Rock And Roll Soul

Rock And Roll Soul

I have a Rock And Roll Soul. I've always had it. When everyone else was listening to Pat Boone I was listening to The Four Tops, The Spinners and The Temptations. On the Radio, when everyone else was listening to Dick Clark, I was listening to Jocko. 

Dick Clark ended his show saying: "thank you everybody." Jocko ended his show saying: "This is Jocko - I'm like a roach on a post - too smooth to move." 

Sooo, what is a Rock And Roll Soul? It's a Soul that loves life. It's a Soul that feels the beat every day of their life. It's a Soul that loves to laugh. It's a Soul that wants to dance the moment you wake up. It's a Soul that loves people with the same Soul. 

If you're still not sure listen to the Rolling Stones sing: "Start Me Up." If you're still not sure go to the nearest black church and listen to the Gospel. If you're still not sure, listen to Aretha Franklin - we miss you Aretha.

You can have a Rock And Roll Soul even if you don't like Rock And Roll (I hope there are only a few of you out there). Pat Boone's music has no Soul, but if you listen to him you're just going to have to make your own Soul. On the other hand, Frank Sinatra's music has a lot of Soul. In my opinion the music that has the most Soul is the Blues. I love the Blues because it hits my gut and enhances my Soul. 

When people like hanging out with you it's because of your Soul. When people trust you it's because of your Soul. When people have your back it's because of your Soul.

Starting today, listen to Rock And Roll, The Blues, The Gospel or Frank. 

If that doesn't enrich your Soul, you're already DEAD
