Sing
Sing, sing, sing
Come on, do your thing
Let those praises ring
To others, joy you bring
When you sing
Songs that uplift, songs that reprove
Songs that help us get into our groove
Songs that give our Lord the praise
Songs we remember for the rest of our days.
Sing in the morning, sing in the night
Sing when things go wrong and definitely when they are right
Sing, for music is the key to life
Able to lift burdens and ease strife
So sing, sing, sing
Come on, do your thing
Let those praises ring
To others, joy you bring
When you sing.
Tribute to Daddy's Music
Ella jumps
Sarah’s sassy
Billie thumps
Carmen’s brassy
Gloria croons
Aretha’s queen
Gladys booms
Diana’s supreme!
Nat’s king
Jimmy plays
Marvin sings
John sways
Miles blows
Nancy’s mellow
Ray crows
Patti bellows!
Jazz strokes
Gospel provokes
Calypso whines
Reggae shines
Blues soothes
R&B smooths
Rap grooves
Music makes me want to move!
Learned to listen at Daddy’s feet
Where he would listen to different beats
Learned to appreciate with Daddy’s ear
All kinds of music I would hear.
Learned that music was in his heart
That’s how my love for music got its start.
A tribute to the music my father listened to, especially JAZZ! Also, a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, Carmen McCrae, Gloria Lynne, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, Nat King Cole, Jimmy Smith, Marvin Gaye, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Nancy Wilson, Ray Charles and Patti LaBelle, whom I listened to as I grew up.
