There was another event connected to this; listen carefully, and you can hear Grand Central playing.
Bernadette Anderson was head of the YWCA, so the connections.

I wonder if he sang Proud Mary, which by the way was the first song he learnt.

Great find indeed!

Waw!

Absolutely nice to hear him sing.

And he wasn't singing in falsetto...

-

And great find!

Just looked up 'Wildflower' by New Birth...

Not an easy song to sing or play.

Hope there's more to be discovered.

Everyone seems to find something these days.

I hear some of Prince's 'For You' album in/through this song...

I mean the original version by The New Birth...

Yep..."Baby" ('For You') sounds like it couldve been influenced by "Wild Flower"
