Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I had something else planned for today, but things changed last night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tune – Syl Johnson’s<\/strong>\u00a0mighty ‘Is It Because I’m Black’ – has been sitting in the ‘to be blogged’ folder for over four years.<\/p>\n

It is undeniably one of the most powerful soul records ever made, and I was never quite sure how to approach posting it.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t get any deeper, or realer than this, and so when Trayvon Martin’s<\/strong> killer went free last night, this was the only record I thought of.<\/p>\n

This record is 44 years old, but has lost none of its power or (sadly) its relevance.<\/p>\n

Not sure how many days I’m going to leave this on the front page, but I suspect that my anger and disgust is not going to dissipate any time soon.<\/p>\n

Listen to this song. Really listen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
