“C’Mon Children” by Earth, Wind, & Fire

“Land of 1000 Dances” by Wilson Pickett

Genre: classic, old school, organic soul and funk.
Sounds like: yesteryear’s soul songs that laid the foundation for R&B and rock ‘n’ roll.
Bottom line: A soundtrack to complement the civil rights era as it related to the struggle for racial equality in sports—particularly black basketball players and coaches, featuring rare grooves from Ray Charles, Earth, Wind & Fire, Wilson Picket, Bar-Keys and Average White Band.
