HOWARD continued from B1
-.
film "Poetic Justice," which stars
Janet Jackson.
Miki knows tha t the new era of
entertainment requires a multi­
dimensional identity and, al­
though singing is her true
passion, she plans to make ·her
"
mark in the entire entertainment
realm. Beautiful, sensuous, and
abundantly gifted, Miki Howard
is a consummate vocal artist with
the brightest of futures. Femme
Fatale simply clinches it.
BLACK continued from 81
portunity to join his traveling
r adshow - that night. An over­
whelmed Black went home,
packed his bags (literally a
. cardboard box) and he was on the
plane the next morning!
DAVID WAS ON the road for
four months, during which time
David sang "My My My" in the
middle of each set. In Beaumont,
Texas, when he first hit the stage,
the audience booed his presence;
by the time he finished singing,
he'd brought down the house.
One performance in Long Beach,
California was particularly
memorable: "Johnny Gill was c­
tually in the audience! I was kind
of nervous knowing the guy who
. recorded the song was listening to
me, but I met him backstage after­
wards and he said I did good." Of
cours ,pullingintoMontgomery,
Alabama-where friends and
family watched him perform­
was a special thrill.
Soon, Black, having re-located
to Fremont, California, was at
work recording. He sang on the
cut, "Why Can't We Live
Together" from Hammer's multi­
platinum Too Legit To Quit LP,
and in August '91 began record­
ing his own album. "Working
with Steven Russell and Felton
Pilate was a learning experience, "
says Black, who exudes a country
boy charm that is refreshing in
today's music biz. "They
brought out the best in me, taught
me how to sing certain things. It
was like being in school. "
When he's not making.music,
David likes to play basketball,
continue to develop his songwrit- .
ing talents and take simple walks
in olitude. "I don't require a lot"
he says. "I'm a quiet type of per­
son. But I would like to fultill my
dream of becoming a superstar.
I'd like one day to be considered
one of the best singers in the busi­
ness. " Such is a tall order for
anyone, but with "Loving Ain't
Easy", David Black has already
taken the first step. .
One
spoils a
thousand
truths.

Leagues in the 30s. Fans used to urge him Ion by hollering, "Kick,

Chocolate Dadies).
