Kazi Valente great breakdancer of the Dynamic Dolls...Invited legends will also be calling into the show so call in and learn the history of the premiere break dancer, as she drops jewels.
