DETROIT (AP) - Ali-Ollie Woodson, who led the legendary Motown quintet The Temptations in the 1980s and '90s and helped restore them to their hit-making glory with songs including "Treat Her Like A Lady," has died, a friend said. He was 58. Woodson died Sunday in southern California after battling cancer, Motown Alumni Association President Billy Wilson said. Wilson said Woodson's wife, Juanita, told him about the death Sunday. Woodson was not an original member of the group, which had several lineup changes since it started in the 1960s. But he played an integral part in keeping the Temptations from becoming just nostalgia act. |

| Eugene Record of The Chi-Lites died on 22th of July. Eugene, a member of the Chi-Lites, was responisble for a lot of Chi-Lites hits like 'Oh Girl', 'Have You Seen Her'. Eugene Record also recorded two solo albums in the late seventies. The number 'Fan the Fire' is one of my favorites. After his solo career he returned to the Chi-Lites for recording more albums. Eugene died from cancer. He was 64. |

I just came back from my yearly holiday and read very sad news that my all time hero George Duke has passed away at age 67. Duke reportedly had been battling Lukemia. This is a great loss for all the fans out there. May George Duke rest in peace."In a time when music education is suffering from budget cuts , one professional musician and a team of top LA sidemen are getting an early start on the next generation."
"Grade school music class was never this funky -- a package aimed at teaching kids about music, but which comes across with this wicked vintage funk energy -- a tight early 70s approach to the grooves -- almost like the JBs were guesting on Sesame Street." --Premier Soul and Jazz Record Shop Dusty Groove America
I am a professional LA-based musician and father of a three-year-old who just couldn't seem to find cool age-appropriate music for my son that I wanted to hear -- Especially over and over! So I rolled up my sleeves, went into the recording studio with a few of LA's top musicians, and created Groove Kid Nation -- an entirely new approach to introducing children to music.
"Thanks for saving me from Elmo and Barney! Kids are small, not stupid!" -- Happy Parent
The goal of Groove Kid Nation is to introduce toddlers (ages 1 and up) to the real sound of musical instruments via the grooviest children's songs you've ever heard! The tracks on my first 2 releases are rooted in classic soul - jazz, and the CDs feature some of the top sidemen in the music business with touring and recording credits including Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Beck, Seal, Joss Stone, Sting, and Herbie Hancock.
"Imagine a James Brown or Lauryn Hill record for kids, and you'll have some idea of what Groove Kid Nation is all about." -- 2011 Parent's Choice Awards
In addition, 10% of the wholesale price of each CD is donated to CARE.org to help fight poverty.
