Keyboardist: Gail NoblesToday's topic Let's Do It Again by the Staple Singers written by Curtis Mayfield Let's Do It Again was a soul R&B smash. It was part of the soundtrack for the Bill Cosby/Sidney Poitier film Let's Do It Again. The single reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on December 27, 1975. It spent two non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Hot Soul Singles chart. It was the last major hit by the group.The 1975 “Let’s Do It Again” starring Sidney Poitier and co-starring Bill Cosby and Jimmie Walker among an all-star black cast. The film, directed by Poitier, is about blue-collar workers who decide to rig a boxing match to raise money for their fraternal lodge. The song of the same name by The Staple Singers was featured as the opening and ending theme of the film, and as a result, the two have become commonly associated with each other.

I See Taraji as Tammi Terrell 1:3:24 12.04 PM
Story by: Gail NoblesTaraji Photo: Public Domain WikipediaTammi Terrell Photo: Public Domain Commons.WikimediaHello! I'm Gail Nobles and I want to talk to you again about Taraji P Henson. Taraji P Henson has played in The Color Purple of 2023 according to the Director Blitz Bazawule. She's actually singing in the movie, and she took some vocal lessons. Taraji has done an outstanding job.I could always see Taraji playing the life story of Tammi Terrell not knowing that she could sing.In case you didn't know Tammi Terrell was a singer songwriter widely known as a star singer for Motown records during the 1960s notably for a series of duets with singer Marvin Gaye. Though Taraji has talent in acting and singing, she might not want to play as Tammy Terrell, but she sure would be perfect for the role. If anyone approaches her with a pleasing offer, that would be awesome.I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to Actors Stories and Film.

Janet Jackson as Mae West 12:29:23 3.43 PM
by: Gail NoblesPhoto of Janet: NO3https://flic.kr/p/a15hkHUsage: Wikipedia CC BY 2.0Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to another episode of Actors, Stories, and Film. Today I'm thinking about the time when I was a little girl watching little Janet Jackson as May West. I didn't know who May West was until I had learned who Janet was imitating. May West was before my time. Janet Jackson was amazing acting as May West when she was a little girl. I remember on the TV comedy Good Times when she imitated May West while talking on a CB.“Well, I'm very mature for my age.” She would put her hands on her hip. Janet Jackson was an awesome May West. I think Janet would say her own lines imitating Mae West, but I remember Janet saying a famous line by May West."Why don't you come up and see me sometime.” Janet would pat her hair near the back of her neck just like May West. I haven't seen Janet Jackson act like May West in decades. Now that she's a grown woman, she probably could act out May West better than she did before. Janet could make a small black and white mini movie and bring it in color acting as Mae West with song and dance. She could show off May West’s style and fashion and add her own. In case you're wondering, May West was an American actress singer, comedian, screenwriter, and playwright whose career Spand over seven decades. She was considered a sex symbol, and that's who Janet Jackson is. People consider her also as a sex symbol. I'm Gail Nobles. Today's episode: Janet Jackson as May West.

Taraji P. Henson 10:11:23 5.54 PM
Voice actor quotes by: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesPhoto: Wikipedia Public DomainTaraji P Hanson is an outstanding actress. We all know that movies are just movies, but Hendon can make them seem real as an actress.I'm thinking about several movies she played in like the movie Hidden Figures. The scene where she has an argument with actor Kevin Costner about the bathroom.“There is no bathroom, .. and I work like a dog!” Thouh Henson is just acting, it doesn't look and sound like it, and that's what we want in acting. She played as Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician.I'm thinking about the movie The Best Of Enemies. She always carried a tough look on her face in that movie."We gonna beat school segregation once and for all!"Henson played as Ann Atwater, a community organizer in Durham, North Carolina. The movie was based on a true story.Then there's another film starring Taraji P Henson. It’s an action film. She plays as Mary Goodwin. She kills her target Marcus Miller in his apartment and she took care of his son Danny. “Hey! your mouth. I told you I wasn't gonna let anybody touch you and I meant it.” The name of that movie is Proud Mary.Taraji P Henson is a strong actress. She has played plenty of great rolls in movies in her Hollywood career.I'm Gail Nobles today's topic: Taraji P. Henson

It was released as a single in 1968 from her Aretha Now album. The song reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Franklin's seventh top 10 hit in the United States. The song also reached number 1 on the magazine's Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles, becoming her sixth single to top the chart. Aretha Franklin did not only sing her song, but she was an actress while singing it. You can tell when you hear the song that she might have lived it somehow. You can hear it in her voice on the record. Aretha was singing with emotion and feeling she could switch her voice for an example: What ya trying to do to me? What ya trying to do to me?Yeah, Miss Aretha Franklin was something else. She was an actress in her singing. She had the expressions in her face as well as in her voice. She played as Mrs. Murphy in the Blues Brothers singing her song, Think. She was a terrific actress both in singing and for film.Aretha made a remake of Think in 1989 about drinking and driving, telling the people to: think about it before you turn the key.

He is one of the greatest actors in American history.He has done live-action acting, voice acting, and commercial voice-overs.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Jones appeared in a number of other successful films like Conan the Barbarian (1982). That’s a film I’ll never forget. That’s the film where you get to see him.

Song by: Sharon Paige & Harold Melvin and the Blue NotesSong written by: Kenneth Gamble & Leon HuffActors by: Gail NoblesKeyboardist: Gail NoblesHope That We Can Be Together Soon is a song written by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, that was originally recorded by Dusty Springfield as "Let's Get Together Soon" and was included in her 1970 album, A Brand New Me. The track was produced by Gamble and Huff.Now, let’s talk about the 1975 version. The composition scored a hit when it was released by Sharon Paige and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in 1975. Unlike most of the group's singles from this time period, Melvin handles most of the vocal duties, while Teddy Pendergrass appears for one line and the closing part of the song. Paige took on a more prominent role in the group after Pendergrass left the group for a solo career.Released in 1975 from the album To Be True, the song reached number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart in the summer of that year. It reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.Hope That We Can Be Together Soon is a song I’m sure will come to mind for families that have lived a very far distance away from each other for years distant friends, and most of all lovers.I’m GailNobles, and you’re listening to actors, stories,and film.

Temptations & Four Tops 12:31:21 1.23 PM
Intro: by Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesAll photos: Public Domain/ Wikipedia.orgThe Temptations & Four TopsIt was Motown 25 when I first saw the Temptations and Four Tops perform together. It was a battle between the two groups in a fun kind of way. I’ll never forget watching them on TV when I heard the announcer say: The Four Tops and The Temptations here to battle it out just like in the old days!The Four Tops began first singing a little bit of their song, Reach Out (I’ll Be There). Then the Temptations began singing a little bit of their song, Get Ready. They kept on that way singing different songs in between.The audience would applaud both groups, and you could hear the excitement in their voices shouting out for them. The Temptations would take over and sing Sugar Pie Honey Bunch by the Four Tops & The Four Tops would end up singing one of the Temptations’ songs. Before long, they were like one group singing one song, and the audience gave them a standing ovation. Motown 25 was a 1983 TV Special. When Motown returned to the Apollo in 1985, The Temptations and the Four Tops had a battle again. Bill Cosby said: If you got a weak heart, you better leave now because I got a feeling something special is about to happen. We call it the battle of the groups.In that battle Levi Stubbs was left in my mind. He was an awesome actor in singing. Melvin from the Temptations would sing something like: Bom dom dom dom dom.And Levi would say: Shut up Melvin!Melvin: Got you that time.Levi: Okay! That’s enough! That’s enough!But it was all love between the two. I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. Have a Happy New Year.

There was more to Jackie than baseball. There are some things that were not shown in the movie starring Chadwick Boseman about Jackie. And Parker might be the perfect man to play as Jackie. He could play as young Jackie and an older and retired Jackie with grey hair. People like to see the actors act & look like the real person. Jackie Robinson served as lieutenant in the US Army. He played as a major role in the Civil Rights Movement. He continued to break down racial barriers after leaving baseball. These things could be put into a new movie. They did not focus on the life of Jackie Robinson after he left baseball in the movie starring Boseman. There are things you may not know about Robinson that could make another movie.To me, Nate Parker is a good actor and filmmaker. He played in the movie The Great Debaters starring Denzel Washington, The Birth of a Nation, and American Skin to name a few.I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Movies Unmade.

You’ve seen him in films such as Fist of Fury 2, Deadly Strike, and Return of the Tiger just to name a few. After Bruce Lee’s death, Bruce Li’s acting career began. Bruce Lee died in 1973, and I was three years old. I saw clips of his funeral at age 3 and went on thinking that I was watching Bruce Lee whenever I saw Bruce Li in Kung Fu films. Thanks to Bruce Li, I remember Bruce Lee. I couldn’t tell them apart.At the movie theater I remember being in a long line with my mother and father just to see a Bruce Lee or a Bruce Li film. It is Bruce Li that I remember the most. I always called him Bruce Lee. My favorite film starring Bruce Li is titled Deadly Strike. He played tough in that one. I also like Fist of Fury 2. Seeing Bruce Li play in those films made it seem like Bruce Lee was still around. He was a great Bruce Lee imitator and great actor. So where is Bruce Li today. In 1985, he ended his career and returned to Taiwan. I wish to see him again in a Kung Fu film as Bruce Li just one more time for old times' sake. Bruce Li is still around, and you can find him on Facebook. It’s great to see him there.I’m Gail Nobles and Today’s Topic is: Where Is Bruce Li?

Example of an Oscar - 12:5:19, 10.30 PM
Story by: Gail NoblesToday's topic is an example of an Oscar. The Academy Awards. If you want to make a great movie and win an Oscar, try doing something never done before.The Ten Commandments was a movie that won an Oscar in 1957 for special effects. It was amazing to see the parting of the Red Sea. It was a Bible story brought to life in film and was exciting to see. The burning bush and seeing the pillar of fire was exciting to see too. I haven't seen another movie done like that one. The movie is a 1956 epic religious drama film produced, directed, and narrated by Cecil B. DeMille, shot in Vista Vision (Color by Technicolor) and released by Paramount Pictures. Today movies seem to be quickly made with computer adding special effects, but when I look at the special effects in the movie of The Ten Commandments, it looks so real. The Wizard of Oz was another great example of an Oscar type of movie and also Gone With the Wind. So if you want to make a great movie and win an Oscar, think of the movies that won oscars. Think of something great to make a movie about. Try to make a movie that you know people would want to see. Some movies are made fast and confusing. Some movies are just not good at all. When I think about how the old movies were made, I can tell that they were made well and made from the heart. We need movies to be made like that today...

NoblesKeyboard player by: Gail NoblesActors by: Gail NoblesSound effects of web webshooter: Soundbible.com and https://www.freesfx.co.ukStan Lee info: Superman VS Spiderman comic bookPhoto Credit: Public DomainStan Lee from Marvel Comics and Carmine Infantino from DC comics had been friends for years. They collaborated on strips in the early days of comics. Stan wrote them and Carmine drew them. They both knew that they couldn't keep their top heroes apart. According to Stan, readers everywhere were demanding a team-up of Superman and Spiderman. And so it happened. Superman VS Spiderman was in the giant DC comic of 1976. There were two villains that teamed up in the comic book, Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus. They combined forces in order to conquer the world and kill both of the men who put them behind bars.Superman mistakenly blames Spiderman for the disappearance of the two women, Lois Lane and Mary Jane. The two of them got into a fight. When Spiderman's punches, instead of staggering Superman, suddenly had little effect, Spiderman calls off the fight. Realizing they had been deceived, Superman suspected a plot by Lex Luthor and Doc Ock. Superman and Spiderman joined forces to fight the two villains. The name of the comic book is "Superman VS The Amazing Spiderman: The Battle of the Century" published by Marvel and DC Comics. I think that the comic book would make an awesome movie. At the same time, you would see two bad villains. One from the DC world and one from the Marvel world combine forces. It's an interesting story. So I know it would make an interesting movie.

But we didn't get to see much of the social activist James Brown. I think another movie should be made starring the man James Brown endorsed known as the Godson, Tony Wilson.James Brown said, "We tired of beating our heads against the walls and working for someone else....Black power meant different things to different people, see. To some people it meant black people owning businesses and having a voice in politics.James Brown had great philosophy of his own. He would put it into his music. I believe that Tony Wilson, endorsed as the Young James Brown by The Godfather of Soul himself should play as James Brown. He can dance and sing just like The Godfather. Tony has his looks, voice, and style. He would be perfect for a new James Brown movie. Tony has been on stage with James and was recognized by him for a movie role . Mr. Wilson was asked to be in Tony Scott's Internet-only short film, "Beat the Devil".Now today, Tony is doing the works that James Brown would do singing his own song with a familiar voice titled, "Fight the Power". It would be great to see him in a new James Brown movie and repeat the things that James Brown said, "You know, in Augusta, Georgia I used to shine shoes on the steps of a radio station.....But today, I own that radio station.......That's black power."I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to Movies Unmade.

But where do they com from? Prince Vultan is the Prince of the bird like Hawkmen in the Flash Gordon comic strip and it's adaptations. Vultan and his people dwell in Sky City, a metropolis that floats in the sky. Vultan and the other Hawkmen provoked some controversy at the time of publication. Some Christian leaders regarded the characters as blasphemous because they resembled angels.A movie could be made about the hawkmen alone. In the movie, it can be said that the Hawkmen were created by scientists and thy flew to an undiscovered planet. And they could say that the people on earth felt threatened by the Hawkmen. On the undiscovered planet, the bird like men could become a kingdom and become a divided kingdom. It could be said that's how Vultan and part of the Hawkmen started dwelling in Sky City. I picture Vultan as a tall, muscular, and mighty Hawkman with the characteristics of a king, pirate, viking, hawk, and man. He could look dreadful to ordinary men because of his great wings and tall stature.Until next time, goodbye friends! You're listening to Movies Unmade.

Something pointed out to me that the song "Greatest Love of All" was a very good song. I had heard it before from George Benson back in 1977, but when Whitney Houston sang it in the 80's, I didn't recognize the song because I heard George and his version of it maybe once or twice. By then, I had forgotten about it. Whitney's first line singing the song was, I believe the children are our future. People, you've got to believe in your children. There was a woman in the Bible name Sherah who built 3 cities. You'll find that in 1 Chronicles chapter 7 verse 24. In our world today, people look at the gender a lot, but whether you are male or female, God will use you. the Bible lets us know who we are. Children grew up in the Bible and became great. They were not just born to be born.The children are the future. Don't put them down. Encourage them. Whitney Houston singing The Greatest Love of All is something we ought to remember and keep in mind. You know Whitney became great herself, and she probably had other abilities that she didn't know she had. People ask you how did you do so and so. Just know that things come from God. I'm Gail Nobles, and this is my story Whitney Within.

Muhammad Ali spoke great things, and things that made a lot of sense regardless of his joking around in boxing. I think a movie should be made focusing on his great speeches and other things that he may have done that some of us may not know about.

How the Globetrotters got started would make an interesting beginning.Abe Saperstein was the man that started the team. He grew up watching black boys play basketball in the streets of Chicago. Abe started a professional black basketball team. Black guys were not allowed to play on white teams in those days. In 1927, according to the Globetrotters's History, Abe took the team out on the road. There is meaning behind the name “Harlem Globetrotters”. Harlem lets you know that the team is black and the name “Globetrotters” was to make you think that they had traveled all over the world. If I am not mistaken, at first, the Globetrotters had not traveled all over the world. Maybe, Abe believed that they would, and he gave them that awesome name. The Harlem Globetrotters were not really from Harlem. I think the first five came from Chicago. At first, they only had five players. When the team traveled on the road, times were a bit tough. They did not have much money and they slept in the car. It was very cold. There was some racial discrimination, but as time went on, things got better for the Globetrotters. They are still famous today and traveling around the world. The story of the Harlem Globetrotters would make a great movie. I'm Gail Nobles. Your listening to Movies Unmade.(Radio Announcer).....

Superman Remake the Last Knight 8:15:18, 3.58 PM
Movies UnmadeStory by: Gail NoblesKeyboard player: Gail NoblesVoice actor by: Gail NoblesPhoto Credit: Pixabay8/18/2018The Adventures of Superman was a television series starring George Reeves in 1952. I don't remember seeing Superman fighting against a lot of foes as strong as he was. I saw some of the episodes from the series in the 1970's. The television series was still great to watch though Superman didn't have foes with his strength. There is one episode from the season 6 DVD that I thought would be a great remake for the big screen. The episode is titled, "The Last Knight". It is the TV episode from 1958 and in color. In this episode, Superman was flying wearing armor. He was dressed as a knight. Clark Kent did not appear to be worried about the secret society knights. They were the bad guys who were four rich men dressed as knights. I'm sure Clark Kent as Superman would have been worried to know that Lois Lane was captured by them in a remake. He would rescue her in a hurry. The story would probably be altogether different and maybe more fascinating. The story would be more exciting.In the TV series, Lois Lane, Jimmy, and some of the knights were locked up in a dungeon with Superman dressed in his armor disguise. They were locked up by one knight that was a killer. And of course you know Superman won the battle. Superman looked great in the 1950's as a flying knight. If Superman looked great in the 1950's as a flying knight, I'm sure the new Superman would too.

There were things inside of me that I felt. There was something guiding me along and letting me know that Whitney was really a decent person. I looked at her from the very beginning of her career. I feel the guide is a simple gift. Something tells me that Whitney did make some mistakes. Don't we all? Something also tells me that she was very powerful, and there was a lot of envying going on. I was told to look at what I saw. I feel that was the Spirit of God talking with me. I heard him say, "Don't worry about Whitney's death."Many times I would listen to Whitney Houston sing. She could sing with a loud shout. Whitney would do the kind of things in singing that gospel singers do. One day I tried singing in that shouting voice incorrectly and discovered that Whitney's high note wasn't my high note. Somehow I felt Whitney Houston saying, "You have strength. Stay with you." To be honest, I don't feel the spirit of shouting when I sing. I feel something else. What God gave to Whitney Houston, God gave to Whitney Houston.As I study the Bible, God talks with me about things like raising the dead. I don't know whether or not God intended for Whitney Houston to die. Right now, she's resting. I feel in God that it's only the beginning. Sometimes I feel a mystery. St. John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” It feels like Whitney Houston never left. I'm Gail Nobles, and this is my story, "Whitney Within".

I'm going down the street and play checkers with Freddy."Rock the Boat" is a song by "The Hues Corporation", written by Wally Homes. It was released in 1974.

I would sing it all the time, and my mother and father would record me on a big rim tape recorder. Yes, "Rock the Boat" was a song that people would sing along with as they lived their lives. Jimmy: Betty, let's go fishing today.Betty: Let me grab my hat and shoes. I've been wanting me a good old fried fish.Jimmy: Me too.

Old People Story
Story by: Gail NoblesVocals and Music by: Gail NoblesPhoto credit: Wikipedia.com (Public Domain)July 28, 2018There is a special song that I have been looking for - for a long time. It has been finally found. It's titled, "Old People", by Archie Bell & the Drells.Do you ever think about where you will be if you live to get old? Some people don't. In some nursing homes, people are very cruel to the elderly.I met a praying old lady in her 90's in the nursing home. She was in a wheel chair. One day she fell, and she hit the floor, and nobody was around to help her up. Somehow she managed to help herself up. She told me that sometimes she would ask God, "Lord, you still there?"We get scared sometimes. When I was leaving out the door, I was thinking that old lady could be me one day. That's when Archie Bell and the Drells fell on my mind with their song. It was a song released in 1978. I'm Gail Nobles, and that's the song for today. To hear the original group, Archie Bell and the Drells, and the original song, "Old People", go to YouTube.com.

My Flashback with the Spinners - I'll Be Around (Word of Promise)
Story by: Gail NoblesVocals by: Gail NoblesThe Spinners "I'll Be Around" was a great dance sound of the 70's, but it was more than that to me. The song was a word of promise when I heard it in my mother's Chevorlet Impala on the AM station. Me and my brother watched my mama struggle to keep the car on the road, and she worried about who would fix it. It looked like a 1978 or 1979 model she called rusty blue. Hearing the Spinners sing "I'll Be Around" on the radio was a song of hope......
Story by: Gail NoblesMusic by: Producer Loopshttps://www.producerloops.comSamples by: Producer LoopsFemale and 2nd Male voice: Gail NoblesPhoto Credit: WikipediaI'm thinking about a Canadian R&B singer and songwriter named Keshia Chante. I would like to see her star in an action crime movie with someone like Jet Li. Keshia has had great songs such as "Table Dance", "Come Fly With Me", and "The Valley" just to name a few. But to see her in an action film would be awesome. I think Keshia has what it takes. She has great looks and great talent. Keshia has done a wonderful job hosting BET's 106 & Park.

LL Cool J _ Radio Man _GN Podcast
My discussion today is about LL Cool J. Before he wrote the lyrics I'm Bad, I knew that he was bad. My favorite rap song by LL is Radio, and in my mind he is the radio man. LL Cool J means Ladies Love Cool James. When I first heard his rap Radio, that’s when I loved him. That was the name of LL’s first album. Before I had ever seen his face, I loved him by his voice and lyrics. When I first saw LL perform radio on Soul Train, I loved him even more. LL has always been the radio signal to my mind......Article by: Gail NoblesArtwork by: Gail NoblesMusic by: The Passion HiFiwww.thepassionhifi.comWalkie Talkie sound: by jamesabdulrahman Creative Commons 0 Licensehttp://www.freesound.org/browse/
