Also, yesteday was the great Steveland Hardaway Judkins Morris’ 68th birthday.
I had heard rumblings that there might be a devotional later https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Winking face" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face">
Happy Monday eve, family.
For this week’s #MusicSermon, we celebrated graduation season by looking at how far we came by faith (ours, or others’) https://twitter.com/i/moments/995903052841476097">https://twitter.com/i/moments...
But yesterday was also the birthday of one of our greatest national treasures, so we have to take a minute to acknowledge Steveland Morris, even if it’s a day late.
This is NOT - I repeat NOT - to be considered a Stevie sermon (bc that would actually be more of a revival), but I do want to highlight a few of the things I most love about Stevie...
1. HE& #39;S ONE OF THE BEST COVERED ARTISTS EVER

The phrasing I use here is important; I& #39;ll explain why.
Much in the tradition of Motown (even though Stevie wasn& #39;t a typical Motown artist...Thanks, Marvin), Stevie& #39;s catalogue is heavily mined for covers, remakes, and samples...
The thing is, even though there& #39;s so much STEVIE in his songs, they completely lend themselves to the cover artists to make their own. I& #39;m not sure if that& #39;s Stevie& #39;s talent as a composer, or of the other artists.
We all know there& #39;s been a which Ribbon is better battle since 93.
