The line "I see you walking down the street, pretty baby, with your hand on your hip. Make your backbone slip." at around 6:36: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9vROjzy9uI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9vROjzy9uI</a><br /><br />Thanks for introducing me to that band.

Make your backbone slip." In other live versions in concert (which can be found on YouTube), he includes similar lines. On the studio album "Departure," however, this line is not included. The song has a blues feel to it whereas most of Journey's songs would be classified as rock. Steve Perry really enjoyed this feel of music, apparently, as he always cited Sam Cooke as one of his earliest musical influences.Jeanenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694872410994961007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-79473207290482979932014-09-18T10:10:51.515-04:002014-09-18T10:10:51.515-04:00Thanks, anonymous!

The editors of that blog indicated that that post was not suitable for publication on their site because they didn't believe that the subject of the African American traditions of jumping the broom were culturally relevant. I realized then that if I wanted a blog that focused on a folkloric approach to Black music, dance, and customs, I would have to create it myself. I'm very glad that blogspot.com makes creating blogs so easy to do.<br /><br />Thanks to all those who have happened upon this blog! Throughout this year I have enjoyed sharing information & comments about and videos of music, dance, and customs from African American and other Black cultures. And I have learned alot from doing so and I have also learned from & appreciate those who have written comments regarding these posts. <br /><br />I look forward to this next year of pancocojams blogging.<br /><br />Thanks again! <br /><br />Azizi Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.com
