All About The Music......

Every once in awhile I get a fever, a fever for new music. Over the past two weeks I had the fever for some old soul music. Some Al Green, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Bobby Womack, and Mr. Curtis Mayfield. Why, well I'll tell you it's a few things to tell the truth. One was a Mariah Carey song mentioning listening to Bobby Womack on the radio, that just sparked my interest in it all, but the spark was fueled by flames. Flames from Napster, I started using Napster on their 7 day free trail. During those seven days I managed to download many songs, especially Bobby Womack. I listened for that week to Bobby and then realized I can burn the songs I got, so I got rid of all the songs I downloaded and reverted back to my old faithful Kazaa.
Bobby was just the beginning, while scrolling trough the sound track of Roll Bounce a semi-new movie with Bow wow and some other people, I heard a song that hit me so hard I had to get it. The song was Lovely day, by Bill Withers. Now the spark is a flame. I said damn, who's that, I want to have a lovely day everyday, so I downloaded it. If your one of those people against downloading music, I would say, "Fuck you!", but I won't. There is more important things to worry about other than artists getting royalties. Well the dead ones I'm sure don't mind, the living ones don't need my money to go shopping for diamonds from the Jews. Anyway the flame was lit and I got a few Bill Withers songs, then I remembered Al Green, downloaded some Al. So far I had downloaded hours of Bobby, Bill and Al, had a few days of some good soul music.
Then one day on the walk home, I started thinking about the music I got, and the Curtis Mayfield popped in my mind. I got home that night and spent it downloading Curtis, Marvin Gaye and some others. After getting some Curtis Mayfield, I came across this song from one of my favorite movies, "Bed it like Beckham", heard of it? Well there was this song at the end, man did I love it, I love it soo much I watched the credits of the movies just to listen to it. Guess who's song it was, Curtis Mayfield "Move on up". That song is now added to my morning music session. Nothing but soul I heard every morning and evening when I got home. Now my music collection had grown more than I thought.

I always thought I was born ten years later then I should have. I really love music from the 70's and 80's more then music that's out now. Not sure what my next music spark will be, but I'm sure the fire will burn bright. The flame that is burning now for soul I don't think will die out anytime soon. Peace!!!!
