Carolyn's fresh vocals capture the original dance floor vibe with all the energy of the 80s, while Ricah's raw realness brings it up to right now. The track, produced by Martinez Kelley and Fro Organix both of Richmond VA, is a non-stop thumper and head bopper that will make OG's want to reach for the baby powder. </p><p>DJ's check your inbox for the radio version (4:42) promo, if you didn't get yours hit me up…</p><p>Extended versions and remixes coming soon! </p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/150630/a20fd4649d5f93474a5b6172782ab22eb8cf4b75/original/img-7243-1.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p><p><strong>“I appreciate all the support over the years.

The entire team was awesome. Jason Henry trusted my online presence and reached out. I am forever grateful. </p>
<p>The Americas Little Miss asked me to DJ for their pageant event June 25th and we had a great time. Thank you Gloria, I am looking forward to the next one. </p>
<p>The Kingdom Church of Orlando gave an amazing event for the members called "Restore the Joy". I was asked to perform for the dinner banquet. All I can say we had a blast. TKC your church flow is awesome, I was honored to be included, the band enjoyed themselves as well. Thank you!</p>
<p>I will be celebrating 35 years in Dance Music, 40 years since my professional Disney debut and my 60th birthday in November. So needless to say by the years end we should be turning it up and turning it out, God willing. </p>Carolyn Harding Musictag:carolynhardingmusic.com,2005:Post/65005102020-12-16T00:13:35-05:002023-08-02T20:20:18-04:00Happy Holidays and a Year End Thank You<p>It has been something of a year indeed. But, I have no complaints. Mostly, I would like to say thank you to everyone that sent Happy Birthday greetings on all of the social media platforms. I have not even been able to see all of them, as I have been busy doing finals... Yes, as in college finals. I am a student again. After all these years I have decided to get a degree in Art. One day I would like to sell my art along with my music. <a contents="Randy Muller " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://randymullermusic.com/">Randy Muller </a>challenged me to make paintings for all my songs so, I am happily at it...... </p>
<p>Discorama and Positive Power radio shows have aired two beautiful interviews, I will post the podcasts here soon. I want the thank Mario and Paula for asking me to share on their platforms...</p>
<p>And I will forever be grateful to all the family at GlitterBox and Defected for the year end chart position of #8 "Strength" for Soul/Funk & Disco's Top 200 on Traxsource,</p>
<p>I think it is so important for us to document our input in this thing called House. In the beginning we gave the people hope in the early days of AIDS. Then we brought the world together through our music, and a DJ very well may have saved a life. Now the world needs healing and house music is still here and up to the task. I am asking God to use me once again and pray that 2021 will bring new music to heal the souls of our nation and the world.</p>
<p>May you all have a safe and satisfying Holiday!</p>
<p>Peace & Love,</p>

Will I ever really recover from Hurricane Sandy? How will I sing with a smile on my face? How will I take care of may son and keep him strong? How will I survive?<br><br>As I lay in my bed, so grateful to have a place to sleep. I think to myself...I don't know the answers the questions above and I can not let that break me. I have to believe that my son and I are covered...I have to believe that my gift will carry me...I have to believe that all the hard work will provide a means and that God will make a way.<br><br>I have been singing my entire adult life...It has been a wonderful life...Singing has allowed me to travel, see the world and meet the most wonderful people. I don't think I could do anything outside of the entertainment field and flow with sanity. I have tried and in a short time I was right back in the thick of it. Walking tall, smiling wide and singing my heart out to any audience that would listen...</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">This is who I am......... </div>
<p><br>In this New Era of the industry I am working harder than ever before...The work off stage is the hard part...Booking, Managing, Collecting, Marketing and Sales....I am learning how to do this all over again as each era comes with some new technology that over rides all that I learned over the past 35 years....<br><br>To know that even one persons day is made brighter makes it all worth the effort... To know that people would buy my music directly from me would make it so much easier to just live....<br><br>The public must be tired of hearing us say these things by now...but I don't know any other way...I went to school to learn performance not marketing...The only way I know how to do sales is to "be myself" and pray that you will eventually like me enough to buy a download.<br><br>I will keep the songs coming and hope you find something to tap your feet to or just lay back and enjoy...<br><br>Have a blessed day!<br>Carolyn <br><br><br> ************************************************************************************************************* I didn't want to delete this so I thought this would be a good place for it: The idea of having to wear all of the industry hats is actually frightening.
