Sixty Music Honors T.K. Carter With Show Some Love

A Collaborative Song Honors A Creative Life, While Candid Archival Footage Preserves A Separate Personal Moment

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, September 21, 2026: Sixty Music honors the life and creative spirit of actor, comedian, and writer Thomas Kent Carter, known professionally as T.K. Carter, with Show Some Love, a collaborative song written by Harold Brown, T.K. Carter, Anthony Wilmore, and Ray Brown.

The song began during an informal jam session at the home of Harold Brown, the founding drummer of WAR. Carter joined Harold Brown, Anthony Wilmore, and Ray Brown in a room where there was no formal agenda, only people making music together. The writing and performance grew from that shared moment.

Years later, Ray returned to footage from the session and heard the emotion, rhythm, and intention that had been captured in the room. He helped shape those elements into the finished recording while preserving the collaborative spirit of the original performance.

Carter built a career that stretched across six decades and moved easily between comedy and drama. His work included the films The Thing, Runaway Train, and Space Jam, the television series Punky Brewster and The Sinbad Show, and his acclaimed dramatic role in HBO’s The Corner. His experience and ear for performance also supported other artists behind the scenes.

Show Some Love preserves the energy of four people creating together. It stands as a work of remembrance, creativity, friendship, and respect.

The separate archival video presented below comes from Ray Brown’s personal collection and documents a different candid moment with Carter.

Show Some Love is available through Sixty Music on major streaming services. Sixty Music is a DBA of Ray Producer, Inc.

Candid Archival Video

Impressions, Unscripted

Ray Brown knew T.K. Carter long before this footage was recorded. When Ray was a child, Carter visited the Brown family home and spent time with Ray’s father, Harold Brown. Ray remembers Carter entertaining the family with impressions, including Donald Duck, and showing the talent and drive that would later carry him into television and film. Ray also remembers his father helping Carter make an early industry connection that the family regarded as his first break.

Years later, Ray briefly managed Carter and began filming candid material intended to show the performer and the personality behind the work. This video came from one of those ordinary days. After a professional outing, Carter drove Ray home. Before getting out of the car, Ray asked him to stay for a moment and perform a few impressions for the camera. There was no set, no script, and no plan.

Carter moved through impressions of Barack Obama, Sidney Poitier, Jesse Jackson, and Bernie Mac. A casual request became a compact showcase of timing, observation, generosity, and warmth.

“The footage came from an ordinary ride that turned into something worth keeping. T.K. dropped me at home, and before I got out I asked him to give me a few impressions. There was no setup and no plan. It was simply T.K. being funny, generous, and completely himself.”
