Jazz Great Waymon Tisdale Fights Cancer

Jazz great,and former NBA star Waymon Tisdale has cancer.As a result of the cancer he has lost his leg ,and has stopped touring temporarily.Tisdale you might remember was an All American at Oklahoma in the 1980's and was the second pick in the 1985 NBA draft.Tisdale earned a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics and then turned pro. The NBA made him the second choice in the 1985 draft ,behind Patrick Ewing.Tisdale went on to have a successful 12 year career with the Indiana Pacers,Sacramento Kings,and Phoenix Suns.Tisdale retired from basketball in 1997,before he did that he started his jazz career by releasing his first of many cd's .The appropriately titled "Power Forward " which climbed to number four in the jazz charts and receiving substantial cross over appeal in the R & B charts. Waymon 's greatest accomplishment is his relationship with Christ and his family .Let us pray for Waymon and his family.The Lord is good and is working a testimony through Waymon.

Waymon has so much good music.
The R& B influence is there but is doesn't over power the jazz base. I always knew you had good taste.
