bliss

Kid #1 is currently on a Woodstock jurney, and has been reading books about the politics etc behind the event, and listening up on some of the lesser known artists. This has seen us trawling the tube, and in amongst it all I found this. Had never seen this footage before, as it didn't make it to the WS film. My long time personal favourite of the 'unknowns', Bert Sommers.  Not exactly unknown NOW, but he certainly was then.  I've always loved this song, and his version of S&G's "America". The voice of seven angels, disappeared into obscurity right after WS, then died young.  Naturally.God would never let someone this beautiful and this talented live long.  It wouldn't be fair.

Put it on loud, and put it on repeat.  Then watch "The Voice" :p
