Fabian - Turn Me Loose
Born on February 6, 1943 to Josephine and Domenic Forte, Fabian Forte was actually discovered at the age of 14 sitting on his front steps in Philadelphia. Fabian was actually watching his father being taken away in an ambulance when someone approached him about getting into the record business. His father couldn't work any longer and being that Fabian was the oldest of three brothers, he took a chance at making some money in the music business to help his family out. He never thought of it as a career, only as a way of stepping in for his father at that time. And, before you knew it, soon thousands were to throng to his concerts. At 15, Fabian won the Silver Award as The Promising Male Vocalist of 1958. By the time he was 18, he had recorded dozens of hit singles, eight albums and earned gold records for Turn Me Loose and Tiger and a gold album for The Fabulous Fabian.
In his latest endeavor, Fabian hosts and headlines in the hit show, The Original Stars of Bandstand at the newest theater to hit Branson, Missouri, The Dick Clark Theater. His 1st appearance on American Bandstand (1952) when it all began was June 19, 1958 and he appeared over 20 times and filled in as host for Dick Clark on dozens of Caravan of Stars Tours. The Original Stars of Bandstand re-creates those days gone by and, as Fabian says, It is a like a reunion when I can get re-acquainted with all of my friends again. The show stars Bobby Vee and features The Chiffons, Brian Hyland, Chris Montez and rare footage of the performers and Dick Clark.
Fabian also performs with two of his Philadelphia buddies, Frankie Avalon and Bobby Rydell as The Golden Boys in one of the longest running shows of its kind, today. In their 20th year together, they have appeared in every major city in the United States and around the world and have played to packed venues in Atlantic City and Las Vegas and have starred in such television specials as The American Music Awards, Miss Teenage America, and Command Performance: An All Star Salute To The President. The Philadelphia Music Alliance honored Fabian in 2000, with a star on their Walk of Fame and Fabian visits the city any chance he gets to enjoy the best cheese steaks anywhere!
As an actor, Fabian makes frequent television and feature film appearances. Some of his most memorable television roles have been his guest appearances on Laverne & Shirley (1970)_, _Facts of Life (1970)_, Blossom (1991) & Murphy Brown (1988). Fabian has enjoyed a successful commercial career representing products such as Pepsi, Denny's & Nutri System to name just a few and lends his distinctive voice to radio and voice-overs for commercials and television projects. Fabian recently hosted a PBS Special, titled At The Drive-In which became his second special for PBS. In front of 85,000 fans in Baton Rouge, Lousiana, Fabian's GoodTime Rock 'n Roll Show, featuring the great rock acts from the 50s & 60s, was the first concert produced for pay-per-view-television and PBS. Fabian was the host, performer and producer of this concert special. Fabian is also an Emmy-nominated producer for his work on the highly acclaimed documentary series The Wild West (1993).
Fabian's early films rocketed him to stardom in the acting arena and his screen debut in 1959 came with the film, Hound-Dog Man (1959), directed by Don Siegel and he traveled internationally for the films Five Weeks in a Balloon (1962) and The Longest Day (1962). He worked with two of our great screen giants in North to Alaska (1960) with John Wayne and High Time (1960) with Bing Crosby. Fabian was fortunate to have worked with the incomparable and gracious James Stewart in two films in his career, Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation (1962) & Dear Brigitte (1965) and he learned to surf with Tab Hunter in the cult classic, Ride the Wild Surf (1964). He was even interviewed by Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1996, Jon Avnet-directed film, Up Close & Personal (1996).
An overnight singing sensation, a film star with over 30 films to his credit, and the producer of his own concert series, Fabian continues to expand his ever-growing career. This pop music and motion picture icon, received one of show business' highest honors when he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 8, 2002. Fabians' 40+ years performing for his loyal fans at packed concerts, stadiums, casinos, festivals and theater productions garnered him the 2188th star and Fabian honored his fans by dedicating his star to them on this memorable day.

THE WORST GHETTO: North St. Louis, Missouri
I have been to many ghettos in the United States, such as Detroit, Baltimore, Flint, Los Angeles, ect. None were as bad as when I went to St. Louis' Northside. These pictures are not just of one part of North St. Louis.. all of it is this bad. There is no good part, no safe zones.
It's no wonder St. Louis has always been ranked the #1 most dangerous city in the United States, or have come in the top 3. The only place I've been to equivalent to North St. Louis was East St. Louis, Illinois. When I was in Detroit I felt safer than in North St. Louis.
Urban decay at its best. Welcome to THE HOOD.

Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest [Explicit] --R.I.P. Prodigy--
Rest In Peace Prodigy (Albert Johnson) [ November 2, 1974 – June 20, 2017 ]. In an interview with Vibe in November 2000, Prodigy spoke about what inspired him to directly address his battle with sickle-cell anemia on the song You Can Never Feel My Pain from his debut studio album H.N.I.C. He attributes his nihilism to the permanent physical suffering caused by his lifelong battle with the condition.[
Tupac, Ja Rule–a whole bunch of people talk about pain. And Tupac, he even said some shit about my sickle-cell [on his song Hit 'Em Up], so that inspired me to make a real song to show niggas what pain is.
—Prodigy, Vibe magazine, November 2000.
On June 20, 2017, it was reported that Prodigy died in Las Vegas, Nevada after having been hospitalized a few days earlier for complications related to his sickle-cell anemia. He was performing in the Art of Rap Tour in Las Vegas with Havoc, Ghostface Killah, Onyx, KRS-One and Ice-T when he was hospitalized. The exact cause of his death is yet to be determined.
Mobb Deep was an American hip hop duo from the Queensbridge Houses in New York City. The group consisted of Havoc and Prodigy and was one of the most critically acclaimed hardcore East Coast Hip-Hop groups. They were known for their dark, hardcore delivery as exemplified in Shook Ones (Part II). Mobb Deep became one of the most successful rap duos in hip hop, having sold over three million records. Mobb Deep's net worth was estimated at $10 million USD. Prodigy passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada. He sucummbed to his long battle with sickle cell anemia.
Two of their albums have been critical successes; The Infamous (1995) and Hell on Earth (1996). The group briefly disbanded in 2012 but later reunited.
In 1992, before Mobb Deep was officially established, Havoc and Prodigy originally went by Poetical Prophets and released their first demo titled Flavor for the Nonbelievers which was promoted through the Unsigned Hype column of The Source magazine. In 1993, Havoc and Prodigy, released their debut album, Juvenile Hell, which was promoted by the single Peer Pressure. Also that year, Havoc made a guest appearance on the Black Moon album Enta Da Stage on a song titled U Da Man. In 1994 the duo released a single titled Shook Ones Part 1.
The group saw its first major success with their second album, The Infamous, released in 1995. Mobb Deep catapulted to the top of the hardcore hip-hop scene through Havoc and Prodigy's straightforward narration of street life. In this album, Mobb Deep portrayed the struggles of living in New York City's Queensbridge Houses where Havoc grew up. Following the release of The Infamous, Mobb Deep became some of the most prolific artists of the East Coast. The production of this album was very dark and sample-based thanks to Havoc, who produced the beats from this point forward.[9] Furthermore, the hit single Shook Ones Pt. II, a remix to the hit Shook Ones, received critical acclaim.
Mobb Deep's third album, Hell on Earth was released in 1996 debuting at number six on the Billboard Album Chart; the album continued the duo's portrayal of harsh street life while further pushing them to the forefront of Hip Hop scene along with contemporary East Coast Rappers like The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan, Big L and fellow Queensbridge rapper Nas. Nas as well as Method Man and Raekwon of the Wu Tang Clan appear on 'Hell on Earth'.
In 1996, they appeared on the Red Hot Organization's compilation CD, America is Dying Slowly alongside Biz Markie, Wu-Tang Clan and Fat Joe among many other prominent Hip Hop artists. This compilation was solely meant to raise awareness of the AIDS epidemic among African American men and this compilation was heralded as a masterpiece by The Source Magazine, a Hip Hop publication. 1997 Mobb Deep was featured on Frankie Cutlass Politics & Bullsh*t album track title Know Da Game which also features Kool G Rap. In 1998, the duo collaborated with reggae dancehall artist Bounty Killer on the track Deadly Zone for the soundtrack to Blade. In 1999, they released the highly anticipated Murda Muzik album which, despite extensive bootlegging, had the majority of its songs unintentionally leaked. This resulted in delays in the official album release. When the album was officially released, it eventually debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and quickly received Platinum Certification and was further promoted by the popular single Quiet Storm. Shortly afterward, Prodigy released his long-awaited solo album H.N.I.C in which he collaborated with fellow artists like (B.G., N.O.R.E.) and producers (including The Alchemist, Rockwilder and Just Blaze).
