Get up About Yourself was a single written by Carl Hampton, Homer Banks, and Raymond Jackson. It’s an oldie but goodie. It may be a song that’s new to some of you. It’s a song that’s new to me. A song that I never heard on the radio, but now we can hear it today. Get Up About Yourself is a song that makes you want to get up. In times like these, we need songs that talks to us. We need the kind of songs that send out positive messages. Forget about the dark and negative stuff. People want to live and feel good.You’re listening to the Podcast Oldies Show. It helps to listen and remember an oldie or two. Some of you are listening to a lot of words that encourages death and violence. Well if you want to live, you got to leave the bad stuff behind and keep on keeping on. I’m Gail Nobles, and today’s topic is about the group Soul Children and their song Get Up About Yourself.Oldies
