God Said from Leonard Bernstein's Mass - A theater piece for singers, players and dancers, from the composer lead original recording from 1971
The work as a whole seeks
to find a place for a functioning church in a disruptive, knowingly
evolving society. A setting of the mass, but with interjection and
commentary from, for the sake of argument, the real world. This song,
labled “Gospel-Sermon”, sung from the point of view of the
street, gives a litany of complaints about the church's hypocrisy in
a jaunty yet powerful way, certainly a highlight and microcosm of the
whole.
You Can't Hurry Love – the Supremes from The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 6: 1966
I forgot I had this one
on the old hard drive, so when the bass line kicked in I was thinking
“which 70's English song which rips off,...um... borrows the Motown
bassline. - Love for Tender?, A Town Called Malice? Nope it's THE
Motown bassline. I must have been looking for some other Motown
single from 1966 on emusic and snapped up a bunch of others on the
way. (Emusic tags the genre for this track “hip-hop”)
