Welcome to THIS edition of GOOD QUESTION, brought to you exclusively by THISent.com! I’m your host, “Word Heavyweight Champion” Mr. Joe Walker.
Throughout my illustrious career as an entertainment writer and journalist, I’ve been blessed with opportunities to speak with many notable and famous persons. One of those is award-winning R&B legend Johnny Gill.
During our conversation I asked the Gill THIS good question: How are love songs different now than they were 20 years ago?
He answered, “You know what? It’s still an important language today, but what’s different is the messenger.
If you live in Japan, you’re going to speak a different language. Even though we speak English and we’ve had the same music, I think different generations and their messengers have their different ways of delivering their messages. I respect that.
[Twenty] years ago when we sang about love it was put on your red dress and some of that sweet perfume, today they’re speaking a different type of language to a different generation. But I don’t discredit their feelings and how they identify love.
This is how they were taught. This is how they convey it. This is their connection to what love is.” |THIS.
