This month, during Black History Month, we have lost three prominent African American women in the arts and entertainment world:
Paula Kelly who was an American actress, singer, and dancer in films, television and theatre. Kelly made her Broadway debut in the 1964 musical Something More!,. Her other Broadway credits included The Dozens (1969), Paul Sills' Story Theatre (1971), Ovid's Metamorphoses (1971), and Sophisticated Ladies (1981), based on the music of Duke Ellington.Kelly's film credits include the Bob Fosse-directed film Sweet Charity; Soylent Green; The Spook Who Sat by the Door; The Andromeda Strain; Uptown Saturday Night; Lost in the Stars, Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling; Drop Squad; and Once Upon a Time...When We Were Colored.
Kelly had a recurring role on the first season of the sitcom Night Court, for which she received an Emmy Award nomination. Kelly also guest-starred in a variety of television movies and sitcoms, including Sanford and Son, Kojak, Police Woman, Golden Girls, Good Times, Any Day Now and in the TV mini-series The Women of Brewster Place (based on the 1982 novel of the same name by Gloria Naylor), in which she portrayed one half of a lesbian couple (with Lonette McKee) struggling against homophobia in an inner-city ghetto. She was nominated for a second Emmy for her role in The Women of Brewster Place.

Scott was regular cast member in the short-lived ABC sitcom The Geena Davis Show (2000-2001) playing Geena Davis' housekeeper, Gladys. She also had the recurring roles on City Guys (1998-2001), short-lived The Help (2004) as Doris, and Hart of Dixie (2011-2015) .

She died Feb 14 at the age of 66.
Ja'Net Du Bois was an Emmy Award winning American actress, singer–songwriter and dancer. DuBois was best known for her portrayal of Willona Woods, on the sitcom Good Times, which originally aired from 1974 to 1979. DuBois additionally co–wrote and sang the theme song "Movin' on Up" for The Jeffersons. She co-starred in the films I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), and on television in Moesha, The Steve Harvey Show, A Different World, and The Wayans Bros..
During the 1980s, DuBois operated the Ja'net DuBois Academy of Theater Arts and Sciences, a performing-arts school for teenagers in Long Island, New York. In 1992, DuBois, Danny Glover and Ayuko Babu co-founded the Pan African Film & Arts Festival in Los Angeles. ]She won two Emmy Awards for her voiceover work on the animated program The PJs (1999). DuBois with the cast of Good Times received The Impact Icon Award at the 2006 TV Land Awards.
She died Feb 17 at the age of 74.
On a personal note, I had a chance to "worship" with Ja'Net DuBois. Back in 2006, a friend invited me to his church City of Refuge in Los Angeles where Bishop Noel Jones was (and still is) the pastor. I was in the "VIP' section of the megachuch and to my my far left , I saw Dubois sitting in one of the pues (along with Stevie Wonder and Tavsi Smiley). I didnt actually meet her but I did see her and I said, "Thats Willona!" LOL.

We are debuting a new segment this week where we ask are viewers their opinion about singers who have sang a a particular song.
This week in tribute to JaNet Dubois' passing, as you may know she cowrote and sang the theme song to The Jeffersons ("Movin On Up"). It has become a TV theme classic. However, there have been other black female actresses who have sang theme songs of their own shows or different shows.
Our question is which one of these Black Female Actresses sang a TV Theme song the best:
Janet Dubois "Movin On Up" from "The Jeffersons"
Nell Carter, "Gimme A Break"
OR
Marla Gibbs "Theres No Place Like Home" from "227."

I was inquiring about a certain thing that I noticed at the gym. People who war the same gym attire every time that they work out. As a gym rat myself, I make it my duty to wear different gym clothing and wash them weekly. I always wondered about people who come to the gym and they wear the same gym wear each and every time they attend the gym. Now, mind you, when you workout, sweat and bacteria grows on clothing and when you dont launder them the germs grow and ferment (YUCK).
Now my thing is, if they wear the same gym clothing consistently it assumed also that they wear the same underwear as well (at least more than once) and work on a workout bench without cleaning it afterwards. If you wear the same attire, hygiene seems to be not an issue as well.
I'm Just Sayin. LOL.
