00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Today's topic is Bobby King and Terry Evans. Will gather round, folks,

2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>because we're diving into the soulful sounds of Bobby King

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>and Terry Evans, a duo that set the stage ablaze

4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 1>in the early seventies and continue to captivate hearts well

5
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>into the nineties. Now we're talking about a special kind

6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of magic, blending gospel fervor with that irresistible RnB groove,

7
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>a blend that made them not just singers, but the

8
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>purveyors of soul. Their album Live and Let Live, Live

9
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 1>and Let Live came out in nineteen eighty eight and

10
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>shows how great they are. It's full of feelings, different beats,

11
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and lovely tunes. Even the famous Lou Reed liked it

12
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and included it in his Picks of nineteen eighty nine.

13
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>You know you have something special when big name artists

14
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>notice your talent. Now, why don't we dive deep into

15
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 1>the lyrics of that stand out song, Live and Let Live.

16
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>It starts out with lines people going here and there,

17
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 1>mind wondering everywhere, never giving life a second thought. It's

18
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a reflection of the hustle and bustle, the distractions of

19
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>modern life. Bobby and Terry bring those words to life

20
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>with their soulful harmonies, making us stop and think, I'm

21
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:04.840
