I gotta be me

Sammy Davis Jr

I’m to busy to make real write-ups that you are all up to.

Sammy was a broadway star. He took his career to Vegas and flourished. Though he had his ups and downs he had to fight through a time of racism and hardship. Being the only black member of the Rat Pack and supporting president Nixon he was ridiculed and sometimes even disliked in the black community. He persevered though he died still owing money to the IRS and his home was confiscated. Having successful movie credits as well never hurt anyone.

Sammy had successful songs in, Candy Man, I’ve gotta be me, and What kind of fool am I. He is my second favorite member of the rat pack and though I probably should take the other…I like Sammy more. Sammy won a Grammy, an Emmy, and even an award from the NAACP. Not to mention I absolutely love “The Candy Man.” Sammy Davis Jr is one of my all-time favorites. And so is Willy Wonka.



Samples of Sammy:

Franki Valli

Can’t hate on Franki. Guy pumped out quite a few top 40’s. Was a badass. Is a guinea. Is from Newark. Inspired by Sinatra. I wish I had more time to write about Franki but I’m busier than **** and I’ll just have to let his music do the talking for me. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame as well as the Group Hall of Fame. Awesomeness.

Both of these guys fit into the Loung part of my studio and are absolute treats to listen to. If you haven’t listened to Sammy solo or Franki at all I’d suggest it. Otherwise, hate away. Real Talk.

cwice will handle that writeup when he gets home

cypress hill and slightly stoopid...never seen either and only recently heard of slightly stoopid...pumped fo CH though.

Shania Twain is a great country/pop artist so she fits pretty well with our label. She also happens to be sick value in the later rounds, considering she's one of the best selling female artists of all time:

She has also won a ****load of awards, 187 to be exact: 39 BMI Songwriter Awards, 26 Canadian Country Music Awards, 12 Junos, 9 Billboard Awards, 5 American Grammys, 5 American Music Awards, 4 ACMAs, and 2 CMAs.

She writes all of her **** as you can see by her 39 Songwriter Awards so she's not only a pretty girl with a good voice.

A couple of other things about her:

Oh yeah, and she's also pretty hot.

Some of her songs:

Man, I feel like a woman

You're still the one

I'm gonna getcha good
