Uziel Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Emeli Sande - Happen. This song is heart wrenching and beautiful and well, widely unknown.
Tiger Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 One of the saddest songs ever. Ben Folds Five - Brick. 1

I love discovering obscure musical gems. Thank your for sharing this one. What a beautiful voice. And the song although very heart wrenching is at the same time very calming.
Former Member Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 I have heard covers of this song, but no one does it up like Mr. Jimmy Cliff. It's such a soul stirring song.

Former Member Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Although 'The Killing of Georgie' was released in 1976, this song is still very relevant today. Rod Stewart's story starts with Georgie being rejected by his family for being gay, and ends with Georgie (who finally finds his place in the world,) being killed by a group of homophobic teens. Of course there have been other songs from that era and even earlier, like The Kinks 'Lola.' and Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side.' But for me, Georgie's story is more than camp and partying. I think it was an honest attempt to bring attention to the hatred that people in the LGBTQ community face. As a matter of fact, if anyone knows of a song/songs that deal with this serious topic, I would appreciate if you can send me a PM with the title and artist/artists. Actually the older, the better.
Former Member Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 If there is a success story that exemplifies the American spirit, it has to be the story of Ray Charles. Where else but in the United States could a black child born to a teen mother, and who was completely blind by the age of seven, rise up to become a true American legend? When he sang this song, it was just...I don't know...it still gives me chills. If there was ever a true American, it was Mr. Ray Charles.
