Guest: Gerald Alston of the Mahattans

THE MANHATTANS were originally: Winfred "Blue" Lovett, Richard Taylor, Kenny Kelly, George "Smitty" Smith and Edward “Sonny” Bivins. Blue and Smitty were out front as the group's strong lead singers. Blue was also the group leader and an outstanding songwriter whose compositions with producer Joe Evans gave the group a string of hits on Carnival Records during the mid 1960s.
When Smith became ill in 1970, Phil Terrell stepped in as temporary lead singer until a permanent replacement could be found. In the fall of that same year, Gerald Alston, whose style paid homage to the legendary Sam Cooke took over as lead singer. More a pop singer than either Lovett or Smith, Alston's incorporation into the group enabled THE MANHATTANS to break out of their mold as "doo-woppers" and achieve major national success on Starday/King Records with a Teddy Randazzo love song entitled "A Million To One". In 1972, Blue Lovett's "One Life To Live" reached the top 20 R&B charts. With Alston handling all lead vocals and Lovett providing smooth spoken introductions, THE MANHATTANS moved to Columbia Records in 1973 where they collaborated with producer Bobby Martin on a string of hit ballads including, "There's No Me Without You", "We Never Danced To A Love Song" and "Hurt". The most notable of these ballads was Blue Lovett's "Kiss And Say Goodbye", a platinum selling #1 pop and R&B hit in 1976. In that same year, THE MANHATTANS teamed up once again with producer Randazzo to record "Feels So Good", "You're My Life" and "There's No Good In Goodbye". In 1977, they performed at President Jimmy 
Carter's Inaugural Ball and since then have received their share of platinum and gold singles, albums, and other industry kudos; most notably a 1980 Grammy for "Shining Star" written and produced by Paul Richmond & Leo Graham.
In 1985, THE MANHATTANS, wanting to enhance their show by adding a female vocalist to the act, chose 
Regina Belle after being introduced to her by legendary New York dj Vaughn Harper. Spending two years touring with THE MANHATTANS, she appeared on the Bobby Womack-produced single, "Where Did We Go Wrong" (a duet with Gerald Alston). She also contributed to The Manhattans 1986 Columbia Records album, "Back To Basics". A year later she was signed to the label as a solo artist. 
After 16 years with Columbia Records, lead singer Gerald Alston took his turn as a solo artist with Motown Records; while Blue Lovett, due to doctor's concerns regarding his health, decided to turn his attention towards producing and grooming new artists. The late 1980's found THE MANHATTANS pursuing individual interests within the industry.
In 1993, all that changed. With their 30th anniversary approaching in 1994, it was the perfect time to reunite. So, along with new members Troy May and David Tyson, a reunion tour was born.
On February 25, 1999 THE MANHATTANS were inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame.
In 2003, THE MANHATTANS released their first studio album in fifteen years featuring the beautiful ballad "Turn Out The Stars" which became one of the year's best songs. On December 9, 2014 Winfred “Blue” Lovett passed away.
On August 15, 2018, THE MANHATTANS celebrated their 56th anniversary.

Guest - Johnny LeGrand - KINGS & QUEENS - Real Relationships Explained”.

Shortly after my wife and I separated way back in 1984, for a brief time we considered getting back together. One day, in the midst of our reconciliation negotiations, I said to her, “Honey, if we get back together, you’re going to treat me like a King. Her rather sarcastic response was, “Why in the world would I want to do that?"

Well, my answer to that one question is the reason for the existence of "KINGS & QUEENS - Real Relationships Explained”. It was an amazingly simple, logical, “new” concept, that, evidently, very few people are able to wrap their heads around. My answer to her question was … “Because, I’m going to treat you like a Queen.” Without realizing it, I had figured out, perhaps, the biggest reason for almost all the problems experienced in relationships! For some reason, most people either cannot, or, will not, treat the other person like we all want and deserve to be treated - like royalty. (Note: Jesus washed the feet of his apostles.)

And, from that day to this, I have never wavered in my total commitment to that concept. That was the only thing that I thought made any kind of sense back then; and, today, over thirty years later, I still think that this is the only kind of thinking that makes any kind of sense. Because, at the end of the day, if, in reality, I’m treating you like a Queen; and, you’re treating me like a King, we’ve got a pretty good thing going; and that's something we can both work with, because, that’s a “REAL” Relationship. While “KINGS and QUEENS” is not a religious work, per se, I have conscientiously tried to base the information contained therein, upon many time-tested principles such as: The Golden Rule: “All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them.” … “Teach by example.” … “Turn the other cheek - Don’t do evil for evil.” … “Forgive others and you’ll be forgiven.” … and, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” These are principles contained in the Bible, and, THEY REALLY DO WORK!!! Through the introduction “KINGS and QUEENS – Real Relationships Explained”, I hope to provide a looking-glass through which people will be able to look at their relationships, (past, present, and any future relationships in which they might find themselves), in an entirely new and different way.

 I’ve been around awhile, and I’ve seen a lot of what works, and a lot of what doesn’t seem to work in relationships. I’ve personally been through a lot of what people go through in good relationships, as well as bad ones. Regarding most of the personal relationships I’ve been in, in the past, in all honestly, I didn’t handle the bad ones very well; and I handled the good ones even worse … (Any of you ever think about the really good people you’ve just let slip through your fingers in the past; the really good ones you just casually let get away? … How dumb is that?) Well, anyway, one of the things I bring to the table is experience; lot’s and lots of experience. Not only have I lived long enough to hear most of the really bad advice given by all the so-called “relationship experts” … I’ve lived long enough to see some of the tragic consequences of that bad advice in the lives of some of the people around me.

Now, I feel it necessary to let you know, it’s quite possible you may not like some of the things I have to say concerning relationships … (I don’t even like some of the things I have to say concerning relationships.) But, they need to be said. You may not believe some of the things I have to say; you may not agree with some of the things I have to say. You may not even understand some of the things I have to say. And, if you don’t, that’s ok. I never claimed to have all the answers, (In fact, I don't think anyone has all the answers.). And I have never encouraged anyone to take my advice or do anything I might suggest. All I ask, is, that you take a look at what I have to say with an objective eye. And, if after judging the information on its own merit, you feel it deserves further consideration, by all means consider it. But, if, after closer consideration, you feel there’s nothing to it; you can disregard everything you’ve heard, get back on the “Relationship Merry-Go-Round”, and keep on going in circles the rest of your life - it’s up to you. But, at least, you’ll be better prepared to consider some new and more positive ways of operating within the context of a nurturing, warm, and loving relationship - a REAL relationship. I do think it’s only reasonable to assume that, at least, some improvement could be made in the quality of pretty much any of the relationships most people are in today. And, if what you’ve been doing in the past has not worked as well as you would've liked, it would also seem reasonable for you to, at least, listen to some of the things I have to say. You owe it to yourself to start thinking about trying something new. 

I’m not saying I know everything there is to know about love, people, or relationships; but, I have seen some REAL people, in REAL relationships enjoying life, and giving and receiving REAL love.  And I’ll attempt to show you some of the things I’ve witnessed and experienced having to do with REAL relationships.

Topic: Commemorating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin. His grandfather began the family's long tenure as pastors of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, serving from 1914 to 1931; his father has served from then until the present, and from 1960 until his death Martin Luther acted as co-pastor. Martin Luther attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B. A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution of Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather had graduated. After three years of theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania where he was elected president of a predominantly white senior class, he was awarded the B.D. in 1951. With a fellowship won at Crozer, he enrolled in graduate studies at Boston University, completing his residence for the doctorate in 1953 and receiving the degree in 1955. In Boston he met and married Coretta Scott, a young woman of uncommon intellectual and artistic attainments. Two sons and two daughters were born into the family.

In 1954, Martin Luther King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. Always a strong worker for civil rights for members of his race, King was, by this time, a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He was ready, then, early in December, 1955, to accept the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn in his presentation speech in honor of the laureate. The boycott lasted 382 days. On December 21, 1956, after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the laws requiring segregation on buses, Negroes and whites rode the buses as equals. During these days of boycott, King was arrested, his home was bombed, he was subjected to personal abuse, but at the same time he emerged as a Negro leader of the first rank.

In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement. The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi. In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In these years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, Alabama, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience. and inspiring his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", a manifesto of the Negro revolution; he planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, "l Have a Dream", he conferred with President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure.

At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement.

On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated.
