R.I.P. General

Exactly a week ago General Norman Johnson passed away. A sweet soul voice, deep, eager, desperate, sometimes painful but most of the time sweet and soulful disappeared. Left to the world is some of the finest soul songs.



I believe that for most people the first time you hear Give Me Just A Little More Time you are taken aback. You can't move, just sit still and take it all in, dream away with the hopeful lyrics of a rejected lover, wonderful choirs, trumpets and near to howling. And after, you question yourself, 'why haven't I heard this before?' and then you go on playing it on repeat for hours.

If you have heard it before, Listen again. If you haven't, Listen on repeat.
