we will be Nothing! (insert:) .... Nasssing Lebowski What i mean when discussing war is NOT: We need war to survive, to maintain cultural identiy. What i AM saying is: We need SOME SORT OF FIGHT, disagreement, even if its just an argument, in order to maintain our own, to be what we want to be, so we dont all have to be the same thing. People say there is no unrest in the United States, but that is false, because I am not at rest. And other people too. this is pretty concise a lot of things will ahve to be clarified probably the starving millions will never get fed because food cost money. and if food didnt cost money then nobody would spend their lives feeding someone who is starving instead of feeding themselves. and if that were happening then whoever starved would die and whoever lived would live. now this sounds mad "heartless" but its really not, because the "petty" heart, the heart that tries to save every human being alive TODAY, is really truly heartless to the RACE AS A WHOLE. because by saving the starving millions? if we actually did? then they would just make more starving people. population is linked to food production directly, even when you're smart and have a brain and control what you eat. we are not above the laws of life. even if we're really super duper smart and careful about it. i know im drivin a car but what can u do. i guess u could not drive. but i drove. so sue me. at this point the most important thing to do is talk about it. 1:45ish .... our country is SUPPOSED to work that way, but it doesnt even! There is too much disagreement. And you say that is the balance, that is the evening, but nobody digs it! Nobody is satisfied in compromise. Everyone is half satisfied. Why can't everyone get what they want? They totally can. (im not a juvenile delinquent - frankie lymon and the teenagers) http://break.com/index/double_standard.html

Three Degrees-Take Good Care Of Yourself (totp2)

Valerie Holiday, Fayette Pinkney & Sheila Ferguson. TOTP2 Biography Philly soul vocal group the Three Degrees started in 1963 in Philadelphia, PA. They were discovered by producer and songwriter Richard Barrett. Barrett was a key force for 1950s groups the Chantels, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, and his own group the Valentines. The original lineup was Fayette Pickney, Shirley Porter, and Linda Turner. Barrett recorded this lineup on their first single, "Gee Baby (I'm Sorry)." In 1963, Linda Turner and Shirley Porter left the group and were replaced by Helen Scott and Janet Jones. Around this time, Barrett began managing and producing Sheila Ferguson who was a high school friend of Scott. Barrett got deals for both the group and Ferguson with Swan Records. By 1966, Helen decided to leave the group and become a housewife. Sheila Ferguson took her place. She sang backup on all the Three Degrees' Swan recordings, as did the Three Degrees for her solo singles. In 1967, Valerie Holiday joined the group, while Janet Jones departed. Over the next four years, both the Three Degrees and Ferguson released many singles. In 1970, now signed to Roulette Records, the Three Degrees scored their first national chart hit with a remake of the Chantels' "Maybe" with Scott taking the lead vocals. It went to number four R&B in summer 1970. The follow-up, "I Do Take You," peaked at number seven R&B. Barrett got the group short-term deals with Warner Bros., Metromedia, and Gamble & Huff's Neptune Label. The group had a cameo in the classic 1971 movie The French Connection starring Gene Hackman and toured with Engelbert Humperdink. In 1973, Barrett worked a deal with Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International Records (PIR). The Three Degrees' first PIR single was "Dirty Ol' Man," a disco hit. A short time later, Don Cornelius, producer and host of TV's Soul Train, approached Gamble & Huff about coming up with a new theme song for his hit syndicated show. The Three Degrees were asked to do vocals at the end of the show's new theme track. After some airings, public demand forced the TV show's theme to be released as a single. "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" by MFSB featuring the Three Degrees went gold hitting number one R&B and holding the number one pop for two weeks during spring 1974. Meanwhile, a previously released Three Degrees single, "Year of Decision," stalled at number 74 R&B. Another MFSB/Three Degrees single, "Love Is the Message," peaked at number 42 R&B in the summer of that year. In the summer of 1974, PIR released another single on the group, "When Will I See You Again." The single went platinum, selling over two million copies, going to number four R&B and number two pop around September 1974. Their PIR debut album, The Three Degrees, was released at the end of 1974. The follow-up, "I Didn't Know," written and produced by Bunny Sigler, went to number 18 R&B in early 1975. The group performed the song on a guest appearance on the hit NBC show Sanford and Son. Their only other charting PIR single was "Take Good Care of Yourself" (number 64 R&B in summer 1975). Around 1976, Pickney left the group and was replaced by returning member Helen Scott. CBS released their album Standing up for Love in the U.S. in 1977. In 1978, the Three Degrees were signed to European label Ariola Records. The group recorded three LPs for the label. Longtime favorites in the U.K., the group performed at Buckingham Palace for Prince Charles' 30th birthday party and they were guests at his wedding to Princess Diana. During the first half of the '80s, the Three Degrees released U.K.-issued albums, Album of Love and Live in the UK and singles, "Liar" and "A Sonnet to Love." Stock/Aitken/Waterman produced a 1985 U.K. chart hit, "The Heaven I Need," on the group for Supreme Records. In 1986, Sheila Ferguson left the group. With Helen Scott, Valerie Holiday, and Victoria Wallace, the group recorded an album for Ichiban Records, ...And Holding! The act recorded another live CD with Billy Paul and Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes during a TSOP tour in the summer of 1989. Scott, Holiday, and new member Cynthia Garrison recorded three albums in the 1990s. Source: www.allmusic.com
