Etta James - At Last

At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh, yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last

Joe Higgs - Life of Contradiction 

 "We looked up to Joe Higgs. He was something like a musical guardian for us.
He was a more professional singer, because he was workin' for years wit' a fella
named Roy Wilson as Higgs & Wilson. They had a lotta hits and they
had the knowledge of the harmony techniques, so he taught us [The Wailers] them.
And he 'elped in the studio, to work out our different parts."
 Bunny Wailer (1980's)
 

"Joe Higgs was a brother amongst the Wailers for years. He was 
engcouragement, and he inspired us and kept us together."
Peter Tosh (1976)

"Joe Higgs helped me understand that music. He taught me many tings."
 Bob Marley

Gil Scott Heron - The Neddle´s Eye

A circle spinning faster
And getting larger all the time

A whirlpool spelled disaster
For all the people who don't rhyme

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him who just don't understand
Understand, understand, understand

A brand new sense of freedom
A brand new sense of time

Him may go and stand alone now
And leave the hate and fear behind

All the millions spent for killing
Seems the whole world must be dying

All the children who go hungry
How much food we could be buying

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him who just don't understand
Understand, understand, understand

A brand new sense of freedom
A brand new sense of time

Him may go and stand alone now
And the leave the hate and fear behind

People wake up every morning
And simply push their lives aside

They seem to carry all their feelings
Crushed and crumbled up inside
Inside, inside, inside

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him who just don't understand

So I went to see my father
Many questions on my mind

But he didn't want to answer me
God, the whole world must be blind

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him may someday go insane
Insane, insane, insane

Without a brand new sense of freedom
A brand new sense of time

Him may go and stand alone now
And leave the hate and fear behind, yeah, behind
