He was behind Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out", David Bowie's "Let's Dance", Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and many more. Now, he reflects on decades of hit writing, collaborating, and the meaning of music in his life.

Standup comedy from Donald Glover. Glover is a star of NBC's Community, and a member of the sketch comedy group Derrick Comedy. Their film, "Mystery Team," will be released on DVD May 25th.
Yeah, I've seen of a few of his videos on youtube and the guy is a breathe of fresh air in the comedy world. The guy has done some hilarious sketches (including one where he rambles on about idol white and other useless stuff). I just hope after college he has a good career ahead of him.

Glover is great on that show. Nice to see a good comedy given a chance to grow into something special. Too bad community college is only two years.
