As Memphis Tigers football coach Ryan Silverfield said after his team beat Navy in Annapolis on Saturday, “It’s been a hard week.”
If the burst of high-profile violence in Memphis has you down and anxious, singer/songwriter Richard Wilson has a little burst of positivity for you on this Music Video Monday. “A Happy Day Is Coming” bounces along on a jaunty beat. The gospel tones of the B3 organ are provided by Memphis legend Charles Hodges. As seen in the video, produced by Carrie Leah Sanders, it was recorded at Royal Studios with Boo Mitchell behind the board.
Music can’t cure everything that ails us, but it does help you feel better for a little while, and that feeling is the beginning of hope. Even as we mourn and debate now, let Richard Wilson remind you that this, too, will pass.
