| JM Barrie's Peter Pan |
 |
Sir JM Barrie is my favorite author EVER. I
love everything he wrote, especially The
Little White Bird, Dear Brutus, and Mary
Rose. But I feel that many movies (especially
the animated Disney film) have made a
complete MESS out of Barrie's greatest work,
that terrible masterpiece, Peter Pan.
So, although what you see in this video comes
from the 2003 film with Jeremy Sumpter as
Peter and Rachel Hurd-Wood as Wendy, what you
HEAR comes from the late great JM Barrie
himself, excerpts from his prose novel Peter
Pan (originally publised as Peter and Wendy
in 1911).

Street Hospital. No copyright infringement is
intended, ever.

1985 Old School Chicago House
STEVE "SILK" HURLEY Truly a man of all
musical seasons, Chicago-based producer /
remixer / songwriter / DJ, and now four-time
Grammy Nominee Steve "Silk" Hurley has more
than proven in his 20-year plus career that
he is a musical force to be reckoned with.
His Grammy Nomination in January of 2004 for
his remix of Brandy's "What About Us" is just
another testament to his longevity as a
producer, and yet another confirmation that
"The Remix King" is here to stay. Having
spanned the sometimes-limiting borders of
contemporary Black music, moving freely from
his Club/House music roots to his R&B/Funk
roots, his musical scope as a producer has
thus far remained unrivaled. Spending his
childhood as a devout radio listener &
worshipping musical giants from The Jackson 5
to Parliament, he developed not only a love
of music, but also a keen sense of melody.
Initially developing a strong reputation
early on in his career as one of Chicago's
hottest DJ's, "Silk" was known for his
signature mixing skills and diverse mixing
style. It was through exercising this
creative expression that he eventually
released his first single entitled "Music Is
The Key", which soared to the #9 position on
the Billboard Dance Chart, establishing him
as one of the pioneers of "House Music" and
validating him as a producer. He quickly
intensified his credentials as a producer and
artist when his group, J.M. Silk, premiered
on the RCA Records label and astonished the
industry with a string of #1 dance hits,
including "Jack Your Body", which was #1 on
the U.K. National Chart for 2 weeks, a feat
which at that time, was accomplished only by
the Beetles. Since then, Hurley's productions
and remixes have catapulted him to the
forefront as one of the hottest talents
today. In fact, his ability to musically
embellish a song and take it to new
dimensions has earned him the well-deserved
title as one of the nation's top remixers.
This is evident in some of his most prized
works, including: Michael Jackson's "Jam" and
"Remember The Time", Prince's "Gett Off",
Crystal Waters' "Makin' Happy", Yolanda
Adams' "Open My Heart", and Boyz II Men's
"I'll Make Love You", as well as songs by
Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Mint Condition,
Sounds Of Blackness, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez,
and Bob Marley, to name just a few. Steve's
recent remixes include the Grammy-Nominated
remix of Brandy's "What About Us", R. Kelly's
#1 hit "Thoia Thoing", and projects by Kelly
Rowland and many others. "Silk's" passion for
music does not end, however, with remixes.
His freestyle creativity expands to that of a
notably outstanding songwriter / producer,
penning most of his chart-topping hits.
Hurley has had a pivotal hand in the success
of many artists with his writing & production
on such projects as CeCe Peniston's "We Got a
Love Thang" (Top 20 Pop, Top 10 U.K. National
Chart) "Keep On Walkin' & "I'm Not Over
You"(Gold & Top 10 R&B), Kym Sims' "Too Blind
To See It" (Gold, Top 10 U.K. National
Chart), Ann Nesby's "Can I Get A Witness"
(Top 10 U.K. National Chart) & "Hold On",
Chantay Savage's "Betch'all Never Find" (Top
10 R&B), Tene Williams' "Give Him A Love He
Can Feel" (Top 10 R&B), and Tanya Blount's
"I'm Gonna Make you Mine" (Top 40 R&B Chart).
His highly acclaimed production of Chantay
Savage's "I Will Survive" (Gold, #2 Billboard
R&B Chart)
was one of the biggest records of 1996. Steve
also wrote and produced songs for Ann Nesby
on her 1st and on Rahsaan Patterson's 2nd and
3rd albums. Silk has appeared on the Oprah
Show several times as a member of Oprah's
"Dream Team" for the Pop Star Challenge
Contest, and also produced the entire
"Oprah's Pop Star Challenge" album, on
Epic/Sony Records,
