Okay, it's catchy, it's tuneful, but damn, why do I have to hear so many Jesus songs?

Jesus saves, but Moses scores on the rebound. Ok, sorry about the unoriginal joke, but I lack imagination - we all have our crosses to bear :o)
I'll get me toga...

OK does anybody know what ever happened to Sonia Dada? A friend said he saw them this summer in Denver, but I don't believe him. I LOVE them, and saw them every New Years' Eve in Boulder for many years. sigh

Keep on playing my homies! A very underappreciated band.

One of my all-time favorite groups. Songs never fail to put a smile on my face and a groove in my feet! And their 'great songs' list is a long one: Lester's, New York City, Phases of the Moon, Planes & Satellites, You Ain't Thinking, You Don't Treat Me... Would love to hear all these (and more) in the RP playlist more often!

Sonia! Where have you been all these years?! I heard the vocals and my thoughts immediately went to Lester's! Woohoo! Thanks Bill!

Oh, come on - only two songs by these guys? Where's "Screaming John" and "Paradise" and "You Don't Treat Me No Good No More"? There are a bunch of great songs by Sonia Dada. Which reminds me - I have GOT to find all my Sonia Dada CDs and get some of that stuff uploaded onto my MP3 player.

First time I ever heard Sonia Dada was a song called "Screaming John" and it was so passionate and powerful that it had me frozen in awe. I love pretty much everything they've ever done - a VERY talented buncha guys!  |

Jesus saves! Then Old Nick latches onto the loose ball and scores from the rebound.

Pretty cool, I caught more of a gospel vibe to this tune though.  |

I thought it was Stevie Wonder at first and "wondered" why I hadn't heard it before....

Yes, and there are many Sonia Dada songs that are even better than this one. I'd like to start hearing some of them here!

Maybe on the beat.. but the vocals are far beyond Palmer's range. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. |
