To put it simply, music moves people. This blog is a collection of songs to move to, in some fashion or another. Whether it's physical - running, dancing, driving or what have you - or mental, music plays a tremendous role in many peoples' day to day lives. Some of these songs you'll probably have heard. Others will be completely new to you. Others still may be rediscoveries. My hope is to bring you a song each day that is not only enjoyable to listen to, but may also make your day just a little better.
James Brown
"Try Me"
Former Boston mayor Kevin White passed away today at the age of 82. He was perhaps the greatest mayor Boston has ever had. He made Mayor Menino - a good, if incomprehensible mayor - look like as poor a politician as Warren G. Harding. White is perhaps best known for his action following the death of Martin Luther King Jr., when he successfully lobbied WGBH and James Brown to air Brown’s concert at the Boston Garden live, in order to keep potential rioters off the streets. The move was a success, and was recently immortalized in the documentary “The Night James Brown Saved Boston”.
In memory of the late former mayor, here’s some James Brown from his classic disc Live at the Apollo.
