Recording Artist Bobby Tinsley Pens Title Song 'Colored Girl' for NBA Star's Record Label

NBA Star Doug Christie's Wife Jackie Makes History by Launching Three Products Simultaneously; Christie Premieres Book, Song and Clothing Line Inspired By Her 'Colored Girl' Movement This May

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- R&B Sensation Bobby Tinsley debuts the title song, 'COLORED GIRL' for NBA Star Doug Christie and his multi-talented author/designer wife Jackie Christie's record label Jean Rah Fya Records. Inspired by Jackie's new book Proud To Be A Colored Girl and her new 100% organic, eco-friendly clothing line also carrying the 'COLORED GIRL' brand, the song is being released on May 9, 2009. Christie's new book will also be released on May 12, 2009. The song is the third component of the designer's 'COLORED GIRL' brand.

"Jackie Christie is not only making a difference, while also making history with her new line, book and song, which was created to inspire and empower women around the world, but she is also removing the stigma from the word 'colored girl' by stating that all women -- no matter their nationality -- have color to their skin and it is something to be proud of," said Bobby Tinsley.

Tinsley was chosen by the label to write, produce, and record the title song 'COLORED GIRL' because of his multi-talented song writing, producing and recording skills as well as his intense desire to share in Jackie Christie's philanthropic endeavors and mission. Through her COLORED GIRL franchise, Jackie seeks to empower and inspire women around the world, as well as provide all proceeds to aid impoverished families and single mothers everywhere.

Colored Girl (CG) is a movement born from Jackie's desire to unite women from all walks of life and from all nationalities and cultures. Jackie Christie inspires to remove the stigma that comes with the term "Colored Girl." The age old stereotyping of African American women has gone on practically unchallenged for centuries, and would probably continue except Christie is ready to help America change its way of thinking and feeling about the term 'Colored Girl'. The song's title is indicative of her believe that all women are beautiful.

"I'm extremely honored to have been selected to write and produce, as well as record her title song for this positive and inspirational project," Tinsley states.
