      I feel like you're missing out on the whole thing if you don't purchase this on vinyl in an actual record store. In summertime.

    Why can't I hear this on the radio? Why am I forced to listen to soulless shit with the same bass track and sophomoric lyrics. I need this in my life everyday. We need this in our life everyday. Music that reaches down into your soul. Makes you smile. Takes you on a journey that you never want to end. This is as perfect a song as you can get.

      Real soul music can't be mass produced hence mainstream doesn't care for it because soulless corps want da money

    Read that Leon wrote this song as a "touching biographical tribute to his mother." He's easily becoming my favorite artist.

    She was born in New Orleans
    New Orleans, Louisiana
    Branded with the name Lisa Sawyer
    Circa 1963
    Grandmother was Indian
    Indian
    Her mother's name was Eartha
    Swift as the wind
    Fierce as fire
    Her father's name was Victor
    Worked two jobs to provide for his flock
    She was the youngest of seven
    Seven
    She grew up on Louisa Street
    Chaos around but inside cozy
    Small but a mansion in her eyes
    Eyes, eyes, mansion
    Never had much money
    Money
    But was filthy rich
    With the wealth you couldn't get from a dark casino
    Or a lottery ticket
    They had love
    Love, love
    Rich in love
    She had the complexion of
    The complexion of a sweet praline
    Hair long as the sea
    Heart warm like Louisiana sun
    Voice like a symphony
    Of the most beautiful instruments
    Beautiful
    At the age of sixteen
    Sixteen
    She found Christ at an altar
    All along he was calling her name
    The gospel spoken from an old wrinkly man
    Man, man
    Gospel
    She was born in New Orleans
    She was born in New Orleans
    She was born in New Orleans
    New Orleans

    I don't post usually but this song combined with the thunder storm in which i walk home made me the happiest person alive. The flashes from the lighting seem that are in perfect tune with the song and i'm so peaceful . Great day to be alive. Peace and love to all of you
