One would have to have been living under a rock or been in hibernation to not have heard, or at least heard about, "Pants on the Ground," the song sung by 62-year-old "General" Larry Platt on "American Idol. C. Hammer notes that when he recorded his biggest hit, "U Can't Touch This," in 1990, he never imagined that the Grammy-winning song would have such lasting impact. But the Marvelettes can "touch that." Katherine Schaffner says she and the other members of the group were in high school (in Inkster) in 1961 when "Please Mr. Postman" soared to No. 1 on the national charts (R&B and Pop) and it is still popular and heard often today. It's a classic that everyone, regardless of age, is familiar with. MEMORIES: "Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)" (Quincy Jones featuring Tevin Camp...

-The Great Jazz Migration began when noted musician Joe "King" Oliver left New Orleans, La. and settled in Chicago, I'll. He was soon joined by other early jazz greats. Their presence in Chicago laid the foundation for the Southern Black music genre (with heavy sexual overtones) to become a national obsession. Actually, the "migration" may not have been quite so romantic. Instead of being forced by the closing of the New Orleans Storyville district, jazz greats probably left New Orleans for Chicago for the same reason other Blacks left the Souths-failing crops forced the disappearance of jobs while Northern factories recruited Blacks for work to produce arms and other goods for World War I. Nevertheless, many historians view Oliver's relocation to Chicago as the start of New Orleans...

It's hilarious. I spent most of its 82 minutes laughing at various volume levels. Granted, I was sometimes hiding my eyes while laughing and interspersing guffaws with groans, but I don't expect to see anything funnier this year.

To many younger people, the Apollo is no more than the setting for the syndicated television program "Showtime at the Apollo" that has been airing since 1987. There has been an array of hosts, including Sinbad, Christopher "Kid" Reid, Mark Curry, Steve Harvey and Mo'Nique. NOT THAT AN Apollo audience would not accept softer sounds. Dionne Warwick recalled being warned by Apollo management aboout singing "People," the ballad from "Funny Girl" made a classic by Barbra Streisand. In 1983, Ted Fox wrote an insightful and fascinating book titled "Showtime at the Apollo." The introduction states, "From its inception as a Black theater, the Apollo probably exerted a greater influence upon popular culture than any other entertainment venue in the world.
