On this day, January 27, 1991, we witnessed one of the greatest performances of The Star Spangled Banner live from Super Bowl XXV by none other than #thevoice Whitney Houston. Who performed your favorite rendition of the National Anthem? #flashbackfriday #blackhistory

We have sadly lost soul & funk singer Jean Knight, best known for her smash hit #MrBigStuff . In 2002 she said “Mr Big Stuff is better to me now than 31 years ago. All I have to do is sit at home and wait for the mailman.” 🙏🏿2 artists like Heavy D, John Legend, Eazy-E. RIP Jean🕊️

We’re so sorry to hear that the one and only Ms. Jean Knight has passed away at the age of 80. The Louisiana-born artist released her album MR. BIG STUFF in 1971, and she quickly became an irreplaceable member of the Stax family. Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones.

I’m so happy to hear this news. What an example of never giving up Tyler is. To go from living out of his car to owning #BET is an incredible story. And to have our first Black television network in Black hands again is a good look to me. 🙏🏾 Congratulations @tylerperry !

Happy Birthday to Prince. He would have been 61 today. A new album of songs he wrote for other people, but recorded versions of him performing them, is being released today. It’s called “Originals”. It was put together by Jay-Z and Troy Carter. He's still The Man or THE KID👊🏿💜

We’ve sadly lost a legend today, game show host icon, Bob Barker, whose television career spanned over 50 years. He passed quietly at home. He was 99. RIP Bob 🙏🏾🕊️ #ThePriceIsRight #TruthorConsequences via @nbcnews

Bob Barker, longtime ‘The Price Is Right’ host, dies at 99

When producers hired Barker to host “The Price Is Right” in 1972, they hit the jackpot. The game show had faded significantly from its glory days in the late ‘50s and had been punted by two networks...
