The Word Is Love

In this world we've got the choice to live together
Hand in hand we can weather the storm
But instead we go to war
And after wars are lost and won
After all is said and done
When push comes to shove

The Word Is Love

We can fight for our rights - wear our colors
Doesn’t matter - we're just crying to be free
But the way we go about it
Is the opposite of how we're supposed to work it out
Let's take off the gloves

The Word Is Love



Love is the key to the Kingdom
Silently spoken through our eyes- through our minds
Let us leave the past behind
And make a new start
And speak with our hearts
There's no other answer ‘cause love is the answer to life



City streets
The cities beat to something frightening
It's a lightening that's cracked through the town
It's striking people down
But we can turn this one around
By showing what we've found
From Heaven above

The Word Is Love

May was the best of times and the worst of times for more than a few reasons, and, of course, memorable as mentioned in the previous post. One of the people that are worthy of being memorable is the richly talented Rosalinde Block who will bring her "Block Party" to Prohibition on Monday evening in concert with the equally richly talented Ilene Kristen. Two musical angels creating an evening of straightforward and honest music. Go. Enjoy.

Recorded in New York, New York in February 1990. ( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
