BLUES MUSIC G. LOVE & SPECIAL SAUCE (1994) Blues

G. Love is an 80’s born Philadelphian. Blues music is his tribute to a number of African-American artists despite his European origins. He mentions artists such as Chaka Khan, James Brown, and Lead Belly

Lyrics Me and my band All must agree we like to get groovy With the sounds of the old time We like to jam cause man Sounds from the bandstand Hand for the cause man Hang from the old ones The tones the gear the props and ride very much in Chilling outside Going way back... From where music really started I’m a child of the eighties From where I departed since then I started A collection of the people Who started it all I reckon I kept them In my sock like money Blues music...

It’s all about rocking the van not rock to roll Sway to sway Shocks work out I play What that fly girl sabine say... About eight miles to the gallon that’s some Hiway sailing Cool cool lounging Atlantic city bounding 1920’s to the 1970’s a stream Pool solid steady Getting ready real cool The earth amp sock hat hihat dope Dobro d’addario strings for my things The bass wial sings Let the rhyme bring The tense of the time The old time Blues music

Blind lemon jefferson and juice B.m.w’s the proof frosty albert collins bukkha white Booker t james brown Jimmy smith at the console The soul with the girls aretha Chakka khan the show solid gold Cisco and sonny lead belly too Peoples that rode with woody and you bob dylan A million sears silvertone guitars Heard the licks no need to take them nowhere Blues music

It’s like chewing gum with your headphones on Drinking lemonade Chilling on the front porch after running ball Like you lost a twenty dollar bill You got a free ticket from the scratch and win Its like the swimsuit issue Could I get a tissue? Its’ like you and your baby got nasty cut off and left alone now making eyes On the city bus again grandma cooks blueberry pie Little sister got a boyfriend It’s like smoking the ride The final right The vinyl rides Blues music...

Curtis Mayfield We People Who Are Darker Than Blue (1971) Blues

This is Curtis Mayfield’s tribute to Black people living in America. He speaks of how “this ain’t no time for segregating” and the necessity to come together in unity.

Lyrics We people who are darker than blue Don't let us hang around this town And let what others say come true We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish grown up shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where it's at

We people who are darker than blue This ain't no time for segregating I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow too A white girl can't you tell I'm just the surface of our dark deep well If your mind could really see You'd know your color same as me, Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

Now I know we have great respect for the sister, and mother It's even better yet But there's the joker in the street loving one brother and killing the other When the time comes and we are really free There'll be no brothers left to see

We people who are darker than blue Don't let us hang around this town And let what others say come true We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish grown up shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where it's at

BUFFALO SOLDIER BOB MARLEY (1980) Reggae

Lyrics Buffalo Soldier is one of Marley’s biggest hits. Firstly it’s about the “Buffalo Soldiers” that fought the Native Americans. It is also about getting back to one’s roots in Africa by talking about how African’s were “stolen from Africa, brought to America.”

Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta: It was a buffalo soldier in the heart of America, stolen from Africa, brought to America:

Fighting on arrival,fighting for survival. I mean it, when I analyse the stench, to me it make a lot of sense. How did dreadlock rasta was buffalo soldier.

And he was taking from Africa, brought to America. Fighting on arrival,fighting for survival. Say it was a buffalo soldier,dreadlock rasta. Buffalo soldier, in the heart of America.

If you know your history, Then you would know where you coming from, Then you wouldnt have to ask me, Who the heck do you think I am.

Im just a buffalo soldier in the heart of america, Stolen from africa, brought to america, Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival; Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america.

Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy, Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy! Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy, Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy! Buffalo soldier troddin through the land, wo-ho-ooh! Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand, Troddin through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea.
