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.

by Dwight L. Quinn
10/10/2013

"Blues This Morning" is a 2009 song by the Kansas City rocker singer/songwriter/musician
James Gilbert.
It was written by K-City Records owner and Producer Eugene Smiley,Sr.,and was first
released on Big Woody's, Going Home cd and recently released on the Quinn Records TM's
2012 popular 2-CD Box Set album Go Slow Blues Crossing. The album is a concept album
chronicling the typical style,side and sound of Blues "Blues This Morning" featured on the third track, which is titled "Blues This Morning."
It is one of two songs written by Eugene Smiley,Sr. on Go Slow-Blues Crossing, with the other being "A Real Good Sign." The song (by Special Guest Carl Marshall, titled" I Got The Blues Trying To Find Love") get a group of musician together taking turns in telling about their personal experience of how they got blues while trying to find love on a pleasant, sunny morning, while the chorus and bridge suggest wistful nostalgia from the inquisitive Carl Marshall the narrator:

"My baby left me this morning, And I just couldn’t understand
Ask her why she’s leaving, She said she’s found another man"

"Blues This Morning" was one of James Gilbert's first compositions for the Moody Blues.
It was also the second Moody Blues recording to feature him on lead vocals, the first song
being the cover of "Rainy Night In Georgia", from Keep On Keeping On. The album would
later go on to include some highly successful songs for the Moody Blues, such as "Oh Baby
You Don't Have To Go" (LiL Aaron Mosby), "Send Me Someone To Love" (Mississippi Red),
and "Last Night" (LiL Aaron Mosby).
"Blues This Morning" was later released in 2013 as the second track on the Quinn Records TM
CD/SP single "Keep On Keeping On".
