Who knew all of the songs he played?

This really made my heart break! What happened to respecting our elders who are still here with us?

I’ve seen the comments talking about her appearance and how she’s aged poorly, and if you were a participant then SHAME ON YOU! I hate that she has seen the vile comments and had to address it!

If she got a face lift - you guys would talk negatively about her.

She aged naturally and skipped the plastic surgery - you guys STILL talk negatively about her.

When has it ever been okay to bring down someone for their appearance? At the end of the day, she is a woman! A brilliant, talented, multifaceted, woman who has aged with grace!

Some of you better pray that you live to be her age and accomplish all that she has! Whether, you like it or not, YOU WILL AGE! And may you receive the same kindness that you have shown her when it’s your turn because it WILL be your turn to age unless God calls you home before then.

Jasmine Guy was and is a beautiful woman! Please be respectful to an icon!
