Chattanooga's Famed Tivoli Theater

(Chattanooga, TN.)---She's a "boss chick" with 3 Grammys; 16 years under her belt and a national tour that's stronger than ever! Music fans are still "basking in the afterglow" following Jill Scott's high energy performance at Chattanooga's famed Tivoli Theater recently.

The Scenic City is part of the final leg of the singer/songwriter's 2016 Summer Concert Series.
Jill is scheduled for performances in Jacksonville and Miami at the end of August. From there, she's off to headline The 2016 Tom Joyner Morning Show Family Reunion Labor Day Weekend in Kissimmee, FL.

"Jilly from Philly" appears to be in a good place these days, paying tribute to her new husband with a new song entitled "Jahraymecofasola." Scott says the new single is her gift to her new husband Michael Dobson. The couple was married in June.

Scott also told fans how she never thought she would ever have more children, that after a difficult pregnancy with her only biological son Jett.  "In June, God saw fit to bless me with six more children," she said affectionately.  My husband and I are so lucky to embrace our new life and truly live every single day in the moment!

Here's hoping the FAMILY REUNION brings on a "NEW BEGINNING" for Jill Scott as she embraces her new life and extended family.

PRESS PLAY and TAKE "ANOTHER LOOK" at why Jill Scott is truly all about living her life like it's "GOLDEN!"

Congratulations again Jill.  If your strong vocals, stamina, and electric smile are any indication,  you'll be celebrating 20-plus years in the business in no time.

George E. Curry 1947-2016

(Washington, D.C.)--Walton and Associates mourns the death of famed columnist George Curry. Curry, who died Saturday of an apparent heart attack will be laid to rest in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Civil Rights leader and activist Rev. Al Sharpton is expected to deliver the eulogy at The Weeping Mary Baptist Church Saturday, August 27, 2016. For decades, Curry was one of the most powerful voices on issues confronting black Americans. 

Last year, Walton and Associates CEO, Varion Walton had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Curry briefly during the 50th Anniversary of the March from Selma to Montgomery. For years, Curry had one of the most successful columns in more than 200 newspapers across the country.

According to The National Association of Black Journalists, at the time of his death, George Curry was in the process of revitalizing Emerge Magazine.

He was still fighting to revive that magazine until his last moment on earth," said TV- ONE host Roland S. Martin, a friend, colleague, and fellow columnist. "George Curry died with his boots on, still fighting."

In 2003, Curry was named the NABJ Journalist of the Year for his continued commitment of influencing the NEXT generation of digital journalists.
