Speaking of Zelma Davis ...

Mention them. And they will e-mail.

When I referred to singer Zelma Davis earlier today, I can't say I expected this:

Hello Mr. Bennett,


I noticed that you mentioned me on your blog today.

I hope you have the opportunity to check out my new single, "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" with Amber. It was released today.

All the best,

Zelma

Well in that case, do like she says and check out her new single. Show Zelma some love, y'all.

I recently became a Zelma Davis fan when she recorded the cover of "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)" with International recording artist Amber.

I did not know about the challenges that Zelma had faced in her career until I watched this video on YouTube:

My heart literally went out to Zelma. Both she and Amber are obviously huge talents! I could not believe how the music industry had treated her and how an artist who is so obviously talented could have been treated so badly.

I am so happy for Zelma that she is getting the "second chance" that she so justly deserves.
