My singer is Sam Sparro. Five generations of Sparro's family are musicians. He got his name from a radio man. The reason I love this artist music is because he’s got the good funk sound. He’s a really good r&b, soul, funk, and pop. His voice is said to have that soulful power. And his music’s deep. You usually listen to him if you’re in love. He is more than worth going out and spending 19$ for a cd. He’s from New York and is very heavy into fashion. I think his most famous song is black and gold. But his song that makes me laugh so hard is probably American boy. Cause he’s gay and doesn’t hold it back in the song. Here’s the first verse in black and gold “if the fish swam out of the ocean, and grew legs and they started walking, and the apes climbed down from the trees, and grew tall and they started talking, and the stars fell out of the sky, and my tears rolled into the ocean, now I’m looking for a reason why, you even set my world into motion, 'cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter, now I’m filled to the top with fear, but it's all just a bunch of matter, 'cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either, I wanna be next to you, black and gold. If you see he’s a clever lyricist. He’s talking about loving someone breaking up and his world crumbling without his man. He doesn’t say man but he’s “strictly *****”. His father was a minister so he’d always sing. Critics say he’s got actual talent and I very much agree. If he’d come to Rochester I would buy a ticket get his CD and jump on stage for his autograph. Sam Sparro is beyond worth 2 hours of pay check. His cd would entertain you for days.
