http://www.theatermania.com Laurence Fishburne has been one of Hollywood's most iconic actors for nearly 30 years, thanks to unforgettable performances in Apocalypse Now, What's Love Got to Do With It?, for which he received an Academy Award nomination, and the box-office smash The Matrix. But the powerful 46-year-old star is no stranger to the stage, having won the Tony Award in August Wilson's Two Trains Running and appearing in such diverse plays as The Lion In Winter and Fences. Now, Fishburne is taking on his biggest challenge portraying former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall in George Stevens Jr.'s solo play Thurgood, which officially opens at the Booth Theatre on April 30. He recently spoke to TheaterMania about portraying this legendary role model -- as well as his own role models.

Paul Laurence - Cut the Crap (Featuring Janice Dempsey) from 'Underexposed' 1989 ------------ Biography: Songwriter/producer/keyboardist Paul Laurence had seven number one R&B hits: Freddie Jackson's "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)," "Jam Tonight," "Tasty Love," "Hey Lover," "Do Me Again"; Stephanie Mills' "(You're Putting) A Rush on Me"; and Meli'sa Morgan's "Do Me Baby." His other credits include Evelyn King's (her label RCA suggested that she drop "Champagne") summer 1981 number one R&B hit "I'm in Love," her number one R&B hit "Love Come Down," "Don't Hide Our Love," and "Get Loose," as well as hits by Lillo Thomas. Laurence and Jackson attended school and church together at Harlem's White Rock Baptist Church, which is where the duo met in the '70s. Laurence had been taught piano by a fellow church member Valerie Simpson of the hit songwriting team Ashford and Simpson. Laurence started a group, Laurence Jones Ensemble, which included Jackson, and they performed in New York-area clubs. By the '80s, both Laurence and Jackson were working for manager Beau Higgins' Hush Productions. Laurence had written Hush signee Melba Moore's "Love's Comin' at Ya" (number five R&B, summer 1982), "Keepin' My Lover Satisfied," and "Love Me Right" and would go on to co-write with Ondrea Dawkins-Duverney the enchanting ballad "I'm Not Gonna Let You Go." Jackson was one of Moore's background singers. He also sang on demos of Laurence's songs. By fall 1982, Jackson had signed as a Hush artist and began recording his debut album. Laurence wrote a swaying ballad, "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)," especially for Jackson and played keyboards and programmed drums on the track. Also on the date was bassist Timmy Allen, guitarist Mike "Dino" Campbell, and background vocalist Reggie King. Huggins got Jackson a record deal with Capitol Records, the same label Melba Moore was signed to. "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)" became an instant smash, staying at number one R&B for six weeks on Billboard's charts during summer 1985. The album, Rock Me Tonight, went platinum, hitting number one R&B, number ten pop in summer 1985. Laurence produced a cover of Prince's "Do Me Baby" for fellow Hush signee and Capitol recording artist Meli'sa Morgan. The ballad parked at number one R&B for three weeks in early 1986. Laurence co-wrote "Tasty Love" with Freddie Jackson, which held the number one R&B position for four weeks in late 1986. A week earlier Jackson was in the number one R&B spot on a duet with Melba Moore, "A Little Bit More." "Tasty Love" was Jackson's fourth number one R&B single included on his platinum LP, Just Like the First Time, number one R&B. Another single from the album, "Jam Tonight" was another Laurence/Jackson song and years earlier was one of the songs that got the attention of Melba Moore during one of Jackson's club appearances. She then hired Jackson as a background vocalist. "Jam Tonight" jumped to number one R&B in summer 1987 and became a steppers classic. In late 1988, Laurence produced Jackson's eighth number one R&B hit "Hey Lover" written by singer Keith Washington (number one R&B hit "Missing You," "Candlelight and You") and Sonny Moore. The smooth number was on Jackson's gold number one R&B LP Don't Let Love Slip Away. Other Laurence/Jackson hits were "Do Me Again" (Laurence/Humphrey/Jones/Dash), a number one R&B hit in early 1991, and "Main Course," a number two R&B hit from spring 1991 (from the LP Do Me Again). For former Broadway star and hit recording artist Stephanie Mills, Laurence produced and co-wrote with Timmy Allen the chugging "(You're Putting) A Rush on Me," giving the singer her third number one R&B hit in fall 1987. The single with the instrumental version on the flip made it to number 85 pop and was included on her gold album If I Were Your Woman. Laurence had several hits with Brooklyn singer/Capitol recording artist Lillo Thomas: "(You're A) Good Girl," "Your Love's Got a Hold on Me," "(Can't Take Half) All of You" (a duet with Melba Moore), "Settle Down," "Sexy Girl" (Laurence/Timmy Allen), "I'm in Love" -- not the Evelyn King hit -- that went to number two R&B in spring 1987, and "Wanna Make Love (All Night Long)." With all of this success, Laurence was afforded the opportunity to become a recording artist. Signing with Capitol, Laurence's debut LP, the critically acclaimed Haven't You Heard, was released in late 1985. The first single, "She's Not a Sleaze," featured Freddie Jackson and Lillo Thomas and charted number 50 R&B in late 1985. Other singles for Laurence were "You Hooked Me," "Strung Out," "Make My Baby Happy," and "I Aint Wit It." Laurence also contributed to the soundtrack of the 1990 horror film Def By Temptation starring Kadeem Hardison of NBC-TV's Cosby Show spin-off A Different World. One of his songs, "Help Yourself to My Love," was recorded as a duet between Kashif and Kenny G.

Thanks to Donald Inks of ImusTruth for this wonderful reading by Sir Laurence Olivier. Donalds Words "I would like to share something with all of you...that is, unfortunately out of print...and unavailable anywhere. The following is from a recitation by the late Sir Laurence Olivier, from the musical: Dave Clark's "Time". It carries a message we all can learn from...and grow with. In retrospect...I believe Don Imus DID have a "life changing" experience after the firestorm that erupted...and being with the Rutgers team members, who, as Don Imus said...(not quoted verbatim)... nobody else was in that room (when he met with the team, and their families)...could know what pain was caused by my words... Choose your words wisely....". Laurence Olivier Born 1907 Died 1989
