So hows i sees it, is that i reckon you dont have to be singin soul music to be soulful. Just like you dont have to be Japanese to use chopsticks. Or a woman to enjoy a nice pedicure? Thats neither here nor there. Hither Tither. Wom Bom Baloooba Bawomp Bam Boo. Point being, some of the tastiest soul food to my ears comes from country, americana, hip hop, and even folk musica. Hence, this weeks soulful sunday video of the week. You've heard us play it live, you've heard Levon Helm take it to the streets while bangin on them drums, but perhaps you havent heard the Staple Singers Step it up Soul Style. Enjoy and holler at your favorite Seattle Soul Rock Ensemble.
Note: this clip is from the Scorcese documentary "The Last Waltz" about the Band.
p.s. Thanks to Doc Lach for turning me on to this video.
p.p.s. That third verse with papa staples' smoothe vocals .... pure gold.
Much love, peace, and soul this sunday,
Jason
