The board of directors, of The N.A.R.B. Dee Jays Association, recently conducted our annual nominations for our "Blue Note Award" given to a recipient, each year, for their effort in the promotion, preservation and perpetuation of Rhythm & Blues music, with distinction.
Congratulations goes out to Mr. Danny Brooks, our 2007 winner of our Annual "Blue Note" Award. His efforts in writing and performing of the songs "The Other Side Of The Cloud" and now "Ain't That the Truth" have caught the ears of many of our members, who have presented these songs to our dance community, with major success.
Danny, who lives in Guelph, Ontario, with his wife and daughter, emerged as a new star in contemporary Gospel music in the mid 1980's. He's a very hard working, and considerate human being who puts his own life experiences into musical form, and what a job he does.
His new song, "Ain't That The Truth" reached number 1 on our top ten songs for the month of December, and I think it will hold that position for a while. His new album
"No Easy Way Out" recorded in Gadsden, Alabama, on the Rockin' Camel Records lable, features other songs that caught my ear. "Memphis, Tennessee" is a rocker, while "All God's Children", and the Title song "No Easy Way Out" would be easy swing songs. If you don't have it yet, go to our web site and click on new releases, and it will take you to the record company, where you can add it to your collection.
