I have to admit, I have watched several 80s stars videos from the reunion several times. The Stephanie Mills performance was especially good. A lot of the 80s stars have a huge fan base and don’t get invited to tour the states often. The Family Reunion is a great place to take us back.. Looks like this year the star list is a bit more current but a good one nonetheless.

Mississippi Damned is a new movie based on a true story about three poor black children in rural Mississippi that reap the consequences of their family's abuse addiction and violence. Many of the songs in the movie are from Malaco.
Music Supervisor, Dan Wilcox, was asked a lot of the music came from a company in Mississippi can you talk to me about that decision and what do you think it adds to the film? He said, "My primary concern with approaching this movie was authenticity. My goal was for someone from a small-town in Mississippi to be watching the film and say "how the hell did they know about THAT song?". I had heard of the label Malaco Records because as a DJ I had a couple of their 12"'s in my collection, knew it was a label in Mississippi. When I mentioned the label in our first music meeting, Tina remembered commercials the label would run on local TV in her home town when she was growing up, so I felt we might be on to something. But upon doing some research I discovered Malaco is still a rather large independent label with tons of authentic blues, soul, hip-hop & gospel music from the region with big-timers like Z.Z. Hill, Dorothy Moore, Latimore & Mahalia Jackson... artists who ultimately ended up in the film."
