Aug 18, 2011 - Blues is preaching. This technique of making a speech while singing is an essential part of the Afro-American culture. You don't really understand the blues until you listen to the preacher in a black gospel church. They make use of the musical aspects of a sermon. And they do know how to give you goose bumps and how to leave the audience struck! That's why there are so many great spellbinders among the black community. They've learned it at church.

Dec 2, 2011 - She is paying tribute to Langston Hughes. He was an African-American writer. Here is the opening from his Wikipedia article. Look it up for the rest. Hope this helps.James Mercer Langston Hughes (February 1, 1902 -- May 22, 1967) was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist. He was one of the earliest innovators of the then-new literary art form jazz poetry. Hughes is best known for his work during the Harlem Renaissance.
