American Legend: Gloria Loring

 

 I loved what she wrote. I want to share these lyrics with you


Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Ms Loring transcended time and space. The artistic truth, the implosion and explosion of life in her voice, the inner feelings she shared freely and honestly with her audience, her taste in music and repertoire selection, her perfect interpretation and story-telling style of her songs blend together in utmost charm, up lifting feelings, splashes of hope and ray of dreams coming true and heart touching  illustration of events and moments we recognize, we go through and sense  in our daily lives...They blend perfectly and eloquently. Yet, Ms Loring's eloquence does not alienates us, on the contrary, it invites us to rethink what really counts in our lives, what makes the world breathe around us and over horizons we wish to explore. Ms Loring creates an enchanting world we wish to visit, yet we hesitate for a while, for the beauty, warmth and excellence she molds her songs with, appear for a while as dreams and unreachable fantasy, and we hesitate to go one step further. But that world of Ms Loring is what exactly we need, if we want to explore the depth of the human nature, laugh at the irony of destiny and wait for a brighter sun. Her songs are therapeutic. They heal our wounds and sorrow. Her voice is so truthfully beautiful, beautiful to a point where we begin to wonder " Do all those speeches of politicians and lectures of fake prophets are really necessary and important?", and "Why the world of humans does not feed on affection, truth, beauty and music?" This lady is the prophet, the healer and the supra super Diva of the contemporary American song.
