The sister Miss Baby Sol was at Open the Gate recently for her single launch party performing a goose bumpy live rendition of it, entitled "She Cries" [video] inspired by the Rwandan genocide.
Came across this recently from British Iranian music producer Hiatus, part of the duo by the name of Haitus and Shura [one to watch].
This track on playback and head cycle for a while, reminds one, of the tune by Massive Attack called Angel.
From the outset of the video and in comparison to this early morning in London Town, the sunrise and freshness. Well we are missing the convertible and the open road, but the ladies and gents get my drift.
This track entitled "Rotation" is by Herbert Alpert [Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass], the legendary American musician and philanthropist, who with his trumpet and band has sold millions of albums.

On this occasion its the reknown gospel singer/songwriter Kirk Franklin with the gospel choir group God's Property and Salt [Salt &Pepper]. The title of this track "Stomp" from his 1995 album "Whatcha Lookin' 4".
When one first heard this song back in the day, someone said this ain't no gospel.., ahem! comparing it to other forms playing in this genre at the time. Now listening to this again, with God's Property on back up duty with those baritones, tenors, bass voicing seamlessly, I rest my case and "Stomp".
