The Ladder Of The Soul (For Relaxing)
the rungs of which lay bare my sorrow
I step the progressive road to life
though weary from the climb.
Perceptive though my thoughts may be
I sometimes jump into the fray
Pastoral arms recover me
and lead me day by day.
A light shines at the top
of the ladder of my soul
beckoning my ascent even
when I fall, grasping my
hand when I…

Love Light In Flight-Stevie Wonder
Give me what I'm missing
Send me to the highest heights
Take me up and away
I've tasted love so many times
With something always missing
But I know that you got the kind
To take me up and away
I know that our journey
Will be filled with passion,
love and pleasure
Touching down where…

Soul! Journey To The Sun...November 29, 1972

It showcased classic live musical performances from funk, soul, jazz, and world musicians, and had in-depth, extraordinary interviews with political, sports, literary figures and more. It was the first program on WNET to be recorded with the… Continue

I ♥ Gordon Parks
Recently, while glancing back
through the seductive imagery
of a camera's discerning eye,
I recalled mainly those moments
when the women who appeared
seemed lost in a voiceless past---
unruffled, full of secrets,
and fragrant with silence.
Then, as ages of thoughts
churned inside my…

Backlash Blues-Langston Hughes ~ Nina Simone
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
And send my son to vietnam
You give me second class houses
And second class schools
Do you think that alla colored folks
Are just second class fools
Mr. backlash, I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
When I try to find a job
To earn a little cash
All you got to offer
Is your mean old white backlash
But the world…

Weary Blues By Langston Hughes
The Weary Blues
by Langston Hughes
Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.
Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light
He did a lazy sway . . .
He did a lazy sway . . .
To the tune o' those Weary Blues.
With his ebony hands on each ivory key
He made that poor piano moan with melody.
O Blues!
Swaying to and fro on…
