She is the Co-founder of Harlem Fashion Week. This month's theme was "Warm Clothes."</p><p>Ms. Yvonne is such a great teacher and an excellent seamstress. Her demonstrations were always spot on. She also had an incredible amount of patience for those who needed extra care. Not to mention she was a beautiful person and so much fun. I love how she pours into the youth with her HFW Youth Fashion After School Program!</p><p>One of the main things that I loved about the class was that we walked away from the class with greater technique and a finished garment. Pictured is the "Infinity Scarf" that I made in class. The t-shirt I'm wearing I made in the Heat Press Workshop presented by Harlem Fashion Week last Thursday. It was so much fun and I loved how the shirt turned out.</p><p>The class thought me how to be more patient with myself and allow myself to make mistakes when trying something new. Those who know me know that's not easy for me but this experience has been a great life lesson. The only way you're going to grow is by making mistakes. The great thing is you can always rip the seems out and try again, just as long as you don't give up!</p><p>I would highly recommend this class if sewing interests you. The classes are held at Save-a-thon Fabrics Store in East Harlem. </p><p>For more information, visit: <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/harlem-fashion-week-beginners-sewing-class-w-yvonne-tickets-810394570977">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/harlem-fashion-week-beginners-sewing-class-w-yvonne-tickets-810394570977</a></p><p><br>For more information about Harlem Fashion Week, visit: <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.harlemfw.com">https://www.harlemfw.com</a></p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/cb2f99c88fd48645def5214998c1b26c6541b00f/original/img-4397.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/95fb544aaade9935b4160e4453290da999643df3/original/img-4438.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/0dbeb8f53da6dac93edd519977c4b0eab9dbb7fa/original/img-4437.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/987879ed7d7629c50dea493309532cb0d4745271/original/img-4389.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p> </p><p> </p>Benita Charles Musictag:benitacharles.com,2005:Post/73424042024-01-29T15:57:56-05:002024-01-29T15:59:34-05:00How is 2024 Treating You?<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/87d1a246a383367cd601bd3da11b02aa2fd2567f/original/benita-ed.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span class="text-small">Preachermann and The Revival at Rubulad New Year's Eve 2023</span></p><p> </p><p><span class="text-big" style="color:rgb(5,5,5);">How's 2024 Treating You?

I always shared with him about my supportive fans and how much they loved our posts of our sessions. He was always so pleased to hear. He was so encouraging and helped me really understand how to be a better recording artist. Not only was he a talented musician, he was also a great teacher, mentor to the youth and a wonderful and kind human being.</span></p><p><span class="text-big">There were thousands of students that he taught guitar at his school. For his final recital for his students over a year ago, he told me how well the students did and how excited they were to do the show. He was so pleased! It warmed my heart.</span></p><p><span class="text-big">I am so grateful that we released, <i><strong>I Am Powerful</strong></i><strong> </strong>last year. I never would have dreamed that would be our last session together. I loved the music he put to my song and I'm very proud at how it turned out.</span></p><p><span class="text-big">Life is short and best lived to the fullest.

There was so much great information and fun exercises to stimulate your creativity.</span><br><br><span class="text-big">One of the activities that we had to do during the course was called, Do Something Different (DSD) - Give. In this exercise, we had to give something that we haven't given before. I chose to give one of my favorite store clerk, Karim a certificate of appreciation for his customer service. He was so thrilled and it was so wonderful to see the huge smile on his face when I presented him the award.</span><br><br><span class="text-big">It was a rewarding experience!

The band was hot and the audience was so warm and inviting. They were with me before I even sang a note! It was amazing!!! A special thanks to Preachermann for showing me love and making such a special birthday by allowing me to open for his dynamic show. Of course, he killed his set!</span></p><p><span class="text-big">A special thanks to all who came to the show and showed me so much love! My Kindness Zone family member, Mrs. Neecy Jones surprised me by coming to the show! It was our first time meeting in person, although we've been talking on Clubhouse for two years. It didn't seem like it was our first meeting. She's such a sweetheart and an incredible woman!!! I loved seeing her smiling, beautiful face when I looked out into the audience as I performed.</span></p><p><span class="text-big">Thanks to all the well-wishers on my birthday! I appreciated all the messages, texts, and calls I received on my birthday! One of my friends shared a voice member with me that I am surrounded by love. I received that message wholeheartedly. This birthday reinforced that message! I appreciate all the love each and every one of you shows me always!!! You are so amazing! </span></p><p> </p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/a000081d73052e0aec95206ab5b17ebfae0c01d0/original/357071434-10230516972530459-6725680039733797445-n.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/17aab99397c8554907d90d35988e19088548664f/original/355127263-10230516972810466-1283386830675432244-n.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/435d740df4843543ef4b0a7aadb20be4053a3d26/original/357452722-10230516973050472-2135556050434736351-n.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/30cba02d1eb2fb79a48dfb36dcb0ffa21da17e56/original/350511872-10230516973330479-836598427492959851-n.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/f68332ae8c7b5fb4f61817fe7bb1f7969d69611d/original/352363617-10230516972730464-7086989336004173909-n.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/7bed692a481eac2591ec192eae99f8f39ebe31b2/original/350518259-10230516973210476-62256786003722280-n.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p> </p>Benita Charles Musictag:benitacharles.com,2005:Post/72361302023-07-02T22:44:54-04:002023-07-03T01:24:53-04:00A Special Thanks to all who came out to The Shrine!<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/288166/50aab5ab20c1c43849a154758a27294854219871/original/357432498-10230516943009721-1942570748433598809-n.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p style="text-align:center;"><i>Preachermann is all smiles after a dynamic performance!</i></p><p> </p><p><span class="text-big">A Special Thanks to all who came to the Preachermann & The Revival Show at The Shrine in Harlem, New York! </span></p><p><span class="text-big">Of course, Preachermann killed it!

The show will set your soul free!</span></p><p><span class="text-big">What sets Preachermann apart from his peers is that his sultry brand of neo-soul is not only fresh, it is fearless; not merely sensuous, but conscious. And unlike so many modern soul artists whose work is weighed down with clichés, he has an uncanny knack for clever wordplay that bridges the serious side of life with the levity that makes it livable. The title track to his 2006 LP, Negroes Stay Crunchy in Milk, is but one shining example of Preachermann’s capacity to skillfully and seamlessly blend prophetic lore with ironic metaphors to make timeless music that crosses broad boundaries without selling itself out.

<p><span class="text-big">It is with great sadness to share that we lost one of the beautiful souls (Valencia Morrow) that I highlighted during the time I was promoting my song, Unsung Heroes. She was highlighted on July 8, 2021.</span></p>
<p><span class="text-big">We affectionately called her, Ms. Vee. Ms. Vee would regularly come into the Kindness Zone on Clubhouse in the early days. She was vivacious and full of life.</span></p>
<p><span class="text-big">She always made us smile and happy! We will miss her way of expressing celebration by saying, aye….aye….aye! The last time she came into the room was on March 22nd. We were so happy to see her because she hasn’t been able to come to the room as often due to her schedule. She was her jovial self, and we laughed and had fun. We didn’t know that would be the last time we would see her. 😢</span></p>
<p><span class="text-big">We will be celebrating her life in the Kindness Zone on Monday, May 8, 2023, at 8:00 pm. </span></p>

I wasn't able to see my brother on his birthday and I wanted something warm and personal, just for him. He was delightfully surprised to hear a beautiful melodic voice singing just for him. It made his day (and mine)! I highly recommend Benita Charles Musical Greetings to make any special occasion even more special."</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">AS I CLOSE THE DOOR </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Dear Lord, as I close the door on the old year, I ponder the things I've done... the things I've said and the joys I've had I wonder, have I lost or won? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've thought of new friends I have made, and the old ones, staunch and true... the paths of the old year made easier, Lord, because I have walked them with You </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I think of all the many times, when my burdens were so heavy to bear, and how my faith slipped away from me but somehow You were always there </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Now, as I open the door to this New Year, and carefully peep inside, I wonder what it holds for me... but I'll throw the door open wide. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Whatever it brings to me and mine, I'll meet it with a heart so true... I know that, Lord, whatever it may be, You'll be there to carry me through! </span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_large">A funny thing happened to me at the New York Public Library the other day, I was minding my own business when one of the library staff asked me if I wanted to take a picture with Patience, the Lion, the NYLP Mascot. I said no and I was going on my merry little way. Usually, when you say no to a person, they leave you alone. However, she was persistent and she said, "yes you do. You know you want to take a picture!" Again, I said, "no, I don't." Still persisting, she said, "you know you want to take a picture. Put your things down and take a picture!" </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">After all of that persistence, I finally took the picture. I was thrilled. Patience, the Lion made my day!</span></strong></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I was at the park the other day speaking to my Singing Tips Live friends on Clubhouse when this sweet little dog named, Chi Chi was so taken by me that she nustled up to me and sat on my feet. She was luxuriating in the attention I was giving her as I was petting and rubbing her that her owner could not get her to move. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment. It was so adorable that I had to stop my speech and let everyone know about Chi Chi. She proceeded to roll on the ground and expose her belly. It was the cutest thing! She made my day so much that I had to take a picture of her!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Kindness Zone Reunion: This past weekend on June 25th, I met one of my Kindness Zone family members and sister from Clubhouse, Mrs. Toni Gilliam, during her visit to New York. We had such a wonderful time together! I was so excited to see her because we've been talking on the app for a year but haven't met in person. I can’t wait to meet the entire Kindness Zone Family someday!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Kindness Zone is a club I established over a year ago on Clubhouse. We've really built a family and a safe space. We meet every day Monday through Friday at 8:30 am to meet, connect, share and set the tone of our day in a positive day.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">One of the ladies called me a "superstar"! The library was happy about my performance and will contact me for future performances. They loved my concept show of chronicling African American Music through history and demonstrating with song. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">A Night to Remember: The show at Silvana on June 3rd was truly amazing! The audience was on fire and very welcoming. I won them over and it was such a sense of accomplishment since most of them didn't know me. There was a gentleman there who gave me one of the most incredible compliments I've ever heard. He was so blown away with my set that he said that what I do in terms of my music and touching people is very essential to helping people through these troubling times. He said music heals. I was caught off guard and so in shock that I didn’t get a picture with him. That was one for the books. I thank God for the power of music! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A special thanks to K'dara Korin for inviting to me perform at Silvana. His set was fire! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I was so happy Preachermann was at the show supporting me! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">My friend, Klehotas Tshyre of Tshyre's Spellbound Repertory Theatres surprised me at the show. It was so good to see him. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A very special thanks to my band, Nick Paldino (guitar) and Cheo Rodriguez (percussion), these gentlemen always support me and make me sound good! I am so grateful for them. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I couldn’t have asked for a better evening! Thank you all so much for supporting me and my music. You make it worth it!</span></p>

All of the performances take place annually on June 21, the first day of summer and the longest day of the year. Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music New York is open to anyone who wants to take part.

<p>A special thanks who attended the Global Business Community Expo presented by Jennifer Maharajh of Simply Healthy Global Media. It was an amazing array of artists, speakers, and entrepreneurs. I'm so happy to have participated.</p>
<p>For more information about the organization, visit: <a contents="https://simplyglobalnetworking.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://simplyglobalnetworking.com">https://simplyglobalnetworking.com</a>.</p>
<p>This is my performance during the expo. At the show, I shared original music from my debut CD: Moments In Love: Volume 1, my tribute to the essential workers, Unsung Heroes. I also debuted my new woman's empowerment song, Be Bold (Be Brave)!</p>
<p>I appreciate all the support of my fans!</p>

It’s a reminder that much progress has been made but there’s still a lot of work to do.</span></p>

<p><strong>AS I CLOSE THE DOOR </strong></p>
<p><strong>Dear Lord, as I close the door on the old year, I ponder the things I've done... the things I've said and the joys I've had I wonder, have I lost or won? </strong></p>
<p><strong>I've thought of new friends I have made, and the old ones, staunch and true... the paths of the old year made easier, Lord, because I have walked them with You </strong></p>
<p><strong>I think of all the many times, when my burdens were so heavy to bear, and how my faith slipped away from me but somehow You were always there </strong></p>
<p><strong>Now, as I open the door to this New Year, and carefully peep inside, I wonder what it holds for me... but I'll throw the door open wide. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Whatever it brings to me and mine, I'll meet it with a heart so true... I know that, Lord, whatever it may be, You'll be there to carry me through! </strong></p>
<p><strong>--Merrei Thompson</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>THE KINDNESS ZONE</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>The Kindness Zone Family on Clubhouse Celebrates the New Year!!! On New Year's Eve in the Kindness Zone, Clubhouse dropped in the replay room for our New Year's Celebration. DJ Teflon provided the photo of the room. That was amazing! A special thanks to DJ Teflon who provided the wonderful music to help us close out the year! He surprised me by playing my song, Unsung Heroes near the end of the room. It warmed my heart. It was a perfect ending for the last room in 2021.Thanks to all the wonderful souls who blessed us for so many months! They show up every day to speak life to each other and heal the hurts and pain. Everyone always leaves better than they were before they entered the room. It is truly a divine space. God told me several months ago to show up. . I show and am blessed each and every time I enter the room. Join the Kindness Zone Club on Clubhouse - Monday through Friday at 8:30 am EST. Much love!</strong></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Over the past 8 months, the Covid 19 pandemic has ravished our nation. Over 400,000 people have died. Even in my own family and circle of friends, I’ve lost loved ones to Covid. We have to get it under control! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This is not a hoax! We must get the virus under control because we cannot move forward with our economy until we do. People must get back to work. Businesses that have closed need to come back. We must get Broadway back! We need to go back to our restaurants and dine in again. We need our economy back! I feel good about this administration. Even before they were sworn in, they were assembling their task force to combat it. We now have a chance to beat it. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As long as there is life, there is hope. The Biden administration brings us hope. Hope that they will work with the nation to bring unity and justice to everyone. President Biden vows to heal and unite our nation in crisis. I believe he will give it his all. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I am hopeful for better days ahead! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Much love, </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">AS I CLOSE THE DOOR </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Dear Lord, as I close the door on the old year, I ponder the things I've done... the things I've said and the joys I've had I wonder, have I lost or won? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've thought of new friends I have made, and the old ones, staunch and true... the paths of the old year made easier, Lord, because I have walked them with You </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I think of all the many times, when my burdens were so heavy to bear, and how my faith slipped away from me but somehow You were always there </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Now, as I open the door to this New Year, and carefully peep inside, I wonder what it holds for me... but I'll throw the door open wide. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Whatever it brings to me and mine, I'll meet it with a heart so true... I know that, Lord, whatever it may be, You'll be there to carry me through! </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">The year 2020 has been one of the most prolific years for me musically, despite living through one of the worst health crises in a century, the Covid-19 pandemic. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">My song, Unsung Heroes is one of the songs I wrote during the lockdown in New York in the spring of 2020. It’s an inspirational tribute song dedicated to all of the essential workers who are risking their lives so that the rest of us can live a safe life during the mist of the crisis. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I started the Essential Worker of the Week Project in support of the song to honor an essential worker each week. With each highlight I would promote to all of my over 20+ social media sites exposing them to hundreds of people to give them the recognition they deserve. It was a huge success!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A special thank you to all the Essential Workers who participated in the Essential Worker of the Week Project! I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Thank you for your dedication and your service in your occupations! It’s because of you that we are able to live a quality life during the Covid-19 pandemic Thank you for your service!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">AS I CLOSE THE DOOR </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Dear Lord, as I close the door on the old year, I ponder the things I've done... the things I've said and the joys I've had I wonder, have I lost or won? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've thought of new friends I have made, and the old ones, staunch and true... the paths of the old year made easier, Lord, because I have walked them with You </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I think of all the many times, when my burdens were so heavy to bear, and how my faith slipped away from me but somehow You were always there </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Now, as I open the door to this New Year, and carefully peep inside, I wonder what it holds for me... but I'll throw the door open wide. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Whatever it brings to me and mine, I'll meet it with a heart so true... I know that, Lord, whatever it may be, You'll be there to carry me through! </span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Singing Tips Live: The Best of 2019/Highlights of the Decade (2010s)</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large"><strong><em>Highlights of 2019</em>:</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">2019 was the year of Marketing on Singing Tips Live. Most of the shows related to marketing yourself, your business and products - specifically Digital Marketing.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">This year my music my music was featured on the Women of Substance Radio/Podcast/Spotify Playlist for their Valentine's Day special and Holiday programs. (Bree Noble Producer)</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">This year my music was also featured on the Ramsay Unleashed: Going Beyond Borders podcast in Scotland. I also created and produced a special segment for the podcast called, 60 Second Singing Tips by Benita Charles. (Fraser Ramsay Producer)</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">This year I debuted my Singing Tips Picture Quotes on social media weekly on Hump Day. In the beginning they were random thoughts but now the quotes relate to the previous Singing Tips Live Show.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">In March 2019, The Benita Charles Trio performed a soulful set at the Soul of the City Concert Series at Ashford & Simpson's The Sugar Bar on the upper west side. We performed mostly for an audience who didn't know us and our music was well received.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">In June 2019, The Benita Charles Trio performed at Corkscrew Wines Brooklyn for the 13th annual Make Music New York. It was a wonderful event. We had the audience singing along in the streets to Work To Do (Isley Brothers). We had a lot of positive feedback from the audience that they enjoyed themselves. The highlight of the night was when one of the audience members approached us to tell us his mother, who was wheel chaired bound and passing through reacted to our music. She was told that she would die on Tuesday but she was determined to see her grandson's graduation and insisted on going. Her nurse was pushing her wheel chair past us when they stopped and listened to our song, "Work To Do." Her son told us that she reacted to the music and he was so excited about that! That touched my heart in such a way. Before he left, he said, "Work! Work!" I can't explain the joy I felt in knowing that our music reached her to give a reaction. That was the first time that had ever happened and it was truly a miracle. The power of music is incredible!!!</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">In August 2019, I presented my one-woman show, Benita Charles: My Musical Journey To Love at the Harlem Library. The show chronicles my musical journey from childhood through adulthood. The library loved the show so much that they invited me to present the show in October. It was well received by the audience and library staff.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">In November 2019, the Benita Charles Trio performed at the New York City Marathon in Sunset Park Brooklyn. It was such a great experience to provide encouragement and entertainment to the runners in the marathon. Our site manager was pleased with our performance. It was a great experience.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">In November 2019, I had the pleasure of meeting the actor, Leon from one of my all time favorite movies, The Five Heartbeats at the Rivington Rehearsal Studios in New York City. He was rehearsing with his band, Leon and the Peoples in the room next to ours. We were rehearsing for the NYC Marathon show. It was wonderful to meet him and he was so gracious to take a picture with me!</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">In November 2019, I created the Facebook Group, <em>Singing Tips Live Community</em> as a place for fans of the Singing Tips Live Show with Benita Charles can come together and share ideas, comments and feedback about the show. The group has continued to grow each week.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">In December 2019, I presented my annual holiday show, highlighting the Saks Fifth Avenue Light Show and The Rockefeller Christmas Tree. It was well received and one of my most popular shows of the year.</span></li>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">One the the greatest achievement of the decade was releasing my single, <em>Never Ever Give Up </em>and producing the video for the song in 2018. Prior to that the last release was 2007. I had been performing live throughout the years but it was the first time in a long time that I put out any new music. It was a great since of accomplishment and a great experience with working on the video for the song. The song has been featured on the Women of Substance Radio/Podcast/Spotify Playlist and Ramsay Unleashed: Going Beyond Borders podcast in Scotland. I'm looking forward to new music in 2020.</span></li>
</ul>

<ul> <li><span class="font_large">In December 2018, I released my Christmas song that I've been performing live for years called, Christmastime (My Favorite Time of the Year). The song has been featured on the Women of Substance Radio/Podcast/Spotify Playlist and Ramsay Unleashed: Going Beyond Borders podcast in Scotland. It's been well received.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large"><i>The Benita Charles Trio: </i>I really enjoy performing with Peter Archer (guitar) and Cheo Rodrigues (percussion) through the years. they are talented musicians and great to work with. In the past I've worked with a larger band but I find the smaller group works with with the type of intimate shows that I like to present. </span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large"><em>Preachermann and The Revival Band</em>: This is a 10-piece atomic soul band led by Ed "Preachermann" Holley. This is a larger group than my trio but it is so great to be in the company of such accomplished professionals. We've been performing together for over a decade and have great chemistry on stage. I've grown as an artist because we perform a diverse set of music from various genres in addition to original music by Preachermann. I sing background and are featured on<i> </i><em>Chain of Fools </em><i>and Out on a Limb. </i>It's truly a spiritual experience each and every time we perform on stage.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large"><em>Singing Tips Live by Benita Charles</em>: Since creating an hosting the Singing Tips Live Show on Periscope (in the beginning) and Facebook Live (presently) for over four years now, I have a great since of purpose and direction with my career. I've never considered myself a Teacher and Influencer but that's exactly what this show has made me. The show was originally designed for beginner singers to show them the steps to becoming a professional singer through the artist development tips I share. However, it is popular with people from all walks of life because many of the tips are universal and can apply to any profession. I'm thoroughly enjoying the ride and I am learning and growing in the process. I've made new friends and fans from all over the world in addition to growing my fan base. I look forward to what the future holds for 2020 with the show.</span></li>

<p><span class="font_large">A special thanks to all our fans and new friends who attended Preachermann's Birthday Concert at The Shrine in Harlem on December 13th! It was a wonderful evening. Shalimar!!!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Here are Highlights from the show:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">Preachermann's Birthday Concert</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="font_large">* On December 13th, we celebrated Preachermann's birthday at a special concert at The Shrine in Harlem.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">* He presented old favorites such as <em>Let It Rain</em>, <em>Preachermann</em> and <em>Negroes Stay Crunchy in Milk</em>. He also presented new music such a as <em>Freshly Glazed</em>, <em>Wine In the Mountain</em>, <em>Familiar To Me and Atomic Soul</em>.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">*It was a special show because Preachermann's mother and uncle were in attendance along with other relatives and close friends. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">*Preachermann's mom served the audience red velvet birthday cake after the show and wowed the audience! </span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large"> The Technical Difficulties</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="font_large">*The drummer for the band wasn't able make the show on time and wasn't present at the top of the show. Preachermann made an executive decision to start the show without him. The show turned into an unplugged lounge set. Once the drummer came, the show became high energy force it usually is.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">*I wasn't feeling well that day and I had to perform, even though I was battling a cold. I had to do several things before the show to ensure I would be in good voice (including getting rest, going to the doctor, getting prescription cough medicine, a special homemade ginger tea by Preachermann and my classical vocal technical training). It truly paid off because the audience didn't know I was sick (I found out after the show)!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">The Performance</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="font_large">*The show was phenomenal and the audience loved it! We did our job. Shalimar!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">KEY TAKEAWAY</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="font_large">*Even with the technical difficulties, you have to put your best foot forward and make it work!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span class="font_large">I. The Preparation (Rivington Music Studios, L.E.S.) </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There’s a lot that goes into preparing for the show. </span></p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">The Equipment – since the location only provided electricity, I had to make sure the equipment was ready and prepped for the performance (in good working condition and I had all the cords I needed to get the job done) </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">Rehearsal – I like to rehearse at least once with the band to make sure we’re all on the same page. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">It just so happened that Leon (from the 5 Heart Beats) was rehearsing with his band right next to us. What are the odds that we would end our rehearsals at the same time and that he would be gracious enough with me to take a picture! I love rehearsing!!! </span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">II. Show Up (Sunset Park, Brooklyn) </span></strong></p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">Getting to the location early enough to make sure you allow time to get to your location, set up and have time to breathe takes away from the stress of the day. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">Even though there was a mix up with our location (we were given the wrong address somehow), we were able to get to the right location in time enough to set with not much time lost. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">I love this location in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It’s early on in the race for the runners, so they’re still enthusiast about being in the race and everyone is upbeat and happy. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">It’s one of the locations that have electricity, so I don’t have to bring a generator. One less thing for me to carry. My bag with the PA and cords are heavy enough. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">I can see everything and it’s not over crowded. You can breathe and move. It’s awesome! </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">There was a gentleman who lives in the neighborhood who remembered me from last year. He said I did a great job and asked if I would be back next year. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">I think I will request this location again if I’m asked back next year. It’s going to be a tradition. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">III. The Performance (The Benita Charles Trio/DJ Benita Charles Music set) </span></strong></p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">I presented a show with live music, a DJ Set of dance music and classic rock, R&B and oldies but goodies. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">I sang a mixture of original favorites such as The Freedom Song, Never Ever Give Up, Round & Round and No More, along with some of my favorite upbeat covers. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">After the band left, I sang along with TV tracks on a few songs. After which I presented a DJ set of some classic dance songs. I eventually chanted encouraging words along with the music. I said things like: We are proud of you…Keep pressing, keep pushing, keep going…You Got This! </span></li>
</ul>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">The audience, the runners and my site manager loved it! Hopefully, they will ask for me back! </span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">IV. The Experience </span></strong></p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">It was such a great sense of accomplishment to know that I added a little something special to the people who took that huge leap of faith, determination and drive to participate in the New York City Marathon. I admire anyone who can run 26 miles! To know that I brightened their day warmed my heart! </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="font_large">This year’s performance was a huge success and I am so grateful to all of my fans for their continues support! It was well worth all of the effort!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">On this episode of Singing Tips Live, Benita Charles discusses her most memorable performances of her life that had an impact and shaped her into the artist she is today.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Top Memorable Performances of My Life </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em><strong><span style="color:null;">The Beginning: The Early Years </span></strong></em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>My first solo of my life at 12 years old at Greater Love Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in Detroit, Michigan. </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This was the moment I discovered my talent. It set me on a musical journey to self-discovery for the rest of my life. I’ve been singing ever sense and the music is in my blood. <br>Lesson: When you discover your true passion, you have to do it. You will have no other choice. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Ouachita Baptist University (Performance Major): My 1st Opera – The Marriage of Figaro </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It was supposed to be a romantic scene but I turned it into a slap-stick comedy when I thought my slip & skirt was falling down. <br>The director wasn’t happy about my performance but the students love it! <br>Lesson: Things don’t always go as planned make the best of it and go with it. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Detroit (Professional Singer): My first major show as a background singer – opening for jazz musician. Marion Meadows </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I came in at the wrong time all by myself. I kept singing through the chorus as if it was meant to be. The people who hired me was happy that I kept singing and didn’t stop. It would have made the mistake more obvious. <br>Lesson: When you make a mistake remain calm, see it though and remain professional. The audience will never know it wasn’t intentional. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em><strong>NEW YORK </strong></em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>New York (Professional Singer): My first professional job as a background singer for a major Korean Pop Singer </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">He hired 3 black singers because he wanted soulful singers to support him <br>Of the 3 of us, I was the most dedicated to rehearsing and learning my parts (phonetically).The other singers didn’t take it so seriously. <br>I made a huge mistake by running on the stage at the wrong point. I thought the stage manager told me to Go! I ran on stage by myself and all I saw was a sea of people. Then I ran off embarrassed. <br>During intermission, we were told we were fired. They gave us the option or staying around or leaving with paid. I chose to leave with pay. Other singers were surprised when I said that but my thing was if he didn’t want us there, I didn’t want to stick around <br>Lesson: Sometimes you can try too hard. Relax and don’t take things so seriously. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>New York (Pop Singer signed to Leighshaq Records): My first performance of my new single, Sexy Punchinella on Leighshaq Records at the CD Release Party </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It was a high performance, sexy dance hall/R&B song <br>I was ready to perform. I had my choreography down. The dancers were ready. <br>The music went out and there were major technical problems. <br>Instead of getting angry and cursing, I remained positive, talked to the audience and made everyone relax <br>When the music finally came on, I performed and wowed the crowd <br>Lesson: Don’t let technical difficulties through you off your game. Keep it moving and you’ll eventually get through it and thrive. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Moments In Love (one-woman show) Upstairs at Rose’s Turn </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This a show I self-produced where I sang my favorite love songs and discussed the various stages in love by color (eg. Blue: The Blues; Red: The heart, etc) <br>My voice cracked at the high point of the song, Nobody’s Suppose To Be Here. I kept going and made the crack more pronounced and longer, as if I planned it that way. I held it together on stage but after I left the stage, I cried my eyes out because I was so embarrassed. <br>Lesson: When you hit a bad note, don’t let it stop you. Keep going and make it a part of your act. (Once you leave the stage, you can fall apart as much as you want but not on stage.) </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Honorable Mention: Never Ever Give Up Video Release Party </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The event and my performance were great. <br>The audience had a great time and I got so many compliments about the event and concert afterwards <br>I was proud of myself for celebrating my release. It was the first time I ever made myself the star attraction with my music. <br>Lesson: Celebrate yourself and every step of your achievements </span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">A Special Thanks to all who supported my Harlem Library Show! It was truly an amazing afternoon. The audience was amazing and they told me they had a great time. That's all I can ask is that I inspire, entertain and enlighten the audience. I was truly in my element yesterday.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This was a very personal show me. I was able to share my story with the audience and take them on a journey from my early beginnings to present day. My purpose of the show was to encourage the audience to share their gifts. They promised me at the show that they would share their gifts. I thank God for my gift.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A very special thanks to Jean Harripersaud of the Harlem Library for inviting me to perform at the library and for her graciousness; Barbie Seigle Chisholm and her family for coming from New Jersey; Preachermann for his love and support and for helping me with my equipment; Jason Thompson for filming the show and NY-Stylist, Roxie Seigle for my hair design; Good Choice For Nails: manicure and pedicure!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I couldn't have asked for a better show!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Much love,</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Preachermann & The Revival presented Atomic Soul Album Release Party at Brooklyn Bowl on Monday, September 9th. The show was a success supported by close family, friends and fans.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_xl">3 Lessons Learned from the Show:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Lesson 1: You Have To Prepare For Greatness</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">--- There's a lot of preparations that goes into planning a huge show at a premier venue.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">--- Planning rehearsals fro an 11-piece band, managing everyone's schedule and making sure everyone had the music who couldn't attend rehearsals proved challenging.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">--- You have to make sure the music and merchandise are ready by showtime.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">--- Promoting the show and getting the word out is also very important through social media, event listings and word of mouth.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Lesson 2: You Have To Show Up and Put Your Best Foot Forward</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">--- You've put in the rehearsal and had the sound check before the show now it's time to perform. If you're prepared properly, you can just perform and not worry about all the technical things that go into the performance.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">--- My experience: I got lost in the music and let all my inhibitions go. I was totally free and it felt so good. The stage is my home!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Lesson 3: You Can Judge Your Success By The Experience Of The Audience</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">--- The feedback from the audience was outstanding. They had a great experience. They were still glowing after the show.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">---The audience's reaction let's us know that the show as a huge success. This is why we do what we do what we do.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Preachermann's thoughts:</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Preachermann thought the show was great and well worth the effort. The benefits have long lasting effects. He impressed important people in the audience that he found out after he performed. It proves that you never know who will be in the audience. You always have to do your best.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">One of the lessons he learned was to make sure he prepares ahead of time to record the show. He found out 10 minutes before the show that he could have recorded the show but it was too late for the venue to prepare.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Preachermann's motto: "40 or 40,000. Rock it the same."</span></p>

<p>“The year 2020 must be marked by a new direction in music that shakes up the world and puts the focus back in the art and the creators – not on the latest technical trend…In 2020, music will shine again! Those who create something unique will thrive.” Mike Gormley, LA Personal Management & Industry Leader </p>
<p> </p>
<p>About the Artist: </p>
<p>“I love the minimal approach to his songs…less is more. It’s a beautiful ride from the start and his vocals are extremely haunting, yet very addictive. He reminds me of a young sounding Bill Withers at times. His songs are so fresh and the delivery is perfect.” DJ Bob, London </p>
<p>“With a voice that reminds you of Curtis Mayfield with a bit of Al Green during his chain rockin’ shirtless period. Preachermann channels the energy of many soul singers of the past… Apparent in his interaction with the audience at live shows…you can see that it’s not all about him.” Blogspot.com </p>
<p>“Impassioned, yet wickedly subtle, politically conscious old-school style soul crooner, Preachermann & The Revival…Sort of the missing link between late-period Marvin Gaye and Gil Scott Heron.” NY Music Daily.World Press.com </p>

<p><strong><span class="font_large">A special thanks to all who came out to Blackhorn 51 last night! It was an awesome night and the audience was on fire! </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Tonight was special because we were short our guitar player but we pushed through and performed anyway and we nailed it! It was so wonderful to know that we touched people's lives and made people happy with our music. We made new friends and fans and enjoyed other great artists who played. It was truly a magical night! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Thanks to our fans! You make all the hard work so worth it!!! Shalimar!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Here are 3 Lessons Learned from the Blackhorn 51 Show</strong>:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">1) <em><strong>You Have To Take Risks</strong></em>:</span></p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">Preachermann & The Revival lost his guitar player at the last minute due to an family emergency.</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">The band was also playing with a new keyboardist who hadn't had a chance to practice with the band.</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">Preachermann made an executive decision to go on with the show and the band knocked it out the park.</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">The audience loved us and we wouldn't have met our new fans if we didn't show up.</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">You have to show up!</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="font_large">2) <em><strong>Always Bring Your A-Game</strong></em>:</span></p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">One band stood out from the crowd, Concrete Dreams (a hiphop/EDM/hardcore metal crossover project)</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">They were the last act of the night and most people had left. They played as if there were 1,000 of people in the audience</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">They were polished, dynamic and professional. They totally blew me away and made me a believer in their music</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">I spoke to the drummer, Juan afterwards. He said the band has been working hard for 2 years and they are finally starting to make strides. They have a song coming out on a new Netflix show and they are trending on Spotify. It was so inspiring as an artist to see them.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="font_large">3) <em><strong>You Have To Put Yourself Out There and Network</strong></em>:</span></p>
<ul> <li><span class="font_large">You never know who you will meet and what will inspire you.</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">You should collaborate with other artists to cross promote and each will gain new fans.</span></li> <li><span class="font_large">I met so many great fans and artists also we had new people who saw us.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">It was an incredible night of music, beautiful people and good vibes!!!</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Today is a special day for me because it is my birthday! I love it when Google remembers my birthday! ;)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">One of the things I’m truly grateful for is YOU. I appreciate the love and support you’ve shown me through the years for all of my creative endeavors. You are truly amazing!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Here are the top 5 Lessons I learned this year:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">1)</span> <span class="font_large">Be Grateful</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">-- Sometimes when you're too ambitious and always wanting more leads to being unhappy and things never being enough.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">-- Gratitude makes you happy and puts you in a mindset for abundance.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">2) Don't Sweat The Small Stuff</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">-- Life isn't always perfect. You have to accept things as is sometimes.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">-- Don't everything so serious all the time. Lighten up!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">3) Never Ever Give Up</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">-- Keep pushing and striving for your dreams and goals, even when you don't feel like it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">-- Don't stop until you've accomplished your goals</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">4) Celebrate Your Success</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">-- For the first time ever, I wrote down everything I accomplished this year. I was amazed at how much I accomplished in every aspect of my left. That negative voice in my head told me I didn't do anything but when I looked over my list, I realized there was a lot I accomplished. It made me so proud of myself. I encourage you to do the same. Write down everything you accomplished this year and pat yourself on the back. You deserve it. This is definitely going to be an annual tradition for me!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">5) Reward Yourself</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">-- Now it's time to do something fun or something that you love as a reward for all your accomplishments this year!</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large"><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">***A special thanks to all my fans for your continued love and support! I love you!!! ***</span></span></p>Benita Charles Musictag:benitacharles.com,2005:Post/58007872019-06-22T19:20:19-04:002022-04-14T03:46:56-04:00Thanks to all who attended the Make Music NY Show @ Corkscrew Wines BK!<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/288166/1309d67643c8fab2903cbfbb8d76149e6ee0b34c/original/64728998-10219291132411472-6335490242396553216-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Power of Music: A special thanks to all who attended our show at Corkscrew Wines Brooklyn for the 13th annual Make Music New York festival. It truly was a night to remember and one of our best shows to date.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">One of the things that made this an exceptional show is the audience engagement we had. We literally had the whole street singing along with our songs. In addition to my original song, the Freedom Song. The crowd also sang along to the cover song I do "Work To Do." They were attentive and hanging on to every word and note. The crowd stayed through the full performance and requested an encore! Additionally, they even gave me valuable feedback at the end to make my show even better. It was so appreciated because it was given with love. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">One of the best compliments we got is the fact that even though we are a trio, we sounded like a full orchestra band and that we sounded very tight and in sync with each other.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The highlight of the night was when one of the audience members approached us to tell us his mother, who was wheel chaired bound and passing through reacted to our music. She was told that she would die on Tuesday but she was determined to see her grandson's graduation and insisted on going. Her nurse was pushing her wheel chair past us when they stopped and listened to our song, "Work To Do." Her son told us that she reacted to the music and he was so excited about that! That touched my heart in such a way. Before he left, he said, "Work! Work!" I can't explain the joy I felt in knowing that our music reached her to give a reaction. That was the first time that had ever happened and it was truly a miracle. The power of music is incredible!!!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A special thanks to the owner of Corkscrew Wines Brooklyn, Karin Holm Torres for requesting us and her staff for being so accommodating! They truly made us feel so welcomed. She said she wants us back. I'm looking forward to more collaborations. Karin wrote a wonderful Instagram post about me: <span class="font_large">"</span>We now have the amazing sounds and tunes of @benitacharlesmusic she is rocking Myrtle ave!!!" That was so awesome!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A special thanks to my band: Peter Archer (guitar) and Cheo (percussion) for their musicianship and professionalism. It's always a pleasure and thank you for the music!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Thanks to all the new fans we made and our faithful fans. You truly make this journey so worth it!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last night's show was a message to me that I am on the right journey to changing the world through my music! I'm going to continue to "Let My Light Shine!"</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">AS I CLOSE THE DOOR </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Dear Lord, as I close the door on the old year, I ponder the things I've done... the things I've said and the joys I've had I wonder, have I lost or won? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've thought of new friends I have made, and the old ones, staunch and true... the paths of the old year made easier, Lord, because I have walked them with You </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I think of all the many times, when my burdens were so heavy to bear, and how my faith slipped away from me but somehow You were always there </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Now, as I open the door to this New Year, and carefully peep inside, I wonder what it holds for me... but I'll throw the door open wide. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Whatever it brings to me and mine, I'll meet it with a heart so true... I know that, Lord, whatever it may be, You'll be there to carry me through! </span></p>
