Last week I watched the movie Harriet starring Cynthia Erivo. I loved the movie and Cynthia Erivo was great in it. At the very end of the film I heard this song Stand Up and I immediately loved it so I looked up who sung it and was shocked that it was the lead actress Cynthia Erivo.wtf :applause:. This women is a dual threat, acting & singing wise. Looove her voice. It actually gave me goose bumps at the very end of the movie

Thanks for this. I didn't even know that movie was out. Harriet Tubman is a great story. I've also never heard of this actress/singer. She definitely got talent.

Grandmaster Flash. Kool Herc. That's where it all started. Pioneers.

I know this is considered neo soul but it certainly has a 70's vibe too it. Can lounge to music like this all day any day.

I don't have a lot of gospel music in my collection but obviously it has a rich heritage in Black music
