Hmm great and popular blues singer Marvin Sease died Feb 8th and i just found out today.
Didnt see anything on CNN, Urbaninsite or this web site.
Im not a big blues fan but I respect it BIGTIME.
Its one black music genre thats has its own fans, it takes care of them, and doesnt let white america control it like most music genre.
Ive worked in some southern markets where blues is a force on the radio and the blues draw people to thier concerts unlike alot of RnB acts who are over priced, and not worth a nickle.
Marvin Sease had a fawl mouth, did some nasty song, but had a great career and should be respected alot more then some of these no talent rap acts who alot are just pitiful.
That’s my bad. I knew about it but it was not confirmed and by the time it was I was inundated with other projects. I will post something about him.
