We may be a day late but that should not stop us from celebrating the 40th birthday of Jill Scott! Born April 4, 1972, she's a Soul and R&B singer-songwriter, poet, and actress. She was responsible for 2001's infamous neo-soul movement alongside Alicia Keys, India Arie, & Amel Larrieux. Miss Scott is quite the singer who blends jazz, R&B, blues, spoken word, and hip hop among other genres in order to manifest a unique style. Her vocal capabilities are so rich and powerful that I expect to hear more soulful melodies for more decades to come. We salute you Miss Scott!
Scope out a spellbinding performance of Jill at the Soul Train awards some 8 years ago. The vocals and passion she delivers are truly incomparable! Like I always say, their ain't nothing like a good serving of soul musique.
Tune: "Hate On Me". We've all been down this road kiddas. When you have family or friends who are jealous of one's success and blessings. A sometime sad world we live in. But alas, we have tunes like this one to empower motivate and remind us were not alone.
Tune: A Long Walk
Here's a favorite tune of mine off Jill's last album, "The Real Thing: Words and Sounds vol 3."
Tune: My Love
