Love Needs Love Today - Dr. King's Day


I've posted a couple of these videos before.  But they still work for me for this day, and everyday!  My cats love Stevie Wonder too!

I learned the Black National Anthem when I was 14.  And this was how I learned to sing it.  Tell me, is it not gorgeous?!  



Good morn or evening friends,
Here's your friendly announcer
I have some serious news to pass on
 to everybody ----
What I'm about to say
Could mean the world's disaster
Could change your joy and laughter
To tears and pain
Its that:

Loves in need of love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
Hate's going round
 breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before it's gone too far

The force of evil plans
 To make you its possession
 And it will if we let it 
destroy everybody.
We all must take precautionary measures
If love and peace you treasure
then you'll hear me when I say:

Love's in need of Love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
Hate's going round
 breaking many hearts
Stop it please
 Before it's gone too far

It's up to you.......

Agony AND ecstasy:


A beautiful noise:


The coolest, meanest Cuban style "son" guitar playing:


and the best-ever, sly, Stevie Wonder smile!
