I would like to believe that I'm a student & teacher of life. At the beginning of 2007, I relocated from NYC to Charlotte, NC. I've written 4 books of poetry and have just completed my 1st novel. I would like to believe that my life experience may be able to educate others by seeing the world thru my eyes. There's always a point of view, & I'd like to add my flavor. I'm an extremely private person, however, I believe that I can speak for the voices that need to be heard. I was quite amused to find this story on Black Entertainment News. There was an article on Lynda Carter, better known as Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman. According to the story, Ms. Carter was in her grand hotel room in Manhattan, where she was trying to play a CD. Try as she might, but she was having a hard time operating the hotel's equipment. She pressed, play, enter, select, still it didn't work.
 |
| Finally she did something and the CD started to play. The song was the famous classic Sam Cooke song, "You Send Me". What was surprising was instead of Mr. Cooke singing, it was Ms. Lynda Carter singing and as she was happy to have gotten the CD player to work, she was extremely happy to be singing with herself in two part harmony. Yes, the CD was a recording of her new CD, singing "You Send Me".
Many may not remember but Ms. Carter did sing on some of the variety shows during the time of the Wonder Woman reign. The article quoted Ms. Carter, "I didn't realize how much I missed music until I came back," she says, her tall frame swaying. "It's just a blast. It's so much fun." It also stated that her drummer and leader of her band, Paul Leim commented, "She's really a very incredibly talented singer." |

But what Lynda really enjoyed was playing a sociopath on "Law & Order."
When I think of Black Entertainment News, I think of all people of color. Now you are probably thinking, why was an article written about Ms. Lynda Carter? Many don't know this but Ms. Lynda Carter is Latina. Her name was changed to Lynda Carter for professionally reasons. In interviews she's always mentioned it but the America of yesterday, didn't want to hear it. By the way, Lynda has two CD's, one titled, "Lynda Carter At Last" and a soon to be released, "Lynda Carter Live." "This is a collection of some of my favorite songs…a labor of love upon my return to music." -Lynda Carter I have a feeling that now since we have a black President of the United States, a lot of people be reclaiming who they really are.
