For this week's Throwback Thursday I set my timemachine back to 2005, almost 10 years ago. I was a mere 16 years old, but somehow I had started to discover all the great artists from back in the day like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Louis Armstrong, Coltrane, Marvin Gaye and many many more. I was wondering why they didn't make music like that anymore and I had almost given up on that ever happening again, until I heard this gem on the radio. "The Message" by Nate James instantly caught my eye (or ear :p), because it spoke exactly about what I was feeling at the time. And it's just one hell of an awesome, funky, groovy, song. That's instant happiness right there! Nate recently appeared on The Voice UK and even though he didn't win, I think he did a wonderful job. And he looked great too, but ow, how I miss the fro, that luscious fro! :p Anyway, be sure to check out Nate's "Restored" album, featuring all his biggest hits. Great record, an absolute must-have! Now sit back and enjoy the funk by watching the music video below. |
