Soul Sunday





My mom used to tell me listen closely when this song came on. She told me how much substance was in this song. How much soul was in this song. How powerful the song was. I understood this song as about betrayal and backstabbers, but I began to really learn what she was talking about. She didnt care about the backstabbers in this song but about how the song was delivered. This song is amazing. The string arrangements, the way the vocalist takes you on a ride. How crisp the drums and bass is.
She told me how hiphop artists screams could not capture the feeling like how these soul R&B songs could. I always told her, "hip hop artistists can!" "they just do it in their own way."

Every Sunday is Soul Sunday. This Sundays Soul joint is The Ojays-Backstabbers
