featured on the Abercombie and Fitch website! A&B Milan...check it out!
My boy Sting and I took some time to
hang out before the "Let The Sunshine In"
foundation concert!
To all of my family who helped and
participated in the Let the Sunshine In Concert I
want you to know I am extremely pleased with each
and everyone of you. The light shone so brightly,
we will never be the same again. It is because of
your hearts openness, willingness, soulfulness, and
hard work that God has blessed all of us. (We were
a 300 person cast, the biggest event I have ever put
on in my life....mom, you rattled your jewelry).
Jeanie Tracy, our Queen of the Bay
Area with “Didn't it Rain”, brought all
the emotions to the fore. We love and adore you!
And to all involved, we shot for the
moon, got the moon and then some! We want to inspire
all music on the earth and the children who love the
music. Play your hearts out.
Aloha & Love to you,
Brother Narada

An awesome night indeed. Those rich and not so famous
folk of Marin partied their little rich asses off!!!.

heard ChaCha heels before and lost their minds when
we pumped it out. Cool!!!!

This season has been sooo busy, haven't
had time to breathe. The Angela Bofill Concert was
offfffffffff the *freakin Chain*
OMGggggggggg!!!The beautiful Grace Cathedral was packed
and every seat filled. There was at least 4,000 people
there. Thank you Narada for selecting me to be Angela's
voice for the evening. I sung ANGEL OF THE NIGHT and
I TRY, two of her biggest hits....I had a 16 voice
choir backup and six piece band. Bonnie Raitt , and
my friend Carlos Santana, Bonnie Hayes and Mary wilson
were there in awesome form. All the performers were
wonderful..it indeed was a magical night. Angela was
there and spoke and it was so heartwarming to hear
her speak because the stroke that she suffered has
left her limited in speech and movement. But I hope
God blesses her to speak and sing again. I love my
Angelita del Noche (Angel of the Night.) Angie and
I did Narada's Xmas party every year for ten years.
Okay we're getting ready for the Narada
Christmas Jam...which is going to be at the Marin
Civic Center...I love the Holidayz because I can work
at home and not fly around like crazy. I want to pay
Tribute to my friend and producer Sonny Padilla (ESP)
who passed away quietly in his home last week. Sonny
is going to be missed greatly. I have a lot of memories
of Sonny around my home and in my heart.
Want to send a shout out to my sister's
Linda Clifford,Debbie Jacobs- Rock, and Martha Wash

Hello all

in the show called I WRITE THE SONGS. I had a wonderful
time rehearsing for the show and getting to know the
people involved in the show. Unfortunately our stay
was shortened by friction between the Producers and
the Casino which is unfortunate because everyone had
bonded so well and we all enjoyed doing the show.
Hopefully we all can work together again. Thank you

me Disney World Orlando...thank you Johnny Chisolm

soon. Monie is my good friend, awesome person and
singer. Also news is my brother Larry Batiste and
I have a song on the Billboard dance chart entering
the Breakout at #4...produced by long time friend
Ernest Sonny Padilla and Me Uno Productions.
I have been asked to go to France to do a Sylvester
project with French producers...many people have asked
me to do covers of Sylvesters music. So maybe it is
time. It was also the late Weathergirl, Izora Armstead's
wishes for Martha Wash, myself and her to do a Syl's
Girls reunion. It never happened before Zora went
to heaven, but Martha and I have done shows together
and you all know how I feel about Ms Martha. We even
did a Sylvester Tribute year before last. That was
sooo much fun!!!
So kids if you don't hear from me right away, I am
tucked away some where writing songs for all my projects
and other Artists.
Love You!!!!
Happy
