In blues, soul, and R&B music men like Bobby Womack, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, and Al Green were noted specialists in a lyrical aesthetic known as “begging”. “Please, baby please” this, or “please, baby please” that. In my generation, the preeminent “begger” was Keith Sweat. Well, Keith ain’t got NUTHIN on this. Televangelist Benny Hinn has posted a plea for $2 million in donations on his website. Hinn says he accumulated the deficit in the past few months because offerings at some international appearances did not cover expenses.
