Speaker 1: Today's topic is Bobby King and Terry Evans. Will gather round, folks,
Speaker 1: because we're diving into the soulful sounds of Bobby King
Speaker 1: and Terry Evans, a duo that set the stage ablaze
Speaker 1: in the early seventies and continue to captivate hearts well
Speaker 1: into the nineties. Now we're talking about a special kind
Speaker 1: of magic, blending gospel fervor with that irresistible RnB groove,
Speaker 1: a blend that made them not just singers, but the
Speaker 1: purveyors of soul. Their album Live and Let Live, Live
Speaker 1: and Let Live came out in nineteen eighty eight and
Speaker 1: shows how great they are. It's full of feelings, different beats,
Speaker 1: and lovely tunes. Even the famous Lou Reed liked it
Speaker 1: and included it in his Picks of nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1: You know you have something special when big name artists
Speaker 1: notice your talent. Now, why don't we dive deep into
Speaker 1: the lyrics of that stand out song, Live and Let Live.
Speaker 1: It starts out with lines people going here and there,
Speaker 1: mind wondering everywhere, never giving life a second thought. It's
Speaker 1: a reflection of the hustle and bustle, the distractions of
Speaker 1: modern life. Bobby and Terry bring those words to life
Speaker 1: with their soulful harmonies, making us stop and think, I'm
