Summary: HBO is also a network for boxing. I can't recall who was fighting but I got the call that Lennox Lewis was attending and wanted to host a really short meet & greet out in Vegas. It's a long way and a lot of pay for a DJ to do 2 hours so HBO rang and asked me if I could help out with music. I was told that Lennox was into what's known as Neo-Soul, especially Maxwell and Jill Scott, here's the mix. The Rebirth - This Journey In Kindred - Far Away Toni Toni Tone - It Never Rains In Southern California Mary J Blige - Message In Our Music Erykah Badu - Bag Lady Les Nubiannes - Makeda (Spinna Mix) Jill Scott - It's Love Kelis & Andre 3000 - Millionaire Isley Brothers - Between The Sheets Jaguar Wright - The Country SOng Erykah Badu - Back In The Day Maxwell - Dancewitme Davina - Can't Help It Peven Everett - Testing Me DKD - Butter Angel Ty - Groovement Jill Scott - Gimmie Maxwell - Now/At The Party Angie Stone & Omar - Be Thankful For What You Got I did get to do a couple of boxing gigs, remembering most the Holyfield/Lewis fight at the Garden in 1999. Wow. http://www.hbo.com/boxing/features/article/heavyweight-title-unification-a-history.html
