Proud Mary was written and recorded by John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival back in 1969. Liked their version better.

I saw Lucky Dube at an outdoor summer event in Ottawa. The cops were super aggressive, getting in the faces of anyone that light up. Then they shut it down at midnight - bush city.

What about the music?

I don't know what it is but some black singers men and women have such a unique tonality to their voices it's fucking magical and this guys got it nailed, incredible voice.

What about the music

The music was excellent with an amazing calypso band whom I've forgotten about, Lucky Dube was the headliner but he only got to play four songs.

Great R & B group from the early 1960s. My favourite Could it be Im falling in love, also had a number of hit songs. Wish I was back in the fabulous 60s.

As a fan of hip hop I realize the epic ness of this song. And of course be fitting for the times we are currently facing.

Today marks the 50th birthday of the Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige. I still remember copping her debut album back in the fall of 1992. I played it to death. In honor of the Queen going to post a few of my favorite tracks of hers. Starting with my ATF (from her sophomore album My Life).

I had to wait until the end of the What's the 411 album to get to this absolute GEM.
