Wierd Day for Me

Tweet

I'm sure this happens to others sometimes, the kind of day where you are gloomy and introspected. It has been that kind of day(I'm thinking it's because of the post-holiday blahs and so many bad things being reported in the news. So, I just took some time out today to pay tribute to some of my favorite singers who have gone on in the last couple of years. I began with Luther Vandross. I still love his singing as much as I did the first time I heard him all those years ago. He died in 2005-seems longer. I listened to his music while I read some facts about his life-most of which I already knew. Leaving there, I visited the site of Gerald Levert, another of my favorite singers who died tragically at just 40 years old. I really just wanted to hear him sing. I was a big fan of his father, Eddie Levert who has been with the group, The Ojays for many years. My last stop was to visit James Brown who left us last December 26th. I can't remember when there wasn't a James Brown, and I have many of his songs. I considered it a tragedy that he was kept above ground for so long until all the particulars dealing with his estate got straightened out, but life is like that sometimes. In spite of all the dram in his personal relationships, he was one of the best.
