Nein, ist kein Schreibfehler..heißt wirklich Blessid, nicht Blessed ;)
Kennt die Jungs noch einer? Ich glaube in den 90ern hatten die ihre gute Zeit. Die Alben sind phänomenal bewertet bei amazon und gebraucht auch günstig zu haben.
Ich kenne eigentlich nur "I believe (that Love is the Answer)" von ihnen, das is aber auch saugut. Super Stimme hat der Junge. Der Song is ne Ballade, gleich mal gucken was die sonst für Mucke machen..denke aber der Rest geht auch in die Richtung. So ein bisschen Seal-like..



Hier mal die Cover von zwei Alben, auf ersterem ist "I believe" drauf..






Die Lyrics..ich denke das kennen viele:

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread world wide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a nigger from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way




Hab das in auch in ner herzzereißenden Version im Zusammenhang mit dem 11. September, wo immer wieder Fetzen von Angehörigen der Opfer dazwischengeschnitten werden. Zum flennen :bawling:



Hier mal ein Auszug aus WIKIPEDIA.COM

Blessid Union of Souls is a American rock band from Cincinnati that was formed in 1990 by Jeff Pence and Eliot Sloan. The current touring band members are singer Eliot Sloan (original member), bassist Tony Clark (original member), drummer Shaun Schaefer (Vinyltones band), and guitarist Bryan Billhimer (Vinyltones band). Two former touring members, keyboard and bassist C.P. Roth and drummer Eddie Hedges, left the band in 2002, and Jeff Pence quit the band sometime in 2006.

Some of the band's biggest hits include "I Believe," "Hey, Leonardo (She Likes Me for Me)," "I Wanna Be There," and "Brother My Brother". Their debut album, "Home," was certified gold by the RIAA in 1995.

In 2000, several of the band's songs were scheduled for use during the production of a film entitled "Standing at the Edge of the Earth" by Fizzle Freak Productions. The film would have co-starred the band's bassist Tony Clark, and the rest of the band would have been featured in prominent roles as well. The film's production was canceled in around the end of 2000 due to legal and financial issues.
