Happy 90th birthday to music icon Quincy Jones. He has worked with so many legends, helping to bring out their best.

Among my favorites is his work on the soundtrack for The Wiz. It was the first time he worked with Michael Jackson, before working with him on three records, including Thriller.

“You Can’t Win” from the soundtrack:

The Original Wiz on Broadway was none other than André De Shields but due to scheduling conflicts and the production wanting higher profile stars The Wiz was played by RIchard Pryor in the film

Ted Ross as The Cowardly Lion. He was in nearly every major Black broadway music in the late 60s-mid70s (Buck White (1969), Purlie (1970-1972), Raisin (1973) and The Wiz (1975)) and reprised his role in the 1978 film “The Wiz”

With a winter storm bristling, I return to this idea of the fortitude that springs forth in cool temperatures. Snow born goddesses can have African roots, too...they can abide in freezing cities that don’t shut down, stoking the icy glamor of the season’s beauty and requisite drive. Wherever you go, the goddess goes with you...shielding you from the cold and standing with you as you persist. Inspired by Lena Horne's Glenda in
