For those of you who don't know: Melissa McGhee one of my TOP Idol favorites EVER. I don't care how often Simon shrugs off the remarks, but lack of camera time SEVERLY handicaps the contestants that make the Top 24. She did GREAT with her first song. But Simon complained. She did GREAT with this one. Again, Simon complained. He called her 'lifeless' and complained that she didn't 'make a connection' with the audience. Well that's because America hadn't seen her until last week! She even said herself: "This is actually my first time on the show" Most of America got so used to folks like Paris Bennett (for good reason) and Ayla Brown (...no comment), that to see anybody unfamiliar would feel unengaging. Heather Cox? Gone. Stevie Scott? Gone. Patrick Hall? Gone. Bobby Bennett? Gone. (Well, Bobby was just awful, so that one's not really their fault). To try and capture audiences and develop a fan base, when all you have is a 2 Minute song and a quick 'How Are Ya' from Ryan Seacrest, is WAY too much of a task. But, Melissa is so awesome, that OF COURSE she did the impossible. She survived the dreaded axe that cuts contestants out so early: Briana Ramirez-Rial, Melinda Lira, Jazmin Lowry, Judd Harris. (I bet most of you readers will remember nothing about these lost Idols). Being beautiful and having a great voice doesn't hurt either.

Recorded: Chicago, August 7, 1940 Brownie McGhee (vcl) (acc) (g), Jordan Webb (h) Walter Brown ("Brownie") McGhee (November 30, 1915 - February 16, 1996) was a folk-blues singer and guitarist, best known for his collaborations with the harmonica player Sonny Terry. He grew up in Kingsport, Tennessee and suffered from polio as a child, which incapacitated his leg. His brother Granville "Sticks" McGhee got his nickname from pushing young Brownie around in a cart. McGhee spent much of his youth immersed in music, singing with local harmony group the Golden Voices Gospel Quartet and teaching himself the guitar. A March of Dimes funded operation on his leg enabled McGhee to walk, enhancing his mobility. At the age of 22 he became a traveling musician, working in the Rabbit Foot Minstrels and meeting and befriending Blind Boy Fuller, whose guitar playing influenced him greatly. After Fuller's death in 1941, J. B. Long of Columbia Records had him adopt his mentor's name, branding him "Blind Boy Fuller No.2". By that time, McGhee was recording for Columbia's subsidiary Okeh Records in Chicago, Illinois, but his real success did not come until his 1942 relocation to New York City, when he officially teamed up with Sonny Terry, who he had known since 1939 as Blind Boy Fuller's harmonica player. The pairing was an overnight success, recording and touring together until around 1980. They did most of their work together from 1958 until 1980, spending eleven months of each year touring, and recording dozens of albums. Despite their fame as "pure" folk artists plying for White audiences, in the 1940s Terry and McGhee also attempted to be successful Black recording performers, fronting a jump blues combo with honking saxophone and/or rolling piano that was variously called Brownie McGhee and his Jook House Rockers or Sonny Terry and his Buckshot Five, often with Champion Jack Dupree and Big Chief Ellis. They also appeared in the original Broadway productions of Finian's Rainbow and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Laura McGhee performing "July" Live in New York at The Knitting Factory 07. Twenty five year old Laura, was brought up with Celtic roots background winning many traditional awards from age of 12. She graduated in classical violin from RSAMD. Laura then graduated to writing and developing her own unique folk roots sound. Along the way she arranged strings for artists such as Ian McCulloch (Echo And The Bunnymen), who recommended her for the Broadway production of Matt McGinn Tribute starring folk legend Pete Seeger. Laura then provided fiddle for Shane MacGowan (The Pogues) on his 2005 UK hit "Road To Paradise" and joined Shane on stage at the Glasgow Barrowlands for a rendition of his classic "Fairytale of New York. In between times Laura's download single "Hail Caledonia" charted in the UK download only charts. Laura has just released her debut album 'Green Eyes' in March 2006. www.myspace/lauramcghee www.lauramcghee.com www.roots2thefuture.com Sunday Times, 1st April Folk Chick lined up for US triumph A Scots singer and violinist is to be groomed for stardom by the Grammy Award-winning songwriter behind the country group the Dixie Chicks. Relatively unknown in Scotland, Laura McGhee, 25, has attracted a huge following in America, where she has played to sellout crowds. The Monifieth-born folk/rock artist has attracted the attention of Jim Lauderdale, who has penned some of the bestselling tracks by the Dixie Chicks, America's biggest selling female band. The trio from Texas has sold more than 30m albums. McGhee, who hopes to follow in the footsteps of the Scots singer-songwriter KT Tunstall by cracking the American music market, already counts the US tycoon Donald Trump, Alex Ferguson and the Irish music legend Shane MacGowan among her celebrity fans. McGhee accompanied Lauderdale during a folk showcase event in the American south earlier this year, and is due to record with him in Nashville, the home of American country music, later this year. "Jim really liked my music and was keen to work with me and do some co-writing" she said. "It is a real honour, as Jim is a huge figure in American music and he has written for the Dixie Chicks, who are enormous in the States, I am hoping to build up a large fan base and crack America, and I hope this will help me." McGhee added that she was inspired by Tunstall's success. "KT has done incredibly well and is a great example for Scots looking to break America." She said. "It is great that one of her songs was featured in the film "The Devil Wears Prada", and whenever you go into a coffee shop in America, KT seems to be on in the background." Lauderdale, who has worked with music stars including the English blues singer John Mayall and the country singer Patty Loveless, is convinced McGhee has the potential to become a huge star in America. "I first became aware of Laura after her manager gave me a CD of hers at the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow". He said "From that, I invited her to perform with me in Memphis, and we have taken things from there." Her debut album, Green Eyes, has already received widespread radio play and critical plaudits across the Atlantic. "I am getting a lot of support, particularly in the south and Tennessee, which is fantastic", she said. "There seems to be an affinity between traditional Scottish and American music, and audiences really seem to be picking up on that". One of McGhee's tracks has been included on a charity CD compiled by the American chat show host Montel Williams. "It is for people with multiple sclerosis", and I'm delighted to be part of its success", she said. The violinist is now looking forward to playing in New York during Tartan Week later this month, which will be her third consecutive performance at the event. Among the audience last year was Trump, who has invited McGhee to perform at the opening of his new golf complex in Aberdeenshire. "He said 'You're fantastic -- this is what I've been looking for' "she said "he liked the crossover of traditional music mixed with rockier beats" Later this year, she hopes to record with her fellow Scots violinist Nicola Benedetti. "What we do is completely different, but she is incredibly talented" said McGhee. "It would be great to work with her and do a duet, and I hope that will be happening in the near future, and we can get something definite organised". Despite her admiration for Benedetti, McGhee's biggest musical hero is the veteran country singer Dolly Parton. "Dolly is a great song-writer, but she doesn't take herself too seriously -- and neither do I. I would love to work with her one day. I think we both want to play music that makes people happy." she said.

Fredrick McGhee was Minnesota's first black lawyer. His good looks, articulate speech and winning record were irresistible to the mainstream press, and his popularity gave him the connections and money he needed to finance work in politics and activism. McGhee did both with great skill, becoming co-founder of the Niagara Movement, an important predecessor to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
