Happy 4th!
Jul 4, 2007 mp3
Thomas Dolby’s Blog has a gift for you:
I announced my presence [to Stevie Wonder], and reminded him we had an anthem to record. He asked if I had any ideas for it. I said, what about a really slow sexy groove on a drum machine, and really spread it out? Stevie thought for a moment, then said ‘uh-uh. Marvin tried that one time man. He sang it that way at an NBA all-star game, and you know what? he never got on TV again until the day he died. Because all the network executives couldn’t handle a black man singing a sexy soul version of the National Anthem.’
He’s got a link to the YouTube and Breath of Life (where I found this link) also has the mp3 of “a black man singing a sexy soul version of the National Anthem.”
Download it and make your holiday a better one!
