My internet music friend Tom McInnes turned me on to this group, but before I send you to his website I want to play a song for you by the group he is featuring today. Why? Because I want you to hear them before you read about them. Listen to this song a time or two — while it is relatively new, it takes me back to an earlier time, when Soul was just becoming popular. To me that time was a whole new revelation of voice as a musical instrument.
If you have not heard this band before, I hope you will be pleasantly surprised. I certainly was, though I almost didn’t listen to them. You’ll understand why after you read Tom’s post. I was afraid it would not be my kind of music.
I was wrong.
If you like this music, read on. If you don’t, well, I feel for you…
You can find more Black Pumas’ music on YouTube, including a number of live concerts. Please, enjoy.
Just by the way, my favourite singer, in case you don’t know, is Eric Burdon. With this singer’s name being Eric Burton, how could he go wrong…
