\u201cThrough These Eyes\u201d takes us back to where it all began, his beloved hometown of Detroit. Joining the staff at WJLB radio at 15 years old, affectionately dubbed, Donnie “The Love Bug\u201d Simpson, quickly gained popularity with his sultry voice, warm smile, and piercing green eyes. Relocating after 15 years to Washington, D.C., he continued dominating ratings and captivating audiences, which led to his most memorable role in 1983 as the host of BET\u2019s primetime music video show, Video Soul solidifying his role as a pop culture icon.<\/p>\n
Over several decades, Donnie has interviewed the biggest stars in the world, including Stevie Wonder, Prince,\u00a0Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, David Bowie, Janet Jackson, James Brown, Sting, Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Madonna, Smokey Robinson, President Clinton, Tom Hanks, Barry White, and so many others. Donnie has been inducted into the BET Walk of Fame and the R&B Music Hall of Fame. The only non-musician honored at that point.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m always labeled as trailblazer. To this day, so many artists talk about what it meant to sit on the couch with me, the effect that it had on their careers, and it\u2019s a blessing to have been in that position,\u201d says Simpson. \u201cThe most wonderful compliment I get is when people tell me they feel like they know me.\u00a0They do know me; they know my spirit. I\u2019m the same dude all the time. 24\/7, always filled with hope and love, I\u2019m Donnie. That\u2019s my story.\u201d<\/p>\n
