I'm Gail Nobles and
You're listening to Movies Unmade. Today's topic is "There Could Have Been a Bodyguard 2"

We've seen The Bodyguard
It is a 1992 Romantic thriller film directed by Mick Jackson, and Produced by Kevin Costner and Jim Wilson, and starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. The film was written by Lawrence Kasdan.

Now lets talk about the characters. Rachel, played by Whitney Houston, is an Academy Award -- nominated actress and music superstar who is being sent death threats by a stalker. Frank, played by Kevin Costner, was formally a secret service agent who protected Rachel.

It would have been nice to see a Bodyguard 2 film starring Whitney Houston & Keven Costner. What would have made a 2nd movie of it interesting is to see Rachel save Frank. It would have been fun to see Rachel shoot guns during a time when Frank could have been out numbered by several bad guys. They could have been a team.

In the Bodyguard movie, Rachel and Frank leaves each other in the end kissing goodbye. It would have been nice to see them in A Bodyguard 2 movie escaping together. The movie could have been a film with more action than the first. I would have loved to have seen Frank and Rachel together one more time starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

Whitney Houston left us with such a great memory. Thank you Kevin Costner for choosing her. I wish I could see you both just one more time .........

Good evening Whitney Houston fans and anyone else that may be listening. Something pointed out to me that the song "Greatest Love of All" was a very good song. I had heard it before from George Benson back in 1977, but when Whitney Houston sang it in the 80's, I didn't recognize the song because I heard George and his version of it maybe once or twice. By then, I had forgotten about it.

Whitney's first line singing the song was, I believe the children are our future. People, you've got to believe in your children. There was a woman in the Bible name Sherah who built 3 cities. You'll find that in 1 Chronicles chapter 7 verse 24. In our world today, people look at the gender a lot, but whether you are male or female, God will use you. the Bible lets us know who we are. Children grew up in the Bible and became great. They were not just born to be born.

The children are the future. Don't put them down. Encourage them. Whitney Houston singing The Greatest Love of All is something we ought to remember and keep in mind. You know Whitney became great herself, and she probably had other abilities that she didn't know she had. People ask you how did you do so and so. Just know that things come from God.

There has already been a movie made about Muhammad Ali. Will Smith played as him, but there was so much more to Muhammad Ali than boxing. I think a movie should be made about the political Ali and his religion.

Mr. Ali was influenced by the man he called the honorable Elijah Muhammad. Muhammad Ali spoke great things, and things that made a lot of sense regardless of his joking around in boxing. I think a movie should be made focusing on his great speeches and other things that he may have done that some of us may not know about. A movie should be made about Muhammad Ali Islam days with Malcom X and Elijah Muhammad.

It would be nice to see a Harlem Globetrotter's movie. How the Globetrotters got started would make an interesting beginning.

Abe Saperstein was the man that started the team. He grew up watching black boys play basketball in the streets of Chicago. Abe started a professional black basketball team. Black guys were not allowed to play on white teams in those days. In 1927, according to the Globetrotters's History, Abe took the team out on the road. There is meaning behind the name “Harlem Globetrotters”. Harlem lets you know that the team is black and the name “Globetrotters” was to make you think that they had traveled all over the world. If I am not mistaken, at first, the Globetrotters had not traveled all over the world. Maybe, Abe believed that they would, and he gave them that awesome name. The Harlem Globetrotters were not really from Harlem. I think the first five came from Chicago. At first, they only had five players. When the team traveled on the road, times were a bit tough. They did not have much money and they slept in the car. It was very cold. There was some racial discrimination, but as time went on, things got better for the Globetrotters. They are still famous today and traveling around the world. The story of the Harlem Globetrotters would make a great movie. I'm Gail Nobles. Your listening to Movies Unmade.

The Adventures of Superman was a television series starring George Reeves in 1952. I don't remember seeing Superman fighting against a lot of foes as strong as he was. I saw some of the episodes from the series in the 1970's. The television series was still great to watch though Superman didn't have foes with his strength.

There is one episode from the season 6 DVD that I thought would be a great remake for the big screen. The episode is titled, "The Last Knight". It is the TV episode from 1958 and in color. In this episode, Superman was flying wearing armor. He was dressed as a knight. Clark Kent did not appear to be worried about the secret society knights. They were the bad guys who were four rich men dressed as knights. I'm sure Clark Kent as Superman would have been worried to know that Lois Lane was captured by them in a remake. He would rescue her in a hurry. The story would probably be altogether different and maybe more fascinating. The story would be more exciting.

In the TV series, Lois Lane, Jimmy, and some of the knights were locked up in a dungeon with Superman dressed in his armor disguise. They were locked up by one knight that was a killer. And of course you know Superman won the battle.

Superman looked great in the 1950's as a flying knight. If Superman looked great in the 1950's as a flying knight, I'm sure the new Superman would too.

It was the year of 2012 when I created a blog. It was a blog about Whitney Houston. I named it Whitney Within. I didn't name it Whitney Within because of singing. I named it Whitney Within because of feeling. There were things inside of me that I felt. There was something guiding me along and letting me know that Whitney was really a decent person. I looked at her from the very beginning of her career. I feel the guide is a simple gift. Something tells me that Whitney did make some mistakes. Don't we all? Something also tells me that she was very powerful, and there was a lot of envying going on. I was told to look at what I saw. I feel that was the Spirit of God talking with me. I heard him say, "Don't worry about Whitney's death."

Many times I would listen to Whitney Houston sing. She could sing with a loud shout. Whitney would do the kind of things in singing that gospel singers do. One day I tried singing in that shouting voice incorrectly and discovered that Whitney's high note wasn't my high note. Somehow I felt Whitney Houston saying, "You have strength. Stay with you." To be honest, I don't feel the spirit of shouting when I sing. I feel something else. What God gave to Whitney Houston, God gave to Whitney Houston.

As I study the Bible, God talks with me about things like raising the dead. I don't know whether or not God intended for Whitney Houston to die. Right now, she's resting. I feel in God that it's only the beginning. Sometimes I feel a mystery.

St. John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:”

It feels like Whitney Houston never left. I'm Gail Nobles, and this is my story, "Whitney Within".

SOUL SISTER MUSIC
WHITNEY NIPPY HOUSTON
Something about her is still alive. She's in the music and the music in us. Back in Washington DC Live in 1997, I felt the closeness between Nippy, Monica, and Brandy. There were other close friends there too, but from Nippy, I felt a sister hood. Whitney Nippy Houston. She brought the music down with three vocalist in the background. Nippy was singing "Shoop", and folks from the audience joined. I wish I could of been there so she could hear me shoop. What would my words have been? ........

I'll never forget the movie Krush Groove in the year of 1985. In my opinion, it's still the best hip hop movie ever made with popular artists like Sheila E, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, and the Fat Boys. Krush Groove was a film based on the life of Russell Simmons portrayed by Blair Underwood. They used the name Russell Walker.

In the movie, Russell Walker signed all of the hottest acts to his Krush Groove record label, including Run DMC, Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and Kurtis Blow. Rick Rubin produced their records. Russell borrowed money from a street hustler when he didn't have the money to press records; when Run DMC had a hit record. Russell got into trouble because he didn't have the money to pay the hustler back. It was one thing to another, but in the end, things worked out.

Looking at the way the music industry is today and listening to all the stories about recording artists, record companies, and producers, I'm sure a Krush Groove 2 film could be made starring Sheila E, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, and the Fat Boys. A lot has happened in real life with them since 1985. Maybe they have some stories that they want to put together and tell for another movie. It would be nice to see all the artists that starred in the movie do something together again. We lost one or two of them. So I wouldn't expect the movie to be quite the same. If there could be a Krush Groove 2, that shouldn't stop the artists in the movie from coming back better than before. They have more experience, still talented, and much wiser now. I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. Today's topic is Krush Groove.

Podcast Intro by: Gail Nobles

Radio Man: Back in the day.....But now...
Listen to LL Cool J's Rock the Bells Radio! Sirius XM! Channel 43!

We have listened to LL Cool J as a hip hop artist. We've listened to his music, but now today, he's more than that in the radio world. LL is who I call the Radio Man. He's broadcasting to the OG's. You don't have to worry about hearing LL on FM or AM because now he's on SiriusXM. You can listen everywhere - in your car, at home, computer, smartphone, and tablet. So if you want that classic hip hop sound, you can hear it on LL Cool J's Rock the Bell's Radio on Sirius XM Channel 43. You can hear the history and culture of Hip Hop. You can hear from great artists. It's all inside the channel of the Radio Man.

So when you hear LL Cool J say, "It's on and poppin' baby."

He's not talking about that old radio dial. He's talking about the new and improved radio without the dial. You see, the dial can't be seen.

Radio Man: Trust me and what you hear!

No matter what, you can still hear those radio wave sounds from the voice of the Radio Man. LL Cool J is on XM. I'm Gail Nobles and that's all until next time......
