It was Wednesday April 3, 2024. 8 o’clock pm. After waking up to body chills and sleepwalking through the day with fatigue I decided to listen to music to help me relax. After a brief moment of deliberation it was Barry White’s “Your Game Baby” for the first song.
So after listening to the song once I play it again. As the song plays my mind inexplicably takes me back the the 1970s. I begin to crave more 70s music. For the next two days I listen to Barry White, Heatwave, GQ, the Ohio Players. And then….
I realize the I had never watched some of the classic movies of the era. So Friday night I turn on “A Piece of the Action”. The acting, cinematography and language are dated by today’s standards but the movie’s theme and representation of the culture at that time were entertaining. So much so that……
On Saturday I watch “Uptown Saturday Night”. On Sunday I watch “Let’s Do It Again”. I had never seen these classic movies in their entirety until now. So much history. So many iconic actors. So many beautiful actresses. So much influence.
I don’t know why my mind guided me to the music and movies of the 70s, but my body, soul and spirit were much better on Monday morning.
