I just read a powerful article about Tyler Perry at http://www.ebmpublishing.com. The article was wonderfully written and showed a different side of him. It discussed in detail his approach to life and commitment to improving the community. It’s an engaging, thought provoking article that gave me a new found level of respect for him

Is it possible to get a recording of Yolanda Adams and Joss Stone singing “Just a Prayer Away”, the duet that they sung on the '09 BET Honors for Tyler Perry?
Anita Baker sang a song called “One” to honour Mary J Blige. The song is originally by U2, then they did a wonderful collaboration with Mary J. I love Anita Baker's version too. I've been looking for an audio of it for my ipod.
