      Your comment makes me sad
      Not only are kids these days very talented, they're often putting out songs with social justice themes or messages, similar to the messages from the 60s and 70s. If the themes are similar it's because we didn't do our damn job and solve the problems. Some are adjusting vocals in the studio. Some aren't.
      We sound ignorant, old and out of touch when we make comments like yours.
      ...
      I have many friends in their 70s and 80s who have been making music since they were teens. They are all thrilled when they have the opportunity to play with young people. Not because they want to teach.
      Because they want to learn.

    Here in 2023 still rocking with this unique hit from Mr. Al Green. Boy he could lay it down vocally! Took my share of worthy women on dates/excursions and I'd play this song and just sit back and watch the way Al Green's vocals would hit them...Simply Beautiful...

    Wow! I just realized he is the last of the great soul singers. You know, that period of the late 60's through the 70's. Marv, Barry, Bobby, etc., are all over Jordan river. His voice is the reason many of us even exist today. He is the great aphrodisiac.
