Each Monday, for a while at least, I will post something music-related. Here’s my first Music Monday post, in the form of a video. I can’t get enough of this song and my only complaint it that it doesn’t last long enough.
Because this video is somehow controlled by vevo, you have to click through to youtube and you get an ad at the beginning to boot. I don’t know a way around it. However, all of the live versions that I found on youtube were equally mind-blowing, so check them out. This band is TIGHT!
Put your high-heeled sneakers on and remember that the only one who looks foolish in front of a computer playing Raphael Saadiq is the one who’s sitting down.
Way cool. Sort of has a Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings vibe going on. I’m digging it.
Thanks.
I heart Sharon Jones. Have you seen her? She’s around here quite a bit and I have so far missed her every time. I think I can catch her in the spring and Saadiq, too. Sharon Jones is described as “electrifying” and I have to say it seems so from videos of her live performance. AND she’s around my age and wears high heels when she performs. So inspiring when I think I’m getting old….
Yes, there’s this whole r and b and soul and funk revival, but they never went away did they? If the heyday was about 35-40 years ago, that’s not a long time in music. I’m gonna say it even though it’s stupid–good music lasts and can be rediscovered. Never goes out of style.
Sweeeeeeeeet! Thanks for the hook-up!
ANY TIME, BBBaer. I am all for hook-ups!
