    Robert Cornelius Looks at Dreamgirls

    Robert Cornelius Looks at Dreamgirls

    Dreamgirls, the Broadway musical based on the showbiz aspirations of legends like Little Richard, James Brown, Diana Ross and the Supremes, is about as perfect as a musical can be.

    It lands running with a wonderful percussive bongo beat and takes us on a roller coaster ride through the struggles Black entertainers faced in the past and how they changed the world for the better.

    The breakout song “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” became a #1 hit on the R&B Billboard charts when it was released in 1982 and launched Jennifer Holliday into superstardom.

    Our friend musician and actor Robert Cornelius is now playing the role of music producer Marty in the new production of Dreamgirls at the McCarter Theater in Princeton, NJ.

    As the nephew of Soul Train producer and host Don Cornelius, Robert was a regular dancer in his teens on the show and subsequently became an indie music fixture as a member of the alt-pop music group Poi Dog Pondering.

    Today musician Robert Cornelis joins us to look back on his amazing career, being part of Black music royalty and why Dreamgirls and Jennifer Holidays torch song “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” will never leave our hearts.

    Matt Brown on Beyonce's Texas Hold 'Em

    Matt Brown on Beyonce's Texas Hold 'Em

    Everything Beyoncé touches turns into solid gold soul, even country music.

    Her latest single, 'Texas Hold ‘Em,' is a number one hit on the Billboard country charts, making her the first black woman to ever achieve such a milestone in a genre of music that, despite its roots in black culture, has traditionally excluded artists of color.

    Even Dolly Parton is a big fan and congratulated her on social media. But whenever you break a boundary, there’s bound to be some backlash.

    Today comedian Matt Brown joins us to talk about the popularity of Beyonce’s Texas Hold ‘Em, and how popular culture is a powerful tool in breaking down barriers of inequality.

    Listen as we look back on the new documentary Thriller 40 that examines how Michael Jackson's album Thriller changed the face of music and helped hip-hop go mainstream, The Color Purple Musical Film gets a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for Danielle Brooks and Matt’s third part docu series on Whitney Houston’s musical style is now live his YouTube channel Black Music Archive.

infin8dvonE ,

I don’t see the subscribe option

Where is the podcast ad free subscription… Get with it. And it already so I can subscribe that is great show.

E-Lo! ,

Fausto..... + update

.....Update.... so now all they do is talk about muscles???......

At first I enjoyed this podcast but the more the I listened to it the more Fausto grates on my nerves. He's ill-informed, narrow minded, self aggrandized, is constantly accusing everyone with a cooking themed YouTube channel of ripping off (the horrendous) "Cooking with Drag Queens." Actually he likes to accuse anyone with a podcast of ripping them off. I have to listen sporadically. It's best when there's a guest to deflect their attention or else you're in for an hour long Fausto is so great and everyone copies him commercial. Not to mention that they tie everything back to drag queens....... My suggestion is to take everything this dude says with a grain of salt!
