Good morning ....sorry for the " no-show " yesterday but even Guru's have Broadband problems occasionally.
As I've said before when I started listening to Soul music a lot of it contained important social commentary ,representing the disenfranchised poor of Black America.....a role taken mostly by rap nowadays.
Now as we as a country move into a time unprecendented hardship for many people I think that it is time that Soul music with a conscience made a comeback....what is happening to a section of society that can't look after itself properly is simply unacceptable .
I volunteer for Crisis At Christmas working with the homeless ,it is humbling and very sad to know that once the centres close these people will be back on the streets.......see how cold it is today and imagine living on the streets.....if you can volunteer please do ,Google Crisis At Christmas
I was thinking about this as I listened to Mercy Time by today's musical tip the amazing Two Bears.Mercy Time is a basically a house remake of Marvin's Mercy Me (The Ecology) with the lyrics intoned slowly and gruffly over the beat....it may sound odd but it is BRILLIANT. It's off their first EP "Follow The Bear " which includes a great " shout out " House track called " Be Strong "a potential dance-floor classic
They have a new EP out called "Curious Nature " which contains the awesome track " Church ".There's no album but youtube any of the songs mentioned and you will feel better ...........thats what I'm here for and why I'm The Soul Guru !
Have A Good Day......spare a thought for those less fortunate than yourself
