about

This song was written by one of my musical heroes: the Great Gil Scott Heron. He was a strong Black revolutionary who moved mountains through the messages in his music and poetry.
This track is dedicated to the Great Mark Ruffin who has produced 2 full Cd's of Gil Scott Music performed by current artist's.
This track was performed by GREAT Chicago musicians: Hamid Drake on drums, Smokin Joseph Thomas on bass, Bethany Pickens on keys, Abdul Hakeem on guitar and Phil Perkins on trumpet.
STORM MUSIC is spreading it's wings like a Byrd, and this music chants down evil in high and low places.

lyrics

What's that music playin' on the radio?
What's that music playin' everywhere I go?
I don't think I've ever heard
A sweeter feelin' in the whole wide world
Than that music playin' in my heart.
From time to time the darkness comes along
To terrorize the weak and challenge the strong.
The storm is coming, it grows on the waves
From Johannesburg to Montego Bay.
What's that music playin' on the radio?
What's that music playin' everywhere I go?
I don't think I've ever seen
Another music that could make me feel
Like that music playin' in my heart.
Justice is coming on the wings of the storm.
We resist in the present for those yet unborn.
Freedom is spreading like the wings of a bird
And the message it carries has got to be heard.
What's that music playin' on the radio?
What's that music playin' everywhere I go?
I don't think I've ever heard
A sweeter feelin' in the whole wide world
Than that music playin' in my heart.
