    Record companies are greedy and keep wanting more. George was only 18 years old when he signed his first contract. He was still a child and his lawyers at that time should of kept him in his best interest. When record companies see green (MONEY) nothing will stop them at getting more and more no matter who they hurt. They lost a legendary pop star. George is sorely missed. May he sing heaven's glory and soar with the Angels. So gifted.

    I remember when another one of my friends was diagnosed with AIDS. He had moved to be back with his family and I wanted to write him a card. It took me DAYS to figure out what to write. Back in those days, AIDS was a death sentence. What do you say, get well soon? Hope you feel better soon? Sorry you're dying? AIDS was a nightmare. I lost 6 people I was really close to.

    He bought so many folks together in terms of that Album. He also made history by being the first White Act and only White Act from Britian to go to Number One on The R & B Album Chart. He also created controversy when he won favorite R & B Male Artist at The American Music Awards beating Bobby Brown & Terrence Trent D'Arby. He along with Sheena Easton, New Kids On The Block were villified by being White Artists who did music with a strong R & B Influence and doing better than Black Artists. Even now from 1984-to the present, some of the biggest White Artists know their success is due to Black Folks from producers, songwriters, musicians, and choreographers.

      and those folks - regardless of race - who do those things in support of the artists in question deserve the due, in the form of salaries, percentage of earnings, or what have you. Dr. Dre produced Eminem, and that enriched the bank accounts of both artists.

And when the industry doesn't know how to categorize a single, THEY ALWAYS PUSH IT WHERE THEY CAN COMPARE THEM TO BLACKS. Did JAMES BROWN ever get his credit when white artists like Elvis IMITATED HIM? And WHY are white people CONSTANTLY trying to one up the blacks?
