R&B Classics
By Robert T. Davenport
In the realm of timeless tunes, where R&B melodies reside,
There lies a collection of songs, where solace does confide.
They mend the shattered pieces, heal hearts that once were torn,
These classics, like a balm, forlorn souls they do adorn.
When life feels heavy, burdened by the weight of the day,
R&B classics come alive, to chase the clouds away.
With "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers, the sun begins to shine,
Its infectious groove and lyrics, a remedy so fine.
When love seems lost, and hope is but a distant dream,
R&B classics emerge, like a guiding beam.
"Let's Stay Together" by Al Green, a vow to hold on tight,
Its smooth and soulful rhythm, igniting love's pure light.
In moments of doubt, when confidence starts to wane,
R&B classics step in, to uplift and sustain.
With "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, strength is found anew,
Its empowering lyrics, a reminder of what we can do.
And when the world feels cold, and loneliness takes hold,
R&B classics warm the heart, with stories yet untold.
"Stand by Me" by Ben E. King, a promise to be there,
Its timeless melody, a reminder that someone cares.
From Marvin Gaye to Aretha Franklin, the legends of the past,
Their songs transcend time, their impact sure to last.
R&B classics, a soundtrack to life's highs and lows,
They fix any situation, and make our spirits glow.
So let us celebrate these songs, that bring us joy and peace,
Their melodies and lyrics, a sweet and soothing release.
In the realm of timeless tunes, where R&B melodies reside,
We find solace and healing, in every note and every stride.
