Tyrone Davis - Just My Way Of Loving You

Tyrone Davis, one of the preeminent figures in Chicago rhythm and blues history, Tyrone Davis was born Tyrone Fettson in Greenville Mississippi on May 4 1938.When he was a year old, his parents divorced. His father moved to Saginaw, Michigan, taking baby Tyrone with him. As a teenager at Saginaw Central High, he did what a lot of young kids in the fifties did, he sang on street corners and entered school talent contests. He also married at a tender age and in 1959 he and his family moved to Chicago's West Side.
Davis finally broke into recording in 1965 through Harold Burrage, who had become Davis's friend and mentor. Davis had started performing in some Chicago clubs, Burrage was impressed after catching a Davis performance at a club on the West Side. Burrage came to Davis with a song he had written 'Suffer', a bluesy mid pacer, which he recorded, and was released on Willie Barney's Four Brothers label as Tyrone the Wonder Boy, which achieved a little local success. He went to work for Barney in various capacities. Davis had three releases for Four Brothers, the best and most successful was 'Please Consider Me' in January 1967, which was a substantial local hit. That same year he next appears with one release on Monk Higgins Sack label, the up tempo 'I'm Running A Losing Race'. In 1968 'What If A Man' was released on ABC Records. Until now Davis had made only a local impact on record, but was making a reasonable living from the Chicago club scene.
This is a sweet track and repping CHITOWN to the fullest R.I.P Davis and thanks for the great music

PEEP THIS: Fotoflow (super homie) Photo Show...

Oscar Arriola is a street photographer whose subjects have stories to tell. From the
man with the words “Kill Me Please” emblazoned on his stomach, to the melancholy
landscape of an abandoned candy factory, Arriola's images are engaging narratives of
the city. Like his influences, Harry Callahan and Swiss photographer Robert Frank,
Arriola’s subject matter is of most importance. His images record the underbelly of
urban life today, with subjects ranging from unusual people, places, and situations,
to street art--all taken through a lens of subtle irony.
A prolific photographer, Arriola shoots nearly 10,000 photos a year. “Fotoflow,” his
first solo show, makes reference to his nickname as well as the constant flow of
pictures taken daily from an artist who never leaves home without his Canon.

Rest In Peace Rudy Ray Moore...
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Comedian Rudy Ray Moore has died at the age of 81 in Akron, Ohio, of apparent complications due to diabetes, his record label said.
The veteran funnyman is survived by his daughter, Yvette; sister, Geraldine; brother, Gerald, and his 98-year-old mother, Lucille.
"Rudy was an entertainer's entertainer and a self-made man that fans of all generations embraced," Donald H. Randell, Moore's producer, said in a statement. "In the 1960s and '70s, he broke new ground and paved the way for comedians that followed like Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Lisa Lampanelli. Rudy's cult comedy continues to break through into today's mainstream."
Excerpts of Moore's comic recordings have been sampled by the likes of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eazy-E, Eric B. and Rakim, Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane, 2 Live Crew, ODB, Busta Rhymes, and dozens of other platinum-selling rap artists, Warrior Records said in a news release.
"The man, the myth, the legend, Rudy Ray Moore … without him there would be no rap community," Snoop Dogg said in a recent interview with Moore.
Moore also produced and starred in seven films during Hollywood's "Blaxploitation" era of the 1970s, including "Human Tornado," "Monkey Hustle," "Petey Wheatstraw," "Disco Godfather," "Penitentiary," "Rude," and most notably, "Dolemite."
"We are saddened by the loss of one of shock comedy's true originators," Warrior Records President Jim Ervin said in a statement.
