Black Love: Tamela and David Mann Edition
Friday, August 8, 2008 at 9:54AM The Blogmother
We take a temporary pause from all the mayhem and foolishness to put some Black Love on display. I know CNN wants y'all to believe that we have the suckiest lives on planet Earth, but there are some folk sout there who managed to snatch happiness fromthe jaws of despair. Soledad Obrien must have overlooked these two. Another blogger wrote a side-splittingly funny post about one of the actors who frequently appear in Tyler Perry theatrical productions and got me to thinking about one of my favorite singers, Tamela Mann so I YouTubed her and found this clip of Tamela and her husband David talking about the first time they met and what is like to work together. They made me smile. I see couples like this everywhere EXCEPT Television.

Its official, Neicy Nash is a star.
That was a cute.
That was so sweet and cute. Black-on-black love is not dead.
David and Tamela Mann are the quintessential black CHRISTIAN couple. They make you believe in Black Love again.
I love the Manns and have ever since I first saw them singing with Kirk Franklin! A positive, loving, Christian, black couple ... You gotta love them!
Very very nice, lovely to see that and they have a great sense of humour!
The Manns are a great couple. Here are my two favorite videos of them as Brown and Cora...shopping at the thrift store:
