"Myers was born on May 24, 1967 in Jamaica the son of Eulahlee Lee, a nurse, and Clifford Vincent Myers, a machine technician. His family moved to New York  in the early 1970s, where he was raised.

Heavy D & the Boyz were the first group signed to Uptown Records; their debut, Living Large, was released in 1987. The album was a commercial success, though Big Tyme was a breakthrough that included four hits. 

Heavy D & the Boyz gained even more fame by singing the theme song for the television program In Living Color and also MADtv, and Heavy D performed the rap on Michael Jackson's hit single "Jam" as well as sister Janet Jackson's hit single "Alright". Heavy D then began focusing on his acting, appearing in various television shows before returning the music charts with Nuttin' But Love. After appearing in the off-Broadway play Riff Raff at Circle Repertory Company, Heavy D returned to recording with the hit Waterbed Hev. In 1997, Heavy D collaborated with B.B. King on his duets album Deuces Wild rapping in the song "Keep It Coming." Heavy D was referred to in the song "Juicy" by the Notorious B.I.G., and appeared in his music video for "One More Chance".

Heavy D performed at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards in October 2011. "   (wikipedia)

It was with great sadness that we learnt of HeavyD's death.  There has been a lot of buzz about his death and there were a lot of questions raised.  But according to the coroners report, he didn't die from poison or a heart attack rather it was a result of a respiratory failure.  Actually, Heavy D was someone who was very aware of health issues that could arise as a result of his weight  - he was over 300 pounds - but he took time out to exercise and according to a report that I read, he was actually exercising/running every day.  Something, which I find difficult to do on daily basis. Heavy D was one of the big guys (big pun, biggie small etc) of Hip Hop music that created an impact. Heavy D

mr big stuff

is it good to you

On a happier note , yesterday was movie night, got the opportunity to watch Money balls and Tower heist at the theatre.  Wow.!  Loved both of them and will be doing a review on one or both of them this weekend probably moneyballs.  Moneyballs  is not generally my kind of movie, it is very sporty documentary BUT  I enjoyed it. You do  not have to be a lover of sports with emphasis on baseball to watch or enjoy this movie.   Look out for the review. 

Today is the veteran's day in the United States - on this day , we remember our soldiers that have served in many wars protecting this country.  Happy Veterans day! 

Till next time

Have a great week and weekend.
