Tricia Barnwell) 9. Piano Musical Melodies Daddy B. Nice notes: LGB is the female Luther Lackey, a musical genius way out in some constellation all her own. Her most well-produced album yet, OUR LOVE SLIPPED AWAY also features some of LGB's strongest vocals, many country-inflected and further lending to her idiosyncratic style. On a more personal note, I was saddened to see LGB has eliminated the few YouTube videos of her music that existed on the popular music channel. Scroll down to "Tidbits" to see some of the videos taken down. I also featured a link to the YouTube video of the infectious "Jealous Wo-man, Yes I Am" at the top of her Guide (this page). It too is removed. To limit one's YouTube presence (and free distribution of music) is an artist's prerogative, but to have no YouTube presence whatsoever in this day and age is a huge impediment to a successful career. YouTube is today's universal "radio".

It's been a while since we've talked & I hope all is well with you. This morning I sent you my latest new single rendition, covering "Tore Up From The Floor Up" for your listening pleasure. Of course, if you didn't get it, please let me know and I will gladly resent it to you. As always, I thank you so very much for all you do for the music & the recording artists, too!!!  Of course, as I was going thru some old emails, I came across the Marvin Sease's grave marker episode, which turned out okay, in the end. Also just hearing from you brought about a sense of peace in my heart about the entire effort.
But, I do want you to know on Father's Day, June 18. 2017...I received a FaceBook text from Marvin Sease's youngest son, Matthew Sease. Below I have provided the actual comments that took place on that Sunday afternoon. I also called Matthew Sease to ensure the Sease family members got to Marvin Sease's grave. The bottom line here is...I know in my heart that we did the right thing back in 2015 and in 2017 some of Marvin Sease family members acknowledged that they, too, love Marvin Sease grave marker!!! -------------------------------------------------  June 18, 2017/3:55 PM/Matthew Sease wrote:

Nice....Thank You For All You Do...!!! "LGB" Linda Gray Barnwell Daddy B. Nice notes: Years ago, LGB discovered and was disturbed by the fact that the legendary southern soul singer, Marvin Sease--born in South Carolina near her hometown of Barnwell--was buried in an unmarked grave. She undertook a fund-raising effort and purchased the grave marker, but decided not to go ahead with the scheduled dedication due to the opposition of the Marvin Sease family at that time. That the years have soothed wounds all around is a surprising turn of events and the happiest of news for everyone who loved and respected Marvin. See Daddy B. Nice's Artist Guide to Marvin Sease.
March 1, 2014 (from Daddy B. Nice's CD Reviews): Daddy B. Nice's Profile of LGB:
LGB is no musical prodigy. Endowed with limited range and scant power, she has nevertheless achieved the clarity of self and inner peace to embrace what she acknowledges as her "raspy soul voice." Armed with nothing but her self-assurance and dogged determination, the product of Allendale, South Carolina has gradually fashioned a musical technique and a recording personality custom-tailored to her unique strength: an intrepid, Alice-in-Wonderland-like freshness. In LGB's world anything seems possible musically, and even probable. Thus you have LGB's 2010 debut, the rather cryptic and pseudo-intellectual"Reality Slowly Walks Us Down". What to make of it other than enjoy the subtle blend of melody and harmonies? And although "Reality's" smoke-and-mirrors didn't seem likely to be repeated, LGB followed it up in 2011 with the even farther-out-of-left-field "Jealous Wo-Man, Yes I Am," which soon became her signature single. This wasn't your traditional Southern Soul (what is these days?), unless you're fortunate enough to remember the path-less-taken southern soul of Frank Mendenhall and some of that legendary singer's exotic, off-the-wall mini-masterpieces. Three years after its initial release, "Jealous Wo-Man" at last finds a home in LGB's second full-length CD I Am Who I Am. The collection boasts two new songs that have already charted on Daddy B. Nice's Top Ten "Breaking" Southern Soul Singles Chart (for January & February 2014), "You Don't Miss Your Water" (a tribute to William Bell) co-sung with Bishopville, South Carolina's Drink Small (and done twice), and "Country Woman," the most fully-accomplished new song and likely new single, performed in both southern soul and zydeco versions. "Jody's Baby Girl" builds off an old Sam & Dave guitar riff ("I'm A Soul Man") but in typical LGB fashion avoids the crescendos and climaxes of the classic for a more subtle groove. The two other most affecting--if peculiar--selections are the old standard "The Yellow Rose Of Texas" and an intriguing grafting of gospel and back-country folk called "Like A Tree In Water" ("I Will Not Be Removed"). --Daddy B. Nice About LGB LGB lives in Warner Robins, Georgia, but she was born and raised in Allendale, SC.

Last night I read your comments… and yes, all that you wrote is so correct…”YouTube” and social media are most definitely a way of life for a recording artist and is very much essential for survivor. Thank You for the “reality check” and I am working to get the situation under better control as quickly as possible. The elimination of the YouTube videos of my music that existed on the popular music channel took place that you posted were removed/taken down kind of beyond my control by the person who originally posted it on YouTube, which was not me. Of course, that is no excuse because it is still solely my responsibility to ensure my fans and my extraordinary supporters can have accessibility and know where by music is located at all time. I have 17 YouTube videos available on YouTube that can be seen, but I am working to do a better job at making sure they are all located in a certain location and make it known to all that website address. As always, I once again, humbly “Thank You” so very much for sharing light on how important it is to stay in the (fast lane of today’s life)…and thank you so very much for calling this to my attention; we will make it our top priority to always be on and stay on top. In your personal note…which you are totally right on the “spot” and that is why you are our awesome “DADDY B NICE”…because you always tell it like it suppose to be told. Below are the 2 of the 17 YouTube videos that are available on YouTube, but I apologize and please forgive me for not keeping you in the loop when I added those sites: Listen to LGB singing "Reality Slowly Walks Us Down" on YouTube. Listen to LGB singing "Jealous Wo-Man, Yes I Am" on YouTube. Also, all of my 17 videos are located on this website: Listen to LGB'S top tracks on YouTube. Of course, I don’t have my new CD “Our Love Slipped Away” on YouTube yet, but will assure you…I am working as I speak to get that done as quickly as possible. Daddy B. Nice…please always know that there are the great ones such as “YOURSELF- Daddy B Nice” and some other great ones who comes a long and throws out a “life jacket”, which I will always be so grateful because with you guys…there would be no LGB!!! I personally ….Thank….God all through the day for the beacon lights that he has allowed & allows to guide me and the others recording artists to share!!! Thank You “DADDY B NICE”…for all you do for others, the music and the recording artists, too!!! Very Respectfully…. LGB See Daddy B. Nice's Artist Guide to LGB. *********** December 28, 2017: LGB has updated her YouTube song links, as per Daddy B. Nice's suggestion below. See her letter in Daddy B. Nice's Mailbag.
