On the next “Life After” Season 5 Episode 3 “Shirley Murdock: Life After As We Lay” Shirley Murdock shines. Born May 22, 1957, she is an American R&B singer-songwriter who is best known for her 1986 R&B hit single “As We Lay.” A song that surprised many and became her claim to fame. She is also known for her vocals on Zapp and Roger’s hit single, “Computer Love.” When you hear Shirley Murdock’s voice, you will remember.

Ever wondered what happened to some of your favorite celebrities? “Life After” investigates their lives after major turning points in their careers. Did they succumb to their tragedies or did they rise above them? Whether public or private, triumphant or tragic — something happened that ultimately defines how we remember stars like Christopher ‘Kid’ Reid, Bell Biv DeVoe, Eva Marcille, Al Reynolds, Jamiee Foxworth, Taimak, Daryl ‘Chill’ Mitchell and Omarosa.

“Life After” tells their stories from their perspectives, and they’re not holding anything back. Tune in to catch Shirley Murdock Wednesday night at 8p.m. on TV One.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
