#VIDEO Whitney Houston & More - King Holiday

Growing up this would play on Video Music Box every MLK Day. Salute Uncle Ralph McDaniels and Thank You Dr Martin Luther King

Rare song from 1986, dedicated to Martin Luther King. Song by King Dream Chorus and Holiday Crew. Also starring El DeBarge, Fat Boys, Full Force, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, Stacy Lattisaw, Lisa Lisa, Teena Marie, Menudo, Stephanie Mills, New Edition, Run-D.M.C., James "J.T." Taylor and Whodini.

Once a year we celebrate

Washington and Lincoln on their birthdates

And now a third name is added to the list

A man of peace, "Drum Major for justice"

Now every January on the third Monday

We pay homage to the man who paved the way

For Freedom, Justice and Equality

To make the world a better place for you and me

It's a holiday! It's a gathering!

For the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King!

Chorus:

Dr. King tried to love somebody

Do you wanna love somebody?

For his sake put your hate away, take a day...

Take a day to love somebody

Don't play on the Holiday, work to find a better way

Everybody love somebody

Everybody sing for Martin Luther King

Let freedom ring for Martin Luther King!

Holiday! Holiday! King Holiday!

Not a day just for some

It's a day for everyone

He had a dream now it's up to you

To see it through, To make it come true!

Who do we thank for teaching us

That we all have the strength to love?

we thank the Prince of Non-Violence for

showing um the way

How do we show the children of today?

How do live together at one?

We'll sing of a King

And his words will light all of our tomorrows

Chorus

Listen children of today

Don't think love has gone away

It's in your hearts and minds

How long?

Not long?

New day will shine, if we just take the chance

His love will glow

Open up the windows!

Let the hero shine

Every day in your life

Yours and mine

Everybody shine

Let it shine, let it shine

For the future generation, Dr. King's medication

For successful operation, is peace for every nation!

Sing! Celebrate!

Sing! Sing! Celebrate!

For a King Celebrate!

Sing! Sing! Celebrate!

#ClassicAudio King Sun - Bang Bang

Remember Sun playing me this joint driving down Gun Hill Rd #BX #Salute

#Editorial I Remember Real Hip Hop

Never thought I would see the day when 95% of the "Rap" music made has NOTHING to do with Hip Hop. People say "you hating" if you don't like all the new "music" these new "artists" are putting out. FINE. Call me Hater #1 then.

I just remember the times when you could not even use a name similar to another artist or DJ. Now you have 10,000 " Young"s" 1,0000,000 "Lil's" and so on.

People don't remember the times when you couldn't even have a nickname similar to another artist.

You couldn't use the same sample as someone else did because you were:

"BITING"

The fans would call you out on that shit....Now... it;s follow the leader and whatever's "HOT".

So artists that send me your demo's and looking for advice...Here is the most important piece:

BE ORIGINAL

The 2nd piece is IF you are lucky enough to reap the FINANCIAL rewards Hip Hop has provided for you then you BETTER

SAVE!

all the money your are FORTUNATE enough to be making off the blood,sweat and tears THE FOUNDATION laid for you to do so. Make your money...but put it away for the day the industry turns the faucet off on you.because
IT WILL HAPPEN

Popping bottles is not an investment. One day you will wish you had all that money in the bank.
