Roberta Flack generously added her voice, her presence to truly great songs.
This track, of Les McCann (by Gene McDaniels) hit the airwaves in 1969.
Her beautiful piano and vocals brought enhanced love to songs by MacColl, Dylan, Cohen...

A rare thing, a jazz protest song. #LesMcCann #EddieHarris
"The President, he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt, they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers, all without one nut. God damn it!
Tryin' to make it real, #ComparedToWhat?

Song of the Day:
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt they call it treason
We're all chicken-feathers without one gut
Tryin' to make it real but compared to what

It doesn’t have to GET real, it’s already BEEN real, for probably quite a while, if the average human capacity for processing anything bigger that doesn’t include them species as possible. It’s as real as it’s ever gonna get. Unlike reality TV, there’s not much of an edit function. #ComparedToWhat

😄 It's ALL relative.

#ComparedToWhat 🎶
since its debut the Prime NFL operation has looked like a student-run high school news show. now, watching it after Netflix’s NFL attempt, Prime looks like a community college broadcast. it’s all relative.

I met Les McCann one night ina #jazz club/restaurant in #ShermanOaks in #LosAngeles. He asked if he could sit at our table. What a stroke of luck. We talked about music and he humbly mentioned that he played #piano.

No Skips #albumchallenge: 20 albums LP that (for me) are track-to-track flawless. Not always my top of the stack but always good to spin. One album per day for 20 days, in no particular order, no explanations, no reviews.

2/20

I’m a big fan of @kenwhite.bsky.social.

But anyone who complains about the Detroit airport has no memory of Michigan in the 20th century.

#Gratitude
Me: Ugh I have been sitting for days on this trip I feel gross
Detroit Airport: Can I offer you a three-mile walk from security to your gate
Me: PERFECT
[Later]
DA: Are . . . Are you using the mobile walkway
Me: It would be rude not to
DA: …
Me: IT SAYS IT IS FOR MY COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE

Roberta Flack (1937–2025)

I won’t be the first or last to post her songs today, but I’m playing Compared to What. If you’ve heard it, you know. If you haven’t, you really should. A voice, a message, a legacy.
