Craig's Pop Life: 6.11.22

Hey, party people!

Hope you’re well & enjoying Black Music Month & Pride Month. I’ve been working so hard that this will have to stand as my Black Music/Pride Party.

But first, an important message:

Claire Willett @clairewillett

for pride month this year can straight people focus less on "love is love" and more on "queer and trans people are in danger"

Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to write about the Black gay male influnce on pop music. Check it out!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Jean Carne, Adrian Younge, & Ali Shaheed Muhammad - “People Of The Sun”

REPOST: I put these mixes in the last letter, but some people—depending on browsers—couldn’t see them. I love them so much that I decided to put them in this letter too.

Faith Evans - “Faithful (Interlude) [Keemix]”

Whitney Houston - “Things You Say (Keemix)” *My fave Whitney song, btw.*

The Jones Girls - “Children Of The Night (Keemix)”

CLUB VAULT

Ronnie Dyson - “All Over Your Face (JM After-Session M&M Mix)”

Risco Connection - “I’m Caught Up (In A One Night Love Affair)”

Yolanda Adams - “Open Your Heart (Steve “Silk” Hurley Mix)”

Mary J. Blige - Love Is All We Need (D.Y.M.K. Club Mix)

AMEN CORNER

Ronnie Dyson - “Master, Can You Use Me?”

Thanks for hanging out again. I hope you enjoyed the letter. Until next week, be cool, be kind, be creative, be yourself. Love, Craig
