Comment:

Black pride is a state of mind, but it comes from deep down in the soul. In 1968, Kim Weston gave an R&B-gospel flavor to the uplifting message of the African-American National Anthem, “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,”and donated the single’s proceeds to the United Negro College Fund. Roberta Flack took a different approach to Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” toning down its gospel touches but focusing on the feeling of giving spiritual salvation to those with heavy hearts. And the Godfather of Soul — who got us started on this whole journey — conjured up a place where “every man would be as free as a bird” on “If I Ruled the World.” But it’s no pipe dream — pay attention as James sings “my world is such a beautiful place” — for as long as the song lasts, that world is his, yours, and everyone’s.
