Female Appreciation Month Day 24
Today I am appreciating Whoopi Goldberg. I love the version of Ain't No Mountain High Enough from Sister Act 2 which I was gonna include in today's FAM post, she sings in this, along with Lauryn Hill and others. I also won't admit how many of the hymns I know and love to sing cause of this movie and the first one. Oops!
Also, that, I kinda also love church gospel choirs. Heck, fine, I love the idea of celebrating your love for Gpd. And expressing your joy for life and for Gpd in uplifting song and dance.
Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Oh Happpy Day
Joyful Joyful (with Lauryn Hill)
Eye on the Sparrow - Lauryn Hill and Tanya Blount
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
and I know he watches me
But I love and admire Whoopi Goldberg for the cutting and brilliant comedian that she is, the awesome actress that she is and for the person she is. You can use the Six Degrees of Separation of Kevin Bacon, but was Bacon in Star Trek? I don't think so!
But what I really admire about her is the way she is unapologetic about the way she thinks, sees and relates to the world but is able to express herself in ways that are compassionate, kind, wise and diplomatic. She joined The View to take over from Rosie O'Donnell after the great Rosie/Elizabeth smackdown and she chairs the panel with grace, intelligence and humour. I loved hearing her commentary on the US elections as they unfolded and I get up on Sundays mornings to watch the week's worth of episodes replayed.
When I grow up, I wanna be Whoopi Goldberg.
