A Decent Picture Of One Of My Favorite Country Music Artists, Reba McEntire; From Circa The Late 1980’s-Early 1990’s.
If you’ve been following this Blog for a while; you know that my heart and my soul both live in the 1970’s, 1980’s, and the early 1990’s. Reba’s Albums that she had released during the 1970’s, 1980’s, and the early 1990’s are my favorite works of hers.
I thought she was full of herself when she had her hair cut short in 1998:

Not too long ago (as of the time of writing this post), I wrote a post about I Am Deeply Saddened Over The Recent Passing (As Of The Time Of Writing This Post) Of The 39th President Of The United States Of America, And A Distant Relative To The The Founder Of Motown Records, Berry Gordy Jr., The Rest Of The Gordy Family, And The Carter Family Of Country Music; James Earl Carter Jr. (Commonly Known As Jimmy Carter).
This time around, I am writing about how I was deeply touched by the eulogy delivered by a truly admirable individual, the 46th President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., at the funeral of another remarkable person, the 39th President of the United States; James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr. Overall, both men demonstrate a greater sense of decency in their morals and personal conduct compared to the Evil Donald Trump.
I was also touched by the performance by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood of John Lennon’s song from 1971 “Imagine” at Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
I find many parallels and incongruities to Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood of John Lennon’s song from 1971 “Imagine” at Jimmy Carter’s funeral, being that the Beatles and other Merseybeat Artists and Bands were influenced by the Rockabilly and Traditional Country Music of the likes of Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Wanda Jackson, and Brenda Lee; the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and other contemporaneous Music Artists and Bands were the preferred Music of the Flower Children of the Hippie Generation who wanted to rebel against the preferences and customs of their parents who were of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter’s generation; and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are both traditional Country Music Artists who thankfully and mercifully, are helping to keep Traditional Country Music alive and relevant in the present and well into the future.
I will make an attempt to explain how the founder of Motown Records, Berry Gordy Jr. and his family are related to Jimmy Carter:
Berry Gordy Jr.’s grandfather, Berry Gordy Sr., came from a lineage that included James Thomas Gordy, who was both a farmer and a slaveholder. J. Thomas Gordy had a son with an African-American woman he had enslaved, named Esther Johnson.
J. Thomas Gordy was the great-grandfather of Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter’s grandfather was J. Thomas Gordy’s son, James J. Gordy.
Berry Gordy Sr. had a very fair complexion, which gave him an appearance that could easily be mistaken for that of a white man. This was quite prevalent during his time, as he lived in an era not long after the days of enslavement and the onset of racial mixing.
“Children of the Plantation” refers to the offspring of enslaved Black women and white slaveholders or overseers, often born from circumstances of sexual exploitation. They were labelled as mulatto, yet the one drop rule ensured they could never fully belong to white society.
“Children of the Plantation” is a term that resonates with the experiences of James J. Gordy.This literary piece consisting of Presidential Papers of Jimmy Carter’s presidency from 1977 explains how Jimmy Carter is related to the Carter family of Country Music:

Some time ago, I wrote a post about how I Am Very Saddened Over The Former President Of The United States Of America, James Earl Carter Jr. (commonly known as Jimmy Carter) Receiving Hospice Care, And Nearing The End Of His Natural Life.
This time around, I am writing about how I am deeply saddened over the recent passing (as of the time of writing this post) of the 39th President Of The United States Of America, and a Distant Relative to the founder of Motown Records, Berry Gordy Jr. and the rest of the Gordy Family; James Earl Carter Jr. (commonly known as Jimmy Carter).
Jimmy Carter and the Gordy family share a distant kinship with the Carter family of Country Music, who were among the pioneering Country Music Artists to be commercially recorded on Music Albums during the early 20th Century. Notably, some members of this lineage married into the Cash family, associated with the renowned Johnny and Rosanne Cash.
Even late in his life, as he aged, Jimmy Carter continued to build homes for Habitat for Humanity and lead philanthropic and charitable initiatives, while the evil Donald Trump remained a contemptible and immoral figure who prioritized himself, his family, and his associates over the American people and the global community.

Some time ago, I wrote a post about a Television Commercial for WPOC-FM that was filmed, and had aired on Television Stations in the Baltimore market in 1992l when it was still owned and operated by the Broadcasting Division of Nationwide Insurance, with Laurie DeYoung and one of my personal favorite Country Music Artists, Reba McEntire: Television Commercial For Country-Formatted FM Radio Station In Baltimore, Maryland WPOC-FM (Nee WFMM-FM) From 1992, Featuring One Of My Favorite Country Music Artists Reba McEntire.
I am disheartened to report that as of the time of writing this post, that Laurie DeYoung has recently been let go by WPOC-FM; now owned and operated by the domineering Clear Channel Communications/IHeart Media.
