Bio
Central Texas-based songwriter who is dedicated to the creation, development and propagation of positive music with literary value. He is primarily a lyricist and songwriter, but his ultimate goal is to develop and promote songwriters, singers, musicians and entertainers with similar interest, values and goals. While serving in the military (Air Force and Army), Old Soldier performed with R&B mogul Lamont Boles and Sinbad during the Air Force Strategic Air Command Talent Showcases at McConnell, AFB in Witchita, Kansas. He was also privileged to perform with talented R&B producer Jimmy Simpson at Western Kentucky University, his alma mater. A trumpeter in his youth, Old Soldier discovered in later years that he possesed a rare songwriting gift and talents which he was unaware of during his formative years. He possessed the ability to write poetry, songs, prose, stories and articulate his thoughts through entertaining though enlightening literary verse. Subsequently, he has become the consummate songwriter and lyricist, compiling an amazing untapped catalog of songs which span numerous genres. With these, he intends to entertain and enlighten the general public while addressing social problems and facilitating cross-cultural communications. While Old Soldier is primarily an R&B songwiter, he also writes songs for several other genres and considers himself the quintessential ethnomusicologist. .."If This Is A Dream"...... .. .. .. .. .. .... .............................. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........Free Marquee Comments and Layouts.......... .. .. ......

I recently finshed "Queen of Soul" an tribute to the incomparable Aretha Franklin. I also recently posted "A Song for Donna" a tribute to the late great Donna Summer.The music for both were produced by Al Fraser for SmoothBeatsOnly.Com. I Wrote the lyrics to Nippy "A Song for Whitney", which references 11 of her greatest hits. Whitney fans can surely relate to the masterful lyrics which honors our dearly departed diva.The music was produced by Al Fraser for SmoothBeatsOnly.Com. I wrote "Ebony Queens" many, many years ago. It was a poem, which I recited to the tune of "In All My Wildest Dreams", a joe Sample masterpiece. Given the many standing ovations and accolades, I should have recorded it long before now. The music was also produced by Al Fraser for SmoothBeatsOnly.Com. "Test of Time" music is a tribute to Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Aretha, the Beatles, B.B. King, Elvis and Jimmy Hendrix. The music was also produced by Al Fraser for SmoothBeatsOnly.Com "Show Our Soldiers Love" is a tribute to our men and women in uniform and a dedication to express our recognition and appreciation for their service. The music is a DJ Emmon remix of Sade's "Soldier of Love". I re-wrote the lyrics to enhance its literary value and substance. "We've Come So Far" is a tribute to our first family. It is a demo which was written, performed and produced by Paul Fleming aka Old Soldier using a Roland XP-80 Workstation and BOSS BR-1180 Digital Recorder."The Dream III" is a version of "If This is A Dream". It was written by Old Soldier, sang by SLY a gifted Louisville, Kentucky vocalsit and co-produced by Old Soldier's son Hip Hop producer Morocco of Henderson, Kentucky and "Big Coola" an Evansville, Indiana affiliate. The R&B version which follows is an Old Soldier project which adds fresh new lyrics to the nucleus of an old hit "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye. "I Wanna Know", a tribute to R&B and Rock & Roll legends, is a demo which was written, performed and produced by Paul Fleming aka Old Soldier using a Roland XP-80 Workstation, trumpet and BOSS BR-1180 Digital Recorder. "Red, White & Blue Americans" was written and produced by Old Soldier, who also played keyboards and sang vocals. Justin Fielder is featured on acoustic guitar. All songs demonstrate the literary value of the material and Old Soldier's vision, direction, values and potential.
