Back when black music was a force for good and positivity.
What the hell happened?

There were some great musicians.
Especially 60s and 70s.
REAL musicians.

Thanks for those links.
Too bad. A loss.
I have linked or quoted lyrics to the Backstabbers maybe 6 times here over the year or two. Usually about disloyalty to Trump or to voters the RINOs ignore when the mood hits them.
Last was a couple of days ago.

RE: Adding Smiling Faces.
Good one.
The Philadelphia Sound produced smooth work that made it look easy but was actually multi layered. Try listening to bass only or listening to seamless entrance of background singers.

The kazoo voiced bird in Disco Duck became part of a Cultural Classic, just like that piccolo melody in Kung Fu Fighting.
