Great concept, video and performances from artists doing it their own way here in my adopted homebase of Richmond, VA. There’s definitely something to be said for support and working together and I applaud everyone involved here for a job well done. As we’ve talked about many times in these pages here, there’s just something about a classic song and add the extra layer of sentiment contained in these lyrics and well… you have an anthem for a movement. Make sure to check out Black RVA’s site here.

Music from the upcoming Sony Music release Wake Up, a collection of classic soul covers from the Roots and John Legend due out September 21st.
