This weekend Cindy and I went and saw Aretha Franklin’s documentary concert, “Amazing Grace”.
It consisted of footage of Aretha and the Southern California Gospel Choir during two nights in a Baptist church in 1972. For a number of reasons the footage was shot but not completed until recently. It features Aretha Franklin singing Gospel, which is where she started. It is amazing how many of our most popular performers started in church. ( Ever hear of Elvis?)
She put her heart and soul into the music. The church where the taping took place was energized.
It caught my attention when I saw young Mick Jagger engaged in the music from the audience.
Music.
Music is the doorway to faith for many.
Music is the return route to faith for many.
Music is the constant encouragement for many.
Music transcends practically everything.
Music fuels the soul.
Music.
On another note...Happy Mother’s Day to all of you.
It’s been a good day. I hope you’ve had a good day too.
Steve
