I'd like to meet:

Beyonce, Rosario Dawson, Roberta Flack, Elton John, Billy Joel, John Legend, Morgan Freeman, Kirk Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Oleta Adams, and Alicia Keys to name a few.

Also, if they were still alive, I would like to meet Rev. James Cleveland and Donny Hathaway. They were excellent songwriters, pianists, singers...all that!

Music:

RICHARD SMALLWOOD IS MY FAVORITE ARTIST OF ALL TIME IN ANY GENRE!!!

I love any music he puts out and always have. I have everything he's ever done. I met him when I was about 6 or 7, and I've been following his ministry faithfully ever since.

In my opinion, there is no better musician than Richard Smallwood. He just has it all when it comes to music...he writes out of this world, plays the piano phenomenally, directs, produces, sings, arranges....he does it all!

I'm Richard Smallwood's webmaster. Click the link below to check out the MySpace page that I created for him, and that he and I run together: Richard Smallwood's Page

I come from a very musical family, so I've been around music for as long I can remember. Four aunts of mine have an a capella Gospel group called the "The Gospel Crystals." My uncle Dennis was one of the Richard Smallwood Singers. I also have several relatives that have sung in choirs at churches all around the DC Metropolitan area.
