Blanco Brown, the singer behind The Git Up and Do-Si-Do, was injured Monday night in a head-on collision near his Atlanta home.
His music label BBR Music Group says that he “suffered significant injuries and was transported to a local hospital where he underwent a 12-hour surgery to address those traumas. Additional surgeries are expected as he currently rests in the ICU. Blanco, his family and his friends ask for your prayers during this time.”
Last month, the Grammy-nominee posted a video of a woman, who was unable to walk after a car accident in 2019. That woman listened to The Git Up every day and promised him that she would once again dance that happy tune. A year later, she was doing just that. I pray that he will be back to Do-Si-Do again in the near future. We need more artists like him who create happy music.
I first got to know Brown because of his take on the #BottlecapChallenge when he tried to remove the cap like Mariah Carey did. I did not know his music before that. I was so impressed by his viral video that I started listening to his songs, and I haven’t stopped.
Git, I mean get, to know his music today. I promise you will be line dancing with him as I have been. And I am a girl from NYC who doesn’t line dance.
