In April, an original recording of "RUFUS WONDER- Under the moon. northern soul"
was up for auction on Ebay. The single sold for a lot of money.

It’s becoming more common to hear upbeat messages in
rap music, defying the usual down-and-dirty
lyrics. (Even Bill Cosby has a "positive" rap album
out, and there’s no mention of Jell-O pudding pops
at all!)
Here are a couple from some unusual sources — one
from a ‘60s soul legend, and the other from an
award-winning "gangsta-lit" mystery writer.
Singer-songwriter Rufus Wonder of Oakland is best
known for his soul hits "Under the Moon" and "So
Upset." Once a rising star, Wonder’s career took
different paths. But when he lost his sight about 10
years ago, his focus returned to music. Now, instead
of
love songs or soulful ballads, he wants to
share sentiments of peace. His latest single, "For
Self Respect and Fair Play," can be found at
www.ohostar.com. Here’s a sample:
"Let us all stand tall. Tight knit, and in unity.
Peace, love and respect, throughout the community.
Be proud in our quest for justice and fair play, and
in all things that are positive, to make this a
better day."
