Used to sing with Ric James? 396 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: Not Teena Marie Tina Marie was started a Kashman really, 397 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: I think so yeah, he could say, I mean even 398 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: don't realize it. I mean when I first heard her, 399 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: I thought she was black, Yeah, of course, and she was. 400 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: And she's only like five to two and with a 401 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: voice of a seven foot tall woman that weighed four 402 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: hundred pounds, but she could just flat out blow blow 403 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: one of the greatest R and B singers. Unfortunately, I'm 404 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: afraid it is not gonna get his recognition because of 405 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: what transpired off the stage. No matter what you're thinking 406 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: about it. I I believe you can separate the two. 407 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: You can say you're appalled and grow and angered and 408 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: saddened by the things that he did off but there's 409 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: no denying that R. Kelly, the way he could sing 410 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: and the way he could write, that's nothing to debate. 411 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: Do you feel that he will get his proper recognition 412 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: ever because of what transpired or will he be forgotten? 413 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: And like you said, you said we separated the person. 414 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 2: We separated the man from the artist. We strictly talking 415 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: about art, Yes, we strictly talking about art. I believe 416 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: that when they talk about the art, that they'll talk 417 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: about R. Kelly because it's so many people in the 418 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: world that's done. There's so many other things, right, you know, 419 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: we totally against what the man did, right, But as 420 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: the artist, I believe that that they'll talk about him. 421 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 2: You know, he's a he's a he's a he's a 422 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: great with what he's done. Like I was just talking yesterday, 423 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: I believe I could fly. It's one of the greatest 424 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 2: songs in the world. Yeah, Like, you could play that 425 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: song at a graduation, you play it in church, you 426 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: play the Lady wedding, you could play it wherever you know, 427 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: and it's gonna inspire you.
