Relevance

Don't think this page meets the relevance standards for Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.106.40.67 (talk) 20:43, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Grammy nominated and lacks relevance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.19.202 (talk) 20:20, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you overlooked the fact that the comment you replied to was posted here in March 2010. (And I assume the original poster meant notability, not relevance.) Dwpaul ^Talk 01:38, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Second generation

"Aloe Blacc (born Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III[1] in 1979) is an American soul singer, rapper, and musician. He is a first-generation African American with parents born in Panama." No, if he was born in the U.S., this makes him second-generation. --153.98.68.197 (talk) 11:50, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry.. whoever you aze. It appears that the author of those words is both right and wrong. In Immigrant generations it states that a "first generation American" is (in most cases) "A citizen of the country who is a naturalized immigrant, or a citizen whose parents are naturalized immigrants. However, saying he's an African American but both his parents are from Central America in Panama is incorrect. While his ancestry may be of African origin, he's a Panamanian-American if you want to split hairs over race. The way I view it, we are ALL of the same origin far enough back, but that's another topic entirely! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 03:32, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's pointless trying to state what the guy is as a 'fact' - the only relevant question is how he identifies himself. If we don't know, then we shouldn't speculate - and in any case I'm not sure why it matters in the context of the article. Right now the article describes him as a "first generation man"; if that's really accurate, I think that should be the focus of his article, not whatever song he has recorded... 121.44.227.246 (talk) 12:33, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The next big thing

- Did a little-known album called 'Shine Through' - Follow up was 'Good Things': a huge hit - Simon Cowell & SonyBMG bought out the rights from Stones Throw in December 2010 - Next album / single will be huge - 12 months time will be collaborating with the likes of Kanye West / Jay Z - Will be a major proponent of propelling the new soul sound, a clear departure from hiphop/rap as we know it. - Keep this post here in discussion, mark my words.

- Why was the listing of his collaborative album with Japanese producer Cradle removed? Can someone work it in again? - Its called "Open your Mind", and as a group they call themselves "Bee". It came out in 2009. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.238.89.194 (talk) 05:47, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source for that? --Jnorton7558 (talk) 10:43, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done unless you can provide a source--Jac16888 ^Talk 11:24, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Revising, referencing, updating

I've done a significant revision on this article, which his here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RBDowing/sandbox/Aloe_Blaac_Edit. Please take a look at it -- hopefully everyone's all right with the changes -- I'll be switching it out if no one has objections! (PS - I'm not a connected contributor on this one -- just a fan!) RBDowing (talk) 23:38, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just made the changes I referenced previously, combining old with new. There are a couple of places that say "citation needed" they're from the previous version -- couldn't find the cites and hoping an earlier editor will plug them in.RBDowing (talk) 22:23, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"See Also" Section: Huh? Why Tracy Chapman? More Info Please

I ctl-F searched for "Tracy Chapman" and "Aloe Blacc" in each of their respective Wikipedia pages; nothing came up. Would like to know more about their connection, if it exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SylvstaB (talk • contribs) 21:08, 11 April 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

Appearance.

Blacc sang at least four songs in the Imagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert, taped 5 December at Madison Square Garden and broadcast 19 December on AMC (rebroadcast 20 December).

Production company site: http://blackbirdmusicgroup.com/imagine-john-lennon-75th-birthday-concert/

TV Guide listing: http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/imagine-john-lennon-75th-birthday-concert/cast/884152/

Songs were: Steel and Glass (solo), Watching the Wheels (solo), Happy Christmas (War is Over) (with Cheryl Crow, Peter Frampton, and a children's chorus whose name I didn't catch), All You Need is Love (ensemble). If he sang any others, I don't remember.

He is featured in these trailers: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=john+lennon+75th+birthday+concert&view=detail&qpvt=john+lennon+75th+birthday+concert&mid=9A95E01FB85C128500CE9A95E01FB85C128500CE&rvsmid=0ABC4736D7BBDCFB801F0ABC4736D7BBDCFB801F&fsscr=0 ; http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=john+lennon+75th+birthday+concert&view=detail&qpvt=john+lennon+75th+birthday+concert&mid=560FF35432A6D90A4E93560FF35432A6D90A4E93&rvsmid=0ABC4736D7BBDCFB801F0ABC4736D7BBDCFB801F&fsscr=0

I enjoyed learning about this singer. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 06:51, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
