(RE-HATCHING THE PAST) LARRY MOODY MAKING BIG BUZZ WITH SONG ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA

by Dwight L. Quinn
(10/14/2013

Rapper-songwriter Larry Moody is creating buzz for himself and even getting
recognition from President Obama for this song, "Repect Before You Ellect,"
Moody spoke with rolling out about his positive music and upcoming porjects.
-iesha danial





How did"Respect Before You Elect" come about?
My cousin ccame to me and said, Larry, you know we're going to have a
chance to have our first black president. I think we should do a song to
get out here and help the world. What do you think about " Respect Before
You Elect? And I said, it sounds good. And I wrote the whole song. Once
Obama became the President, I said, "Wow, now it's time to do another
song. So that's how I came up with "Respect and Protect: Obama's the
President".

How did it feel to be recognized by President Obama?
That was truly a blessing. That was one of the greatest things of my life,
when his staff got a chance to view my songs and listen to it before the
President got it.

What advice would you give to someone interested in pursuing a career
in the music industry?
When you know you have talent and you know that you've creative, you
just have to keep going. You can't worry about whether you're going to
blow up or you're going to make millions of dollars. It's gift that you have
and you have to keep going.

What's next for you?
Right now I have a record label that's looking at my stuff. I'm in the process
of doing a jingle for the Cardinals. I'm working on a fundraiser in St. Louis
and I'm going to put that together to help the homeless and underprivileged
people. I can truly say, no matter how big I get or how famous, I still want
to help other people.

JAMES E. GILBERT OUT IN THE OPEN, BLUES N' SOUL MUSIC'S BEST KEPT SECRET!

By Dwight L. Quinn

 The Biography 

James Gilbert has been delighting audiences all over the world for nearly four decades. A James Gilbert & Legacy show promises to take you on a journey of an era when music was MUSIC!! James Gilbert is a man with a missionto get you to listen to what you've been missin.

 James Gilbert starting his singing career in 1974 performing in his grammar school talent show, James been a singing my whole life. James says that his vocal ability is a family trait, as his Mom & Dad both love to sing. James is a self thought musician, learning lead guitar, bass & drums and to avoid trouble as a teenager. Blues music was a staple in our household in his early years as I studied the mechanics of the Blues, which played out when he was 17, as he was fortunate enough to share the stage with Blues Legend John Lee Hooker. From then on performing has been James Gilbert's way of life.

After bouncing around the country as a member of a Top40 Rock and RnB band in the early 1980's, James decided to return home to expand on his own versatility. So he joined a local musicians union singing radio jingles, of which his first assignment was vocalist for the Missouri Lotteries New Pick-3 campaign in 1992. That same year, his new band got noticed and was selected to perform as actors for the Toyota Corporations Big Spring Sale TV commercial. Although falling in love with the art of voiceovers, performing continued to hold James heart hostage, so he put doing voiceovers on the back burner and continued to pursue his musical career. In nearly four decades of performing, James played with and opened for such superstars as B.B King, KoKo Taylor, Johnny Winter and War.

 In 2006 James released his first solo CD project entitled Best Kept Secret, where he had the #1 song for two weeks on Southern Soul radio and received rave reviews in both the US and Europe. In September 2012, James Gilbert was signed to the roster of Quinn Records TM, where his talents as a recording artist as well as company official spokesperson continues to attract attention from all over the world.
