Listen to this classic R&B/Soul song, "Clean Up Woman," by Betty Wright. The most famous line in the song is, "She's the one, who will take him when you dump him in the street." The song tells the story about a woman, who had neglected her man, and "made it easy for the "Clean Up Woman" to have an affair with her man. However, I don't see it that way. I interpret it as a man, making the choice to cheat on his girlfriend or wife. Women in supposedly committed relationships like to blame the "Other Woman" or in this song, blame themselves, when they really need to blame the man for cheating. Love doesn't last forever, but when one person wants to leave, he or she needs to break up their current relationship in order to move on to someone else. I don't agree with everything in Betty Wright's songs. Many of the things she says sounds sexist or outdated from a feminist perspective. Yet, by the end of this song, she also sounds like she intends to break up with the man for cheating. I just love her sound and her voice. She sounds like she is singing from her Soul. She may really believe the things she sings about in her songs. Even if you don't agree with everything she says, the song touches you personally. You can hear the frustration in the story of a woman, who blames herself for creating an emotional opening in her man's heart for another woman. What recent R&B/Soul songs or Black American singers do you know of who writes and sings emotional songs like this? If you know of any, please share a link with me to that person's YouTube video, so I can listen to that person's song. I am open to indie R&B musicians. Thanks...

This is a classic R&B/Soul song by Bobby Womack, "If You Think You're Lonely Now." The singer is complaining about a woman, who wants him to provide more for her financially. You can sense the anger and frustration in his voice at the beginning when he is complaining about this woman. It sounds like he is singing from experience, either his or someone close to him. My mother listened to Bobby Womack when I was a kid. I thought this was just old people's music until I became a teenager and started listening to slow jams. This particular song will never go out of style, which is why someone remade it, but they couldn't replace it. The original sounds better. These days, Black singers don't sing songs that touch you personally. The poetry and passion are gone from Black American music, dating from the mid-1990s to the present. Has any of you observed Black American History Month by attending a concert? If so, who was the singer? Share a link to their music video on YouTube if they have one. Thanks...

Listen to The Persuaders' song, "Thin Line Between Love and Hate." The Persuaders' song describes a woman, who has quietly put up with her man's cheating on her until she couldn't hold it in anymore. We don't know how, but she put him in the hospital. The most famous line in the song is "The sweetest woman in the world could be the meanest woman in the world...if you make her that way." it is like a cautionary tale to men, who mistreats their wives and girlfriends. Are there any recent Black American music that tells a story or teaches a lesson? What music are you all listening to for Black American History Month? #blacks, #music, #history, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerican, #blackamericans, #blackamerica, #soul, #soulmusic, #classic. less
