Every Thursday in February, Eight Forty-Eight and Radio M host Tony Sarabia and WBEZ’s Richard Steele share some deep cuts from the African-American catalog.
This week, they picked five songs, including a James Brown track in which the Godfather of Soul sings partly in Spanish and a Morgan Freeman cut from the kids show The Electric Company.
Tony’s picks:
James Brown, “Please, Please, Please”
Billie Holiday, “You’re My Thrill”
Richard’s picks:
Morgan Freeman, “Shoo, Shoo Sunshine”
Hannibal with The Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim, “You Can Find a Way”, Playing for Change, “Higher Ground”
