Day 21: A song from the 60s
Ishida Ayumi passed away two weeks ago. She was a legendary actress, singer, and one of the first performers to get the label of idol. Her singing and musical style may seem archaic now, even from a 1960s standpoint, but I find it beautiful. Her voice had some distinct qualities stemming from training in shigin, japanese folk singing.
Rest in peace

Day 21: A song from the 60s.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe is The Godmother of Rock and Roll. From early on in her long career, she mixed gospel with blues in a way that hadn't been done before. It damaged some of her reputation in the gospel fan set, but that didn't matter to her, and was one of the main keystones to modern music. She broke ground in a number of ways, including being one of the first artists to use electric guitar back when she started in the 30s, then adding distortion, paving the way for the electric blues. She was also a big, beautiful, lesbian woman of color in a male-dominated world, and chose to tour with her partner along side her, regardless of the dangers. She was the first Soul Sister, a pioneer, and a hero.
This clip is from a tour she did in the mid-60s in Manchester, England. It was recorded at a train station, in the rain, her powerful voice ringing even near the end of her career. She had been criminally overlooked as an influence, but she was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. I don't have a lot of respect for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they fucking got that one right.

This is pretty much a teenager's journal entry but set to music. Seeing everyone of your peers around you being in love while you roam alone, and sad.

Great choice. My father talked about this - Muddy Waters was on the same bill. The disused train station in Whalley Range was where it was filmed.
Loads of British bluesman like Page, Clapton, Richards travelled to Manchester to see Tharpe and Waters in both 1963/4 and were all heavily influenced by what they saw. So, it's damn right that she's in the RnR HoF.

The history of WOC in the UK and Ireland is different from that in the US, with many of their families only settling here post WW2.
I'm trying to only post British/Irish singers with this prompt.
Both Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett were Jamaican/British singers and original members of Boney M

Day 22: A song from the 70's
I grew up listening to a lot of Motown and damn, it's hard to pick just one. All these Motown hits remind me of long car rides as a kid, little did I know how lucky I was to be listening to some of the best music as opposed to some bullshit kids albums.
