Classic R+B, Soul, Hip-Hop, etc

[SquirrelMan]

This song was nominated for an Acadamy Award after being included in the original Casino Royal movie.
Burt never really got over losing to a silly (and today largely forgotten) song called "Talk to the Animals" from Doctor Doolittle.

They are both good songs in their way. Probably inspired Squirrel Girl.

For Black History month, I'll go into an often forgotten aspect of r&b music: Somewhat silly songs. They can be overly dramatic to the point of parody, or have thatrical aspects, or just be tongue in cheek.

Never learned to swim... Can't catch the rhythm of the stroke.

Rest In Peace to another heavy, they're passing through the glass like sand these days. Bobby Caldwell and the record cover that fooled us.

I've always liked this version.



This is a seriously good album, even if they spent NO money on the design.
