Since the passing of Michael I'm starting to listen to music that I haven't heard since I was a child. I'm not that old (I'm 22) but being raise in a mostly Black and Latino home I always pay respect to those who came before.Since the Source.com made June Black History Music month I wanna pay tribute to the great Black artist from the past. The irony we have lost one of the greatest iconic black artist of are time Michael Jackson but his music well live on for centuries to come. I notice a lot of Asian seem to be influence by black modern music but you should know where it roots come from.

Billy Paul "Me and Mrs Jones"

There is a reason why he is called the God Father of soul.' his voice demands your attention and you can't help but listen. Christina Aguilera perform the song in memory of him at 2007 Grammy's awards. She did an excellent damn good job.Sister has much soul in her heart.

Aretha Franklin "Chain of Fools"

Rob Zombie re-did this given it a scary rock funk feel like no other.

There is plenty of more I'm only showing a short few.

My skin maybe glass but my heart is made of steel you can pierce it,set it on fire,beat it with a sludge hammer but it will not falter, you can have my body, my mind, destroy my identity but not the soul that lies within me ,the female Warrior Spirit
