Danger Zone--so applicable these dayze...

The Danger Zone written and performed by Percy Mayfield; later by other more popular singers like Ray Charles and Ann Wilson. This song is so relevant right now... It was Ann Wilson's live performance of the song that brought it to my attention--she sings the HELL out of it!

You go, Ann! music

Percy Mayfield's original version:

"The Danger Zone"

Sad and lonely all the time
That's because I've got a worried mind
You know the world is in an uproar
The danger zone is everywhere, everywhere
Just read your paper
And you'll see
Just exactly what keeps worryin' me
Yeah, you'll see the world is in an uproar
The danger zone is everywhere
My love for the world is like always
For the world is a part of me
That's why I'm so afraid
Of the progress that's being made
Toward eternity
Every morning, noon, and night
Finds me hoping that everything's alright
Mm-hmm, the world is in an uproar
The danger zone is everywhere

.

A better voice for the song than Percy's in my opinion was Ray Charles:

But, in the end, it was Ann Wilson's soulful rendition live that moved me the most... And this week, the song seems all too relevant...
