Well I wanted to do a Wayback Wed but i was told that today is Thursday, I digress. Fact is…I love older music than the new noise that’s being shoved at us 24/7 by Clear Channel & Radio One. This is where my Ipod and good ol’ computer (named Jimi Jules Basquiat) comes in. Both are an instant gateway into the yesteryear of great musicdom (new word alert). To start off this momentous addition to The (Re)Fresh Button, I give you:
Hearing this song at a young age got me into older soul music. At the time I’d say I was listening to Hammer, NWA Ghetto Boys etc and had just written off my parents music as “Old Folks music”. We live and we learn though so I am glad I got a slap to the back of the head from Marvin Gaye, The Isley Brothers, Al Green and countless others who would come to shape my thoughts on what timeless music should sound like.
