On this special occasion, we reflect on the incredible journey of Detroit, a city that stands tall with 322 years of history. Founded on July 24, 1701, by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. When the French arrived Africans and the indigenous people were already there. Detroit has evolved into a vibrant metropolis, witnessing growth, development, and resilience over the years.
One of Detroit’s greatest strengths lies in its strategic location on the Detroit River, which positioned it as a thriving hub of trade and activity in southeast Michigan. The river served as a lifeline for industry during the Industrial Revolution, propelling Detroit’s prosperity. However, this prosperity also led to pollution challenges, impacting the river’s health and environmental well-being.
Nevertheless, the determination of passionate individuals and organizations like Michigan Sea Grant and Michigan State University Extension has driven significant efforts to restore the Detroit River, allowing us to enjoy its natural beauty and recreational offerings once again.
Yet, amidst the city’s milestones and environmental efforts, we must recognize the heart and soul of Detroit— the community. It’s been ravished but thanks to organizations like New Era and others, Detroit is taking their community back. It’s essential to honor the local heroes who show compassion and strive to uplift the youth, just like the man who connected with a potential robber and changed his life forever. We applaud the efforts of those who contribute to making Detroit a better place for everyone.
“Detroit, a city of great sports history! Pistons, Lions, Tiger, Red Wings – Oh My LOL! Did you know Channel 62 was America’s 1st black-owned TV station? And the Davison Freeway, a pioneering urban freeway, connects M-10 and Interstate 75. But let’s not forget the beating heart of Detroit – its vibrant music scene. Detroit has a rich and diverse musical history, with a roster of iconic recording artists who have left an indelible mark on the industry. From the legendary Motown sound that reshaped music history to contemporary hip-hop and everything in between, Detroit’s music legacy is truly unparalleled.
The list includes incredible talents like the soulful Aretha Franklin, the charismatic Smokey Robinson, the mesmerizing Supremes, the energetic Martha and the Vandellas, the soulful Mary Wells, the versatile Ted Nugent, the rock legend Iggy Pop, and the soul-stirring Stevie Wonder. Not to mention the magnetic Jackie Wilson, the dynamic 4 Tops, the soulful Wilson Pickett, and the groundbreaking White Stripes.
The list goes on with the incomparable Anita Baker, the charismatic Big Sean, the trailblazing Esham, the lyrical genius Eminem, D12 and the influential Tee Grizzley. Let’s not forget the multi-talented Jack White, the angelic Aaliyah, the empowering Martha Reeves, and the funky Ray Parker Jr.
And there’s more! The charismatic Trick Trick, the versatile Royce da 5’9″, the influential Boss, the soulful Dwele, and the legendary Awesome Dre have all contributed to Detroit’s musical fabric.
We also have R.J.’s Latest Arrival, the dynamic Koas & Mystro, the impactful Detroit’s Most Wanted, the soulful Smiley, the visionary J Dilla, and the trailblazing Slum Village.
The list continues with the unforgettable Frank-N-Dank, the legendary Kid Rock, the soulful Winans, the enchanting Cherrelle, the soul-stirring KEM, the innovative Juan Atkins, the iconic Inner City, and the magnetic Merciless Amir.
And there’s even more! The dynamic AWOL, the captivating Triplexxx, the groovy Dope-A-Delic, and the revolutionary KnightBreed have all contributed to Detroit’s musical landscape.
Together, we honor Detroit’s history, its environmental progress, and the pulsating beat of its music scene. We stand united in creating a brighter future for our beloved city and community. Happy birthday, Detroit!

We at C&B Entertainment Productions fondly remember the incredible talent and soulful voice of Jacqueline “Jackie” Neal. Though we never had the opportunity to have her grace the stage at #SouthernSoulBluesOnTheRiver, we celebrate her life and legacy today.
Jackie’s powerful hits like “Right Thang, Wrong Man,” “The Way We Roll” featuring her son Bro Bro, and “Down in the Club” continue to captivate our hearts. Her music lives on as a testament to her extraordinary talent and passion for the blues.
Unfortunately, Jackie’s life was tragically cut short due to the horrific effects of domestic violence. We remember her as a sister, and we stand united in raising awareness about this pervasive issue. Domestic violence must be addressed and prevented to protect the lives of countless individuals.
Today, on Jackie’s birthday, let us honor her memory by sharing her story and spreading awareness about the devastating consequences of domestic violence. Let us come together as a community to support those affected and advocate for change.
As we pay tribute to Jackie Neal, let her spirit inspire us to create a world where love, respect, and kindness prevail. May her soul rest in peace, and may her music continue to touch the lives of many.
Please visit our blog at CandBEntProd.com to read the full story of Jackie Neal and leave your messages of remembrance and support.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Jackie Neal. You are deeply missed, and your life will always matter.
