SONGSTORY

You know when a song hits you and instantly you know its perfect?  I mean, you wouldn’t alter a single thing about it and you just marvel at how someone was able to create something that is 100% correct–nothing could ever be done to improve it.  That’s how I felt when I first heard The Impressions 1965 hit People Get Ready.   

Curtis Mayfield’s biblically themed narrative speaks to the power and inclusiveness of the Civil Rights Movement in a very broad yet very relevant way.  Indeed, People Get Ready is regarded as one of the most important, and impactful songs to come out of this era.

 I dedicate this song to the guy who discovered dedications, Dr. Andre Dedicassion.
