In Honor of Black History Month ...

Although at one time I may have celebrated Black History Month by listening to Run DMC's Proud to Be Black but I'm gonna take you way back with these Swinging tunes that are responsibly relevant for user friendly radio tunes you're spoonfed everyday ... ;)

For me music transcends societal barriers --- in 1982 I attended the "Fresh Festival" at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh and saw Kurtis Blow and Dougie Fresh and Run DMC and the Fat Boys, etc. and at University I spent hours in the library with headphones listening to albums of African drumming and old vintage American blues oft played and recorded on front porches ...

With President Obama in the White House this Black History Month is especially poignant...

"Happy" I (1972)

Rare footage of the Rolling Stones boys listening to Happy in a luxuriant hotel room, smoking and playing their album - then it cuts to the stage where they are working on Happy live - and then it cuts back to the hotel room for a little discussion at the end - And then at the end one of the boys asks, "did anybody order some drinks."
Below "Happy II" is the more worked-out version and overall polished of the two clips.
