6395. Johnny Wakelin - Black Superman (Muhammad Ali)
 |
| From: Reggae Soul & Rock 'n' Roll; Year: 1976; Genre: Reggae |
A couple of days ago I learned of the death of the outstanding boxer, philanthropist, businessman, preacher and human being George Foreman. I have not been into boxing since the '90s, but my favourite fighter was, without a doubt, George Foreman; there was just something about his amazing personality, overall humbleness and just positive aura about him that I loved about him.
Anyway, I wanted to choose something that fit, and whilst pugilist Muhammad Ali was one of his arch rivals in the ring, it was "The Rumble in the Jungle" between the two that made both more than a household name and I am sure the two had respect for one another and in fact later became friends. Even though there are most likely more appropriate songs out there, this was the first that came into my head and since it is directly related to his bout with Ali, it is my pick for today.
