So sad that another has passed! Stage actor (Oliver), musician and actor. Davy Jones was one of my teen heartthrob sensations in the 60's. I couldn't wait to watch their weekly sitcom comedy and listen to their albums. Like any lovesick teen age girl, my girlfriends and I would dream of the day Davy Jones would be our boyfriend! RIP...Davy Jones.

soul train has left the station to the promised land
Soul Train was my Saturday morning ritual. I was asked to be the first non-black to come dance on the show...I declined. You will never know what an inspiration you were to me and how you broke down racial barriers and made a positive impact on our musical history!
RIP Don Cornelius. ♥ love peace sooouuuul!
