Music From the Motion Picture

 Black Nativity



RCA Inspiration released the soundtrack to Fox Searchlight Pictures holiday musical drama “Black Nativity” on November 5th.

A new film adaptation of Langston Hughes’ stage drama “Black Nativity”comes complete with a soundtrack album that features performances by an all-star cast of vocalists, including Mary J. Blige, Nas and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson, whose song “Test of Faith”premieres today on Speakeasy, along with the previously released track “Be Grateful.”

Hudson in the film plays a single mother raising Langston (Jacob Latimore), who heads from Baltimore to New York to spend Christmas with his minister uncle and aunt, played by Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett, respectively. Chafing under his uncle’s strict rules, Langston sets out for home, and life lessons ensue.


Jennifer Hudson in a scene from “Black Nativity.”
From the sound of “Test of Faith,” Hudson’s character has already learned a few of her own. She sings the understated R&B ballad (written by executive producer Raphael Saadiq and Taura Stinson) with restrained power, wrapping her beautiful voice around wrenching lyrics as she builds to a ringing climax two-thirds of the way through the tune.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television....

These days, Raif, Rhonda’s 5-year-old son (with her pianist husband Rodney Kendrick), is likely to get onstage and bust some dance moves during her ...
