& here’s the song itself, probably one of my top 5 mos songs ever.

today’s theme: live performances.
I LOVE FERTILE GROUND. period. point blank. one of the best live shows you’ll ever, ever, ever see in your LIFE.
fertile ground, “be natural”
i really had to struggle with finding just one clip of the roots. “water” is one of my most favorite songs of theirs & i’ve not had the pleasure of seeing them do this live more than twice, so this is a real pleasure to see. probably your favorite band’s favorite band. these men work hard as shit. philly. always.
faith evans, “come over”. her first album is still a banger. get familiar. (the video is bad, the audio is not great, but still!!!)
really random. chaka khan & kelly price, singing “through the fire.” again, lots of clips of chaka to choose from. & i love kelly’s voice too much not to share. awesome.
ledisi!!! “in the morning”. crushing the game. killing you hoes. & not softly, either.
lizz wright. “walk with me, lord”. LOVE. HER.
also, ms. wright sings “salt”. this is the jam.
i could go on forever. but, clearly, i’ve gone forth & gotten really excited. lol. enjoy your friday! may the music move you in a good direction.
it’s black music month!
