  • Too much people ...

    Too much people have died along the way;
    Too much blood in the rivers of my tears;
    Too much suffering in our tied souls;
    Too much punished bodies in the jailed rooms;
    Too much arms and hearts with no hugs;
    Too much fingers without embrace others;

    Too much flags around the world,
    we need only one;
    the flag of love,
    the flag of humanity...

  • These geniuses ...

    These geniuses always have a way to do their stuff.Jamerson recorded the stuff in the studio lying down on his freaking back. They did the song in one take, which tells you, these funk brothers guys were more than brilliant. Wes MOntgomery also used his thumb only on a six string guitar. Amazing stuff indeed!

  • Who would think ...

    Who would think that James Jamerson was only using his index finger to pluck those La Bella flatwounds on his "Funk Machin" Fender Precision Bass.

  • This Song serves as ...

    This Song serves as a true testament to the power of a song that reflects the many struggles of us as a people, especially us who have been overshadowed by society, and what some think us people do not deserve it is just sad that we have lost great people who were movement creaters to the opposing forces and people like Marvin to some it all up for us in a song We should all hope for the True Artist that we used to have to sing our Hearts out for us . BLESS US ALL GOD !
    Great Song !!!!!!

    That's what happens when the greatest bass player of all time is confined to a studio for the majority of his life.

  • I think you're ...

    I think you're being too negative. Attitudes are changing slowly, but they ARE changing.

    For example, who would have thought, even a few years ago, that a black man and a woman would be vying for the presidency?? You would think that would happen in a more liberal country like Canada, but it's happening in the USA.

    It's a big, big deal. HUGE. I'm Canadian, but I'm glad that it's happening in my lifetime. It's history in the making. And it's proof that attitudes ARE changing.

  • Finally something ...

    Finally something phenomenal and touching concerning racism, hatred and this world. Getting sick of those love songs :) I must say it's a real pleasure seeing the greatest bass legend in the world have the honour to sit next to one of the few greatest musicians in the world, and have a great time. People may have changed millions of things since 1970, but they definitely haven't changed themselves.
