You know you’re a true Old Schooler (and proud of it), when you remember watching the legendary Donnie Simpson host his BET show, “Video Soul.” That ’80s/’90s era was a beautiful time for music and everybody who was anybody in the R&B game, sat on the couch to chop it up with the brotha who damn near single-handedly put BET on the map back then. The ageless 69-year-old legend – or “DJ Green Eyes” as he’s also known as -was, and still is, a sex symbol for his female fans who now listen to him on his Washington D.C. radio show, “The Donnie Simpson Morning Show.” However, all fans of Donnie’s will be surprised to know that he actually has a TWIN brother! How the hell they kept this on the low for so many years deserves an award of it’s own, but nonetheless, they were successful at it…until now.

Meet Donnie Simpson’s Twin Sibling

Pretty sure the ladies are gonna love this one. Donnie Simpson has sporadically given his fraternal twin brother, Lonnie Simpson, a shout out in public throughout the years. Even though they’re super close and ‘shared a womb’ together, as Donnie stated, they clearly have totally different opinions about being in the spotlight. Despite showing love to his brother with random public shout-outs, rarely has Donnie ever shown a photo of Lonnie- presumably because Lonnie isn’t attracted to the limelight, like his twin is.

We, here at ILOSM, have known about Donnie’s twin for many years now, but actually getting a photo that we could share of him, was like pulling teeth. No worries though family, we finally have a pic of the two together and here it is: Meet Lonnie Simpson…

Same Birthdays, Totally Different Careers

Donnie and his twin, Lonnie, not only share different views about the famous life, they also chose two totally different career paths. Donnie loves being a radio personality- he’s been one for approximately 54 years. However, his brother had a different calling-Lonnie Simpson is a preacher and has been one for many years as well. Yep, folks, Lonnie’s career is a far cry from the days of his twin, Donnie, interviewing the likes of the late, great Whitney Houston during her “Saving All My Love For You” era…or Bobby Brown, during his “My Prerogative” bad boy phase.

Nevertheless, Donnie respects the hell outta his twin bro’ and his religious calling to the fullest, as was displayed in his prior Twitter post…

Donnie Simpson: “My twin brother Lonnie is the greatest person I have ever met! Any situation he faces gives him one way to react. That book [the Bible] gives my brother the preacher the answer.”

Even though the Simpson twins’ interests are vastly different, their brotherly love is unconditional, which Donnie also displayed proved on their January 30th birthday this year, when he wrote this:

“I swear it seems like I just celebrated my birthday a month ago. It’s amazing how fast they come now. It’s like when they try to show the passage of time in movies by having the gentle wind blow the pages of a day calendar. That wind is now a hurricane. 😂

I’m so blessed to pass these years with the guy I came into this joint with though. Although I’m 53 minutes and 6 seconds older than my twin brother, it’s him who lights the way for me. I thank God for him, his heart and his grace.

Happy Birthday Lonnie!! 🎂”

Donnie’s & Lonnie’s Other Siblings

There are six Simpson kids in total. They grew up in their parents’ (Dorothy and Calvin Simpson) Detroit, MI record store, Simpson Records, which remained opened for well over four decades. Given their upbringing, at least one of them were destined to be in the music business one way or another. However, it turns out, that three Simpson siblings ended up taking a music business route. Donnie became a radio personality by age 15; his brother, Calvin Jr. owned a chain of wholesale record stores, called Bad Records; and their other brother, Harry became a DJ in Detroit.

When Donnie became the in-demand TV host of “Video Soul,” his mother, Dorothy, confessed that she had a love for music but had no clue, at that time, what exactly he was doing:

“I remember records, eight tracks, four tracks, cassettes, all that. But I also remember thinking: ‘What’s a video?’” laughs Mrs. Simpson.

Beautiful memories from Mrs. Simpson, and a true sign of the times indeed.

Who knew Donnie Simpson (from “Video Soul”) had a son? His name is Donnie Simpson Jr. and he’s 48-years-old. At one point Donnie Jr. followed in his Pop’s footsteps and worked in the radio industry as a producer on his dad’s radio show on WPGC in Washington D.C.. After WPGC made the decision to attract a younger audience, Donnie Sr. and Donnie Jr. said ‘Peace out’ to the station in 2010 and that’s when Donnie Jr. decided to follow his other passion and so far business has been booming for the brotha and his wife.

DONNIE SIMPSON JR. OWNS POPULAR BAKERY/CAFE

Donnie Simpson Jr. started his own bakery/cafe in Shaw, D.C. (a suburb of Washington, D.C.) called Uprising Muffin Co. and word on the old school curb is it’s a hotspot for pastry treats, lunch specials, and coffee. It officially opened in 2014 and Donnie Jr. and his wife are enjoying every moment of it. It’s so popular that a few years ago, someone famous showed up and brought TV cameras with them…

HILLARY CLINTON AND DONNIE SIMPSON JR. ON THE TODAY SHOW

Even Hillary Clinton loves Donnie Jr.’s bakery/cafe. Earlier this year she made a stop during her campaign trail in D.C. and popped up at his cafe, along with the D.C. mayor. Clinton also brought “The Today Show’s” cameras with her and after getting that national media attention, Donnie Jr. was like ‘Good lookin’ out Clinton!’ (not in so many words though)

DONNIE SIMPSON JR. & WIFE

Donnie Jr, and his wife, Katie, have been married since 2006 and they have two adorable children together

DONNIE SIMPSON SR. COULDN’T BE MORE PROUD OF HIS SON

In 2013, Donnie Sr. told Washington Post he couldn’t be more proud of Jr., whom he calls D.J.:

“D.J. has that entrepreneurial spirit that I always wish I had,” Simpson Sr. said. “I’ve told him so many times that I was always jealous when people would come by my house, Smith & Sons Plumbers, or whatever — they had businesses they could pass down to their kids. For me, you can’t pass down popularity. To see his dream become reality. It’s been very rewarding.”

Meet The Simpsons’ Son

A while back we introduced all of you, in our I Love Old School Music fam,’ to Donnie and Pam Simpson’s son, Donnie Jr., who is also a well known a pastry chef and the owner of Uprising Muffin Co. in Washington, D.C..

At one point Donnie Jr. followed in his Pop’s footsteps and worked in the radio industry as a producer on his dad’s radio show on WPGC in Washington D.C.. After WPGC made the decision to attract a younger audience, Donnie Sr. and Donnie Jr. said ‘Peace out’ to the station in 2010 and that’s when Donnie Jr. decided to follow his other passion and so far business has been booming for the brotha and his wife.

Meet The Simpson’s Daughter

Donnie and Pam’s beautiful daughter, Dawn, is a 2nd grade school teacher.

Meet Their Multi-Racial Family

Introducing the blended Simpson fam’…

What we noticed, after Donnie shared a photo family pic online, is that some of his fans were apparently caught off guard after learning that both of his children married outside of their race.

Dawn and her husband also welcomed a new baby boy in January 2020. Donnie shared the precious photo below and captioned it with:

“My daughter, Dawn & her husband, John, blessed us with our 6th grand baby today. It’s their 3rd.
It’s a beautiful boy and his name is Miles Hudson. With a name like Miles, you know he’s cool.
Thank you Lord for blessing my family so. #BabyMiles💙 #blessed #proudgrandy”

Donnie Jr. and his wife, Katie have been happily married for years…

They also share three children…

Donnie Jr.’s and Dawn’s spouses are White, as you can see, and some fans have expressed their shock:

One fan wrote, “Ummmmm…. well…..I guess the kids had a preference. All in all…nice family pic.”

Another fan questioned, “Who are all these white ppl?”

And then another followed with the same question, “Wait, is this his family????”

It’s understandable why many may be surprised at Donnie’s family, given that he and his wife, Pam, have been like a pillar of #BlackLove for so many decades. However, the thing that cannot be ignored is that they all clearly love each other, beyond color lines.

That fact is also evident by the touching online tribute Donnie Simpson paid to his daughter on her wedding day in 2015. His post captured the essence of a father coming to terms with the fact that his little girl ain’t so little anymore. It also captured the essence of what transpires after the realization that when we pull back the outward layers of skin tones, race and all of the unfortunate social issues that come with it, there is a human element that lies within.

[KK-POST id=”87927″ title=”Who Knew “Video Soul” Legend Donnie Simpson Has A Twin Brother? Must See…” desc=”He & his twin brother sure kept this quiet back in the day, but his female fans are gonna love this…
“]

Now, don’t get me wrong, it is oftentimes way too difficult to merely get to that pure, human element without seeing race. Why? Because the fact of the matter is that there are far too many injustices stemming from slavery, that still plagues our society today, but it’s still cool to witness the human element of color-less love in all of it’s shades when we get the opportunity to. Thus, we leave y’all with Donnie’s tribute to his daughter and son-in law:

The legendary Donnie Simpson is known for being many things, including the former host of BET’s “Video Soul” show back in the day, as well as a decades-long radio personality, which he still is today. Behind the scenes though, he’s known as a true family man, with a wife of 45 years, Pam Simpson; their two children; several grandkids; and in-laws.

It’s his love of family that adds to the mass appeal he’s maintained for decades, as an honorable celebrity both on and off camera. Following the revelation of his family photo however, it’s also something that has now become a great conversation starter for many of his fans.

The post Who Knew “Video Soul” Legend Donnie Simpson Has A Twin Brother? Must See… appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

When most of us think of Chris Tucker, two things probably come to mind- his signature high pitched voice he has and one of his classic one liners from “Friday,” such as “You got knocked the F**K out!” The thing that many of us don’t necessarily think about when it comes to Chris, is his pretty extensive dating history with some famous and not so famous women. But no worries ILOSM fam,’ that’s about to change today, because we’re bringing you an update on the Tucker’s dating game these days. It seems that things have changed, ever since we last told y’all that he was engaged to the niece of the legendary “Video Soul” host/radio personality, Donnie Simpson.

Engagement Canceled

In 2014, word spread that Tucker began dating, Cynne Simpson, Donnie Simpson’s niece. Cynne somewhat followed in her uncle’s footsteps and made a great career for herself in front of the camera, interviewing others. She’s a news anchor in Atlanta on Fox5, which is how she actually met Chris Tucker, when she had to interview him for one of her news segments.

By 2015, Chris and Cynne were engaged and they’re relationship seemed really promising. At that time, Cynne was rockin’ that big rock on her left finger and Chris was smiling from ear to ear, with her on his arm at red carpet events and such. Unfortunately, their engagement didn’t last long and they never made it to the alter. Both of them have now moved on and Chris has another new beautiful woman on his arm these days…

Meet Tucker’s Current Woman

Introducing y’all to Chris Tucker’s new woman, Jarneen Chaney Brown. As you can see she is definitely a
banger too. Jarneen is an actress from Atlanta and owns her own marketing firm, Atlanta Injury Centers LLC, which specializes in marketing services primarily for attorneys and law firms.

Tucker first went public with Jarneen in 2016, apparently shortly after he and Cynne Simpson parted ways. By 2017, he even showed up at a red carpet event with his mother on one side and the lovely Jarneen on the other. So, we clearly know the love is real once he takes her home to Momma.

Chris and Jarnee apparently are still rock solid in their relationship in 2018, because in April of this year, they were spotted arm-in-arm, marching alongside civil rights legends and actors for the ‘MLK50 Forward March’ in Memphis, TN. The march was in honor of the 50th anniversary of the iconic Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BhLHZA2B53a/

One interesting thing I couldn’t help but notice about Chris and his boo-thang, is that he seems to crop her outta photos on his social media pages for some reason. How do I know that? Because Jarneen posts some of the same photos as Chris does onto her social media pages…the only difference is she’s actually included in the photos’ shots. That means nothing though, because clearly the two of them are loving their time together. So maybe Tucker’s cropping stunts are just an indication that he’s tired of making his relationship status public. However, IF that is the case, he may wanna have a quick chit-chat with his lady, so they can be on the same page when it comes to that.

Anywho, the good thing is that they seem happy together and Chris definitely landed a beautiful, intelligent woman.

On a side note, it is still a bummer that Tucker’s engagement to Cynne, nor his prior relationship with singer, India.Arie, didn’t last. Hopefully Chris and Jarneen are in this for the long haul…they make a cool couple…but only time will tell.
