@AugustEve2012 Finally! Was hoping you or TYT or someone woke to report on this! No need for me to as I'm still a victim of that dreaded algorithm. The mad part is this same mentality that would SHOOT a PREGNANT BLACK woman in the back, want to outlaw abortion. The evil irony.
@ThatEricAlper Many come to mind, but I'd go w/ Whitney Houston's debut album for its sheer vocal greatness. And for containing a singular voice we've lost to the ages.
