The roots of rapping are found in African American music and bear similarities to traditional African music, particularly that of the griots of West African culture. The African American traditions of signifyin', the dozens, and jazz poetry all influence hip hop music, as well as the call and response patterns of African and African American religious ceremonies.

Do you ever write to music?

Occasionally, I'll play an emotional song when writing a really emotional chapter of my novel "Damsel in the Red Dress." I find getting into this almost "cinematic" mindset can help me channel more emotion into the scene. While it's certainly not the only way you can 'make yourself emotional' to bring more life to the scene, I think it's a pretty effective one.

If you've never tried writing to music (specifically catered to the mood of the scene) I encourage you to try it sometime. You might find it helps you get through a sticking point when the emotions are falling flat.

Aretha Franklin’s mother, Barbara Siggers Franklin, & Aretha's father, C.L. Franklin.

Barbara was a gifted pianist and, according to Mahalia Jackson, one of the finest gospel singers in the country.

Following marital trouble, she left Aretha's father in 1948 and moved to Buffalo, New York, where her mother resided. She made a life for herself working in a music store, giving private music lessons, and training to be a nurse's aide. She and Franklin never officially divorced.

Although it was widely reported that she had deserted her children, Aretha Franklin disputed that claim, and Nick Salvatore of Cornell University took pains to discredit it in his biography of C. L. Franklin. According to Salvatore, she visited Detroit to see her children, and they traveled to Buffalo during summer vacations for stays with her.

Barbara died of a heart attack on March 7, 1952, at 34 years of age. Aretha was only 9-years-old.

On This Day in New York City History January 23, 1943: Jazz bandleader Duke Ellington (April 29, 1899 - May 24, 1979) performs at Carnegie Hall for the first time. The concert had a two-fold purpose. It was a fundraising benefit for the Russian War effort and it was a celebration for the 20th anniversary of Duke Ellington within the New York City music scene.

This show would be the first of five consecutive years where Ellington and his band would play at Carnegie Hall.
