sip off big loafs on me give it up.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Theteazy not saying y P dre schemes, Yes, yes, yes,
okay with our brother and d a dude, let's get
to those tick talk videos. You know they wash they did.
They try to like hip TikTok down for like a
quick second. I think it was a scam. What you think?
What you think, Tony? Huh?

Speaker 4 (04:17):
It was it.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Was just a huh and it was like for what
thirteen hours? I just I did. I never believed it
from when they started talking about it. Huh, you didn't
come on. You know, that's what make twenty twenty Vision
twenty twenty Vision at the top. Okay, let's show where
we get what we got first? Oh, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold up, hold on, hold on,

(04:40):
hold on. Hon Okay, I have a little fetish. No
I I this wouldn't be called a fetish. This wouldn't
be called don't say that. Don't don't say that. Let's
tell this word out. I have a little thing for
children cussing. I don't I don't know what it is,
but when a kid cuss to me, I don't know
what that is. So anyway, I find these videos hilarious.
So this is my little old madge. So the kids
turn it up.

Speaker 8 (04:59):
Let's see we nobody.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Ain't say nothing.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
See that's the leada that remind me and you It
just does because you know how much you loved your dad.
You know how your mom's like your mom. You know
she just had to like figure it out after a while.
But your dad could do no wrong. And I know
you couldn't say that to your mom, especially back in
the day, But what was you thinking about it?

Speaker 9 (05:33):
I would be part of the walls if I like
that even at that age, I'm asking if I can
come off the wall.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I think because it was so taboo for us to
ever turn up on our parents. I think that's what
makes it so funny. And then it's so funny to
me to watch everybody get so upset, you know, that
gets so excited, so upset. So ladies, have you, guys,
ever had a moment where your parents say something to

(06:02):
you when you're little and you cuss in your head?

Speaker 10 (06:04):
Like?

Speaker 8 (06:05):
Has I cussed my mom out every day in your head?
Even though she's not with me anymore, I cuss her
out today?

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh my god, it's in a good way, you say,
I always do. This is like normal, This is par
for the course for me.

Speaker 8 (06:23):
A little and now older.

Speaker 11 (06:27):
I have never cussed my mom out in head because
I all I can do is remember her clinching her.
You know, when she would get mad, she would just
scare the living daylights out of you.

Speaker 12 (06:39):
So you know I would cuss out the situation.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Right, But not not your mom? How about you? Julie
was a good girl the whole time.

Speaker 10 (06:51):
Yeah, I've always been a really good girl, not any trouble.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
But what about your hair? What was What would you
say to your head?

Speaker 10 (07:01):
My head is always perfect and I'm always perfect, a
perfect girl. Oh my god, I have to say perfect.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
No, you're playing Tina Turner. I don't know if you know.
In order to pull that off, you got to have
a little spice to your Oh my god, how about
you that? But did you ever want to say something
to your mom or did I want to?

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Oh?

these women and it's such an honor to have them here.
They all came from San Diego. They drove up from
San Diego, so La. You should be definitely blessed for that.

(11:12):
They you know, give a handclap for that. They battle
the traffic, these women. I always tell you, guys, you
guys know the residents. Eva Stalita, I always tell you
about how she holds it down. But these ladies saying
they hold it down in San Diego, and you know,
and and worldwide. Not we're not just limited to San Diego.
But they have been out here doing their thing, paving

(11:36):
the way for other artists to come along. They've lit
up the stage and they absolutely love what they do,
and they're phenomenal at what they do. This is I
don't know, it's just near and dear to my heart
because Selina has produced a show that allows us to
just live and celebrate our icons. And I know that

(11:58):
we all have special stories as to why we love
these women that we're paying homage to. So it is
my honor because I want to pay homage to you ladies.

Without further ado, give a warm welcome to the women
of Soul. Yes, yes, yes and yeses alrighty you know what?

(12:43):
You know what, Stalita, resident Diva. I want to start.
I do want to start with you, and I wanted
we're going to talk about why you decided to put
this production on, but I want to talk about you
and your career. And you know I'm going to be
asking you questions I already know the answers to. But

(13:05):
where are you from originally? And what was your first
inspiration of music?

Speaker 9 (13:12):
I'm from Peoria, Illinois. Well, I was born in Buffalo,
New York, but I'm I was raised mostly in Peoria, Illinois.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
And what was the second.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Okay I got here that part. Here's a better one.
Who's the first one that said, girl, you know you
can sign?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Actually it was one of the mothers at my church.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
That's where it's supposed to be at church.

Speaker 9 (13:38):
I didn't think I could, you know, and she said,
she said, just what you said, you could sing. And
I'm like, I was so shy. I don't even know
where she got that from. I don't even know how
why she said it, how she picked me out of
the bunch, but she did. Uh it was it was
nice to hear that because you as a child, you

(13:59):
it helps you, it boosts you. So I think I
got a little bit louder and a little bit more bolder,
you know, after hearing that.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
And then my mother has always been my number one fan.

Speaker 9 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, even though she put me in the front
row singing soprano when I'm an alto?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
What did your mother? Does your mother sing? That's what
I've been meaning to ask you. That's a question I
really don't know.

Speaker 9 (14:19):
For years she was in a capella group and their
harmonies was amazing. And that's where I get it from,
because that's all I heard was harmonies and my ear.
I developed the ear for that, you know, right, and
they were stopping it ain't right, So you develop it like, oh,
it ain't right. So I'm very happy about it. So

(14:41):
your mother trained you without knowing. Okay, yeah, and so
you know what I love about your waist is very dynamic, right,
so you can get the smooth, the jazz stalita, and
then you can get the R and B like when
you hit that what was that that you hit that?

Speaker 2 (14:57):
One time?

Speaker 9 (14:58):
Job?

Speaker 17 (14:58):
Makeup?

Speaker 18 (14:59):
Fuck?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's what I said. Wait, because I always hear you
singing so pretty and so jess. Like when you hit
that jum makeup fun, I fell I felt.

Speaker 13 (15:10):
Wait, wait you.

Speaker 9 (15:15):
Get into you, but my girl on the end there,
I can't do it like her.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
We don't get to come on, you know, but I
felt it.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
I felt like I was her. I'm gonna be treated today?
Are tonight?

Speaker 9 (15:33):
Yeah? I love that song. That's such That song is
such a groove that you just you just gotta get
in it. If you don't get in that song when
you're singing, is something wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (15:45):
What about your stage presence? You know what I like
to see. I like to see you handle the band.
I love to see you handle the crowd, you know
what I mean. And you don't handle them. You make
them feel like they're a part of it, you know.
And I see why you're fan basically like Ghostealda, Yeah, Sala,
because you bring them in. In regards to stage presence,
is that a learned traders? That's just something that was

(16:06):
in you already.

Speaker 9 (16:08):
Well, okay, let's just talk about Diana Ross because I
got her friend. I loved her stage presence no matter
where she was. If you look at some of the
old videos when black people couldn't go into white establishments.
She did, and they accepted her because she had a
presence about her that was accepting. I mean, Queen Elizabeth

(16:30):
nodded her head to.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Her like okay, girl, all right?

Speaker 8 (16:33):
Then?

Speaker 9 (16:34):
Yeah, you know it was because she had she smiled,
and she had this calmness about her that just calmed
the whole room.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
And Barry saw that and that's why he pushed her.

Speaker 9 (16:45):
So I've followed her for years on her journey. Not
all good, but there was still a journey there. I
just her her persistence and her dedication, and he just
keep going, keep going, keep at it, keep at it.
So that's where mostly I got that from. It just happened, okay,

(17:10):
because I was a very shy person, a very shy person.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
So okay, I got one more question. So in regards
to you breaking into the industry as it regards San
Diego and the surrounding areas, can you talk to me
about that journey a little bit and did you find
it difficult or was it smooth?

Speaker 9 (17:30):
Selling It was difficult because when I first started, I
felt like, if you didn't have this big voice, the
musicians didn't take you seriously. They didn't respect give you
the respect if you were timid, you know, or if
you subbing for somebody, Oh that's not how so and

(17:51):
so do it. And then you have to constantly fight
the right. Okay, my name is still leaded. Let me
look at my ID, see if that's my name, because
my name is Stilita, and this is how I do it,
you know. And I had to really fight for the
right for the respect of musicians.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
It took a few years, a lot of years.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
To do that.

Speaker 9 (18:12):
And finally, you know, I get that from them. But
it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
But when she broke in, you broke that thing. She
ain't never let it go, y'all. She did. Can I
get a witness, y'all? Did Stilita ever? Like once she
got it, she was wrestle this coirl. I'm gonna get
this bull, and I'm gonna ride this thing all the way,
like thank you, thank you, say sailing, thank you, all right,
Julie mm hm, past the mic like we used to

(18:42):
do past the mike. Hello, miss Julie Harris, Hey girl,
you know, definitely, definitely it's been a pleasure meeting you.
I met you at your gig and Sala was like, oh, no,
you're gonna love Julie, you know. And so when I
walked in, you know, we had something to common right away.

(19:05):
So he was like, oh you my girl, Hey, let's
get it. But when I heard you sing, oh my god,
oh my god, you're such a little petite thing. You
don't know it's coming. And then as soon as it comes,
it's oh, it's it's it's dynamic. It's dynamic. Where those
where those Where does those roots come from? They sound
southern to me? Where do they come from?

Speaker 10 (19:26):
I was born in La oh yeah, and I was
raised in Mission Viejo.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I don't like.

Speaker 19 (19:32):

Speaker 10 (19:32):

about it. I knew I heard Louisiana something.

feel like I feel like it's in me.

Speaker 2 (20:00):

Speaker 8 (20:09):
I love that.

Speaker 10 (20:10):

Speaker 2 (20:13):

Like I could just see that all day you guys
were just singing and playing. Is that? Is there any
truth to that?

Speaker 10 (20:25):
Or absolutely? I mean, my whole family plays music together.

play music together. So we've been doing that forever. So
that's what I have in me.

How was that? How did you kind of the cold

for yourself in the southern Because we know between La
and San Diego it could be two different animals, but
they both have their own challenges. So how did you
have to say?

raised in Mission Viho, and I just whatever came natural,

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Called young Heart, Yes, yes.

Speaker 11 (25:23):
And then my third song I'm dropping on Valentine's Day
and it's called Thief in the Night.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yes, still in my heart, honey, just come on and
steal my heart. So so you've been sounds like you've
been performing on stage pretty much all your career. When
you do have to go in the studio, I know,
for me, like the being in the box sometimes it's
like ah, you know, but when you go into studio,
how is that transition for you from stage to you know,
almost a little more robotic and everything has to be

(25:50):
precise right.

Speaker 11 (25:51):
Finding that voice it helped for me. I did have
a chance to take some vocal lessons, yeah, from Doc
Holliday Okay in Vegas, yes, I mean not Vegas at
LA and he helped me, you know, calm that loud
beast in me because you do want it to do,
even Christen Serene. So uh, finding my studio voice, yes,

(26:15):
but still trying to bring the soul and the.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Spirit in there, you know.

Speaker 12 (26:20):
So it's a work in progress. You know, I haven't
given up.

Speaker 11 (26:24):
I've only done three songs so I'm just trying to
find my way and not depend on other people. That's
my problem, right, That's why I haven't gotten further cause
I'm expecting other people to pull me through when I
need to carry.

Speaker 16 (26:37):
My own weights, okay and find my own way.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Okay, you know.

Speaker 12 (26:41):
So it's it's a work in progress for me.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
We could do a whole nother show on that which
you just said. I really want to dig into that,
but I gotta get to the other ladies. But I
really wanted to remind me that to have you back,
so we can just talk about that, that statement that
you just said. But we do have your song. We

such a beautiful driven one. Thank you, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
So let me celebrate y'all, ladies, let me celebrate y'all.
That's what I do, miss, celebrate me. But beautiful, beautiful song,
beautiful composition. You know that's that's the classic R and
B song right there. It had all the elements we
love backgrounds on an R and B song, and the
saxophone break was to die for, like everything beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

(32:44):
beautifully executed. Thank you for sharing with us. Okay, let's
move on down this train. We have Miss Devora. Yes, okay,
so not only you are are you a singer, but
you're a composer as well. You play three instruments at

(33:04):
least oh my god, Okay, name those instruments.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
Okay, I'll tell you the easy ones, Okay that I
publicly will play.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
So I mostly schooled on saxophone. Wow, that was my
main instrument. I played alto soprano. Worry, I was in
seventh grade. I was the only kid that could actually
make a sound out of berry. So that was part
of my upbringing. I played flute. I'm starting to give
clarinet lessons. I'm I've played a little bass publicly.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
So yeah, so she could have did our sax solo.

Speaker 7 (33:37):
That was.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Gorgeous out there and did it. You ain't in your purse,
are you? You ain't in your purse on air that
I can't find it. You gont have to okay? Uh singer, composer,
obviously performer, so you court as well, yes, ma'am. Okay, okay, okay,

(34:02):
we have to get your so if you could, maybe
she can send her the single later on and then
and then we'll play it before the end of the show.
You gotta you have something on right now, but anything
that you want us to hear it?

Speaker 6 (34:16):
No, well, just gonna talk.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Today, okay, okay, all right, my bad, I get overzealous. Okay,
it's all good, thank you, No problem time. Yes, Yeah,
like I said, we gotta. This is not gonna be ladies.
Let me tell you, this just is not gonna be
enough time. I can do everybody one at a time
here and fill up this whole hour. So I'm just
trying to kind of get the people a little acclimated
to you guys before we actually start talking about the show.

(34:38):
But I definitely want to bring you guys back individually,
you know, not that y'all can so you mean, y'all
can tag along, but I want to interview, you know,
an individual interview from all of you all, because I
know you guys are a whole wealth of information and
a whole host of talent. So I'm just kind of
trying to go fast. But okay, so you perform, you compose,
you right of course, as well as you play several

(34:59):
inch struments. Okay, Now that's a juggle, is it? Do
you find it? Because it's all in the genre, it's
all conclusive for you or like in your mind you
have to say, Okay, today I'm the singer, today I'm
the composer, today I'm the musician. How is that? How's
that process for you know what?

Speaker 6 (35:17):
It kind of depends. I have this last couple of weeks,
I have been writing every day. I've got new stuff
every day, so I got new songs, right, So when
I have learned, when music comes, I grab it. So
I've been in rehearsals where I'm rehearsing a song and
a song comes and I dropped down and I'm writing
it all out. So you grab, I grab the inspiration
when it comes, and then you go back and work

(35:38):
on it. So yeah, sometimes for composing. It's dedicated time.
You know. If I go in studio, obviously you've got
a prep for that. And then the shows, I say
that I perform as.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Me and then her. Okay, yeah, so I keep it.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
I have fun with it, and I do keep it
separate in my head because she is her and I
am me.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
And you never get them mixed up. Never she shows up.
I know, I don't seen her show up in the rehearsal.
She just comes and takes over.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
She does. And you know, last about a year ago,
I was doing a Christmas party as me, background music,
Christmas songs, and I get all done. It's a couple
hundred people and there's an intimate little thing and I
get done, and there was some some girls that pulled
me aside. They're like, you know, you'd be really good
at share. I'm like, dang, she showed up here too, Christmas.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
It's all good. So okay. And then for when you
when you perform as yourself, are you performing originals and covers?

Speaker 6 (36:31):
So right now? So in the past I have absolutely
I've done originals. I've done acoustic originals. So my background
is I trained classically. Yeah, I grew up was from Wisconsin.
I grew up in to Milwaukee, Chicago, so my upbringing,
we didn't have stringed instruments, so I leaned into the
music of saxophone. But I also really just wanted to

(36:53):
be a dancer.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
That was it.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
I wanted to be a dancer like what we see
on Dancing Yesters today, but that wasn't allowed. So I've
been channeling my music inside my head for a long time.
So my background of music is pretty eclectic, Okay, okay,
and it works for me when i'm share because her
background is extensive.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yes, yeah, yeah. And you're also an award winner. I've
won a few awards, but let's talk about it, which
one all of us musically?

Speaker 1 (37:22):
You know.

Speaker 6 (37:24):
The music things. There are things from my past that
wouldn't really resonate I will. I've done a few things.
Try you're in la well okay, so okay, So this
is something from a long time ago. I'm super proud
of this because when you think about it, back in
the day, this was for saxophone stuff.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
I was.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
There's something called the John Phillips Susan National Honors Award,
and if you've ever heard about it, but it only
happens once every three years and only one hundred people
are chosen from the United States and I was one.
So they flew me out to DC and that was
amazing to be immersed and we performed with the President's
own band, the Marine Corps Honors. You know that this
was young, This was back in the young day, and

(38:03):
you know, to be put in an environment where practice
was thirteen hours a day like you're because we had
one week to pull the shows together. So a few
different things.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah, yeah, wonderful, wonderful and so okay, So now you're
doing Share. We're going to get into the Share. We're
going to get into everyone that we're paying homage to.
But I just wanted to give them a little bit,
you know, more about you. So if they wanted to
find some of your own old compositions, just go to
You can.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
Find me on on social media. I'm on Facebook. My
name is spelled a little different with two b's.

sugar sweet.

Speaker 2 (38:42):

Speaker 6 (38:55):
So anyways, yeah, you can go on my I have
a website where there's music. I have music everywhere. More
music's coming. But yes, I'm doing a lot. I'm thrilled.
I'm playing in a yacht rock band right now. Run
the horn player. Yeah, and I'll be stepping into some
lead vocals soon just to have some fun.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
So yeah, yeah, I had one more question. Okay, so
you play when you're when you're doing your shows, are
you playing all the way through the southern California area,
like San Diego, all the way to Mecula, all of
the circuit for Share the Share shows period.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
Well, I'm not booking anything for the yacht rock band.
They just they hired me to be a sub and
then brought me in as a permanent player. So I
know that we've got shows coming out through the summer
in San Diego. I think they're going to come up
this way as well.

Speaker 2 (39:40):

Speaker 6 (39:41):
My Share project, I will travel and the band. I'm
blessed with my band members. They've their world performers, they
traveled all over, so we will go where we are invited.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Okay, all right, was there was one more question? One
more question keeps escaping me. One more question. You said,
you travel through, you go wherever. There was one more
question lingering in my head. Do you write for other artists?
There it is you know what?

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Actually technically, yes, I have.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Okay, yeah, I have, and you will. This is something

Speaker 6 (40:14):
I've been brought in you know many Actually, yes I have.
Where I'm in recording and what was what I was
given to record? You know, other people's music was given
and the producer will say I don't like that, rewrite something.
You got two minutes to get it done.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Okay, So I've written that.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Man, you have such a rich music history, of such
a rich music background. Every time we meet for some reason,
whether we're at a party or an event, I can
sit and listen to you all day. Tell me all
the stories, all the things that we wouldn't know. And again,
I'm gonna have you back so we can get into
some of those stories. Because we were talking about Tita
Turner one day and you had all my whole host

(43:38):
of information.

Speaker 8 (43:40):
My aunt was one of the original Her name is
Jesse Smith, and she was the one that was like
all that yeah, yeah, say in the backgrounds for Isaac
Hay's and all those different like the seventies movies.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Well, it sounds like you came out and you had
no choice but to say because you're whole family.

Speaker 8 (44:00):
Was I come from a musical family. My father David Pryor,
he's a producer, a proprietor of Bump and bus Stop,
which was sampled by more than four hundred what is
it hip hop artist. My mom ethel Stewart. She was
a gospel singer with a group called the Spiritual Ls.

(44:22):
And that's how that's how her and my father met
back in the day, way back in the day. We
won't say way, We won't say how long long enough
you know it's fine as way.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Over here though you know we do this day. But okay,
so you came, you came out singing. We already know
that this is you had to. When the doctor slapped
you on the bottom, you screaming, My mom told me,
shut up. How what's the note you hear when you
think when the doctor slapped you went with that. Let
me hear it, let me hear it. Come on, just

(44:54):
that I'm here. That was, I'm here. That was I'm
ready for me, You're not ready or not? I have
a rived, That's what that was.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Yeah. I got in trouble for this notes though, but
you know what, those notes made me a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
They showed half and then they still doing that. And
so who was the with all of the talent around you,
who was the first one that set you down and said, girl,
you can sing?

Speaker 1 (45:18):
You know what?

Speaker 8 (45:19):
I discovered that myself when I went to see yeah,
because I have a heavy church background, and my family
was in the church. So everyone and my family sang.
All my moms, sisters and brothers, all they say, my
father's you know, from both sides, So just getting it
from the church. When I was about three years old,

(45:40):
I used to hear the singers in the choir and
I would try to, what is it, mimic what they
were doing. As a little girl, I would hear on
the radio. I would hear just certain songs like I
know the Lord he heard my cry, and then I
would just do that in my mom and all of
them they would be listening to me and I'd be
on the poor were just singing just as a So

(46:03):
I kind of discovered it myself.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Yes, because no one ever really told me you could sing, No,
you can keep going out and say no.

Speaker 8 (46:10):
No one ever said that. So they just knew because
all of the other ones and my family could sing
right right. So it wasn't it was special, but it
wasn't special. It was something that was normal normal. The
whole family was just we just naturally did it.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Yeah, it was a given all they every day just music.

Speaker 8 (46:32):
Music in the house. We would listen to a lot
of gospel, a lot of blues. I come from Alton, Illinois.
It's the same hometown as uh Miles Davis. Miles one
of Miles Davis uncle mac I Davis. He birthed me
into the world. He was a doctor and they were

(46:52):
in His family was in the medical field and our
families were all like tapped into the music industry way
back in the fifties and the Okay, it was evident
that I was gonna do what I think what I'm
doing now.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Yeah, you had no choice. It was like your destiny
was pre before you even came predestined.

Speaker 8 (47:10):
Your grandmother, my grandfather. They were musicians and performers in
their church. They were songwriters. I come from. All of
us are producers. My brother Lorenzo Prior, I just lost
him last year. He was a huge producer. He founded Janey,
aicho brand.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Like her Brandy Come Home.

Speaker 8 (47:33):
Yesh got a host of people that he produced, the
de Barges, including myself. We've written a lot of songs.
He actually helped produce I gotta do singles up here.
He helped read produce a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Me and him.

Speaker 8 (47:49):
We've my brother Lorenzo Prior. We've written a lot of
songs for different people like Whitney, Patti LaBelle, with different productions.
We were songwriters for Warner Chapel for many years.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Wow, And we've.

Speaker 8 (48:08):
Gotten singles released. My father was really, really prominent. But
I can't say that for legal.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Purposes, Okay, But I know you have been going through
a lot of things with the industry.

Speaker 8 (48:19):
Yeah, yeah, so, but it's been a good journey.

Speaker 6 (48:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
And I was gonna say that you're a true pioneer
of this because you hear we hear so many horror
stories about our intellectual property and our and our likeness,
you know, and our publishing. And since I've known you,
you've been fighting the good fight. Yeah yeah, I always
tell people that, you know, we all yelled in this
day and time independent or we're independent artists. I was like,

(48:42):
it's not anything so glorious. Just means that we pay
for everything, but therefore we own everything. But when you're
such an icon, it's very dangerous for us to own
our own music, our own intellectual property. So I, you know,
I pay how much to you that you've been sitting
here fighting the good fighting. They haven't scared you off
yet with your tough little self, with your tough little self,

(49:05):
just go down like that for a little bit, bounce
right back, you know, and hear all the horror stories.

Speaker 8 (49:10):
He was like, well, whatever, I'm covered, David and Goliath.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Yeah, that's right, I did, I had, you know.

Speaker 8 (49:18):
But the industry, on the other hand, has been really
good to me and other you know aspects.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
So so one more question. Talk to me about the
first time you hit the stage. It could even be
when you were a child, but the first time, the.

Speaker 8 (49:34):
First time, the first time I ever sang professionally. I
sang for a company called Owens Illinois. They they made
glass Glass It's Owens and I.

Speaker 12 (49:48):
Did a.

Speaker 8 (49:51):
Song called Love Don't Love Nobody by the Spinners. Yeah,
it was probably maybe nine and that was it was
my first paid gig.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
You were nine years singing Love Don't Love Nobody seats And.

Speaker 8 (50:06):
I remember I practiced that because we had to catch
the bus when we were at school and had the
lyrics written down, and I said, okay, the kids on
the bus, I said, you guys need to be my
backup singers, and they did.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
They have.

Speaker 8 (50:23):
Sometimes a girl will come and go. You reach for love,
but life won't let you know.

Speaker 7 (50:32):
That. In the.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
You still be loving her.

Speaker 8 (50:38):
But when she's gone, baby, I should have known. It
takes a fool.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
So the kids in the you ain't give us time
to be your background, gonna cheat us. We need to
be the background. Hit that part again so we can
come in for you.

Speaker 8 (50:55):
It takes a fool. Still that love don't love Nobody
in text.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
Food that love don't love no love anyway?

Speaker 12 (51:19):
I love.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
That was good for freestyle about is my mom? She
made my outfit? Uh huh.

Speaker 8 (51:31):
That I sang it and I had my hair, I
had it in like the Mary Tyler War style. Okay,
I was telling you I love Mary Tyler and then yeah,
she got me ready and I made I was ten.
I made two hundred dollars. Two hundred dollars for a
ten year old. A lot of money, A lot of money.

Speaker 18 (51:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
But anyway, okay, I think So did he come in?

Speaker 26 (51:59):

Speaker 2 (52:01):

host was just at the door, and I was trying
not to do this on air. Hold on, ok he

Can you repeat the listen please, ma'am?

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):

Speaker 6 (01:01:04):
What is one song that Cher said was an absolutely
horrible song and she did not want to do.

Speaker 8 (01:01:12):
It, wasn't I Got you babe?

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Ye half breed? Okay, So what's the answer if I

I would have never gotten that.

Speaker 5 (01:01:36):
Wait, wait now, what why did she?

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
What was going on with that?

Speaker 28 (01:01:42):
What?

Speaker 6 (01:01:42):
Diane Warren wrote that song Frogain when Diane evidently Diane
is not the best singer. Diane wrote the song for Cher,
brought it in, was playing it for her, singing it
to her, and Chare just said, that is the worst
song I've ever heard. That I had to beg her
to do it. Cher was She turned it down again
into and again, and so eventually Diane convinced her and

(01:02:03):
Share reluctantly said okay and then it became the song
that we all know.

Speaker 27 (01:02:07):
It to be.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Wow, Wow, Wow, who knew? There's always Like Michael Jackson
what he cried when he first heard the whole album Thriller.
Once it got mixed and mastered, he cried. He was pissed,
and it's like one of his obviously the biggest selling
album that he's ever done. But yeah, like he said,

(01:02:28):
he straight up cried. So it's weird how, you know,
how we interpret things as artists, but the rest of
the world like, we love that. You know. It's kind
of like their struggle when you're in the studio and
you know you're finding your sound, you're finding your voice,
and then all the different producers they had this idea
of what your voice, what they want to hear your
voice doing. And sometimes you're like, I don't know, you
know what I mean. But then some of those bomb

(01:02:49):
ass producers, Man, they know exactly what they're talking about,
you know, they know how to place you on that
platform to let the rest of the people be able
to digest it, you know what I mean. So yeah, yeah,
that's dope. Okay, we need a tiebreaker, Tony. So this
question can be asked to both sides, and whoever gets
it can uh win. Let me see who's let me

Yes, yes, okay. With these last few minute, ladies, this
is kind of like our speed round we got to
go through here in these last few minutes, I really
want to get into the show, the NAIM Show. Oh
my god, I'm so excited about it. We all are,
yes still, Leida. First of all, talk to me about
why you decided to produce a show such as this
for now.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
Well, I.

Speaker 9 (01:08:45):
Thank you Nam for letting me do the last two
years of shows. So the first show was the Corvells,
which is which is my Motown everything, a mixture of
motown group. And then I have the Supreme Legacy, which
is these two beautiful girls next to me right here,

(01:09:09):
Letitia and Julie. We have a Supremes tribute called Supreme Legacy,
and we did that last year all Supremes. This year
they were like, what are we doing next? Year, what
are we doing? I was like, oh man, oh no.
And then so we were just going to do a
tribute to three of us, and I said, you know what,
I'm bringing some more girls in this because this is

(01:09:32):
my this is actually my first tribute show with more
than three girls. So I'm very excited about this. But
I got inspired every time I saw them perform or something.

Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
I'm like, that's it. I need her in it. I
need her in it and her in it. So that's it.
That's what happened. That's what happened, what brought this show together,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
And so also talk to me about your inspiration Diana Ross,
when she became your inspiration and how she touches your
heart to make you want to sing her music and
celebrate her all the time.

Speaker 9 (01:10:11):
The music was always so positive, which back in the
day everything was positive.

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
We were just talking about that today.

Speaker 9 (01:10:17):
Like the women and the men, they stroked the other
partner like constantly, even if they're fighting, if they're going
through something, you wouldn't know that. It was always about
making their partner feel good or about the man or
the woman or whatever. And Diana Ross, all her songs,

(01:10:39):
even though they were about staying with her, man, but
it would be like, you don't love me no more,
but I'm gonna stay with you anyway. I'm like, Okay,
she's taking it to a whole nother level. But I
just love her presence, her elegance, that everything about how
she performs was just so embed it with me. But

(01:11:01):
I grew up with a lot of stuff jazz too,
so Nancy Wilson was another part. But it's beautiful between which, yeah,
Diana and Nancy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
I watched you do Diana Ross, and I've watched you
do it for a few years. I've watched the show
develop and grow and become this wonderful tribute. But I
like when I see you do Diana Ross, your whole
face just lights up, which might reminds me of Diana,
Like when she's singing, she just looks like she's about
to bust, you know what I mean. And you have
that same, that same essence. So I knew it was

(01:11:32):
something that resonated with you in regardless, and that makes
sense positivity, and.

Speaker 9 (01:11:36):
It reaches out to your audience right too. But they
feel it, they feel what you feel, and so you
draw them in with that. So I learned that from
her to act out your songs. Yeah, like act them
out and make them, make the audience bring them in. So, yeah,
it's wonderful.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
How long have you been singing Diana?

Speaker 9 (01:11:59):
Oh, oh gosh, she's gonna tell my well, I mean
since you were younger or well, singing professionally.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
No, I say, start singing her like when you just
I mean just even from the first time you heard her.
He was like, I'm gonna sing her songs.

Speaker 9 (01:12:17):
I was fifteen, you know, when I start singing the
songs in my room.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Yeah, yeah, mm hmm. You can tell she lives with you,
you know, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:26):
I was pretty pretty young.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
That's what I like about going to Vegas, right, because
I always tell people, you know, La, it has this
synergy here because all of everyone that all of the
greats they're here or either they came here or they
lived here at some point in time. So you get
a lot of energy, you get the synergy here. But
Vegas has its own special thing as well because they
have iconolized these great icons, so they live they live there.

(01:12:52):
So you can tell that Diana Ross she lives with you.

Speaker 9 (01:12:56):
Yeah, she's there. Yeah, And we I tell them all
the time. Oh, my god, my voice is not gonna happen.
I gotta get that, Diana, and then and it just
turns on. It turns on every time.

Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
It's like, Okay, that's stress it out for nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Let's moveing on down the road. Julie, you're paying homage
and contribution to the great Tina turned to the late
great Tina turned yes. Yes, Oh my god. Just talk
to me about the journey with you and Tina, how
she resonates with you, and how long have you been
performing her.

Speaker 10 (01:13:32):
I've only been performing Tina about a year now, okay,
and I started off it was just kind of a
fluke that I started doing her. But when I did
start doing her, it's the most of everything I've ever done.
It's the easiest and feels more natural to me to
do Tina.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (01:13:49):
Yeah, I think it's age appropriate for me. Why do
you say that because you know I'm the elder in
the group. Okay, I hate to say that I'm the older.
You know, you don't know that, no one needs to know,
but I am, so you know, but it's true.

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
So what I mean, a bad ass?

Speaker 10 (01:14:11):
She was a bad day, my god, and I feel
that it's perfect for me it's age appropriate and I
feel very comfortable doing Tina, I really do.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
I mean, she jumps on you. Yeah, oh my god.
And when you hit those notes, it just it just
does something to my soul.

Speaker 8 (01:14:28):
It does something to myself because I feel like I
get it. I get it, I get a girl. Come on,
I feel like that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:35):
Yeah, thank you, I feel it.

Speaker 5 (01:14:37):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 9 (01:14:38):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
So tell me what this means to you to be
able to play her on Saturday at two o'clock at
the next show.

Speaker 10 (01:14:44):
Saturday at two, It truly means a lot to me
because I'm I just feel like when I do that,
I feel like I'm doing what I should be doing
at this time in my career, I've done a lot,
you know, and for me right now, this is perfect
for what for how I feel in my body and

(01:15:05):
who I am.

Speaker 8 (01:15:06):
It's perfect for me. I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
Yes, yes, but we enjoy you, I mean give it
up for Julie Harris.

Speaker 4 (01:15:11):
I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Yeah, we enjoy it.

Speaker 8 (01:15:13):
I'm very excited. It's kind of a resurrection of totally Yeah,
I feel.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
Yeah, I'm excited. Okay, And then let Titia, I know
we already kind of spoke about the Aretha Franklin and
when you started doing her and how she resonates with you.
You know how people say, oh you can sing with me,
Oh you can sing Aretha. It sounds so effortless when
you sing Aretha, and you can be honest, don't don't

(01:15:44):
even feel any kind of way about saying it. Is
it as easy and simple, you know, as it sounds
when it comes out of your mouth, because it sounds
effortlessly to us.

Speaker 12 (01:15:56):
Well, I definitely have to make sure my soul is intact.

Speaker 11 (01:16:00):
Okay, okay, So if something is going wrong with me
and I'm trying to find my way back, I have
to get it right because Wretha's no joke joke.

Speaker 16 (01:16:09):
So but thank god I did her songs when I
was very young.

Speaker 11 (01:16:17):
You know, the Lord's prayer ain't no way, and never
knew I would try to imitate her.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
You're saying some stuff though, you say, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:16:26):
But your deliverances.

Speaker 12 (01:16:30):
So just getting the responses from people energizes me to
keep on.

Speaker 16 (01:16:36):
You know, it's wonderful when trying to just do what
God has given me talent to do.

Speaker 11 (01:16:41):
And you know, music is makes the world go rest
and it sues the heart and the soul. So I
get a lot of comfort peace when I can give
that energy out, you know, it calms me down.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
So I just want to tell you your note placement
is phenomenal, man, and I love like I can tell
you use all your chambers. You know, you're here, you're here,
you're here, and I can see you're dynamic with it,
and uh, there's when you we're gonna get a taste
of it. But it's this one note that you do
and I just I don't know, I just want to

(01:17:22):
come and none. I just I mean it back like
just oh my god, I get so excited. And because
it sounds so good, it feels good to us as well.
So I just wanted to kind of know how that
how it feels to you when you're when you're crooning
those those notes.

Speaker 16 (01:17:37):
Well, when I was.

Speaker 11 (01:17:40):
Three, two years older, three, my mother taught me the
Lord's Prayer. Yes, So at that early age, that's when
I kind of put that spiritual you know.

Speaker 16 (01:17:52):
Yeah, So from then on, my family was.

Speaker 12 (01:17:55):
Telling me shut up, mommy, makeer shut out.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
The same same I can't same. Yes, yeah, I think
we all have those similar stories where they're like, bout
you tell me we should have made all that noise,
and we all got loud mouths, all of us right
here got some loud ass mouths.

Speaker 6 (01:18:19):
Well, so, how you know, I just had a hard flashback.
I was the girl that I talked so much that
they separated me and that they made my dust touch
the teachers, thinking it was going to make me stop talking.
It doesn't work. I just get paid for it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
That's right, as you should. As you should. So, how so,
how important is it for you to do Aretha Franklin
this Saturday at two o clock at the Namshell.

Speaker 16 (01:18:49):
It's very important.

Speaker 7 (01:18:51):
And I.

Speaker 11 (01:18:53):
Am carrying the torch for one of the world's most
greatest singers all time. So that's definitely uh a gift.

Speaker 8 (01:19:05):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (01:19:06):
I respect her as a woman.

Speaker 18 (01:19:08):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (01:19:08):
She comes from a hard time and she's had the fight,
and uh she's made the way for so many of
us to do what we do. And they tried to
say R and B is dead. No, never never aresa
Franklin is.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
R and B.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Come on, talk about it. That's right here, and we are.

Speaker 16 (01:19:29):
Never going away, and you're gonna hear us even louder.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
That's right, that's right. We've got some big mouths. That's right.

Speaker 8 (01:19:37):
She's the institutions, the institution for the R and B
that's supposed to be dead.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 16 (01:19:46):
You know we are R and B.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
That's correct. Okay, Okay, that's okay, that's right. We were
wrapping it up. We getting down to these last few minutes. Okay,
miss Deborah. Okay, now I know I know the story
as to how you got to start playing share right now,
and I know you're like, well, I didn't even know
until you start doing it, and then everyone else is like, yeah,
do this, do this. You sound wonderful when you are

(01:20:09):
in your sharingess cause, like I said, I see her
jump on you. It's ascription. Yeah, she jumps on you.
Can you can you feel it? Can you hear it?
Do you even hear yourself? Or you are you having
that auto out of body experience or I'm totally her.

Speaker 6 (01:20:22):
I've I've done shows where we start out, we do
a half and half show where I start out, I
performance myself and then I'll go slip into her, and
I've had people come up afterwards. I've watched both versions
of me and her and like, oh my god, when
you became her, you were totally her, right, So it's
it like it's what you're all saying, it's a complete thing.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Are you Are you able to observe yourself as her,
like having that out of body experience where you're just
kind of watching yourself or your soul. When I'm in it,
I'm just in it. I'm so in it.

Speaker 6 (01:20:49):
I don't see it until afterwards, Okay, Like I'm just
in it and I live it, and I'm in the story.
I become the music.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
I am the music. And to go there is.

Speaker 6 (01:21:00):
You know, like like y'all said, it's such an honor
and definitely wasn't anything I had ever planned on doing,
not at all. Right, you know, I had sung two
Share songs in my life, but she was an inspiration.
She was you know, I was a little girl watching
her on Hunt TV. And what connected me to her was,
I'm a hard introvert. I'm very I'm that girl, and

(01:21:21):
growing up, like y'all, I was very shy or some
of you here, and so what intrigued me was watching
her on TV Sonny and Share. She would not even
look at the camera as a kindergartener, I'm noticing that,
and then she'd break into song and I always wanted
to perform as her. I just never thought i'd be her,
and so when it showed up, it was a mistake.
Somebody misinterpreted a conversation and tried to book my share band.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
I'm like, what it almost sounds two parts like it
chowse you me? However, that's what you were resonating because
it was in your spirit.

Speaker 6 (01:21:53):
She's been in my head for years. She's been as
a speaker, as a motivational speaker, a business leader, as
a learning how to be a professional motivational speaker. They alwa,
say who's your avatar? It was always share it ready
for this?

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (01:22:04):
Share Jack Canfild and Martha Stewart. So Shar's been in
my head for that's really a clitetic mixt and so
to become her on stage, you know, I had to
allow myself to fully embrace it and not because she
is still out and still doing there's a lot of
head stuff going on.

Speaker 18 (01:22:24):
Yea.

Speaker 6 (01:22:24):
So now I'm at a point where when I'm on stage,
I just do my best. Share is not about me.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
It is for me.

Speaker 6 (01:22:32):
It's for me to bless others.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
It's for me to grow and share the inspiration that
she is, and even in the in the blond right now,
you're still in golfing, like because if I don't know
if you're watching yourself, I got I don't know if
you're watching yourself on TV. But yeah, you're looking, you know,
in my rock and.

Speaker 6 (01:22:51):
Roll show one of the looks that I do because
I make all my own outfits. So I have a
look where I totally I pulled it inspired from one
of her album covers. So we have all these different
names for all the different outfits of versions of her.

Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
So okay, okay, I'm sorry, I thought you thought Funny
was on the phone or so okay, So really quick,
what does this show performance mean to you? On Saturday
at the NAM show at two o'clock?

Speaker 6 (01:23:16):
You know what, ladies, I am so humbled and so
honored to be here. And I will say when we
sang the first time we all got together, Stealita, thank
you for extending the opportunity and the same thing Amir
to be here. But I stood in the room kind
of like the y'all would just flank and meet, and
we're maybe three songs in and I just got really

(01:23:37):
quiet and prayed God, thank you so much. Music in
that room, it just was. It was amazing. So to
be here and emulate her amongst your great voices and
the women that you are portraying, I'm so honored because
it is it is about the legacy of continuing and
that resilience and no matter what this is me as her,

(01:23:59):
it doesn't matter what we've gone through. If you have
that vision, you have that dream, you have the goal,
go for it because you can do it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
Okay, all right, Last, but definitely not least, Miss Trina,
You'll be paying homage to Shaka Khan, which I know
you've sang with before. But you know what, what, First
of all, what does this mean to you to do
this show at the NAMN show at two o'clock on Saturday,
paying homage to Shaka Khan?

Speaker 8 (01:24:29):
Actually, this one is a really different feeling because I
get to show my appreciation of my idol and I've
played her when I was a younger person in my
younger life so many times, when I used to be

(01:24:50):
in a lot of talent shows before they had America
has talent and all that, I used to be in
talent shows and I sang a lot of the rufus
in Shaka Khan songs. Yeah, and I didn't think about
winning or anything like that. I thought that you had
to be hardcore and rough and raw to bring your

(01:25:10):
music as a funketeer, especially I joined a band, Prime
Suspect and Different Ones when I used to do the
rufus and Shaka Khan stuff, and the guys in the band,
they knew how to play the songs exactly like the records.
So I thought I was her. So being able to

(01:25:34):
portray her in a public form on a platform of
now it's like the world because it's a global experience
to me, and I hope she's watching because not because
I feel like, oh, I'm doing what you're doing. No,
I want her to know that I appreciate her. I've

(01:25:57):
met Chaka Khan many times. Yeah, she knows me, and
I would just like to show my appreciation and and
this is my time to show her just how much
she means to me and what she did in my
younger life when my mom was telling me, you better
stop screaming like that, you're gonna lose your voice.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
And I did lose my voice, but I got it back.
That's beautiful. So that's when Chaka Khan first resonated with
you were you was probably when I.

Speaker 8 (01:26:29):
Heard the first song, it was please pardon Me. The
first song from them, I heard tell He's good all that,
but what resonated with me was please pardon me and
pack my bags. And my mom when and she bought
the album for me, so I studied her. I studied
all of their music. I went back and got all

(01:26:52):
of the Roofs and Shaka Khan albums and studied it
and made sure that I honed it, because it's like,
if you can't see those no, then don't sing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
It, okay. And she's she's like that you can't sing
it right, you know, Okay? Real quick, quel quick, ladies,
because we came down to those last couple of minutes.
I'm gonna say my little piece about Whitney, and then
I want us, want us to give them a little
taste of what they're gonna get on Saturday. Not too much, ladies,
because they need to come to the show. They need
to come buy some tickets and go to the show.

(01:27:21):
But Whitney Houston has always been my everything. She really has.
I was a little girl and I was growing up
in Detroit, and I was really skinny. This little stick figure.
I had really short hair. I was like flat on
the front, flat on the back, and like in growing
up in Detroit, they like, you know, thick sisters. You know,

(01:27:42):
they like you know, meat on the bones or whatever.
I didn't start getting no glory. So I came to
the West Coast, Honey, because being as skinny was not
the thing in Detroit or Cincinnati. But I was. I
was an introvert, you know, I sang all the time
around the house, but in school I was very and
so when Whitney Houston came out, I was eight years

(01:28:02):
old when she came out, and she she had short hair,
and she was skinny, and she was floating front and
floating back, just like me. But she was beautiful and
they said that she was a model. And then I
heard her voice. And it used to be Denise Williams
for me, but I heard Whitney, and I loved Denise Williams,
no shade. But when Whitney came along, she just took
everything and I just kind of modeled my whole self

(01:28:25):
out of her off off, you know, behind her. I
would try to walk like her straight up, and you know,
you know, I started modeling too, like everything was Whitney, Whitney, Whitney, Whitney.
I could wake up. It was clock radios. I'm dating myself,
clock radio next to my nightstand. I could wait. I
could wake up and go, Whitney Houston's on, and I'll
scroll it until I'll turn it down until I can
get to what you know. And she played all the

(01:28:46):
way across the board the country, pop, R and B,
and you could find her anyway. I would just know
that she was on. When she did pass, I cried
like a baby for weeks. It was funny because everyone
was caught offering me their condolences because they knew how
much Whitney Houston means to me. So it is my honor.
Thank you so much for allowing me to do Whitney Houston. Okay, ladies,

(01:29:11):
before we go, can we give them a taste really
quick of what they may get.

Speaker 12 (01:29:17):
Okay, ladies, don't let me down.

Speaker 2 (01:29:19):
We're not gonna let you down.

Speaker 9 (01:29:20):
