Noel Gourdin’s The River Played on The Tom Joyner Morning Show on Tuesday, May 27, 2008…



I just hear The River by Noel Gourdin played on the Tom Joyner Morning Show this morning. It was right after Tavis Smily finished his commentary that I heard those opening strains of The River welling up behind Tom Joyner’s voice.

But Tom Joyner didn’t give the name of The River by Noel Gourdin, so I thought I’d better put up a post about it for all those black folks that raced down to work to Google it.

Noel Gourdin’s really made it now. For I heard The River on my local radio station recently, and of course Steve Harvey help blow it up in the first place — but not every city gets Steve Harvey.

But just about every black folk in the world — okay, others too — get to hear The Tom Joyner Morning Show. So I’m glad to see it happening. And I bet folks think Gourdin is D’Angelo singing, but Noel is his own man.

The River is so significant…

Okay, that’s it.

Except that I’m thinking of the spiritual signifigance of rivers right now.

Because my son’s name translates to mean river. So he calls himself River sometimes.

And Dora in the background is talking about a river.

And I just read a blog post talking about why rivers are important to black people.

I bet Noel Gourdin will always feel that way about his river…
