RBR Guest Gospel Hour: Bama's movin' on up

 

This soulful, funky song by the great Curtis Mayfield struck me as particularly relevant given the recent trends in our football program.  So sit back, relax, and get funky while Nick Saban, Curtis Mayfield, and Alabama Football move on up.  Enjoy the classic sounds of Curtis Mayfiled from his first solo album, the funky and seminal "Curtis." 

 

Todd, I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here, but we've just gotta start movin' on up, baby!  Also, I want to see Fluker get funky to this song.

Great jam Bama Philosophe!

Very apropos, and I’m so glad it was the George Jefferson (Weejee!) Mov(in’) On Up song. Hey, on a sidenote- ever heard that “So In Love” song by Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. It kinda reflects the same ‘Bama tradition of undying, unyielding love most Tiders have. Here’s a link(it will be in a new tab/window) and the lyrics (below) of that one:

Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions – “So In Love”

SO IN LOVE
SO IN LOVE, YOU DO SO MANY THINGS WITH A SMILING FACE.
SO IN LOVE, EVERYTIME WE KISS, IT’S SUCH A PLEASANT TASTE.
THAT’S WHY I KNOW THIS FEELINGS GOOD STRONG, TRIAL & ERROR WE SEEM TO GET ALONG.
I WANNA TESTIFY IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.
LET ME RECTIFY I MEAN IT HONESTLY (OOH)
LIFE IS CRAZY, BELIEVE ME, IT IS TRUE (OOH)
WE DON’T ALWAYS MEAN, THE THINGS WE SOMETIMES DO.
I COULD BE, YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE, YOU KNOW WE’RE SO IN LOVE.
LAY ME DOWN, REST AWHILE, YOU’RE MOVING MY EMOTIONS.
SO IN LOVE, YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY, YOU HAVE MY DEVOTION.
THIS LOVE AFFAIR IS BIGGER THAN WE TWO,
LOSE OUR FAITH, AND IT WILL SWALLOW YOU.
LOVING YOU, IS WHY I’LL ALWAYS FEEL. NEVER EVER DOING THINGS AGAINST OUR WILL
NATURAL THINGS, NEVER REQUIRE ANY KIND OF TEST, BEING YOU AND I BEING ME, YOU DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE REST
(IN MY HEART I WANNA STRESS), YOU GOT ME SO IN LOVE [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
SO IN LOVE,I TRIED TO DO THE BEST THAT A MAN CAN DO.
SO IN LOVE, THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS,
IS SEE EACH OTHER THROUGH.
SO IN LOVE, SO IN LOVE
LAY DOWN REST AWHILE YOUR MOVING MY EMOTIONS.
SO IN LOVE.

btw: the names “Curtis” and “Claudel” and in the latter part of my childhood- “Alexander” were names I used to give as the alter-ego of my misbehaving-bad-self as a boy.
“Curtis DID IT!”
“Claudel MADE ME!”
“Alexander was THE ONE!”

They NEVER worked. (It was “I” who got the whoopin’)

Comer4tide to Nico2.0: "How come I've never heard of any of your random songs?"
Todd to Comer: "Because if you had, he wouldn't listen to it. BOOM. Roasted."
Nico to Todd: "Shouldn't you be off voguing somewhere?"

“so glad that it WASN’T the George Jefferson. . . .”
