The song his Hey Nineteen (not Eighteen), but your point about Aretha Franklin still fits.
Don’t forget Tina Turner
James Brown? Michael Jackson? Tina Turner?
Wow, how far do you have to go back to find black and latino stars. And I mean stars that showed up on prime time TV and played on the biggest radio stations in the country. Johnny Mathis and Nat King Cole were on TV when it started. Ritchie Valens was just 17 when he had a number one hit and a number two hit. His parents were both born in Mexico. And by the way there are hundreds more, maybe thousands. If Olivia thought white girls where the only stars she did not get out much. Nor did she ever turn on the radio. Jay Lo and Beyonce must be mad.
Yes, but this girl is eighteen, so I changed it to make it fit her. (Apologies to Donald Fagan.)
Four hit songs and every one of them is about the bad choices she made when it comes to boyfriends.
These were the first I knew...My first LP at 16 yo..
At age 18 I too was stupid! I even voted for a local Democrat. Give her a break, it is the media that hypes this more than her.
Santana, Selena and Ricky Martin were/are big stars.
Donna Summer
The One and Only Tina Turner
Janet Jackson
Whitney Huston.
Toni Braxton
Chaka Khan
Gloria Estefon
Anita Baker
Pointer Sisters
Sade
Mariah Carey
Paula Abdul
Does she really think that all across Asia all of the pop stars are "white"? Hasn't she ever seen a K-Pop band, or a Bollywood star, or a Chinese pop star, or a Filipino pop star? Has she ever seen what pop stars in Nigeria look like?
But she IS white!
My wife once thought all cats were female.
Gladys Knight
Nigeria = Sade
BS propaganda here’s a few off the top of my head way before this racist’s time:
Whitney Houston
Mariah Carey
TLC
Pointer Sisters
Shakira
Jennifer Lopez
Tina Turner
Janet Jackson
Brandy
Monica
Aaliyah
I’m sure there are many, many more
One thing all of the young Americans fixated on race seem to miss is that the USA is only one part of a very large and diverse world. And in most of the world "white" people as characterized by the American left are a tiny minority.
thank you... Gloria Esteban, etc etc etc
Her skills at research are about on par with most yutes today. Clearly she skipped over jazz completely. Apparently hip hop as well. Motown must be alien to her vocabulary. If she's that ignorant Elvis and the Beatles would probably draw a blank face on her.
Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Gloria Estefan, just off the top of my head.
Ms. Rodrigo is an ignorant poseur and a liar.
