The "good die young" in "this bitter earth" - musicians way of leaving..

Hey guys,

While watching the movie Shutter Island again last night I came across with a former R&B and Blues
star singer Dinah Washington. Her song "This bitter earth" is being used in some scenes throughout the movie and is completely played during the credits scene.

When I did some background search about her I found out that she died at the age of 39 by an overdosis of secobarbital and amobarbital.

What struck me is the fact that all the famous musicians of the past were singing about or even literally foreseeing their death in their lyrics.

greatest talent from West Coast USA - Kendrick Lamar !

Hey guys,

Gotta introduce you to one of the greatest rappers alive..
Dr. Dré & Snoop Dog already called him "the greatest talent from the West Coast".

Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross but also Sisqo, R. Kelly, Jamie Foxx etc. etc. ; I miss those days :(

Hey guys,

I'm pretty sure I have some friends out there sharing my opinion on this..

Where did all that fine Black music (R&B & Soul especially) go?
If you have a look at the evolution of Black music from past to present you must be frightened to have
a look at the future.

Our parents had Barry White, Marvin Gaye & Luther Vandross just to name a few of these great great
voices of the past. A time where dancing TOGETHER was the kind of way celebrating Black music.

Pre Christmas time / Michael Bublé my choice

Dubstep. sounds of the future? Skrillex concert ;)
