As I sat in the car the other night waiting for my husband, I listened to the radio. They were doing a James Brown special. Although, I'm an Al Green Extremist when it comes to music, I've always admired James' style. So, I was listening to people give interviews about him, and they even played an Eddie Murphy JB skit. They played a song, and the beat came on and I got chills from my my shoulders down both to my fingertips and both arms. My eyes suddenly began to water. Why did tears well up? Because no one gives that feeling anymore, no one gives that beat, that passion. Where is it?
I'm a deep fan of all "neo-soul" artists, and I can't say that I've gotten a chill like that from anyone but Leela James as of late. This is not to say that other artists are not "chill worthy", but it just hasn't hit me. Its not that Aretha, or Patty, or Al chill.
What happened to the Music?
