Answer 1

That is really a sweet sound.  That music and just chillin poolside would rock.

Answer 2

They sang some terrific music with some powerful messages. Great dancing music too. There is still some of this type of music around but you have to really look. Most music today is about making big money and being number #1 on the charts.This family had a long standing impact on music.

Answer 3

We do, you just posted it for us.  Hep me y'all, you took us there...you knew a place....d**n it, I'm going back now!

Answer 4

because emo has taken over.

Answer 5

I owe you a debt of gratitude. Though I probably heard this piece in passing, it never registered as it does in this context: the centerpiece of a question, made to make me think.

Politics and music are as inseparable as love and inspiration. Thank God we're free to speak (and sing) our minds.

When we're right, we're seen and acknowledged. When we're wrong, we're only fools for a moment.

When we've had enough, we crawl out of our comfort zone and speak and sing till the forces of errant judgment can't stand it anymore and leave us. And we're back to the human touch.

A B C, it's easy as 1 2 3.

Thanks again!
