All About the Music.

For the next coming issues, we'll be featuring an artist and a series of their outstanding hits. We'll start with Gene McDaniels. This artist's vocalising skills are certainly up there in class. His music dates back to the 1960s. For those you  who love to really show your dancing skills, McDaniels' music falls easily into this fit. We'll start with "A Hundred Pounds Of Clay"  

A Hundred Pounds Of Clay

Aah-aah, aah-aah
Aah-aah, ooh-ooh,
He took a hundred pounds of clay
And then he said, "Hey listen
I'm gonna fix this a-world today
Because I know what's missing

Then he rolled his big sleeve up
And a brand new world began
He created a woman and-a lots of lovin' for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes He did.

With just a hundred pounds of clay
He made my life worth living
And I will thank Him everyday
For every kiss you're givin'

And I'll thank Him every night
For the arms that are holding me tight
And He did it all with just a hundred pounds of clay
Yes he did Whoa-oh yes He did

Now can'tcha just seeing Him a-walking round and round
Picking the clay up off the ground?
Doing just what He should do
To make a living dream like you

He rolled his big sleeve up 
And a brand new world began
He created a woman and-a lots of loving for a man
Whoa-oh-oh yes He did
With just a hundred pounds of clay

People let me tell ya what He did
With just a hundred pounds of clay
Whoa-oh-oh
