SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 27



	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 

recognize recording artist KEM on the release of his second 

album, KEM Album II; and



	WHEREAS, With songs about the human condition, KEM brings 

his own life experiences to bear in such songs as "Heaven,"

"Each Other," and his single, "I Can't Stop Loving You"; fellow 

Motown musician Stevie Wonder performs on the song "You Might 

Win"; and



	WHEREAS, KEM financed, recorded, and produced his debut 

album, Kemistry, while working as a waiter and playing in a Top 40 

wedding band; after he was signed by Motown, the label rereleased 

Kemistry, and the album went on to sell over 500,000 copies; and



	WHEREAS, KEM believes that his career's success is related 

to his discovery of his spirituality; he feels the long journey 

from his humble beginnings in Detroit to his accomplishments as a 

recording artist is a testament to the fact that he is a performer 

now at ease with himself; now, therefore, be it



	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,

79th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate KEM on 

the release of his second album, KEM Album II, and wish him 

success in all his future endeavors; and, be it further
