Stevie Wonder - Living for the City
So much of what I see in the media regarding music/black culture/black music suggest that there's an agenda to fool people who don't know any better & future generations into thinking that either nothing existed before hiphop or that nothing else mattered. Watching recent PBS programs like Black America Since MLK & Soundbreaking, there is a bombardment of rap, but no mention of Prince or George Clinton. (Oh, BTW, we didn't need N.W.A or Tupac & their "reality rap" Stevie already sung about the realities in Living For The City)
Pardon me, I just remembered that snippets of a P-Funk song were played on the Black America series, but in that same series, we had people like Ava DeVerney (sorry, not a priority to get the correct spelling for her name) acting like all they ever listened to or connected with, was rap. And in the Soundbreaking series, there were segments on Stevie, James Brown, & Sly Stone but there was still MORE time spent on hiphop on various episodes. Last time I checked, Sly Stone was homeless, while Dr. Dre probably lives in a mansion....
