THANKS TO ALL WHO JOINED BLUE DIVA FOR THE PLAY ALL DAY IN PA SOUL JAM CONCERT & DINNER PARTY
February 22, 2020
WOW WHAT A GREAT TIME!!!

From the bus pick up to, the all you can eat food & drink dance party, to the fabulous concert... IT WAS LIKE SUGA FROSTED FLAKES... GREAT!

We traveled with a friendly group of people and the trip SN Captains were well organized and friendly.  I must say the DJ was AWESOME, he hit all the hits and got the crowd going at the hotel dance party.  The concert hall was well equipped and comfortable... all the groups were on point and displayed their singing chops impressively.

Everyone I spoke with from the trip really enjoyed themselves... if you missed this trip, well I feel for ya, 'cause you missed a good one.

Hope everyone can make the next bus trip... I'll keep you posted.

NOVEMBER 16-17, 2019
AFRICAN-AMERICAN MUSEUM
OVERNIGHT BUS TRIP
This was one of the most memorable events we've done.  Not only was it a turn up party with DJ dancing, all you can eat food, and open bar... but we stayed overnight at the hotel was very comfortable and recharging.  After a good breakfast buffet, we were off to the adventure of a lifetime... I say that because many of us do not really know what it took to get such a grand museum that houses OUR story and was done so well. 

The museum is so impressive in stature and the artifacts within. IT WAS HUGE... we couldn't see it all in one day, I was asked if we could return on another trip to see more.  I would definitely like that.

AFRO PUFF & STUFF COSTUME PARTY & SHOW FEATURING CARL "THE SMOOTH 1" SMITH

COME ON BABY LET THE GOOD TIME ROLL!!!.... Once again we had a great time at the annual Afro Puff & Stuff celebrating the good ole days at Whispers Lounge.  We were on a roll with singer Dancy Dancy warming up the crowd to a fever pitch so that out headliner, Carl "The Smooth One" Smith could slay all the way.  We had a lively night with the costume parade showing us the traditional afros and afrocan wear, but the winners dressed as Salt & Pepper, a B-boy, and Wizards took home the prize... We celebrated the birthday of our October members with singing happy birthday and cupcakes provided by Minister Anita Adams, then shooked our tails to DJ B-rock and everyone had a great time!

Can't wait to turn up again at the next event... Turn up Bus Trip to the African American Museum!

BLUE DIVA PRODUCTIONS SPRING FLING

Sending a special thank you to all those who attended and performed at our annual Spring Fling at Whispers Lounge, NY

Carl Smith - The Smooth One was in attendance and was giving us something we could feel as he set the stage and gave us a preview of his upcoming show with Blue Diva Productions.

The spirit and sounds Barry White was in full effect thanks to the talent of Cornelius, MD - The Love Doctor.  Wowing the crowd with some of Barry's great hits, having a sing-a-long with the audience and singing to some of the ladies in attendance, who had smiles from ear to ear.  He even gave us some of his own original song from his new release.

Your spirit of caring, sharing and love for old school events make it so worth while for me to continue doing what I do to keep the music and style ALIVE...

Thank you so very much and I can hardly wait to hang with you again at our next event.

My special thanks and shout-out to all who attended the Holiday Show & Party... We all had a blast. Special thanks to all the happy birthday wisher and cup cakes I received and to the local celebrities that graced our event and especially the true blue members of Blue Diva.

LEGACY was awesome as always... making me cry with the beautiful sounds of a medley of my old school favs.  Sonny from Blue Magic sang with  members of Nu Millennium Acapella group and LaLa from Encorz was also in the house, making it "the place to be"... Thank you all... a true blessing of support.


God bless and we hope to see you at our next event!

GOD CALLED HIM HOME

GOING HOME...

Friend and entertainer to Blue Diva Productions, Tony “Showtime” Riley, last member of the Persuaders, singer of “It’s a Thin Line Between Love & Hate” was called home to God. 

Since his first performance with us, I’ve received numerous calls for encore performances.  Tony was always very gracious, warm and professional and made everyone around him feel right at home.  Whether he was singing his signature song Thin Line or my favorite… When Something Is Wrong With My Baby, I found his soulful voice always had such a profound effect on my spirit.  I’ll never forget, at his first show with Blue Diva, one of our members, Anita, asked him how he felt doing such an intimate show, as oppose to a big concert hall, and he said “I love playing intimate shows like this, because in a large concert hall if someone yells out “I love you Tony”, I’ll say it back, but I can’t  see who’s saying it… but in an intimate show like what Blue Diva does, when someone says “I love you Tony, I can look them in the eye and say it back… I really like that.”

He was always on point with his vocals and the way he expressed the spirit of each song he sang… He was always encouraging and willing to help this small promoter where he could, and I loved him for it… never too grand, but always God loving and humble.

Tony was a BEAUTIFUL PERSON and I will miss him so very much. Rest in Blessed Peace my brother.  Much love and adoration from me and the whole Blue Diva Crew. 

Ms. V

Great Tribute Written & Posted by Lincoln Sessoms

A Wonderful Man Who Will Not Be Forgotten!

As he walked to the stage impeccably dressed with a towel in his hand as if he was warning everyone watching the stage “Its On” we all knew it was show time and we were about to be entertained by an extremely talented person as part of a group or as a solo act, as he has been the past few years. With people loving him all over The United States including the 8 boroughs of New York City when you include New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut not to mention Strong Island! This guy gave 100 percent to the audience even when he was extremely sick. He loved entertaining and sure could sing those ballads with the best of them. In the dictionary next to the name show time should be a photo of this wonderful and outstanding performer.

Yes the name was Showtime but his name to so many others was: Great Husband, Great Dad, Great Friend. Caring and Understanding Person, Community Minded Person, Real Person, Loving Person, Straight Forward Person, Respectful Person, Appreciative Person, and that person who always had an opinion while always speaking his mind!

To so many he will always be Showtime. But for the record he was and is Tony Riley or formerly Anthony Riley. I can hear Frankie Crocker high above in Heaven bringing him to the stage today: “Ladies and Gentlemen a special treat and a person I sure would have loved working with on Earth, Tony Showtime Riley!” And out walks Tony healthy and feeling good dressed like a star with his hat (not cap) up on one side and bent on the other with his towel. In the audience The Temptations, Cuba Gooding, The Dells, The Persuaders, and many others are cheering like a crowd in Memphis would if they saw Elvis alive again. Yes Al Goodman, a Mentor to Tony, is backstage right encouraging Tony to do well after asking if he had his tracks, something Al always reminded Tony to do. Oh its on and popping in Heaven because as we all know when Tony “Showtime” Riley is in the building exciting things happen!

In my many years working in various fields including entertainment I have never seen Tony say one bad thing or gossip about anyone except Promoters who do not pay. Glad I always paid him and glad he always gave great deals because he was community minded when it came to a certain free event we do each summer in Harlem. Tony said on Facebook a while back: :Tony “Showtime” Riley is a brand, so be prepared to make the right offer, I’ve earned it And he really has. But truth be told Tony loved singing so much he did it at a moments notice because he was born to sing.

Personally I feel Tony taught so many people especially men how to love. He did this by always posting his love for his outstanding wife Anita and his Sons. Truth be told he shamed lots of people without knowing it into being better mates and friends. Tony loved loving! He loved his family and was so happy about each and every one of them! And they loved him back and would go to war for him as they did if anyone came after him in person or even on Facebook. I guess as much as he loved singing, he loved family more. And that’s a great thing!

As I entered his hospital room on his last day before he left to star in Heaven, I felt a sense of peace and calmness. I looked at this guy we all appreciate and adore and saw a good looking and handsome man with a look that could say he was on his way to true paradise! I mean he looked so at peace as his family sat around greeting various visitors. Sitting in the waiting area outside of his room I could only think back at how wonderful he was and also how appreciative.

Tony “Showtime” Riley might have left the planet but he sure remains in our hearts in so many positive ways. Rest in Peace Tony knowing your family will be OK because thousands have their back if they need us. Like I said earlier to your Wife: If you need us we will pack the room like James Brown Packed The Apollo many years ago.

God Bless Tony Riley, Anita Cook-Riley, and the entire family!

'70s vs '80s  "ROCK THE BOAT"
BOAT RIDE!


Our first annual Boat Ride was done with Unwind Promotions and we had a BALL!!!  The event was centered around the men and women from NYC Transit.  Everyone was spirited and lively without getting nuts, and BDP member blended right in with the fun crew to make it yet another "must not miss" event...


The Circle Line is known for its excellent ships and crew... it was smooth sailing with good drinks & eats for a reasonable price.  The double decker ship had a DJ upstairs with games and prizes for the best costumes from the 70’s & 80’s and a raffle for cash prizes and a large flat screen T.V. (unfortunately, I didn’t win).  Downstairs, where we stayed most of the time, was a DJ and Karaoke… and one very lively crowd.  Of course I got on the mic along with the other brave souls… and guess what, even Allan P. go on the mic!!! 

 We danced, we sang, we ate & drank and we rocked along with the boat.  Unfortunately for me by the time I took Allan outside for some hugs and cuddle time, it was time to go…. WHERE DID THE TIME GO!  We were having so much fun, the time just got away from us.

I’d like to thank all of the member of Blue Diva and the Unwind member who lite up the boat and made our first annual boat ride a great success… and we look forward to the next one.   

--- Ms. V

PRE-MOTHER'S DAY SPRING FLING



Well, we certainly shook off all the Winter Recess at this event!   Everyone was "woke" and shaking it at the Spring Fling.  We featured our fan favorite "LEGACY" who wowed everyone with their great voices and harmony of the old school classics and they played a version of name that tune, with Name That Movie... featuring hit tunes from some of the classic movies of the pass, and if you got it right, they had gifts for you.  It was so great seeing the guys again, being around their positive vibes and hearing their great voices.  Also on the ticket were Nyia, showcasing her cool R&B lyrical talent as she sang songs she wrote, and watching her do her thing on the mic was a true delight... she is definitely someone to mark for future success.  For the first time we had someone doing the Spoken Word... Ms. Sami Rose, needless to say she was GREAT... giving us all a thump on the head about relationships and women power... a beautiful dedication for Mother's Day.   Blondie catering featured a delicious meal for our tummy and the Blue Diva Crew kept it rocking.  The Special guest appearance by designer Doreen Hunter & the Blue Diva models was sooo good, we may ask them back at a future show...

The August 3rd show in our Soulful Sundays Series, ''An Intimate Afternoon with....."  Mr. Tony "Showtime" Riley, (singer of "It's a Thin Line Between Love & Hate") was HUGE.  Our members filled the house and gave much love to our performers.  We had some very talented people entertaining us.  In the 'Rising Stars' Showcase we featured Luckee and Theda Clay and the featured entertainer for the event was Mr. Tony 'Showtime' Riley.  These performers laid some vocals on us that had toes tapping and bodies swaying.   They made it a wonderful event!  Every voice was on point and got the audience so stirred up they wanted to get up and sing after the performance!  It was great.  Special thanks to Showtime for singing my personal favorite 'When Something is Wrong with My Baby'.

Now let's talk about DJ Pope... he was the bomb ... keeping us rocking before, during and after the show with all the favorite old school hits...  and we played 'Pass the Mic' at the after party which allowed the audience to sing and dance to their hearts content...  Thank you man.

Our photographer was Shabazz of Shabazz Enterprises.  He will be forwarding some of the pictures of the event to be posted on our website check for them by clicking the "pictures" tab above . 

A special thanks to the team at Escape Restaurant & Lounge.... the bartender Tony, our waitresses Kristin & Tatiana, and the Chef Jose Solares for a fabulous meal and drinks. And to Elvis the owner, for having such a great place and staff.  The renovations at the new Escape Restaurant and Lounge at 3489 Jerome Avenue near Gunhill Road in the Bronx, where a perfect blend of classy and comfortable.  Lunch was included and featured a full 4 course meal, and of course was as delicious as always.

MAY'S  SPRING EVENT 2014

Courtesy of Soul 1 Entertainment

 Bronx Classic Soul Concert

The May 31st 2014 concert  held at the Rafeal Hernandez Auditorium was 'off the hook'... you got a full dose of talent with performances by The Delfonics Revue, Jessie D of The Force MD's, Shades of Soul, Carl T, and Crystal Notez.  Chaz was the MC for the show and had his own brand of talent that kept the crowd going and the jokes and gags flowing for the whole time. He was a real crowd pleaser and I appreciate the great job he did.  The Shades of Soul wowed us with sign-alongs of some of our favorite songs from the 70s/80s; Carl T and Crystal Notez charmed us with their soulful voices and Crystal showed off her writing talents by singing a duet that she wrote with Johnnie Johnson that was oh so sweet.  Jessie D got everyone on their feet with his energy and performance of some of The Force MDs hits. And of course The Delfonics Revue put the cherry on top with their polished and  talented performance.... but a special love note goes out to lead singer Benny Daniels, he slayed everyone and had audience member actually crying when he sang 'For the love that I gave to you" with only the great harmony of Greg & Tommy and a soulful guitar accompanying them.  CONGRATULATION TO ALL FOR A GREAT SHOW.

June's Special Guest Performers The Delfonics Revue

     These guys are no joke… they sang, they danced, they led the crowd in a sign-alone to La La Means I Love You, they had me almost in tears with their harmonizing to ‘For The Love I Gave To You’.  Then to top it all off… they gave out posters and personally autographed each! And posed for pictures with our members!  All the time being so cheerful and professional. 

     The members couldn’t stop calling me and telling me what a great time they had.  I loved every moment of it.  Even when we had some technical difficulty with the sound system… they remained cool and loving.   I LOVE YOU GUYS. 

     I highly recommend that if you or your organization is having a special event coming up that you consider hiring them for your affair.  They are such a pleasure to work with and they really love what they are doing and they love their fans.  It shows in all that they do… professional all the way, with talent in excess! 

     I’ve included some of the pic from their June  Soulful Sundays Series show with Blue Diva Productions at Escape.  You wouldn’t want to miss any of the Upcoming Events we have planned to ‘get you out of the house and party with your peers’
