Last night at The Knitting Factory...

Yes! THAT Prince ...the Artist! ...Star of 'Purple Rain' ...MAN, MYTH, & LEGEND!
Last night at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, California PRINCE joined The Blind Boys for their final song of the evening. As Jimmy Carter took a blind walk of faith into the PACKED crowd of fans singing and leading them in song, PRINCE came onto the stage and added some amazing guitar and then keyboard work to the mix! The band and crowd and PRINCE were all at once UNIFIED in some ROCKIN' gospel soul and it was another historical moment in the legend of The Blind Boys of Alabama.
Thanks to the great PRINCE for helping us take it to another level last night.
We'll hope to see him join us again ...anytime ...anywhere!
The POWER of GOSPEL music continues to AMAZE!
Hope YOU will join us at one of our many tour dates SOON!
Love, -The Blind Boyz

   

Q-Tip Taps Barack Obama For Upcoming Album

A Tribe Called Quest front man Q-Tip has reportedly enlisted presidential hopeful Barack Obama for his upcoming solo album, The Renaissance.

"I've got Norah Jones on there, but Barack is the big one," Tip told the New York Post's Page 6. "You'll see what happens, I can't reveal too much."

Along with Obama, who will be prominently featured on one song, Spike Lee will also make a political guest appearance on the album, set to drop this June.

The Renaissance will be the Queens rapper's first solo CD since 1999's Amplified. The artist's sophomore album, Kamaal The Abstract, was shelved after Q-Tip's label, Arista, considered the album too experimental. The album was supposed to come out in 2002.
