the year 2008 be remembered as the year of the musical remake? Well
perhaps the last few months of the year at least. Seal's Brand New Soul
Classics - Change Is Gonna Come (You
Tube video below) releases in November (The 11th). Seal, who comes
from Great Briton, has released a few steppers cuts and cover songs
(remember "Touch", "Kiss From a Rose", "Walk on By"?) through the years
with success, but this remake is really true to the original in a scary
(good) way and the DJ's and the public both say they love it.
That doesn't happen that often. Seal married supermodel Heidi Klum in
2005, they have two children together.
The latest artist to enter the steppers radar is Kimmeth “KEYZ” who has
done a great cover of the steppers classic "Me and Mrs. Jones" (Listen
here). While not new to the music scene as his extensive bio
indicates, he is new to the steppers scene. And those who have heard the
remake say they love it. From what I understand, DJ Mellow Khris has
been test playing the song and getting "thumbs up's" from the dance
floor. The song is getting some airplay nationwide. Tonight at 8:30pm
(CST) Keyz will interview with Ray Neil on Chicago's WKKC-FM (www.wkkc.fm).
I've heard a few tracks (Thanks Gemini) and they are nice. I can't wait
for the album release but the date hasn't been set yet, but if "Me and
Mrs. Jones" is an indicator... there is a possibility this remake could
be pushed to the Billboard charts just like the way the community helped
push K-Jon to the number 1 position
Speaking of change. Do yourself a
favor. Do your country a favor and vote early. In Chicago alone,
over 101,000 people have voted early so far... a small percentage of
voters... Don't
procrastinate... Participate... Today!

This is an open message to ALL steppers. Please share it

As many of you may already know I started a new web
site for the benefit of the greater steppers community. It's called
History of Stepping Project. I wish to encourage you to add your
knowledge to the timeline. If you know anything about stepping, please
share this with the public on this site. We are looking for all
information related to stepping from it's beginnings to the present. The
information literally includes everything from clubs and bars which held
steppers sets and parties to contests and the participants and results,
to when different steppers organizations and classes started, who the
instructors were and are; Musical bands, and artists, DJ's, radio and
television personalities, Movies, videos, and photos… literally
everything stepping.
Creating an accurate historic timeline will go a long
way toward helping the community take the next step in its logical
progression as it continues to grow nationwide and will become a
valuable resource for all in the future.
Your input, your knowledge and your effort have made the dance what it
is today. Don't you feel your place (and your organization's) in the
timeline is well deserved? I do!
Please send an email to your members or readers inviting them to
participate. Place a link on your web site also please. All support is
appreciated!
The effort requires more than just posting the
information. The need for fact checkers, people willing to do some
research exists in this important ongoing project. Just a few minutes a
week can make a difference.
