I'm a massive fan of Sade. She killed it throughout the entirety of the 90s, but I feel like her later shit gets completely left behind. In my opinion, this is the largest, most valuable gem in the crown of her career - https://youtu.be/DbVV9Hpj7ck?si=pAfK1-KMZIsgRbKR

Haha, I thought you might have picked a Gang Starr song as I clicked on the link.

This was my theme song when my daughter had cancer in 2002 and 2003. I was sure she'd die. She looked like a skeleton. If you have children, hopefully they never have a life threatening disease. She survived. Others weren't so lucky. A baby died in the pediatric cancer ward.

Brian Wilson the genius songwriter behind the band was put into conservatorship not long ago. His brain was too damaged to function. I'd never believe that of the 3 brothers, Brian, Carl and Dennis he would be the survivor. I remember when these guys were number 1 on the charts before the Beatles. I'm a dinosaur.

Does this remind anyone of High Tide and Green Grass by the Outlaws I heard in 1977

I heard them a few weeks after Woodstock in 1969.

I hope and pray we are not headed to World War III.

I can't believe this is still irrelevant.

I heard Alpha Blondie in concert in the late 1980s at a festival in the desert in Israel. Ziggy Marley, one of Bob Marley's children also played. More Kante was there and played this which had been a hit

The song Bram posted reminded me of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdlJ2hkoq_M
I played it a lot when our daughter had cancer over 20 years ago. I heard Bob Marley in concert twice. He wasn't too memorable. There is a lot of music he played that I think is great. Eric Clapton had a hit with this.
