Not Great Folks

Fifty years ago today, a mountain of coal waste buried the Welsh village of Aberfan. 144 people died, including 116 children trapped in a school.

BBC reporter Gareth Bowen covered the rescue effort. Here & Now's Lisa Mullins spoke with his son, Jeremy Bowen, who is now the BBC's Middle East editor.

#Chicago #Illinois based #r&b and #soul #singer #songwriter Brandon James's new single "So Emotional," links together a tremendously charismatic set of vocals with taut instrumentation. The song brings in hints of soul, #funk, and #1970's r&b with unique vocals into every note. The dynamic between the vocals and the horn is the focal point of the single’s second minute before a more contemplative sound begins to dominate. By the end you will be left discovering a great new song and artist or adding another one of Brandon's songs to your #playlist. Check out the new single today and leave a comment and a like if you love it :)
