If its magic?

Sitting down and listening to "Songs in the Key of Life" I asked myself a question? Where are the new Stevie's of today? Seriously Where are they? Cause let me tell you through all these 15 to 20 track albums, I cant find them.

I know I am moving into very contested territory when speaking about musical taste, but damn it can you name me any one who can undeniably be considered a modern-day legend? A name that can live beside the likes of Robert Allen Zimmerman, Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr, The Beatles, Stevland Hardaway Morris, Aretha Louise Franklin, The Rolling Stones,Robert Nesta Marley and so many others of yester-year.

Maybe its time that considers who falls into the category of legendary popular musical status, but I have a feeling that when Blond on Blond or Whats going on or Sergeant Pepper or Talking Book or Let it bleed or Exodus came out people just knew, knew that what they where listening to was something special.

So my question again, wheres our generations Marvin? Stevie? Beatles?

Is it Coldplay? Beyonce? Kanye?

Really? If so god help this generation.

I think that the golden generation (1960- 1987)was temporary because the magic was not everlasting like the sun that always shines (too corny?).

Take it away Stevie:



Good-day.
