The black voices that told us to keep our heads to the sky. Optimistic
Do you remember the song Optimistic by the vocal group Sounds of Blackness? It is a song that was recorded for their debut studio album, The Evolution of Gospel in 1991. It was written and produced by Gary Hines, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Optimistic is an urban contemporary gospel song which reached the top three on Billboard’s Hot R&B Singles chart.
As soon as I heard, “ You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky”, I was hooked. There was no other vocal group and instrumental ensemble like Sounds of Blackness in the 90’s. Ann Nebsy was the leader of the vocal group. I often think of the group’s song Optimistic when I’m trying to succeed. I think it would make a great Anthem if it’s not an Anthem already. It’s a song that’s telling us to keep looking up. Never give up.
