- About Me:
- RONNIE LAWS~~ EVERY GENERATION (8min 11secs of Heaven)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Nothing Has Ever Felt, Like This' - Rachell & Will...............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have a 40 year Terminal disease of Quality Soul, Jazz & Inspirational Music,,,, & I don't want a cure..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An older & wiser, Caring & Giving person that has learn't that we get greater pleasure giving/sharing than receiving. Most people I admire/look upto have inspired me to be that person. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Am a 57 year old white guy livin' here in the North of England, UK. Real Soul music is sparce up here, but since technology & the Internet revolution, I have a bank of Web radio stations & Video 'Tube/Space/Loud-City/FineTune & now Commune' that see me through. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have been into Soul since 1966, have done Tamla, Stax, Atlantic, then came Northern Soul, then Jazz/Funk. New Jack Swing, Then Gospel, Jazz Funk, Laid back Jazz & now Quality Soul (apparently called Neo Soul). ~~~~~~
But through all these years, Lyrics, Ballads 3/4/6 part Harmonies & Bass lines have dominated my life & still do. Real Soul hasn't changed that much since the 60's, it's gone back to it's roots, only production and technology has changed the music.
~~~~
Long gone are the days as a young teenager, who would sit (up all night) with a portable radio in one hand & a microphone connected to a cassette recorder to tape tracks of Black music from illegal pirate radio stations, mainly because record stores didn't import music from the States then. Remember sitting up one night 'til 3.00am to catch the long-awaited ‘Music of my Mind’ album (whose release had been delayed like most of Stevies early albums). Synthesizers and Voice pipes hadn't been used in black music, it blew me away and it changed the face of Soul from thereon in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My hero was and still is Donny Hathaway, plus Stevie, Aretha & James Brown. Sam Dees as a songwriter. Aretha's voice blew you away, James made you wanna get up & dance, Sam's lyrics made you concentrate on them, but when Donny sung "(Lord) We need you right now" AND "Sack full of dreams" & "I love you more than you'll ever know" he BROUGHT TEARS & when he died, I understood even more of what the lyrics meant to him. He just wanted a better world for everyone. ~~~~
Miss Donny, Jimi, Marvin, Buddy,, Luther, Grover, Gerald & bro' Sean, then suddenly 2 weeks ago, Billyobham passed over.

Have to get my fix somewhere, or I'll shrivel up & die (& be in Hell with white-British pop music)

What Is Elton John Thinking?
The comments from Sir Elton to shut down the internet just really bother me!
What if someone from the piano roll business or the sheet music publisher had told Thomas Edison that the phonograph needed to be destroyed because it was going to ruin the music business. Where would Elton or any other artist be today that succeed [...]
