SongoholicThis is where I adore other music artists
and their creations!
There are so many I will be citing as personal
heroes and as people and artworks I've grown up with, that I'll be
adding along as we go along in time together, so, let me first start
with the man who probably started it all with me and with most people
in the Western world, if not the entire world, James Brown.
I had wanted to meet him someday. I have
attended his concerts, and once, my parents lifted me up almost onto
the stage, right in front of the man himself!
I thought we made eye contact - I'm sure
of it - and I already so loved him and his music that I was
dancing around, mesmerized by his music, his style, his presence,
and that Smile he sent down to me!
That's as close as I'll ever get now.
He's in heaven, doing his heavenly music
there now.
what a jolt for all of us! And yet, that
electricity generated by him, that musical magical current, will
go on forever! Were you aware that sounds, once made here on our
own little planet, resound out into the universe FOREVER?
So, while we are gyrating and zooming inside
and out to James Brown's sound that is, let's face it, a huge part
of ALL pop music and always will be a part of our own bodies - that
hot funk sound, that hot funk orchestra in sync, that hot voice is
entertaining God Himself somewhere out there!!!
Rest in Peace, but I'm not sure if someone
so alive could ever be thought of that way, so, let's think of James
Brown as we always have, and let him entertain us the rest of our
lives as well as the future generations who have him to look forward
to!
But films willl never document what it was
like to see them all arrayed in a line, horizontally, playing like
one instrument at James' design, while he'd prance and do acrobatics
no one else could do, meanwhile singing his heart out!
Arthur Lee
Arthur Lee is another one of our GREATS we
lost in the last year. Lead Singer, and genius ground-breaker of
cross-overs from pop to ballad, from rock to avant garde, from soul
to crooning, from African-American to mainstream audiences, he single-handedly
advanced what was then "hippie" music, of the real psychedelic style,
back when Love One Another was the credo, Arthur Lee died young,
and was just being discovered yet again!
