A much needed Black Music thread.

More from Levert. It's a bit sentimental but I loved it, at the time:

Thanks for sharing!

Come for The King, you'd best not miss.

Ain't no sugar water run through my veins.

Of all the people we lost in 2016, I think that Sharon Jones hit me the hardest.

Had the pleasure of seeing this amazing singer and performer live a couple times, the last time being just before she passed away.

It's a testament to her strength that she was touring and playing live right up until the end. Plus sticking to your dreams, like Charles Bradley, she was in her 40's when she released her first album.

 

[SexB]

And speaking of Charles Bradley, I saw him play at Field Trip three years ago and he blew the artists half his age on the line-up away! His passing was another huge loss for music.

 

[Insidious Von]

Charles Bradley, never heard of him before thanx SexB.

Worryin bout you is like worryin bout when the sun comes up.

The King, Beatles cover.

 

[Insidious Von]

Some people are irreplaceable.

 

[whiteshaft]

Some people are irreplaceable.

You're totally correct in the case of BB King.

Ain't no sugar water run through my veins.

This song is epic.

Early Marvin

 

[K Douglas]

Damn! They are both good, tho.

100% agree. Back By Dope Demand has more of a hip house sound which I dig.

The last time I heard that song was at the Black/White in Amsterdam.

Nice six shooter you got there.

I'm equating King Marvin with the best cold open in continuing series history.
