These words are more appropriate now than ever - the man was a genius

The blues grew up in Satchmo’s horn, on Duke’s piano and Langston’s poetry, on Robeson’s baritone, on Gil Scott’s rap.

Yes, the 'Blues' is as American as apple pie, but it's interesting that we in the UK took it to our hearts and loved it!

Warren G - Do you see
@michaelscott2389 Жыл бұрын
And his last album let the blues pass by was “I’m New Here”. Epitaph for our “half-assed freedom”: Song of a human being arriving in an Atlantic crossing from Africa and disembarking in this country from a tall masted slaver, anew, again and again. This man is immortal.
