Check out this press about Maxwell coming to NOLA. It speaks about a performance he did a decade ago.

Maxwell may have rediscovered his muse during a long hiatus
By Keith Spera, The Times-Picayune | October 16, 2009

During his layoff, Maxwell rediscovered his muse. He launched his comeback by crooning Al Green’s “Simply Beautiful” at the 2008 BET Music Awards. His honey-toned falsetto was undiminished.

To his surprise, he discovered that much of his audience was still waiting for him. Last fall, he booked a tour without a new album to promote; most dates sold out, and reviews were solid. In July, his “BLACKsummers’night, ” the first album in a proposed trilogy, entered Billboard’s Top 200 chart at No. 1. For now at least, he seems recommitted to his career.

At that 1999 Saenger show, Maxwell’s substantial ego — a necessity for a man in his profession — nearly overwhelmed his performance. READ MORE

I don’t know, call me psycho but I just love this man! Like for real!

My adoration has very little to do with his physical attributes (though he is easy on the eyes). Rather, it’s when I read things like this article which cites that “he was on his knees praying in his dressing room.” Stuff like that just re-affirms my adoration every time.

I held a fairly high position at a Fortune 500 firm and as a young, short, Black Haitian female many of colleagues were not pleased with my presence at the office. Let me tell you, there were many times that I would just be holed up in a conference room on my knees praying — just to cope.

Well I’m proud to say that it’s been almost 2 years since I was FIRED from that job. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Sometimes, you just need to recalibrate your system, get your head screwed on right and the get back in the game.

What can I tell ya.

Love Maxwell,

Jessica
