“Some Kind of Wonderful“, which was written by John Ellison and first recorded by his group, Soul Brothers Six, in 1967, was and continues to be one of my favorites. It only made it to number 91 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, but remains a classic today, as attested by some very young performers in Wednesday evening’s American Idol competition (scroll down the article a bit and click on video).
Here’s to love, love month, and love songs…three things of which I hope I never tire.
I graduated from the University of Georgia in 1972 with a major in journalism (public relations) and a minor in business (marketing). My experience for the last 40 years includes working in the corporate world (banking), the newspaper industry (advertising design and sales), owning and selling a restaurant, restoring and utilizing several old buildings on the property, teaching private dance and drama lessons for 20 years, free-lance writing for a national textile firm, publishing two children’s books, and ghost writing a book. My last tour of duty before beginning the current chapter was working as a reporter, photographer, and columnist for five weekly community newspapers.
And now I teach...media writing at Columbus State University in Columbus Ga. I consider myself very fortunate--I get to be around intelligent, energetic and enthusiastic young people. What a joy.
I believe the written word is one of the most powerful tools known to humankind. And now we have the ability to reach millions with a simple click of the mouse.
Wow.
