Love Your Life: Why It Won’t Be Televised
“If you’re gonna be speaking for a whole generation
And you know enough to handle their education
Be sure you know the real deal about past situations
And ain’t just repeating what you heard on a local TV station
Sometimes they tell lies and put them in a truthful disguise
But the truth us, that’s why we say it won’t be televised.” -Gil Scott Heron
Have a fly day!
Lots of Love,

Music History Fact Of The Week: Smiley Lewis vs. Elvis Presley
In 1956, New Orleans R&B pioneer Smiley Lewis began to have success with his original tune, “One Night.” Elvis Presley took Lewis’s song and re-recorded it in 1957. A month after this re-recording, Elvis once again recorded Smiley Lewis’s song. This time he changed a word or two of the song and released it to the public. The song garnered Presley a lot of sales.
