#DonnieSimpson began his career at age 15 as a DJ on #Detroit's #RhythmAndBlues powerhouse #WJLB. He was the first to put #EltonJohn's "Bennie and the Jets" in regular rotation as an album cut and we all know what happened next. And that was just the beginning. What a career! 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #SoulMusic #VideoSoul #Funk #Radio #Broadcasting #BlackEntertainmentTelevision #BET https://michiganchronicle.com/iconic-broadcaster-donnie-simpson-headlines-dabos-community-empowerment-speaker-series-on-june-26th/

#TBT Early 1980s. #MTV rarely played black artists, #BlackEntertainmentTelevision was just getting it's legs, so R&B music videos were usually low-budget and got limited exposure on locally-produced TV shows like #TheScene on #Detroit's #WGPR. We'd tape 'em on VHS and make copies and pass 'em around at school. This is what they looked like. Fer real! 🎵 🎶 📺 👍 😁 #SnoopDogg #SensualSeduction #Music #HipHop #RetroSoul
