While this week has been filled with Memorial Services (Aretha and McCain) and remembrances (Mother Teresa, Michael Jackson and Diana), I prefer to exit these somber times with something a bit more uplifting. To that end, I commend to you a song and a singer featured in the latest edition (No. 67) of what I believe to be the United States version of Now That's What I Call Music! Since I love music but have neither money to buy nor the space to store individual CDs, I rely upon the quarterly release of the Now compilations to keep me abreast of what is current.
For the most part, there are usually only one or two songs that I really like amongst the 20 or so songs on any given Now CD. And even amongst the one or two that I like, it is rare that a song will startle me enough to say "Wow!" But, in this wonderful world, such a song was on the Now 67 CD that I received two weeks ago. And with the singer (Ella Mai) singing with a voice that seemed to be a cross between Sade and Alicia Keys ... well let's just say that there is still much to look forward in this life ... and in this world.
This is what I first heard while sitting in my car after a long day at work
and this is what I heard and saw when I first saw the video for the song
I suppose that 204 million views may indicate that I am late for the party ... but, as they say, better late than never.
Hoping you all can have a Boo'd Up Labor Day Weekend
Peace,
Everett "Skip" Jenkins
