God Bless Our Family
Understanding from the Heart (Poem in Video)
From Footprints Special Collectors Edition
We may indeed hear and never understand.
We may see and never perceive.
For peoples hearts grow faint,
Their ears heavy with eyes closed.
Unless we perceive with our eyes and ears,
Only then can we have understanding from the heart.I thank God always, because I hear the love & faith
That you have towards the Lord
And I pray that the sharing of your faith
Promotes the love of Jesus Christ for God always. For we derive such comfort and joy,
For loves sake, that love should always be given. For our love towards each other should be so genuine. And it shall be
That our prayers are so answered,
And our souls so saved,
By the Understanding from the Heart.

Description: The Bar-Kays singing Son Of Shaft before a live audience of 100,000 people at the Los Angeles Coliseum on August 20, 1972. This event was part of the Wattstax concert festival that year, which was organized by the Memphis, Tennessee Stax Record Label to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots and black power, pride, culture, tradition and heritage struggle. The party and peaceful atmosphere of Wattstax was seen by some as "the African Americans answer to Woodstock", and the Reverend Jesse Jackson gave the invocation, which included his "I Am - Somebody" poem, which was recited in a call and response with the assembled stadium crowd. There was a film (Wattstax) directed by Mel Stuart which was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Documentary Film in 1974.

More on The Bar-Kays:
The Bar-Kays are a popular soul, R&B, and funk group which began performing in 1966 and continue to perform today, although with only one original member. They began in Memphis, Tennessee as a favorite recording studio session musician group, backing major artists at Stax Records. They were chosen in 1967 by Otis Redding to play as his backing band.
On 10 December 1967, Redding, his manager, and band members Jimmy King (b. 1949; guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (b. 1948; organ), Phalon Jones (b. 1949; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (b. 1949; drums) died in a plane crash in Lake Monona while on their way to a performance in Madison, Wisconsin. Trumpeter Ben Cauley survived the crash and bassist James Alexander (who missed the flight due to returning a rental car) rebuilt the group. The reformed band consisted of Cauley; Alexander; Harvey Henderson, saxophone; Michael Toles, guitar; Ronnie Gorden, organ; Willie Hall, drums and later Larry Dodson, lead vocals. The group backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings afterwards, including on Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul album, and changed direction in the 1970s to have a successful funk music career on Mercury Records. They continued to score hits on R&B charts well into the 1980s and have performed all over the world. The band took a hiatus in the late 1980s, but then reformed in 1991 with Alexander as the only remaining original member.
Lloyd Smith joined The Bar-Kays in 1973.

Note
In the movie Spies Like Us, starring Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase, The Bar-Kays' hit "Soul Finger" is the favorite song of the crew of a Soviet mobile ICBM platform on patrol in Tajikistan S.S.R.
Dan Aykroyd also covered "Soul Finger" with John Belushi and their band, The Blues Brothers, on one of their albums.
James Alexander's son is award-winning rapper and music producer Phalon "Jazze Pha" Alexander, who was named after Phalon Jones.
Their songs "Too Hot to Stop" and "Soul Finger" are featured in the 2007 film Superbad.

Title: "Magic Bird of Fire" by Salsoul Orchestra-Video Mix by Glenn
Description: Magic Bird of Fire by The Salsoul Orchestra Video Mix by Glenn Rivera
The 1963 Alfred Hitchcock horror classic, The Birds is the outline for The Salsoul Orchestras disco-fied Russian-ballet, The Firebird by Stravinsky from 1910.
Magic Bird of Fire is a wonderful outline for the disco symphony that made disco music widely acceptable for its layered disco arrangements. The 1977 LP The Journey Continues was produced by Vincent Montana, Jr. and also featured Runaway with Loleatta Holloway, their Grammy winning cover of Earth Wind and Fires Getaway, as well as the 1976 theme from the Montreal Olympics.

Title: Isaac Hayes scores Shaft film - Café Reggio & Shaft Theme 1971
Description: Isaac Hayes was born in Covington, Tennessee in 1942, the second-born child of Isaac Sr. and Eula Hayes, but after their deaths was raised by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Wade, Sr. The child of a poor family, he grew up picking cotton in Covington. He dropped out of high school, only to be encouraged later by his former high school teachers at Manassas High to get his diploma. He earned his diploma at the age of 21. He began singing at the age of five at his local church, and, soon after, he taught himself how to play the piano, electronic organ, flute, and saxophone.
In early 1971, Hayes composed music for the soundtrack of the blaxploitation film Shaft. (in the movie, he also appeared in a cameo role as the bartender of No Name Bar). The title theme, with its wah-wah guitar and multi-layered symphonic arrangement, would become a worldwide hit single, and spent two weeks at number one in the Billboard Hot 100 in November. The remainder of the album was mostly instrumentals covering big beat jazz, bluesy funk, and hard Stax-styled soul. The other two vocal songs, the social commentary "Soulville" and the nineteen-minute jam "Do Your Thing," would be edited down to hit singles. Hayes won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the Theme from Shaft, and was nominated for Best Original Dramatic Score for the film's score.
More on Shaft the movie:
Shaft is a 1971 American film directed by Gordon Parks and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. An action film with elements of film noir, Shaft tells the story of a black private detective, John Shaft, who travels through Harlem and to the Italian mob in order to find the missing daughter of a black mobster. It stars Richard Roundtree as Shaft, Moses Gunn as Bumpy Jonas, Charles Cioffi as Lt. Vic Androzzi, Christopher St. John as Ben Buford, and Gwenn Mitchell and Lawrence Pressman in smaller roles. The movie was adapted by Ernest Tidyman and John D. F. Black from Tidyman's 1971 novel of the same name.
The movie is widely considered a prime example of the blaxploitation genre. The Shaft soundtrack album, recorded by Isaac Hayes, was also a success, with the "Theme from Shaft" winning the 1972 Academy Award for Best Original Song.
In 2000, Shaft was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Tagline
The mob wanted Harlem back. They got Shaft...up to here.
Production for Shaft the movie
According to Melvin Van Peebles, the original production was of a white detective story, but after the success of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971), the original script was scrapped in favor of an adaptation of Ernest Tidyman's 1970 novel Shaft, which focused on an African-American detective. Tidyman, who was white, was an editor at The New York Times prior to becoming a novelist. He sold the movie rights to Shaft by showing the galley proofs to the studio (the novel had not yet been published). Tidyman was honored by the NAACP for his work on the Shaft movies and books.
Box office and Academy Awards
The film was a surprising and runaway box-office success, grossing $12 million, with a budget of only $1,125,000. Isaac Hayes won an Academy Award for Best Music, Song for "Theme from Shaft". Hayes was also nominated for Best Music, Original Dramatic Score.
Sequels
Two sequels were made: Shaft's Big Score in 1972, and Shaft in Africa in 1973. These were followed by a series of TV movies starring Roundtree as Shaft on CBS during the 1973-1974 TV season.
In 2000, a sequel was made featuring Samuel L. Jackson in the title role (see Shaft (2000 film)). Jackson plays the nephew of Richard Roundtree's character; Roundtree returns as John Shaft, still a private eye, trying to get his nephew to join him.

Description: Gato Barbieri
アルゼンチン出身のジャズ・サックス奏者
Leandro Barbieri (born on November 28, 1934 in Rosario, Santa Fe Province, Argentina) better known as Gato Barbieri (Spanish for "Barbieri the Cat") is an Argentine jazz tenor saxophonist and composer who rose to fame during the free jazz movement in the 1960s and from his latin jazz recordings in the 1970s. [1]Born to a family of musicians, Barbieri began playing music after hearing Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time." He played the clarinet, then the alto saxophone while performing with the Argentine pianist Lalo Schifrin in the late 1950s. By the early 1960s, while in Rome, he was playing the tenor saxophone, and also worked with the trumpeter Don Cherry. By now influenced by John Coltrane's late recordings, as well as those from other 'Free jazz' saxophonists such as Albert Ayler and Pharoah Sanders, the warm and gritty tone, which would become his trademark sound, began to develop. In the late 1960s, he was fusing musics from South America into his playing and contributed to multi-artist projects like Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra and Carla Bley's Escalator Over The Hill. His score for Bernardo Bertolucci's film Last Tango in Paris earned him a Grammy Award and led to a record deal with Impulse! Records.
By the late 1970s he was working for A&M Records, and moved his music towards jazz-pop with albums like Caliente (with his best known song, Carlos Santana's Europa).
Though he continued to record and perform into the 1980s, the death of his wife Michelle led him to withdraw from the public arena. He returned to recording and performing in the late 1990s, playing music that would fall into the arena of smooth jazz.
Nancy Savoca and her husband, Rich Guay, are working on a documentary of Barbieri's life and work.

Title: Sound Creating Form
Description: See the power of sound creating form. The Sufi Master Hazart Khan states "People say the soul on hearing the song of creation entered the body but, in reality the soul itself was the song". Francis Crick, Co-Discoverer of DNA: "Consciousness is somehow a by-product of the simultaneous, high-frequency firing of neurons in different parts of the brain. It's the meshing of these frequencies that generates consciousness, just as tones from individual instruments produce the rich, complex, and seamless sounds of a symphony orchestra." Beethoven "Music is the mediator between the life of senses and the life of spirit." From the Bible: "In the beginning was the WORD (meaning Primary Harmony) and the WORD was with God and God SAID Let there be light." ..."And the WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth" John1:14. Goethe: "Architecture is crystallized music." Rudolph Steiner: "The Science of the future will be based on sympathetic vibrations." Isaac Stern, renowned violinist: "Everything we do is connected to music. Civilization is based on a certain level of discipline and order, and this is the essence of the structure of music." Leonard Bernstein "I believe that from the earth emerges a musical poetry which is by the nature of its source tonal. I believe that these sources cause to exist a phonology of music, which evolves from the universal known as the harmonic series. And that there is an equally universal musical syntax which can be codified and structured in terms of symmetry and repetition." Paramahansa Yogananda, The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita: "In the microcosmic universe of the body of man, the Aum vibrations works trough the vital activities in the astral spinal centers of life with their creative vibratory elements (tattvas) of earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Through these, mans body is created, enlivened, and sustained. These vibrations emit characteristic vibrations of Pranava as they operate. The devotee whose consciousness becomes attuned to these inner astral sounds finds himself gradually ascending to higher states of realization. The Sufi Hazrat Kahn: "Music should be healing, music should uplift the soul, music should inspire; then there is no better way of getting closer to God, of rising higher towards the spirit, of attaining spiritual perfection, than music, if only it is rightly understood."

Black Box:
Real Name: Daniele Davoli, Mirko Limoni, Valerio Semplici, Martha Wash, Charvoni
Profile: One of the leading exponents of a wave of Italian house music that flourished on the dancefloors of the late 80s and early 90s, Black Box comprised three Italian studio musicians (Daniele Davoli, Mirko Limoni and Valerio Semplici), collectively known as Groove Groove Melody. Based in the Reggio Emilia area of northern Italy, and made frequent use of "singer" Katrine (b. Catherine Quinol, Paris, France, of Guadelope descent). Semplici was a clarinet teacher and played in the La Scala Classical Music Orchestra in Milan. Davoli was a well-known Italian club DJ (known as DJ Lelewel), largely at the Marabu Starlight Club, while Limoni was the computer and keyboard whizz kid of the trio and had previously engineered for Italian pop act Spagna. The Groove Groove Melody team were established as one of the top two production outfits in Italian dance music, churning out more than a dozen singles a year in their native country. Katrine was spotted by Spagna's guitarist at a club, and, after introductions, featured as vocalist on "Ride On Time". The single became the first of a series of Italian house records to crossover to the UK charts, staying at number 1 for six weeks in 1989. Controversy reigned when it was realized that the single had sampled the voice of singer Loleatta Holloway from the "Love Sensation" single she made with Dan Hartman in the late 70s. An agreement was eventually worked out with Salsoul (who owned the rights) as both companies benefited from 800,000 UK sales. The Groove Groove Melody team were also behind the production of Starlight's "Numero Uno" and Mixmaster, The's "Grand Piano", another prime example of "Italo-house", and another crossover hit. Under seven or more pseudonyms, they turned out numerous further records. However, as Black Box, their hits included "I Don't Know Anybody Else" (also based on "Love Sensation"), "Everybody Everybody" (the last of the "Ride On Time" trilogy), "Strike It Up", and "Fantasy", a revamp of the Earth, Wind & Fire hit, all of which featured an uncredited Martha Wash on vocals and broke them into the US market. They were also responsible for, among other remixes, ABC's 1991 comeback single, "Say It". Their mid-90s singles, "Not Anyone" (featuring new vocalist Charvoni), "I Got The Vibration", and "Native New Yorker", enjoyed limited chart success.

Title: Black Box - Strike it up (D. J. Lelewel mix)
Description: The first time I've heard this song (namely this version), I was about 10 years old.
I will never forget this voice!
The voice of Martha Wash (not in the video).
Why? I don't know. I just love it.
Along with this funky accompaniment and rhythm, this is one perfect song. I don't have yet the lyrics (female & male) and it's a problem for me to find it. The song also - I have searched it for years (like many other songs).

Title: Caldera _ Exhaltation
Description: With Wayne Henderson of Crusaders fame handling the production, Caldera showed a great deal of promise on its self-titled 1976 debut album. The Latin jazz-fusion unit isn't afraid to take chances on such imaginative pieces as Jorge Strunz's "El Juguete" and Eduardo del Barrio's "Exaltation" -- chances that pay off in a major way. Though one can tell that Caldera's members were well aware of such explorers as Return to Forever, Weather Report, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, it's also clear that they were major Earth, Wind & Fire fans and had absorbed a wide variety of Latin music. Strunz and del Barrio were hardly the only fusionists who incorporated Latin rhythms in the 1970s -- Chick Corea, George Duke, Wayne Shorter, Al DiMeola, and Joe Zawinul were all well aware of the musical innovations of Latinos, but Caldera was unique in the sense that the band represented a real melting pot of Latinos bringing different ideas to the table. And on this LP, those ideas work magnificently.

Title: Steven Brown and Marc Lerchs - By Night
Description: Comment la chanson "Il y avait" figurant sur le premier single de Lara Fabian est devenue l'instrumental "By Night" ... Toute l'histoire:
-----------------
Story of this music "By Night " (variations sur le thème de " Il y avait " - Lara Fabian).
CHAPTER ONE:
In 1987, Marc Lerchs, a young belgian composer (http://www.marclerchs.net ), was in the RTBF's studio, to record a single for the french singer Lara Fabian.
He asked his friend, Steven Brown (Tuxedomoon) to add a sax solo on the song "Il y Avait" (face B).
Steven took his soprano sax, and made an outstanding improvisation on all the song.
The second take was the good one.
Nikolas Klau, who used to perform with Steven Brown many times, add himself a bass track.
Recorded @ RTBF by Yvan Léonard.
Mixed @ RTBF by Marc Lerchs.
The Lara Fabian's first single was a success: she was choosen to go to the Eurosong contest in Dublin in 1988.
But the composer keeps only the sax solo on the song "Il y avait", and all the rest of the sax improvisation was lost. (You can listen "Il y avait" on Youtube (search Lara Fabian + Il y avait ) .
Few months later, the composer of the song did an instrumental remix, with the full sax track.
This is the music here posted.
This music was called "By Night", signed by Steven Brown and Marc Lerchs, and copyrighted @ the belgium Sabam.

CHAPTER TWO
In 2002, Marc Lerchs was in charge with the EURO BRIDGE SHOW. He decided to perform on stage the music "By Night", with a symphonic orchestra, and an outstanding musician, Steve Houben.

On 1 January 2002, 300 million European citizens will exchange the first euros. A key date in the
process of building Europe. The single currency will be introduced in twelve Member States of
the European Union, including Belgium. To mark this decisive step, the Belgian Minister of
Finance, President of the Eurogroup, Didier Reynders, the European Commissioner for
Economic and Monetary Affairs, Pedro Solbes, and the Governor of the National Bank of
Belgium, representative of the Eurosystem, Guy Quaden, in partnership with the Minister-
President of the Brussels-Capital Region, François-Xavier de Donnéa and of the Mayor of the City of Brussels, Freddy Thielemans, have decided to celebrate the event in a special way.
On 31 December, the esplanade in the Cinquantenaire park in Brussels will host a colourful symphonic sound and light show broadcast live by the RTBF. "This event is intended to impress on the general public the exceptional nature of the changeover to the single currency, the outcome of which represents a popular success" explains Marc Lerchs, designer of
the event.
At the centre of this original design are the symbols featured on the banknotes of the future
single currency: doors and windows, symbolising openness, bridges and footbridges acting as an
invitation to travel and bringing people closer together". The long march toward Europe -- for which the introduction of a single currency is a crucial stage -- is accompanied by the music of the Belgian composer Dirk Brossé played by the European Festival Orchestra.
Dirk Brossé and Marc Lerchs has written a recital in four acts supported by soloists and special effects spread out over the whole site.
The four acts symbolise a journey based on four elements -- earth, air, water and fire -- which the artists use to show us around a rich and multifaceted Europe.
Europe's variety is reflected in its citizens, its traditions, languages and landscapes. Its wealth is also apparent in its cultural, scientific and industrial expertise.
Under the spotlights, the European story is told in music provided by a variety of artists. Among them, the famous jazz musician Steve Houben will be performing "By Night", a solo saxophone piece composed in 1988 by Steven Brown (Tuxedomoon) and Marc Lerchs.
The Belgian painter Dominiq Fournal will
display abstract works and videograms; the Phoenix Firedancers will juggle with fire while the
Pastoureaux choir, under the direction of Bernard Pagniez, will fill us with thrilling emotions.
Like a pointillist work, a vast panorama will gradually unfold before our eyes.
