"Let's not forget about the music that has paved our way, such as Duke Ellington, Bo Diddley, The Orioles, Charlie Byrd, Stanley Turrentine, Sweet Honey In The Rock, Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, Stacy Lattisaw, The Ambassadors, Simba, The Soul Searchers, Trouble Funk, Rare Essence, Experience Unlimited, Fate’s Destiny, The Stratocasters, as well as others.

     "Go-Go is a music that has been contrived from all of the above. Therefore, it’s more than just music -- a lot more. It's part of a culture. That’s why it’s so spiritual. There is no other music like it on earth.

     "...the overall scope shows an industry that has provided fulfillment of dreams to not only entertain in front of a live audience, but become local icons like no other music in history.  It has served as one of the few music industries to take average "Joes" out of the projects and gleam on him a light so bright that where ever he goes in the community, he is not only known, but respected.  Whereas society labeled a person "no hope," Go-Go has planted seeds of hope in that individual.

     "Basically, let me just say that the Go-Go Community is an essential part of my life, and I am blessed to have been/be a part of it. That’s the purpose of TMOTTGoGo -- to educate, uplift and promote our culture with the [positivity] that it deserves."
