Hello My Sisters and Brothers, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Well here we are into a new year with new hopes and dreams. In many instances it's time for a fresh start. I hope that this year all of you guys will be able to accomplish some of the things that are important and dear to you. In this quest it's always important to remember that most people in this world don't have a third of what you have. So it's also good to remember how much there is to be thankful for. After a long ten year hiatus, it's looking like we are going to be back with the Budweiser Jazz this year. We're very excited about being back with this festival that in the eighties helped shape who we are today. Some of the packages back then were outstanding. I mean packed with talent like "Maze, Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle and Third World". I'm not sure who is on this year's lineup but I will post it on our tour page as soon as I know. We recently had a great show at the Nokia live in Los Angeles. Our special guest was Gladys Knight. Wow, what a class act she is and she's still bringing it big time. The audience was fantastic and really into the music. It blew my mind how many people there were seeing us for the first time. I was surprised to see so many young people up dancing and singing the lyrics to all the songs. It's quite amazing to me. Thank you guys for a wonderful night of love and music. Well I guess that's it for now. I'll be back in a few weeks with an update on the upcoming tour. In the meantime stay well and be strong. Be blessed, Frankie B PS: One of our Angeles (Patricia) wrote this prolific piece that I'd like to share with you all. "In light of the death of Don Cornelius, It's always great to keep in mind, that we never know what another person is going through. People mask themselves so well, Only to get home, face reality, and then cry all night! If I can help just one person along the way, whether it be big or small, then I've loved, just as Jesus loves us!"
