Famous v black famous...Frankie Beverly and Maze.

[Kind of Blue]

9. Oh, just one correction after telling sis of this OP.

She reminded me that Frankie met Marvin and then spent a whole lot of time in Gaye's D.C. house where he had a chance to just be and perfect his sound.

It is a blessing to enjoy our cultural icons and not give a fig about who else knows about them. We're always coming up culturally with something spanking brand-new and that makes them special. Black Girl Magic is a thing, musical innovation is a thing, the minds that the majority cultural tried to keep hidden but some how fight to express themselves are special, so I can't help but feel that they're precisely here to get us through this life. All of it is the language of a community under pressure.

Thanks, brush. A month does not go by without listening to Kind of Blue. It gets my mind just right!
