- About yourself
- My name is Arthur "Speq" Colden, and I have many years of diversified experience as a music/entertainment professional. Although I presently live in Detroit, I am a native Floridian (Born in Tampa and raised in Ocala). Throughout my career I have had many musical roles such as keyboardist, vocalist, songwriter, bandleader, arranger, and producer. I presently serve as keyboardist/vocalist for the Sun Messengers, with whom I have been performing for over 14 years. As a group we entertain at numerous public and private venues throughout the Midwest, and are seen regularly (for the last 12 seasons) on televised home games for the NBA basketball team, the Detroit Pistons. The Sun Messengers have also been featured on many locally and internationally-produced televised specials.
While a member of the Sun Messengers, I contributed to the group’s last released CD, "Late Night Cruise", which received rave reviews and two 1999 Detroit Music Awards. The CDs title cut, as well as several other tunes, was written and performed by me.
I also performed on internationally released albums by the legendary gospel groups, Clarence Fountain and The Original Five Blind Boys of Alabama (notably "A Soldier in the Army of the Lord " - Philadelphia International Records, re-issued in 2004) and Sam Butler (from the critically-acclaimed play, Gospel at Colonus) and the Butler Family. In addition to that, I have recently re-united with Clarence Fountain And Sam Butler on a project due to be released in spring of 2008 entitled, "It’s A Different World Now"
(www.MySpace.com/ClarenceFountainSamButler).
I have also had the pleasure of sharing the stage, and/or recording with, many outstanding and legendary talents in the R & B entertainment world including: O. V. Wright, Rufus Thomas, Z. Z. Hill, Ted Taylor, Eddie Floyd, Jimmie Bo Horne, comedians Clarence Blowfly Reid and Wildman Steve, Gene Dunlap, Lucky Peterson, Chick Willis and many others.

Sunday Blessings from my home to yours.
Today's decisions shape tomorrow's outcomes
That living each moment the best we can
Creates a harmonious life.
May we remember
By holding fast to integrity
Others see we are trustworthy.
When times are rough
May we remember to turn in
To our close and ready Source of comfort.
On New Year's and every day
May we remember that each new moment
Can be a fresh beginning.
And may we especially remember that
Personal peace preserved leads to
World peace, well deserved."
to say may all your prayers be answered this coming New Years.
Its time for a change so hold tight to your dreams and know that Jesus is the reason for the season.
So know you are in my prayers. Wishing you all the best my friend. Thank you for being my friend.
