Tweet “One Life To Live” is out! Get it Now! Read what others have said about B. Taylor and “One Life to Live”Pete Moore, one of the original members of the Miracles, recognized B. Taylor’s gift the first time he saw him perform. “B. Taylor is the Stevie Wonder of hip hop. He plays four instruments like Stevie Wonder did when he was discovered by the Miracles in the 1960s,” says Moore. “Hip Hop is a derivation of Classic Motown and I felt that it would be very exciting to bring the two together, something that has never been done in the 50 year history of Classic Motown,” says Moore. “I want this record to make a connection between hip-hop and classic Motown, which influenced a lot of hip-hop artists,” Moore said. Besides Taylor’s musicianship and vocal skills, Moore cites the “positive messages” in Taylor’s lyrics as one of the key elements that attracted him to the young artist. “It’s wonderful that such a young man is coming out with a new, innovative type of hip-hop…I see he has good , long training and is applying that training to his life. He seems to be taking the straight road. I think he’s someone that can be an inspiration to other young people.” Smokey Robinson – source NBC San Diego “B. Taylor is the new sound of classic Motown” – says Motown legends – Pete Moore, Claudette Robinson (The First Lady of Motown) and Bobby Rogers of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Katherine Schaffner of the Marvelettes, and Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. “It is time for us, the Classic Motown legends, to come together with Hip Hop so our legacy will live on,” says Motown artist Martha Reeves of The Vandellas who had the hits “’Dancing in the Street’ and ‘(Love is Like a) Heat Wave.’ “We are glad to have B. Taylor back for this video and are excited to be working with him,” said Commander Anderson – Director of U.S. Navy Office Information-West “We’ve had discussions about having him film another song here on North Island, where B. Taylor served,” Anderson continued “B. Taylor embodies our core values of courage, honor and commitment,” said Commander Robert Anderson “It’s an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as these legends and the momentum I’m already feeling is just incredible,” B. Taylor says. Taylor said, “I want to bring the prestige of Motown into hip-hop, so that the younger generation will understand what I’ve learned from working with Mr. Moore.” Watch B.
