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

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'S ONE OF THE BEST COVERED ARTISTS EVER
The phrasing I use here is important; I'll explain why.
Much in the tradition of Motown (even though Stevie wasn't a typical Motown artist...Thanks, Marvin), Stevie's catalogue is heavily mined for covers, remakes, and samples...

The thing is, even though there's so much STEVIE in his songs, they completely lend themselves to the cover artists to make their own. I'm not sure if that's Stevie's talent as a composer, or of the other artists.
We all know there's been a which Ribbon is better battle since 93.
