"Sweetback's Theme" by Melvin Van Peebles/Earth, Wind & Fire was my husband's ringtone. Now we are crying, as the husband's been dead for a year.

Just finished a bio on James Baldwin. Of course Gordon Parks is in there. But I didn’t see Van Peebles, who apparently lived in France also like Baldwin.
Wonder if they had crossed paths?

Stream is choppy, but this was happening earlier with the 91.1 signal. Maybe something in the studio.
