Rozalla - Everybody's Free (1991)

Rozalla Miller, best known just by her first name, is vintage 1964. Born in Zambia's copper belt, she soon moved. Luckily for the music industry she didn't move north, to war-ridden Congo - no, Rozalla moved further south, to Zimbabwe (talk about Scylla & Caribdys!), joining various R'n'B cover bands and, on occasion, even charting nationally. It wasn't until 1998 that she was discovered and brought to London to join Nigel Swanston and Tim Cox, a.k.a. Band of Gypsies. A couple of releases and they took her solo, producing her most recognised debut 'Everybody's Free'. Massively popular, especially in continental Europe, Rozalla releases a couple of more tracks, but, except for supporting Michael Jackson on his 'Dangerous' tour, hasn't scored highly since. Well, ok, she did score highly in my collection of 7 inches...

Lyrics:

Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free

Brother and sister
Together we'll make it through
Some day a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know you've been hurting but I've been waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just helping you out
Whenever I can

Ohh Ohh
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good

We are a family that should stand together as one
Helping each other instead of just wasting time
Now is the moment to reach out to someone
It's all up to you
When everyone's sharing their hope
Then love will win through

Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good

interval

Everybody's free to feel good (repeated until the track fades)
