To be able to love someone because of the fact that beyond all the egoistic attachments is the epitome of loving another creation of God. It's important though to remember that we are on an earthly experience/ journey and just as God gave us life, He is ultimately the One who takes it back and puts us into another realm for a different experience. So when a soul departs, their earthly experience is over and ours continue and we have to somehow painfully let go of our attachment for it to be different. Love to you my brothers and sisters in humanity.

Charlotte Kelly what an amazing woman and voice. She is awesome peeps... She is the reason Jazzy B had that success and is still in that time zone. Funky Dreds I love them all, But Charlotte for me was the spark of their magic. I’m not being biased I’m just in love I guess

Soul 11 Soul had me searching for his song decades ago. I heard this song, but when I went to buy it, the store clerks only thought Soul 11 Soul had only four cds. Their 4th and 5th cd cover looked nearly the same. I just happened to come across 'I Care,' while on Youtube. I now have their 5th cd. I have many of their cds and videos, because I enjoy watching them live. I didn't care for this video though. I love how raw their videos are. Their talents are noticed when they're in studio jamming.

This song NOWHERE needs any Elevation but she raises the cut strangely enough, her aura it seems -- Class, Beauty & voice. Impressive 2 say the least.
