One night we were talking and he asked me if I had ever heard of a song called ‘Healing Hands’. It is by the front man of a band known as Citizen’s Cope. Of course my R & B/ Neo-Soul self had no idea what he was talking about. Don’t get me wrong, I love an array of music. However, Jill Scott and Adele have been playing in my car for the past few months and it wasn’t until recently that I completely download all of my music onto my new iPod and I’ve had it for months. So, I am totally unfamiliar as to what comes on the radio or even if the station I am listening to is ‘popular’ nowadays. My time has long passed the hip hop stations (there is but so much Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Wayne I can take), can’t listen to old school R&B all day (every time I hear a Temptations song I think of Leon as David Ruffin), so I figure I am somewhere in between.
When I finally had the chance to hear the song, this is what I heard…Soul! And now, every time I hear it, it reminds me of him.
